Mexico Missouri message., 1905-01-19

]
composed of first Mr.. Folk, then
| Mrs. Folk, Ex-Governor Dockery,
Mr.. Bryan and Mrs. Bryan. For
several thousand persons, it was
The first opportunity to see Mrs.
Folk. The wife of Missouri's fam
ous governor is not pretty, but
she is good to look at and seems
little more than II girl in years.
Mrs. Bryan is also Il cOmely wO-
man with that amplitude of figure,
full of graceful curves, which men
admire so much. Her face is that
of decidedly uncommon woman.
Mr.. Bryan is beginning to show
the effect of his strenuous life. He
looks tired.

\ delegation from the notorious
Jefferson Club was very much in
evidence at the capitol Monday
night. 1t is needless to say that
the delegation got drunk. Drunk
is Il mild word to apply to their
hilarity. They were cultivating
a jag of monstrOus proportions.
Charles Lemp, the brewer, who,
by the way, looks more like a pro-
{ fessor of Greek in a theological
school than a politician, was ubi-
/. Quitous and saw that no man went
, to bed thirsty. One refrain echoed
2 all over Jefferson City:
Beer, beer, we want more heer,
Beer, beer, we want Falstaff beer"
These two lines of drunken dog.
erel were sung to the tune Of my
Country, IT'S of Thee" Try il
yourself, and in singing hold the
: first syllable Of Fnlstaff, aud you
will see how easily the noble ali
can be adapted to trash. Political
&c criticism has it that this is the last
: kick of the jefferson Club. One
thing is certain, one seldom has
an opportunity to see such a ganG
l. of depraved rowdies and puguglie'
? us the jefferson Club brought tt
n Jefferson City. No wonder tina
is such nefariOus gang of scOun
n drels helped to break the back O
