THIS U DISGUST.
Falling OF in The Missouri Democratic
congressional Vote.

JEFFERSON City, Nov. PA
comparison of the vote in this State
for Judge Of the Supreme Court with
the congressional vote but empha-
sizes the belief that Democrats were
actuated to refrain from voting
through disgust with the failure OF
Congress to redeem Democratic
pledges and promises. Black received
226, SAT votes, while the Democratic
congressional vote is but 220,2l7, a
difference of $3.50.
This is not the worst of it. Not
only did $3.50 Democrats refuse to
indorse their Congressman, but over
one third of this number, or 2,O72,
| scratched and voted for Republican
nominees. This is shown by a com
parison of the Republican congress
ional vote with the Republican vote
for Judge of the Supreme Court,
Robinson received 229, Gal votes,
while the Republican congressional
vote is 231,713, a difference of 2,O72.
Besides this, n. O. Nelson, the
Single Tax candidate in the Twelfth
Congressional District, pulled off an
other 1904 votes, and these came
from Cobb's strength, as is Blacks
vote in his district, it being: Black,
1909; Cobb, 1O,O95.
Democracy in Missouri may have
been out of humor with the National
administration, but they registered a
decided kick against Congress.
