PHELPS AND KERENS.

1t is not surprising that Republican National Com
mitteeman kerens took little interest in the Judicial
Convention which was held in Joplin. In the first
place he has other fish fry besides the naming of
candidates for the Supreme Court: secondly State
Chairman Atkins had his machine in such fine working
order that the Colonel had no chance TO stop the
wheels.
Previous disclosures have indicated what the as
tute National Committeeman will do during the next
few months. He is engaged in the work of securing
the nomination Of friendly factonaistS for the Gen
eral Assembly in districts where Republicans have
chance of winning. Everything else can 20 by the
board if he can be assured of the Republican nomna-
ton in the Legislature and the Senate
His plan of campaign has been marked out 1t was
made in The office of Colonel William H. Phelps who
helped patch up harmony in the Republican ranks
though claiming to be a Democrat An agreement
made in the offices of Missouri Pacific Rail
road which the nomination of Kerens by the
lobby.
With that end in view. Phelps and Kerens have
launched third party field which is receiving
the substantial support of the whole Phelps combina
tion. Its speakers being directed by these two
men. Significantly enough. they are paying most at
tenon in the country to the Fifteenth Congressional
District, the home of Phelps and where he has been
all but eliminated. Every doubtful county in that
section of the State will be invaded 10y the lobby
directed third-party workers
BY refusing TO let the State Convention take ac-
ton a senatorial nomination State Chairman
Atkins showed conclusively his acquiescence in the
Missouri Pacific agreement. Kerens is the one who
viii profit. With minority nomination for United
States Senator, he will able to name the Postmas
tiers of Missouri If Phelps is able to accomplish his
avowed purpose, Kerens will be elected United States
Senator.
And Missouri does not want politician of the
kerens stripe 10 represent it in Washington He has
attracted every undesirable spoils hunting henchman
10 his service In St Louis the old Ziegenhein crowd
attached TO him, and succeeded in keeping control
of two out of three congressional districts Out in
tGe State the old Postmasers are using every posi-
bic 10 nominate his friends for the General As
sembly The Republic has given particular instances
The people of this State will not encourage such
work. They will not vote for the consummation of
lobby agreement Phelps and Kerens misunderstood
public sentiment when they assume TO beat it with
syndicate composed Of the lobby. the Republican ma
chine. the third party and the erwether contingent
The syndicate cannot command the votes.

fers of financial assistance in the rebuilding of that
exquisite shaft.
There is no reason earth why the restoration of

is every good reason why it should he the proud task

necessary to the rebuilding of the Campanie still

Wherefore it is comforting read in the cable
news that there is Venetian disposition TO make the

While it is true to human nature that the English
