STONE GETS EXCITED
MISSOURI SENATOR DENouNcEs
THE PRESS.

In Elaborate Explanation of His Con-

Hounded Outrageously - Bryan
Takes Shot at Eastern Democrats.

Kansas City, April 21.-United
States Senator VIM. j. Stone address
ing the annual convention of the Mis-
souri, Democratic Press association
yesterday made an elaborate explain
atom of his connection with the bak-
ing powder legislation and enforce
ment OF state pure food laws. He bit
terly denounced the daily newspapers
of the state, which, he declared, had
bounded" him outrageously. The
senator Iabored under intense excite
ment and protested against the perse-
cution to which he had been subjected
by the "scavengers of the press who
had used the "assassin's methods. ;"
lie shouted Before my God | fear
them not; l laugh in their faces and
spit upon them"
Stone denied the reports that he
had been in conference with Colonel
Phelps and Lieutenant Governor Lee
since the Legislative session had been
begun. He declared he had no part
in the passage of the anti-alum law OF
1899 and did not know for nearly a
year that it had been enacted, As a
private attorney he had assisted in the
enforcement of the state pure food
laws and in 1900, when it was pro
posed to repeal the anti.alum law, he
wrote an argument against the repeal,
but he did not visit jefferson City.
Il swear to you | never spoke nor
wrote to any member of either house
of the legislature concerning this mat
ter, but what | have told you, he de
clared Il hope every guilty man will
be uncovered"
Closing his address Stone said: Il
nope God will wither my hand, palsy
my tongue and burn my heart in
flames of hell before | will intentional.
ly dishonor any position to which the
people of Missouri assign me"
William j. Bryan was a prominent
speaker. He said throughout the
country he found deep and growing
dissatisfaction among the republican
voters with the policy of the admin
istration," and urged his hearers to
keep the democratic party so different
from the republican. so that in time
of stress people would turn to dem,
ocracy for deliverance. He praised
Missouri for its prosecution of the
packing houses, and said the federal
government seems afraid to enforce
criminal law, and prefers the use of
iniunctions." Bryan said that some
of the professed democratic papers OF
the east did more harm in four years
of apologizing for the democratic plat
form than they undld in four months
of the campaign when they supported
the ticket"

Exceptions are noted to every para.

claimed to be in error in rendering

The appeal alleges among other
things that the court erred in finding

also claims me court erred in finding

1t is alleged that the court erred in

that the state has not the exclusive
power to forbid the combination Of
