ing any ~quadrennial period prior to that
time, because the Democrats had ignored
both the constitution and the statutes in
conducting the public business. They did
not pose as reformers eager to revolution
lie the State and regulate the habits Of
the citizens. Unfortunately for them and
for the people. a Republican was not
elected chief executive, and they began
their duties handicapped by a Democratic
Governor who had obtained enough Re
publican votes to elect him, and who as
sumed command Of the executive depart
ment Of the State government with a fixed
purpose to reform everything and every
body with which the Governors Office has
to do-a Governor who was to seek in new
laws authority for radical changes which
he could not accomplish under existing
laws. while his Republican associate Of
hcers Of the State desired to give vital
force and meaning to the existing laws.

banks; laws which make the trusts give
the people a fair deal; laws which prevent
thieves, like the former asylum treasurer
at Fulton, from running away with the
peoples money; laws which compel cor
porations to observe the terms under
which they were incorporated; laws which
save for the children of the State the
funds provided by the constitution for
their education.
While Folk has stood for the enforce
ment Of certain avs which all good peo-
pie desire to have enforced. or else amend
ed, and by a bold move has made himself
the most conspicuous advocate. of law en-
forcement, these faithful Republican State
officials nave had to content themselves
with every day efforts to change the easy
going and unlawful customs which had
prevailed in their departments under
Democratic control. and to reorganize the
business of these departments. Then they
nave had to remind people almost every
day of what the constitution of the State
requires of the Attorney General. the Sec
rotary of State, the Auditor, the Treas
urer. and other State officers: for while
Democrats view with alarm any departure
from the dear, ti~me-honored constitution
when they write party platforms. they
view such things with complacent appro-
val n a wink of the other eye when
holding a constitutional ONCE.

given an opportunity to satisfy his ambi-
ton to go to Congress.
His Career Brilliant.
Hadley's election in the Republican
landslide of 1904 was as great a surprise
to him as had been his nomination. He
has made the most of his opportunities,
however, at the cost Of his health, until
today he is admitted the only logical can
didate Of his party to make the race.
against tremendous odds, for Governor.
His determination not to jeopardize his
health on the altar OF his ambition leaves
his party leaders. figuratively speaking, in
the mine hole"
Herbert s. Hadley is a native Of Kan
sas. He was born in Olathe, February 20,
1872, and is, therefore. but SO years old.
He@was educated in the University OF
Kansas, Northwestern University. and the
| Chicago Law School. After finishing his
| studies, he came to Missouri, settling in
Kansas City in 1894.
He Immediately began the practice of
law, and 1t was not long before his ability
attracted attention. Four years after go
ing to Kansas City he was made First
| Assistant City Counselor, though then but
26 years old. He held that position until
January 81, 1901, when he resigned to take
up the duties of Prosecuting Attorney, to
which office he had been elected.
AS prosecutor of Kansas City, Hadley
made an enviable record. At various
times HI encounters the cream Of Kan
sas City's legal talent, invariably holdins
his own. A year after he became Prose
cutting Attorney he was married to Miss
Agnes Lee. an accomplished young news
paper woman of Kansas City. They hav'
two children and the family home Is nov
located in Jefferson City.
Recently, before his latest illness. Had
ley was elected president Of the Attorne,

ST. Louis, which the young Missouri of
fetal had called to secure united action @

more clearly define the relation Of State

conspicuous. The Republican State Of
ficials nave been handicapped by a Demo-
cratic Governor, and, as far as has been
possible, have been hindered by a Demo-
cratic legislature. yet they have accom-
plshed reforms which entitle them to more
credit than the press of the State has
given them. They have fulfilled every
promise made in their behalf in the cam
paign Of 1904, and have accomplished for
the people results which had long been
promised but never achieved by the DEM
ocrats.
The Republican party is not set to revo-
lutionize the State. the nation or the, world,
but to secure good government under the
organic laws which the people Of the ma
ton and Of the several States ave
adopted. 1t Is the party of the constitu-
ton. 1t upholds the national constitution,

