BRYAN OPPOSES
WARD TACTICS.'
Declares That Fraud at Primaries
Demands Rebuke From the
Candidate Himself.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Lincoln, Neb, March 11.-Under the
heading of Missouri Politics." Mr.. Bryan
says IN the Commoner:
THE reports that come from Missouri!
indicate that the friends of some of the
gubernatorial candidates are more inter-
ested in securing the nomination of their
choice than they are in advancing the
welfare of the p:rty.
ut looks to the outsider as if person
alities were entering too much into the
controversy When partisans carry their
championship of a candidate to the point
of rnfairness in conventions or fraud in
primaries they deserve rebuke from the
candidate. himself.
There are ii great many good Demo-
Gratis in Missouri. so many that no one of
them can delude himself with the belief
that his nomination IS so important as to
justify the employment of illegitimate
methods to secure 1t. There is no better
brand Of Democracy than the Missouri
brand. and members of the party should
see to It that the State Convention does
not countenance ward tactics"

EFFORT PROVED A FAILURE.
Plan to Change Method of Primary
in Cape Girardcau County Defeated.


REPUBLIC SPECIAL .F.i71 -.
Jackson, Mo, March 17.-Since the meet
ing Of the Cape Girardeau County Demo-
cratic Central. Committee on February %,
the opposition, to Joseph W.. Folk. for
Governor has been working hard to create
sentiment against the Democrats of this
county in favor of changing the commit
tees resolution for a primary election.
This effort of the anti-Folk leaders cul-
minated to-day in their complete defeat.
The primary resolution adopted Fcbru-
airy -. provides that the names of dele
gates to the State nominating convention
shall appear o. the ballot designated as
Folk deIegates.'' Halves delegates and
SO on through the list of candidates for
Governor. Names of candidates for other
State offices Will not appear on the bal
lot. Thus the result of the primary will
be to instruct the delegates for Governor
only, leaving them free To use their judg-
ment as to candidates for other State Of
fees. The anti-Folk leaders haze made
strenuous objection to this feature Chair
man Peterman having refused to call
another committee meeting 3.
To-day it developed that without the
knowieoge of the chairman, and unknown
to the public. the anti-Folk leaders had
summoned the committeeman supposed to
be opposed to the resolution to meet
here to-day to reconsider the primary res
oiution. The anti-Folk men thought TO
amend TIE primary resolution to-day TO
suit their wishes, but the effort was a
failure.
