NO OPPOSITION IN WORTH COUNTY.
GRANT CRY, no April I Folk
was indorsed by The unanimous vote
of the mass Democratic Convention OF
Worth county at Grant City to-day,
and the two delegates TO the State
Convention instructed for him
The convention also indorsed James
Todd, Of Maryyllle, for Lieutenant
Governor; j. M. Salee, of Bethany, for
Attorney General; Albert o. Allen for
State Auditor; A. M. Woodson, Of st.
Joseph, for Judge of the Supreme
Court; FL. II. Timmonds, OF Lamar,
for Judge Of the Kansas City Court OF
Appeals; G. e Ellison, OF MaryvIlle,
for Judge Of the Fourth Judicial Cir
cult Court and J 4. Mccullough, OF
Stanberry, for State Senator from the
First District.
A few weeks ago some Hawes sup
porters made some showing OF inten-
tion to make contest at the conven-
tion for Hawes for governor, but the
sentiment for Folk had become SO
strong that no endeavor was made by
Hawes even TO modify the resolu-
tiOnS
The last struggle took place to-day
before the convention, when former
Senator Miller, Of Denver, made a
proposition TO the leading Democrats
who were supporting Folk to have the
delegation divided. When he found
that no such proposition would be en-
tertaired it was dropped.
The following resolutions we're unan-
lmously adopted:
Resolved by the Democratic party
Of Worth county, In convention as
sembled. That we point with justifi-
able pride to the record of the Demo-
cratic party in Missouri during the
past thirty years Of its dministration
OF public affairs. During that time
not one dollar has been lost to the tax
payers by dishonest officials. During
the same period debt OF about forty
million has been paid off; over dozen
State institutions have been erected
and literally maintained.
Our public school system has been
expanded and muniticently supported.
Our public School Fund has been in
creased until it is the equal Of any
State in the Union. Ali these happy
results have been accomplished by a
gradual reduction of the State tax
rate from As cents on the dollar valua-
tion to II cents.
That we indorse the present econo-
mic and business-like Democratic ad-
ministration OF our State; that we are
unalterably opposed to the system of
grating and boodling that has crept
into our State, county and municipal
politics, and we condemn the public
officials who have brought disgrace
upon themselves and our State by
their acts of perfdy, no matter to
what political party they may belong.
That in the fulfilmentof our pledg-
ed opposition to grating and boodling
we hereby offer our unqualified in
dorsement of the candidacy OF that
bold and fearless champion Of law and
order, Joseph w. Folk, whose nomi-
nation is demanded by the honest
yeomanry of our State, and instruct
our delegates to support him in the
Nominating Convention.

UeArmontl ON Folk.

In the Congress OF the United States
at Washington yesterday, Congress
man DE Armond eulogized the De-
mocracy OF Missouri as the Democracy
OF Joseph w. Folk and dwelt upon the
almost unanimous support which the
Democrats Of bis State were giving to
the Prosecutor OF boOdlers.
Judge DE Almond said:
tOver the prairies and woodlands
and broad spreading meadows Of that
State, among yeomanry, a candidate
for the nomination for governor is
sweeping everything before him, is re-
ccivIng support surprising to him and
TO his friends surprising alike TO
friend and TO foe. Why? Because Of
the crisis OF affairs there; because
when st. Louis was reeking with mu-
nlcipal corruption he was the man
placed by chance and fortune in pos
ition 10 prosecute, who pursued the
eyildoer, no matter what or who he was
No matter what influences were be-
bind him, no matter wnat power clus-
tered about him, he pursued and stead
lily prosecuted him impartlally and
proclaimed In deeds which speak much
louder than words, the emphasis OF
which is very much more powerful,
that corruption In office must cease;
that those elected TO discharge public
duties must discharge them with a
fair degree of honesty and efficiency,
and those found corrupt, those who
sought Office and the emoluments of
Office to betray and plunder the people
that they must be hunted across
party lines; that they must be hunted
out Of whatever party they might be-
long to and irrespective of party, and
driven to their homes 10 the peniten-
tiary.

AL COMMITTEE.
WILL KEEP NO RECORD OF EXPENSES
Protected Interests to Put Up the
Money for the National Repub-
lican Campaign Managed
the Same as the Last
Campaign.

WASHINGTON, April 7. = Cornelius
N. Bliss will reman treasurer of the
Republican National Committee on
account OF his familiarity with the
sources OF revenue OF the Republican
campaign funds. President Roose-
velt has consented that the business
management of the coming campaign
be financed just as was the last Nc
KinleY one. The big protected indus
tries are to furnish the money Their
price is continued protection of their
interests.
No one is more competent to gather
this money in than Cornelius N. Bliss,
and no one is more trustworthy In
concealing where the funds come from.
While he is handling the checks
there need no record of the million
dollars which Carnegie, the steel mag
nate, has promised. Senator AldrIch,
OF Rhode Island, the father-in-law Of
John d. Rockefeller, Jr., and the high
priest OF protection In the Senate, will
have very important working part
in the coming campaign. When Pres
ident Roosevelt learned that the head
Of the Standard Oil trust intended to
he very friendly to him, and In most
substantial way he said that he was
willing for Senator Aldrieh to be
chairman of the national committee.
1t was finally decided by the Repub-
lican leader that 1t would be better If
be were given a less conspicuous part.
Senator Aldrich will aid Mr.. Bliss In
"fat frying" and his position in the
Senate makes him very desirable for
the part.
President Roosevelt is fond of say
ing to his callers that "very little
money will be needed for my cam
paign."
AS a matter Of fact, preparations
are being made to use vast quantities.