Mr.. Cowherd claims that he is popular
in jackson ~county-more so than Mr..
Hadley. The people of that county are
their views at the ballot box on the mer-
it's OF both several times.
In 1900 Cowherd got 23.34S votes for
Congress-, a majority of 2,257 over his Re-
publican opponent. and Hadley got 2S,oS4
for pr )secuting attorney. a majority of
2,S7S over his Democratic opponent.
In 1902. an off year, Cowherd got 20,62S
votes for Congress and Hadley 1927 for
prosecuting attorney.
In 1901 Cowherd got 22.s12. while his
Republican opponent got 23,s7S, a majority
of 961, defeating Cowherd. whose strength
with the voters had steadily declined. In
that year Hadley. as a candidate for At
torney General, got 24,360 votes, or 1.01:
more h the highest vote ever given
Cowherd-that which he received in 1906

REAL REFORMS ACCOMPLISHED.
Difference Between Reforms Attempt
ed by Folk and Reforms Accom-
piished by RepubIicans.

Some reform work has been accom-
plished by the Democrat who was elected
four years ago, but genuine re-
formation which was needed in the ad-
m~inistration Of public affairs has been ac-
complished by the Republican State Of
fcials chosen at the same election. 1t
was in the machinery of State government
where abuses and bad management had
reigned for years. that Republican officials
elected In 1904 found reforms most neces-
sary. and where they have accomplished
the best results. In his spectacular reform
work Governor Folk had a Democratic
legislature to assist him and to make his
pretentions as well as his achievement

who voted him into Office thought he would

he was familiar with the party and the
associated with the bold hood
lers who had disgraced the State. Folk
went into office under the banner OF re-
form, and, like most politicians who ride
the reform hobby up the heights to the
golden gate, he hitched on the outside the
horse which carried him TO eminence
and selected a steed OF another temper to
ride about the golden streets of his New
Jerusalem.
The spectacular doings Of the Demo-
cratic Governor detracted attention for the
time from the faithful Republican State

COWHERD AGAINST
FARMERS, DAIRYMEN
POSTAL CLERKS,
MAIL CARRIERS.
RECORD AGAINST WAGE FARMERS
Democratic Nominee for Governor Referred to as an Enemy of
Every Laboring Man in Missouri.

The following resolution was adopted by Engineers Local
Union No. 6 Of Kansas City, Mo, on october I, 1908:
Whereas, William S. Cowherd, during his political career, has
seen fit to align himself with the trusts and corporations, using,
not only his Influence, but his vote in favor of the same, and to
the detriment of the Iaborins people, as cited in the following
Instances:
First. The Rural Free Delivery Bill, favoring as he did the
mail contractors and urging the letting of contracts for the de-
livery of rural mail, and going on record in public addresses that
said work could be done for $4,000 per year las against $4,000
per year as recommended by the billy, a wage insufficient to
maintain a family and supply the necessities Of life, it being
necessary for the rural carrier, under the contract system, I'd
maintain a horse and rig for the work.
Second. Favoring, as he did, the bill introduced by the
trusts for the manufacture of oleomargarlne.
Third. Opposing, as he did, the bill for the Increase in the
wages of postal clerks and carriers.
Fourth. Leaving, as he did, his post of duty In the halls Of
Congress, in the spring campaign of 1904, to come to Kansas City

antiinjunction bill, said communication having been sent him
pursuant to the recommendation of the officers of the American
Federation of Labor, and pursuant to the instructions issued by
the State Convention of said organization.
Therefore, be It resolved, That Engineers Local Union
No. 6, Of Kansas City, Mo, denounce the aforementioned actions
of w. s. cowherd, and urge its members and all iaborina people
of the State of Missouri, to use their best efforts to defeat w. s.

and to the long neglected constitution.
The difference between the attitude Of
the Governor and that Of the Republican
State officials is easy to comprehend. Folk
was elected because he promised to make
war on Democratic State officials, law
makers and political ringsters who had
used public Office as a means Of graft.
The people thought he would do that be-
cause he had convicted some b6odlers in
st. Lou who had long been stealing and
