Handouts for Democrats.

Following the example in Calla-
way county, Il convention in New
Madrid county has adopted the
resolution: "Wc repudiatc the
Democracy of any man alrogatlng
to himself the privilege of striking
the name Of suy candidate from
the ticket selected by the party"
The constitution and laws of Mis-
souri, provide for Il discriminating
vote of that kind to the amplest
extent, with facilities for its cxcr-
else as Il matter of course. The
constitution of Missouri declares
that "alI elections shall be free and
and open: and no power, civil OF
military, shall at any time inter
ferc to prevent the free exercise OF
the right of suffrage. The Dem
ocyatic party, or rather the ring
cunning II, can not CONSTITUTIONAL,
enforce any rule to ''prevent the
| free exercise Of the right of sntf
rage" The state constitution also
provides that ''all elections by the
people shall be by ballot" A bal
lot means an act performed indie
pendcntly by one individual. Tho
statutes of Missouri provide tina
"anv person who designedly give
a printed or written ticket to an,
qualified voter Of this state, con
tanning the written Or printed
names of persons for whom sal,
voter does not design to vote, TO

Wonders of Our New Rifle.

When the new Springfield rifle

the rifle in water so that some of
its parts might rust, and also

Too many Of the leading Repuh-
/. iicans in ST. Louis are too deeply
concerned in the welfare and profit
Of the "communlty or interest" in
that city for the good of the Re
publican party This community
of interee! business, after certain
prDninen, individuals have worked
il to their personal profit and nd
vantage usna|IypIays into the nunls
Of the Democrats. Kep"hljcans in
this state have for years been
handicapped by reason of election
law, operative in It. Louis, which
enable the Democrats t, acquire
majority Of tie votes for any
purpose needed. Some of the Re
publican leaders in the city are
satisfied to let these laws operate
against the party at general clcc =
tions that they may be used also in
iamming through the ballot box
any proposition i'll which the pco-
pie are supp oscd to have the de-
cilinr voice. but which for the
profit of the "communlty of inter
est must bo adopted regardless Of
public opinion. Thus the same
law which Is worked for the bcnc-
tit Of certain selfish interests also
works against the people in gcner
al, rs is shown IN the vote ground
ont in the city for the adoption of
the school fund amendment after
the voters in the state at large had
cast 4 decisive vote against it. The
Republican party in thi. state is
kindered by this spirit Of selfish
ness. \ few gain profit at the cx-
pense Of the party in general. If
the Republican leaders in St. Louis
would shake loose from the com
munily of interest incubus and be
come ip,is.cnt for fair treatment
of the party in the matter Of lawt
governing elections the party
prospects Of success would be
greatly improved.
