A HINT FROM HARRISON.
How Missouri Republicans Came to
Poll Their state.
st. Louis Globe-Democra

st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
A party of Missourians called at the
White House Gre day during President Har
rison's term to talk about political pros
poets in the State. Farmer Wade did most
of the talking. He told the President why
he thought there was an unusual opportuni-
ty. in the campaign then opening TO redeem
Missouri. General Harrison listened and
time Suddenly he interrupted with What
did your last poll show, Colonel Wade?"
"Poll?" said the congressman. II don't
mean, Mr.. PRESIDENT" What figures did
your last canvass of voters of the State
ful?" explained the President Il don't
know that we have any poll of the State.
Mr. President" Farmer Wade confessed
DO you mean to say that you have got
committee hasn't polled the State by pre-
cincts to find out how you stand?" asked
Go back home. Colonel Wade and take
poll, precinct by precinct, county by coun-
gin to talk about carrying Missouri This
blunt. 1t threw the Missourians into
some confusion. But they knew the Pres-
dent had obtained his political schooling in
a State where organization and campaign
methods rad been refined and perfected by
many close campaigns They were face to
hopes upon no foundation. One who was
present when President Harrison gave the
Missourians the first lesson in party or
ganlzation said yesterday: Il don't believe
the Republicans ever made what party man.
