Judges and clerks at each vot-

between the two parties, as is
the case the state over. To

frauds were practiced in St.

their own election judges and
clerks were corrupt, as it could
not be done without their con-

The Kansas City Star, Re.
publican paper in speaking of
the Republicans State Conven-
ton at Jefferson City this week
among other things says: But
there is another fact about the
convention that must impress
outsiders the fact that the par.
ty leaders are more concerned
about patronage than principle.
With splendid opportunities,
they fail to make any moving
appeal to the independent vo.
tiers of the state. The man
dissatisfied with the Democrat
ic administration finds little
hope in reading of the Republi-
can squables at Jefferson City.
The convention proceedings give
him little ass urance of relief
were the Republicans to be put
in control. A convas that
seems to be a mere scramble
for office is not attractive.
Missouri Republicans must show
a different spirit from that APP.
parent in Jefferson City before
