Jefferson City, Feb. 29.-Under the
provision OF an act of the last legis.

over the graves Of former State Gov

for three monuments to the Aber-

buried in Lebanon.

If Mr.. Folk is defeatedior the nom
intion, the Kansas City Star and
Globe Democrat viii be largely to
blame. Missouri Democrats have
long learned to look with suspicion
upon men and measures these papers
advocate. In the case of Mr.. Folk
neither Of these papers sincerely de-
sire his nomination and they realize
that their advocacy OF him lessons
his chances with Democrats. 1t is
becoming apparent to the conserv-
alive thinking men OF the party that
that is the condition and they are
not disposed to assist In the process
of grinding Mr.. Folk between two
mill stones. While the Democratic
party cannot afford tohave its nom
inees named by those papers, neither
can it afford to do injustice to a
worthy candidate because those inhu
ences seek his undoing by ostensible
support Of him. II MIR, Folk is NOM
mated neither OF these organs will
support him. No sane Democrat
who has followed the trend of affairs
in Missouri, believe they will. But
many conservative Republicans over
the state who have great admiration
for Mr., Folks splendid work and
honestly desire his promotion, will
give him their votes. II Mr.. Folk is
nominated he will be elected by the
usual Democratic majority. The
same can be said of either Of the 9th.
or candidates.
