D'ARMOND SHOWS MUCH STRENGTH
He Will Enter Caucus the FayOrite for
the Minority Leadership.

I Washington, Nov. 24.-Congress-
man DeArmond of Missouri, reached
Washington this morning and has
taken quarters for the session at his
old residence, the Varnum. During
the day, Judge DeArmond received
numerous callers, many of the MEM
bers, without solicitation, assuring
him of their support in his candidacy
for leadership of the democrats upon
the floor of the house. Judge De
Almond discusses the situation with
his usual modesty, and will make no
claim as to the result of the demo-
cratic caucus, which will be held next
Friday or Saturday. Although Mr.
DeArmond has not made an active.
vigorous canvass for the honor and
has not ventured to make an esti-
mate of the strength of the various
candidates, the Republic correspond
ent has learned that the Missourian
will enter the caucus the leading can
didate.
From preliminary survey of the
contest it seems probable that the
comparative strength is about as
follows:
DeArmond from 80 to 60. Richard
son of Tennessee from 30 to 45,
Bankhead of Alabama 35 to As, and
Sulzer of New York, the remainder.
There are 1853 democratic members
in the next house.
Mr.. DeArmond said:
THE selection ought to be made |
with reference to the good of the |
party, rather than to crafty the am
bitiOn of any aspirant for the honor.
I'm that view of the matter any MEM
Der aspiring to the honor ought to
De willing to abide the selection of
Ills associates without making special
Efforts to promote his own fortunes,
md cheerfully accept their action"
The utmost good feeling prevails
among the four gentlemen promi-
nently named for the post, and no
lOubt they will remain friends after
he contest has been decided.

The project so diligently advocated
by few democrats for a state pri-
mary, is dead. 1t was a very seduc-
tive scheme, and for a time promised
to be popular, but for all that it
would not stand investiga ton. The
more it was discussed, the more pal
pable and glaring its weaknesses and
impracticabilities became Without
doubt, it had its inception, not in a
desire to promote the welfare of the
party, but in the brain of some per-
son or persons who were seeking to
accomplish individual and mercenary
ends. But thanks be to the best and
most influential newspapers of the
state it is now thing of the past

ly since 1896 Then he was almost
unknown, the boy orator of the
Platte, was crude and new and some
men of wealth hesitated to trust him
in a post of such great power as the
presidency. But now he has been
before the public for four years and l
believe that he has won the respect
even of his bitterest foes and surely
that of those who only differ with his
views. Rich men are no longer afraid
to trust him. So at least it seems to

SALINE AND VERNON.
Put the Stamp Of DisapprOval on the
State Primary Plan.

| The Democratic Central Committee
OF Saline county, at a meeting held
in Marshall on the 25th inst, took
up the state primary matter, and af-
ter discussing it in all it's phases.
adopted the following resolutions
against the primary plan of selecting
candidates:
Resolved, That we favor the re-
tention of the established method of
nominating the state officers by con-
ventiOn and oppose the proposed
change to a state primary. Our
party organization has proven eff
cient in the past and we deem the
proposed change, a state primary.
unnecessary and unwise.
Resolved, That the chairman of
this committee be instructed to send
a copy of these resolutions to the
chairman of the State Democratic
Committee.
The following from Nevada, shows
the primary method is not i'm favor
amongst the democrats of Vernon
county:
For more than twenty years the
democracy of Vernon county has
been nominating candidates by pri-
mary method. but of late there has
been agitation for a change, so the
county committee met here to-day
to consider the question. The ma
iOrity favored the convention meth
cd, because, as they said. the primary
plan had propagated much fraud and
corruption in the party. On a vote
being taken, it was decided to name
the county ticket next year by con-
vention. Resolutions were adopted
favoring the naming of state ticket
by the same method"
The ST. Joseph Gazette, the lead
ing daily democratic paper of north
west Missouri. was at first favorable
to a general primary in Missouri. but
now sees the utter impracticability
of the plan, and in its Sunday edition
says:
$50 many of the democratic lead
ers. in all parts of Missouri have ex-
pressed their opposition to the pri-
mary scheme that the State Central
Committee, if guided by what ap-
pears to be the wish of the majority.
will declare in favor of the old-style
and the primary move
ment may be considered as dead"

Yes, one or two farmers in Bates
county did get big price for their

nit that the republican party was
responsible for it, by being response
BILE for the trust that controls the
broom corn supply, and G. b. Par
ker was fortunate in holding his crop
until the trust, after buying up the
bulk of the broom corn raised i'm the
country, kindly raised the price for
it's own benefit. " lille one or two
farmers were benefited thousands
have to pay the in0eased price on

SAYS DE ARMOND WILL WIN.
Representative Cowherd Sizes Up Con-
test for MINORITY leadership.

Washington. ID. c., Nov. 2I.-The
Missouri democratic members of con-
gress have made a thorough canvass
of the contest for minority leader.
AS a result they predict tonight that
Representative DeArmond will enter
the democratic caucus next Saturday
with about sixty votes and that he
will be selected floor leader for the
democrats. The arrival Ofmany dem
ocratic members within the last two
days has enabled the Missourians to
get an insight into the situation.
They are not guessing when they af-
firm that Mr.. DeArmond's strength
is growing.
Representative Cowherd. who arrived
to-day, held a conference with the
other members of the delegation.
He said tonight: MIR DeArmond
will be the floor leader of the minority
party. He has been gaining rapidly.
We believe he can win OH the third or
fourth ballot. His strength is not
to one locality but of course
the bulk of his votes will come from
the west. Richardson. Bankhead and
Sulzer are working hard. She best
feeling obtains But Missouri is al
most certain to win.

money. The robbers beat and burn

gave up their monny, $500. 1t is
