| The vast majority Of the dominant party in

governor Of the state. In st. Louis my dis

| the supposed Cleveland and Warner move

ear then about to ripen into Cieve-
land a1d Warner clubs in the state Brother
Stone made the authoritative inquiry in that
| speech. by whose authority such a move was
being made: Well. I don't know whether 4
movement wa5 ever anticipated by anyone ex-
| cept democrats or not; at any rate. can say
| that while should not object to any Cleve
| Land democrat voting for ma. yet must say
| that know nothing of tho movement. but sup
pose if there had been those who desired to :
ganize such club they would have had the
| ris.lt to 90 so without having their authority
questioned by my distinguished friend, my
self, for the matter OF that. At least this IS
one of the principles of the new Missouri: which
| IS now taking hold of the the people Of this
state The right to rule the state without ow-
| ing allegiance to any particular ring gang
belongs to the people. and this right feel con

running for governor just for my health:''
| And he replied that I would have much
| trouble in running fast enough. as there was q
| Stone IN the road. Ireplied TINT at time
there was stone between the atonement and
man Is redemption, and that Mary MagdaIene
had relied that stone away, and that thereby
the prophecy that the Saviour would rise again
was fulfilled. I said, further, that there was
about quarter of a million of US in this state
in tho resurrection business this year, and
that we would roll that Stone out of my road

the dominant party in this state than there are
