Washington. Aug. Ex-senator Cockrell
of Missouri, looked more like back coun-
ty farmer than the leader of the Demo
cratic minority in the United States Sen
ate. as he trudged around the various de
partments the other day looking after
the interests of his constituents.
Although the thermometer registered 80
degrees in the shade. the Missouri Sen

is more enthusiasm. more sincerity of pur-

and he is not as sanguine as Senator
Jones appeared to be that New York will
be found in the Democratic column in

and ends of his local affairs. preparatory
to eoine, 20 work in the camnaipn He
had no criticism to pass upon the per-
sonnet of the Executive Committee as
named bv Senator Jones. and showed not
the slightest sign of disappointment at
not being a member of that body. AS
usual. the senior senator from Virginia
declined 10 indulge in anv wild specula-
ton as to the result of the November
| elections. He stated very frankly that
! the Democratic party has a strong and
powerfully equipped enemy to combat
| and it will require complete harmony of
| action, perfect organization and hard and
| persistent fighting to dislodge the present
| administration from power. He regards
| the chances between the two parties so
| evenly balanced that the slightest blum
| der on the part of either of the combat
| ants might cause disaster So far as he
| is advised the democracy throughout the
| land is thoroughly united and confident
| of success and so far as his individual
! efforts are concerned, he proposes to do
! everything in his power to help elect the
! Bryan and Stevenson ticket.
