THE SENATOR.

fact that one OF the most important
Offices, so far as our local interests are
concerned, is to be filed at the coming
election. The Office which so affects
us personally is that Of state senator.
BY the provisions Of the constitution
of this state, the senate is composed of
thirty-four members, who are elected
for term of four years. 1t therefore
requires eighteen votes TO pass bill
or resolution in that body.
1t is unnecessary to remind voters
and property owners in Sedalia OF the
fact that this city has had and will
have important interests before the
state legislature. We have heretofore
agitated the removal of the capital
to this city We confidently expect
that in the fullness of time this will
he the capital of the state. Such
seems to be our manifest destiny.
When the bonded Indebtedness Of the
state is more nearly paid off and :he
state takes up the proposition of Tic
erection of such a magnificent capitol
as shall compart with its true dignity,
its great future and its boundless re-
sources, the logic of the situation will
point to Sedalia alone Is the proper
place for its location. If active de-
mapd for the submission of removal is
now to be made, it should be
the duty of Sedalia and her citizens
as well as the people Of this county.
whose interests are the same, to put
on guard in the leglsla-
ture only true and trusted
friends of the city. Sedalia, for itself
and the county should certainly see
we'll to it that she has representative
not only in the lower house, but in
the Senate also, who shall take care
that no further appropriations are
made to tie the capital to its present
location. The interests of our peo-
pie are not, however, to be centered
alone in this proposition. If State
fair is to he established or if any other
state institution is to be located or re-
located, Sedalia has an opportunity
to have a Senator who will secure her
at least a fair show.
In this correct view of the case no
mere matter of politics is involved in
this office 50 far rs Sedalians are con-
cerned. One of our citizens, Alr.
Charles Z. Yeater, is a candidate for
this Office. He has lived i'll shi> COM
munity from childhood. In his pro-
fession he has achieved success. He
is property owner interested in the
city. and man of high ami honorable
standing. Fully possessed OF all the
qualifications for the Office he could
and would always make splendid
fight for our interests. On the floor
of the senate he will he heard and will
command attention, and if untiring
energy, perseverance and persistency,
coupled with talents of the highest
order can accomplish favorable re-
suits. We can expect them from his
labors.
What would it profit the property
owners and the citizens and laboring
men of this city, regardless OF their
political beliefs, interested as they are
in its prosperity, to vote for the OPP
posing candidate, Mr.. Smith of Saline
county, a stranger to us and our inter
ests. The people Of Sedaila IN thu
instance have an opportunity Il
"!Stcnd up tor Ssdalia." Let US do Sc
by giving Mr.. Iester such an over
whelming majority in his own city
and county as will be such an endorse
ment as will materially assist him in
obtaining the craftsmanship Of an i'm
portant committee so that he ma,
thereby WELD greater and stronger
influence in behalf Of our own in
terests.
The next senator from this distric
must be q Sedalian.
There is every indication that thu
