On the Woes Of the Democrat State
Committee.

you OF something rare. OF course
you all know Champ Clark and
you know him to be sincere and
under certain conditions frank, for
instance he was terrible frank
down close to st. Charles once.
Champ Is free silver man with
all his magnificent physique,
elbow room and all. And now
comes one William Joel Stone, a
man of great adaptability, and Of
considerable fame as trust fighter
and assays to dcadcn Champs
ambition along senatorial lines
and thereby hangs tale. Champ
Clark wants n senatorial primary
but In as much AS Bill Stone Is the
candidate Of the Dockcry-S -Scibcrt-
Cook 1T al machine the Democratic
State committee says he cannot
have It. The machine comes out
boldly and tells the good free silver
supporters Of Clark they must take
a gold bug machine candidate. IL
is the beginning of the end. The
democracy Of Missouri must leave
free silver and take up gold stan
dard II they wish to stand In with
the powers that be. just watch
the democratic press of Montgom-
cry county and see them fall in
line and then 20 back to some of
my articles during the last cam

gomery County was turned down
by the state committee.

down the Republic says II Is
an attack ON the party and then
when the resolutions OF Hon. W.
l.. Gupton was turned down, logic.

Montgomery county was turned
down, rs he ia their accredited
chief. Right here | want to say
that | admire him for his mnn-
hood for that more means that
Mr.. Gupton has seen the rotten
ness of the Democratic machine
and In connection with other men
who have the nerve he has been
instrumental in launching u good
deal more that a mysterious Mr..
Brown can't buy OIL. The fight
has only commenced and 1t will be
carried to Montgomery COUNTY
and the question will then be this I:
either fall in line with the machine
or raise your own money and fight
your own battles. wouldn't

fluence 10 "nirD who have entered
into solid compact with me to
devote at least two solid weeks
OF their time to the interest Of
the Republican county ticket
and as much more of their time
as they deem necessary. We are
all old war horses and while our
work will be quietly done we know
the old paths so well that somc-
thing Is going to bust. "Auld

yet saddest music that ever was
sung and the few remaining years

noble struggle in the cause.
