The Democratic filing of
delegations revealed the fact
that IN more than half the
wards Of ST. Louis there will
b. bitter fights between the
Democratic. factions ut the
coming primaries. On one
side are Folk aud his follow
ing, including the Butterflies.
Opposed are the Anli.Folkites
who include all those who
look upon Folk as insincere
and selishly ambitions.
So bitter is the feeling he.
tween the factions that il is
said defeat of the party will
be welcomed by eitherlfaction
rather than that either fac.
ton should win out.
From the country come re-
ports Of splits and diSsen.
sions. In some cases the
Anti-folkites threaten To over.
throw places that have for
years been looked upon as
DemucraliI str0ngholds. The
leaders are admitting that de-
feat is in the air unless some
thing akin to miracle takes
place.
This general disruption
makes practically certain the
defeat of the Democratic par
ty of Missouri next election,
and furnishes the Republi-
cans the opportunity to make
permanent their conquest of
the state. If proper work is
done between the present and
the election thousands of
votes can he rounded up for
Republicanism. Not only can
the Indifferent be quickened
but many Democrats disgust.
