We do not believe there is Z
a man in the state. whatever
may be his politics, who per-.
sonally knows Sam Cook, who
does not like him He is known
as a fighting Democrat who
never turns his back upon the
enemy, or ever deals unfairly
with friend or foe. No man In
the state has more true, loyal,
never-give-up friends than Sam
Cook We have known him for
many years and admire him for
his loyal democracy and for his
open, honest, fair and square
dealing with every man with
whom he comes in contact He
has passed through stormy po-
litical times in the interest of
his party and has fought so
valiently and effectively in
democracy's interest as to in
cur the bitter political enmity
of republican opponentss and
yet holds their personal friend
ship and admiration. No man
in the party has furnished more
| effective available and much
used democratic ammunition
than he.
AS Secretary of State he has
been the peer of any. His
prompt decisions upon every
question presented to him in his
official capacity have rendered
him popular with the business
world and has secured their i'm
plicit confidence in his honesty
of purpose and good judgment.
We arc for Sam Cook because
we know him; because we like
him personally and because of
bis answering democracy and
service to the party. His nom
ination is as certain as that
Democrats will be sent to the
| Democratic State Convention

THE TRUTH
About the Origin of the Great LOuiSi.
ana Purchase Exposition.

tury was planned, at first, as much
more modest thing. 1t arose through
a suggestion made to the people of
St. Louis in 1898 by the Missouri His
torical Society for some fitting cele-
bration of the centennial of the sale,
on April 20, 1903, by Napoleon Bona
parte to Thomas Jefferson of the
country west of the Mississippi River,
the land known in history as the
Louisiana Purchase and now divided
into fourteen States and Terrific ries,
Arkansas, Colorado, Wyoming,
South Dakota and North Dakota,
Iowa, Indiana Terri .ory, Minnesota,
Kansas, Louisiana, Nebraska, Mon
tana, Missouri and Oklahoma.
The idea took deep root; the Busi-
ness Mems League, with its tar-re ach-
ing commercial influence, assumed re-
sponsibility for the movement; the en-
thusiasm Of the States and Terri tories
in the Purchase was aroused; nation
al encouragement was got. 1t was
decided that the Purchase should be
commemorated by worlds fair.
In the above article by Will
liam Flewellyn Saunders, in the
American Monthly Review of
Reviews for May, he gives the
Missouri Historical Society
credit to which it is not entitled.
In February, 1890, Congress
authorized the holding of the
Worlds Colum Dian Expos ition
and designated Chicago as the
place. This action was a grave
disappointment to W. j Rouse,
who was enthusiastic in his de-
sire for the Worlds Columb ian
Exposition to be held in st.
Louis. After recovery from the
shattering of these hopes, he
originated the idea of celebrat-
ing the one hundredth auniver-
sary of the Louisiana Purchase
in 1903, and soon after began
advocating in the Buckliu Her.

Purchase exposition in st.

he continued to advocate the
holding of such an exposition,
until he sold out in 1894 and

GRAFT, III which paper he persist

Many Of the papers of Mis-
souri, commented favorably, d

Feeling that it was time for
the press OF Missouri tU take uE
the work, if anything was to be

Committee on Resolution of the

1898, d resolution endorsing tht
