MIsSOURpS

The seventeen presidential electors of
Missouri met at Jefferson City last Mon
day and cast the seventeen electoral
votes of Missouri for William Jennings
Bryan, and selected Wiley o. Cox, Of
Kansas City, official messenger to carry
the vote to Washington.
The honor Of officially bearing the
news that imperial Missouri was not
bought. bartered or sold''; that she was
not ''coerced, intimidated or impugned'';
that she was not foolish enough to bite
at false promises or follow false gods,
falls to a Missourian whom every Bryan
voter delights to see honored.
When Wiley o. Cox gets to Washing
ton with the official message from Mis-
souri, he will perhaps impart no news
that has not already reached them; but
when he turns over to the vice-presldent
the vote of this state, what cruel re-
minder 1t will be to Grover, who was
once loved and now r~epudiated by Mis-
sourians. And then, too, it will likely
cause "Our Dave to ponder sadly and to
regret the day when he wilfully and
almost with malice aforethought COM
mitted political suicide. And then there
Is that old political renegade and turn
coat, John NJ. Palmer, who was prom
ised 5000 votes in this state, and who
received all but 1900 of them. What
will be think?
Sad, sad news for Grover, and for "our
Dave" and for Palmer, that Wiley o.
Cox will carry to Washington. But the
bearer of the message rejoiceth. He
comes with news of victory. in no small
part due to the vigorous fight made by
his Kansas City Times. If every paper
In this nation which parades itself as
democratic had battled as did the Times
the victory would have been national.
Bryan would have been elected with
votes to spare. But they did not all
hght like the Times. Some bolted.
Others, that did not bolt, stabbed the
candidate in secret, and did the oppOs-
ing side more good than il they had
bolted. But the Times did not falter.
We speak advisedly when we say that
the Times hit more telling blows and
more of them for the cause of democracy
than any paper in this western country.
Its editorial columns are. and were
during the campaign, the equal if not
the superior of any journal in the coun-
try. It's pews, while not as extensive as
that of some other papers, was better,
because it was reliable. These facts the
silver men of Missouri are beginning to
appreciate. Wiley o. Cox is making a
great democratic paper. The silver men
need such, and they must rally to its
support.
The election of Mr.. Cox as official
messenger was a compliment due him.
The patronage and support of the silver
men of Missouri is due his paper. We
make u mistake if we don't assist in
building up tine Times, that its influence
may be b%roadened and our cause pro-
NOTED.

people who had known and highly

He had been a member of the city council
since June, 1895, and was a member of
