MADE UP OF S0REHEADS.
Chairman stones Opinion of New Al
lied Third Party.

Kansas City, June 2O-William ]. Stone,
vice chairman of the Democratic National
Committee and national committeeman
for Missouri, said to-day of the allied
third party movement started in Kansas
City yesterday:
II don't think it amounts to anything.
For the most part it is made up of men
who have been disappointed in political
ambitions men who have a grievance, or
who crave leadership"
It was suggested that Lee Merriwetner
of st. Louis, the leading spirit in the
movement had said that unless the Dem
ocratic party of Missouri calls a new
Portle Springs convention to affirm the
principles that his party advocates, 1t
wiz lose the state. On this, Mr. Stone Is
quoted as saying
1T would be absurd. II the Gold
Standard Democrats move for a conven-
ton in the hope of gaining control, 1
would second the motion, for we could
turn them down just as easy as before"

1T other advantages, including freedom
from mould, preservation of the sweet
