THE RECORD OF ACQU1TrAL

For a complete and conclusive answer to the charge
TINT St. Louis il shameless look at the thirty months
record Of the purposes and achievements of its ct-
zens.
In the fall of 1900 good citizenship was brought to
bay by machine of unrivaled criminal capacity and
designs. which had already battened upon the ctys
richest properties robbed it Of franchises and privi
leges, and which then turned its voracious desires
upon Worlds Fair opportunities Of the future. Out
Of the darkest and most desperate conditions which
ever confronted good citizenship the resolve
resist and to attack corruption.
1t was the beginning Of motive which has broad
ened and deepene6 with time; finding its first express
sion in the nomination Of the present Circuit and AS
sistant Circuit attorneys taking strength and i'm
petus with their election growing and extending with
the spring campaign Of 1901, triuphing in the cleo
ton Of Wells and his associates working through the

HARMONY UNATTAINABLE.

Defeat struck the local Republican tickets in the
election of 1900 and in subsequent elections con-
sequence Of misbehayior in office and fractional diff
cuties The reverscs attributed by machine
politicians and party organs to the sufng of ballot
boxes to the activity of members Of the police force
and to sundry other causes IL fact to anything and
everything that permitted of distortion into political
battlecies. The partys maadies had to be concealed
and therefore, attacks were made the Nesbit law
and Democratic officials.
Strife in local Republican ranks grew out of the
notoriety that was acquired by the Ziegenhen gang
and the Republican machine. The public became
tired Of disagreement and gave its support to the
Democratic party that change would he effected
in the management of municipal affairs.
The factions in the Republican party now
farther apart than The union that attempt
ed between the Merchants League Club and the st.
Louis Republican Club failed utterly: they could not
be brought together any terms The party is with
out leader the practical politicians and the ward.
heelers unwilling to work and the organized clubs
are at war one with the other.
Thus the Republicans enter another campaign with
less prospect of victory than ever. They have not
a plausible hope Of success. They look to win
only in the election Of Delegates in few wards that
are overwhelmingly Republican.
Under the circumstances 1t is evident why the
morning organ of the Republican machine is dis
gruntled because a election statute has been
enacted. 1t prefers to cry "Nesbit law" police"
"repeaters." "nailcdup baIlot-boxes," Democratic
conspiracy" and on, to hide the bad record
and the fractional troubles of the local Republican
party.
This time, however the Republican organs were
unable to retain the secret of the partys misforunes
They have openly announced that the clubs could not
be merged and could not be induced work together
under single leader. They have admitted that the
party is disorganzed and that harmony is impossible
Of attainment.
The Democrats will certainly elect their Council
ticket, which is good and ought to be elected for
the Republican party, being disrupted put up
a fight. Furthermore, the voters remember the acts
Of the last Republican administration and they know
what blessings this good-goyernment administration
has provided. They will elect the Democratic Coun-
Gil ticket and support Mayor Wells
Republican organs, especially the morning mouth
piece Of the achine may be expected against
the repealed "Nesbit law and the police" and de-
mand home rule' for st. Louis The voters will
understand these mems They know the party is
seriously i'll Of fractional disturbances and that victory
is impossible for the Republicans. Republican har-
mony is unattanable. The Democratic party is well
organized and has factions. 1t also has made
representative nominations for the Council The Dem
ocratic Council ticket will win and should win.

STAND FOR PROGRESS.

St Louis would have good government and pros
perity If it always had Mayor and City Council
up to the present standard. Most of the voters IT.
respective of party affiliations appreciate this and are
DESTROYS that pleasant conditions should continue as
long as possible. They do desire return to mis-
government.
The present Council has acted in concert with the
Mayor and has endeavored to aid him in putting his
plans into effect. 1t has also exhibited high regard
for public interests and has re-estabished principles
that forgotten during the period of combine leg
is!aton. Ii has protected the people at every oppor
tunity and has treated for the city in businesslke
way.
Seven of the Councilmen are Democrats, and these
seven will remain In office after next months cleo
ton. But, one of the Councilmen cannot be classed
surely, friendly to the Mayors policy of advance
ment Therefore, the Democratic majority of one
is not certainty If The Councilman would
balk the appointments, at the request Of to help
n political eader-and this is not impossible-the
Mayors appointments could be held up indefinitely
by Republican minority and in consequence prog
ress would be INSTRUCTED and the Mayors plans set
awry.
Whether the Mayor has done his duty well enough
to claim the support of the is left the
to decide They Informed as to his policies his
methods his civic pride his earnestness his integrity
and his industry. They know that he has done his
work well that his record is not surpassed by any
Mayor that the city has had.
The Mayors plans could not be INSTRUCTED with
out detriment to public interests That is clear to
every citizen. II he should be opposed by partisans
in the City Council, progress would come to stand
still. Any kind of opposition would be obstruction
because the Mayor is working for St Louis. He is
spending his own money to help public work
The voters the Mayor support for the excel
lent work he has done for the city, for the good
government that he has furnished. They sup,
port him best and ratify his progressive policy best
by electng the Democratic Council ticket This is
good ticket and deserves to be elected its merits
