deleSatlons from st. Louis county were

Fol- a moment it appeared that uney.
pected ginger would be injected into the
proceedings of the resolutions committee.
shannon, of Kansas City, wanted to know
II the resolution as then proposed in its
Endorsement of the state administration
also Endorsed state control of the cltv
police. NtS
j. w. Farris seemed inclined to support
some expression c~ondemning state con-
troll, but Chairman David held that s,1ch
questions should go over to the Jefferson
City convention.
One member of the committee wanted
the supreme court reference more specific
that it indorse that bndv ng ~
now exists" Change of the terbiape was
hot coufseled by a majority, and the reso-
lutlon, as originally drafted passed the
went before and was adopted
the convention.
The Resolutions.
The resolutions in full follow:
- inTar nllr
tnent no department can be more impor-
laht nj the judicial department, if in
deed that department does not outrank
az others. This is true because the ju-
uie,ary interprets the constitution, con-
strues statutes and deals directly and
dally with both the personal and prop-
erty rights of the citizens.
Upon the calm, considerate Judgment. |
MiSoom ana patriotism of an able and up
right judiciary, more than anything else,
uependS not only the protection of the IN
citizen in the enjoyment of life,
lperty and the pursuit of happiness, but
pubilc safety Itself. It is the sworn
ana solemn duty of the Judiciary to guard
very man, rich or poor, great or num-
pie, against the deprivation of any right
10 which he may be entitled as a citizen,
ne forms of law.
Any attempt. therefore, without Just,
and certain cause, to DESTROY or
impair public respect for, and confidence
~ tlo JUDICIARY Oh StaL6 or nation should |
De u~nSparingly condemned.
.F1rin in this belief, and actuated by
MS spirit, we, the representatives of the
MISSOURI democracy assembled in conven-
lon for the purpose of nominating a
udSe or the supreme court, proclaim our
1fide in the splendid record made by
ne judiciary of our state throughout the
Of the commonwealth, and hereby
Express, IN unequivocal terms, our COM
olete and mistaken confidence i'll the
earning, honor and integrity of the. SUI
court OF the state.
RESOLVED, further, That all other mat

ION, OF which Gov. A. M. Dockery is the

airs pc RENTED to the consideration of
