Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1901-05-16
Does Not Favor Convention.

Jefferson City, Mo-, May Z,
1901.-To the Editor of the
Mail: I am in receipt of your
letter asking my opinion of 1.-the
necessity for another Pertle
Springs Convention"
In order that this question
ma y be answered INTEL gently
it is necessary, think, to com.
pare party conditions in Mis-
souri, now with those exist ing
in 1895.
In the latter year the Democ.
racy was confronted with a
national | administration chosen
by Democratic votes, acting in
open hostility to the convictions
of an overwhelming majority of
the party in this State.
The party machinery, both
national and State, was domi-
mated by the national admins.
tration.
In a large number of the
counties Of this State the party
machinery was under the same
influence.
Then a great party principle
was involved, with the masses
of the party on one side and the
party machinery on the other.
That there should be, under
such conditions, widespread
discomfort, positive demand for
party reorganization and a dec
laration of party principles,
was but natural.
What are the condit ions to-.
day?
The party organization, ma
tionally, was selected at the
convention which unanimously
nominated Mr.. Bryan.
In Missouri the party machin-
cry is in thorough accord with
the rank and file of the orgaui,
zation.
We have just come out of a
campaign in which Missouri
Democrats made the proudest
record Of any State in the
Union. There was no faltering,
no going back, no surrender OF
principle IN this State.
Why then the need of re,
organization, or reaffirma tion ol
party principles by an extraor
dinary convention in Missouri
so soon upon the heels of this
splendid victory?
Does the tact that in the
election of a worlds Fair mayor
in st. Louis business interests
were placed paramount to party
considerations make such an ex.
traordiuary convention necessa
ry?
Or let US go further, and sup
pose that business considera
tions had nothing to do will
the result in st. Louis, but, OF
the contrary, the election of the
Democratic nominee was the re
suit of d determination on the
part of certain persons who
have not in recent campaigns
supported the Democracy, t.
get control Of party affairs il
this State and shape party pol
itics.
If such a person exists, il
there any doubt of the abilit.
of the Missouri State Democra
cy to take care of itself?
Are the forces, which mad
Missouri the hammer Damocra /,

APPEAL TO FEDERAL COURT.
New York Gamblers Claim That the State Law
Are Unconstitutional.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, July 31.-The gamblers
and pool room proprietors have insti-
tuted. through their attorneys and
John r. Dos Passos, their counsel, a
proceeding to take the cases of Charles
Bennett, an alleged associate of 1.-THE"
Allen, to the United States Circuit
Court ,on the ground that sections 34a
and 351 of the penal code of this State
in regard to gambling are contrary
and repugnant to the Constitution of
the United States and the amendments
thereto and the laws of the United
States" Mr.. Dos Passos said that if
the United States Circuit Court sus-
tanned the allegation that the State
laws were unconstitutional, it would
have the effect of making illegal the
sentences of the alleged gamblers
raided and afterward convicted by the
Committee of Fifteen and would neces-
state revision of the laws as they
pertain to gambling in the State of
New York. This is the first time step
of this character has been taken in
this State.
