Mr.. NAGLE's VIEWS

Charles Nagle prominent republican OF
st. Louis was introduced to the President
today by Secretary Hitchcock. Both Sec
retary Hitchcock and Mr.. Nagle said that
the republicans were anything else but
hopeless in Missouri.
1.-THE republicans have never had a bet
ter fighting chance in Missouri" said Mr..
Nagle to a representative Of The Star. than
they have this year. 1t Is not true, as pub
lished in democratic papers. that the repub-
.licans of Missouri will not put up any ticket
this fall and will indorse the candidacy OF
Joseph Folk, who will be the democratic
nominee for governor. The republicans will
put up their own ticket and their own plat
form, as they have done in years past and
will make a vigorous. lively fight. with hope
of success. The honest people of the state
are disgusted with democratic rule and they
are convinced that it is only through repub-
lican success that they can hope for reilef
from the intolerabie condltiohs enat nase
existed so long and which are likely 10
