its marvellous past. Therefore, we this
day triumphantiy-aye, acknowledgements
lhe truth OF history, knowing full well
what the inevitable answer Will be.
AS the sun shines upon the lust and
the unjust, so Missouri has prospered un-
der these republican policies with the rest
OF the union. But it was in spite of her
state administration. which for more
imam thirty years has had an uninvesti-
gated monopoly of the books. Who to-
DAY can measure the benefits of a change
OF party control; who can calculate the
blessings to accrue to her people if the
policies OF the state government should
be brought in harmony with those of the
national government, and of the progress
slVe commonwealths of the north and
west?
1T has been said that immigration
would be attracted. capital invited and
the price of every foot of land enhanced,
put VINO can foretell the whole story of
progress and material advantage to be
related after a period of republican rule
in Missouri?
We challenge comparisons between the
national standard bearers and the nation
al platforms of the two parties. The dem
ocratic platform is silent on the money
question a sign of returning sanity, but
evidence of a lack of courage and candor
to acknowledge the errors of their ways.
And the standard bearers, the one re-
pudiating the platform of his party and
running on a Western Union telegram,
me other a. platform In himself, one in
thought and ideas with great leaders Of
his party, past and present. On the other
hand, Parker, who has never expressed
an opinion on any living issue and of
whom his most intimate friends and po-
lltlcal managers admitted that he did rot
know his views on the tinancia question.
On the other hand, that peerless leader,
theodore Roosevelt, who in the short
time of his administrator has courage

equivocal, a record truly American, on
every question which confronted him; a
leader, bold, manly and energetic, who has
forced capital and labor, the mighty and
the lowly alike. to bow to the majesty of
the law, and thus newly strengthened the
confidence of the nation in a government

IF the Missourians will do their duty
the electoral vote of our great state will
be cast for Theodore Roosevelt. Will they

and Blaine and Hanna and all our mighty
dead are looking upon us from their place

same fervent appeal, Our country expects
every man to do his duty And under
God that duty shall be done.

vention decided to refer to the COM
mittee on resolutions any resolution
which might be offered in the conven-

An invitation was extended to the
