the Republicans are more to blame
than their opponents, the latter
may be expected 10 take tie advan-

the Republican organization and
carry Off the Offices in the face Of q

fact, thcl efore, that the result of

the Republicans has resulted in q

betrayed that an alleged co:nbinc

be no other net result Of such con

the comuIete and early loss of the
county to that party. 1t is not
our province to lecture Republic

duty and our privilege TO present
the facts to them rs they unten

unity of sentiment by which it was
dominated when ii was the minor

also confidence in itself. Let u-
have an awakening Of Republican

While it may be true that if
Folk is nominated by the Demo-
Gratis large number of Republi-
cans would vote for him because
of the idea he is supposed to re-
present, it would be foolish for
them to do SO. They should bear
in mind that this idea was first
promulgated in Missouri by the
Republican papers, and until Mr..
Folk, as a Democrat, undertook
to advance it in that party, Demo
Gratis called it "slandering Mis-
souri," The reform movement
originated in the Republican
country press and was advanced
by the metropolitan organs. The
climax came with the exposure OF
the baking powder trusts corrup
ton Of high state officials, when il
was forced upon portion of th'
Democratic party that the Repub
licans had made real issue ant
would carry the state upon it I'm
less they were forestalled. Th'
true spirit of reform in this state
lies in the Republican party. tn
