Comment From Democrat
ic Headquarters.


Taft's name is at the head Of
the ticket, but Mr.. Roosevelt
seems to think that he is the real
candidate.
Several years ago . few Demo-
,crats left the party and voted the
Republican ticket on account OF
the low price of wool. How will
the wool raisers vote this yearP
-
Hadley says he has saved the
people of Missouri $500, 100000 a
year by reducing insurance rates.
Have you, dear reader, gotten
your share of the reduetionS
Hadley is q poser. Cowherd is
a worker. Hadley is abosster.
Cowherd permits his record to
speak for him. Hadley is q Kan
san. Cowherd is a Missourian.
Take your choice, yotersof Mis-
souri,.
Cowherd win be elected gov
,ernor of Missouri by majority
of 10000, of which 5000 will be
contributed by jackson county,
where he was born and has lived
all his life-and that, too, in spite
of the close vote in that county.
Hadley went to the national
convention as q delegate for his
party His alternate was . ne
gro, and the latter occupied Had
ley's seat every time it was tenn
porarily vacated and he cast Mr..
Hadley's vote. How does that
appeal to Missourianss.
The Republicans are fighting
among themselves in Missouri.
Enemiss Of Senator Warner are
charged with having tried to
keep that geptlenan out OF the
present campaign. His friends
are ''kicking" over this slight to
the old veteran. Let them fight;
it will only add to the stay at
home vote.
tits still being asserted that
Teddy will stump for Taft. He
has found out that his putty man
cannot stand up and make a
real campaign speech and thinks
that no other G. o. P. man is
equal to the task but himself.
The Democrats will hail with Joy
the day that Teddy and his big
stick undertake their campaign
stunt.
Roosevelt named the postmas-
ters. Roosevelt commanded the
,pestmasters to nominate Taft.
Roosevelt wrote the platform.
Roosevelt dictated the personnel
of the campaign managers.
When they did not run the Gam
paisn to suit Roosevelt, he de-
.capitated Hitchcock and put
Crane in charge. Roosevelt has
disguised his party and has in
sured Bryan's election.

The difference in the two
parties is depicted ip the sena-
torial contest. Mr.. Kerens, by
the lavish use Of the contents Of
his ''harrel,n viii buy the Repub-
lican nomination, even though 1t
avails him nothing. The Demo.
cratic candidates are out on khe
stump presenting their claims to
the masses OF the party and will
not use q dollar for the purchase
OF that distinguished honor.

The religious beliefs Of q can-
iidate need not necessarily be
made . test Of his fitness for Of
hce. But, az between msn who
denies the divinity Of the Savior
and one who is . firm believer IN
