INCREASE 1913 OVER ,94.
Democratic Missouri.

EEum LHC CucESDH Niky LIApuuCs
The result of the recent elections
throughout the State clearly indicate
that Missouri is solidly Democratic.
The Republicans carried the State four
years ago by a small margin on &C
count of Democratic apathy and since
that time they have sincerely be-
lieved Missouri belonged to the
Republican column. During the late
campaign they made desperate efforts
to elect the State ticket and to capture
the Legislature by the liberal use OF
"slush fund.-" but in each instance
they were signally defeated.
They prosecuted their campaign upon
the national Administrations war
record and spent money freely in the
purchase of floating voters. 1t
should be gratifying to the State adj
ministration to know that on no occa-
sion has its management been attacked
by Republican stump speakers.
Neither has a single Republican news
paper assailed a single act of Gov.
Stephens or his associates. His ap-
pointees have all been clean, honest
and competent. The series of articles
concerning State issues prepared by
Gov. Stephens and published in the
st. Louis Republic was condensed into
Q pamphlet form and sent by order
of the State Committee broadcast
all over the State. 1t is estimated
that nearly everyDemocratic voter re-
ceived one of those booklets, and the
good 1t did was indicated by the
election returns.
He reviewed in this pamphlet the
administration OF State affairs since
his incumbency as Governor and
showed by statistics that the manage
ment of the State institutions was IN
o more healthy condition than ever
before. ALI this was gratifying to
Missouri's voters and they Endorsed
Gov. Stephens with an avalanche Of
ballots. While the Governor did not
take the stump, it is well known that
he did most effective work from his
Office, which presented the appear
ance of the State committee head
quarters. The Governor is a tireless
worker and never let's up until victory
10 his. The Tribune extends con-
gratulations to Gov. Stephens for the
magnificent Inducements of his ad-
ministration given him by the voters
Of Missouri on election day.

year and the board had gone to con-
siderable expense to fit up quarters
for the younger patrons Of the library.
All the books secured by the children
a reading room had been fitted up es-
pec1ally for their benefit. The space al
lotted to the library proper was now
overcrowded and if the court house and
city hall commission insisted on the
Juvenile department being placed back
In the library the department would
have to be abandoned.
Assemblyman Nelson, who is chair
man of the building committee, stated
last evening that there was no need
for two rooms being given over to the
department used exclusively by chill
dren who patronized the library. The
rooms were needed for other depart
ments of the city government and the
children could just as well be served
with books in the library proper.
There was no need. he said, for
reading room for children. He pre-
TERED to have his children secure their
books and bring them home to read,
and he was Of the opinion that other
parents also favored this plan. Aside
from the phase of this question there
was plenty of room in the library for
a juvenile department, and so far as
he could learn the only reason the
Juvenile department was started was In
order that older persons should not be
annoyed by the children when they
came after books.
