Gov. Stephens has written q two

1.-The thousands Of miles OF sea that
rolls between us and any foreign foe
renders it unnecessary that we should
maintain a large standing army. The
policy Of our people and OF our govern
ment has been against 1t. That policy
has been against a large standing army
because there VAS no necessity for it.
There is non today. We are the only
nation in the world that q declare
war against 8 foreign foe and prepare
for it afterwards, because Of our geo.
graphical isolation from the great
armed powers Of the world. For this
reason we do not need a standing army
and should not maintain one. The
spirit Of the military world is not in
accord with the spirit Of personal free
dom and American liberty. Its cult

ment o add to our prosperity. A

state central committee, selected al

Of the democracy in Missouri were

Washington, d. c., July 2G.-The

is simply to begin the discussion Of
