Extract eff a Letter.-NIissouri.

From the following extract of letter,
which we received from gentleman resid-
ing in Missouri, It will be seen that our
Wing friends IN that State are buckling on
their armor for the approaching contest.
South Missouri, April 5, 1914.
To the Editor Of the YazOo City Whig:
DEAR SIR:-Supposing you DESTROYS to
be made acquainted with the aspect Of poll
teal affairs Thought the different sections
of country, have thought proper TO specu-
late somewhat in regard to the prospects Of
the Republican Wing party in Missouri. -
The canvass is fairly opened, and the cham>
pions Of the coniending parties are prsPar-
ing to take the field in defence Of their res
pectivs fayoriles for the FIRST Office in the
gift Of the people. You will no doubt be
surprised TO learn that the wings have dared
to step forward in the contest in this state,
so long subject TO the iron rule and despo
lie sway of Benton and Benton's clique, and
ftbe sunSlsine Of royal favor, aRd revolve a
round the ''Great Humbugn as centre; bIl
| il is nevertheless true. The party 10 or
ganizing with a unanimiiy unparalleled
no sectional views are discussed-no pri.
Vaie ends are TO be subssrved. They ap
pear to have laid aside all individual inter
rests and preferences, and are marching for
ward in solid phalanx, with an ardoF which
portends. if not complete triumph, par.
tial regeneration. "PriRcipes non hOrmines'
is the motto, and is glorious one. On the
contrary our opponents are divided in re-
ference to matters of State policy, and ('dis
gust0d no doubt with one another) are quar-
Telling at a round rate. In this state OIL
things, you need not be surprised to hea
of our having carried both branches Of tbC
! legislature, and routed the whole band o
BENTON Locofocos in the State. A ''ClaI
Of thunder" will burst upon the locofocos
about the ''ldes" of August and Novembe
which will stamp wonder and astonshmen
upon their vsagss, end carry dismay int
their hearts. 1t will be the voice of an injured
people calling their unworthy stewards to al
account, and for the restoration Of right
despoiled and privileges abused. II will b.
an awful reckoning. They may feign to dis
believe it, but the signs of the times are no
to be mistaken. Look out for a wing shou
from Missouri.
The presidential election is regarded
