VICTORY CAN BE WON.

Republican success would be worth
n great deol to Missouri. Every in
tclligent republican knows this, and
knowing it ought 10 do everything
possible for the success of the party.
A republican victory would place the
affairs of the state in the hands of
progressive, public-spiritcd citizens,
and would give old Missouri a boom
that would soon place her far in adj
Of surrounding states. A re-
publican victory would invite immi-
grafton and capital, encourage enter
prise and industry, and give notice
to the world that the people of Mis-
souri, were in favor of progress and
Improvement in every possible dircc-
ton, Of promoting every legitimate
interest, and of building up and ex-
tending the industries of the state.
A republican victory would be worth
millions to the state. 1t would bene-
fit every business, every industry,
every occupation, except that Of the
politician, and every man, woman
and child in the state. A republican
victory would attract more attention
to the state, and advertise it more ex-
:ensively and in a more beneficial
way than anything else that could be
done. A republican victory is needed
in Missouri. 1t is needed in order
that the state may be properly gov
erned and its interests properly
served. A republican victory q be
won if the right kind of work is done.
The right kind of work to be done
now Is organization. Clubs ought to
be organized in every part of the
state. And, after thorough organi,
cation is effected, then the right kind
Of q ticket should be nominated and
the right kind of men should be
placed in charge of the management
ofithc party and Of the campaign.
With organization and the right
kind of leadership and management
the republican party can win avic'
tory III Missouri. Without this very
little can be done. Now is the time

1t now looks as il he democracy has

that in Legislative bodies the minority

democrats; that a democratic legislature
can be abseut and present ut the same

but not specifies; that they have Il
right to block necessary legislation by
not voting and declaring themselves
absent. In order to correct this foolish
nonsense we understand that II Prof.
Reed III Washington has undertaken to
give free instruction on constitution law
aud parliamentary rule, and that he al
ready has 4 large class of democratic
congressman who, we hope. will be much
benefited. Some very eminent demo-
Gratis have joined the class, Breckenridge
of Kentucky, Springer of Illinois and
Gimlet Hole Bland Of Missouri. But if
