campaign. From that department
went out a million or more circular
letters, mailed directly to voters :;
more than a million little leaflets and

thirty typewriter, and two special
letter presses were in constant use,
often from early morning to midnight.
AT times the large room occupied by
this bureau was crowded with pretty
young ladies' folding letters, address
ing envelopes, indexing addresses
and compiling reports. 1t was a
busy place for six weeks, and was
only stopped whcn. the telephone in

Supplement Morgan County Republican, Thursday, November H. 1908.

The Republican victory in Missouri
in 1904 was regarded as an accident
by the Democrats. They argued that
a full Democratic vote was not polled
that with Bryan as their nominee they
would have swept the State.
This year they had Bryan as their
nominee for president. and the two
chicitains Of the State Democracy in
a race for the senatorial nomination.,
thus lining up their partisans and
bringing to the front practically every
vote they have in the State. vet they
are again defeated. losing the govern
orshlp and the machinery OF State
government, besides suffering defeat
IN Congressional and representative
districts which they confidently ex-
pcctcd TO carry. The rcsul, proves
conclnsivcly that the Republican
party is equal In strength
with the Democratic party In
this State, if it is not in the ina
jority.
Contributing to the success achicy-
ed by the Republicans November 3.

years ago, an aroused public scnti-
mcnt against the element TT the De-
mocracy which led in the campaign,
and Il well planned, practical and ably
conducted fight on the part OF the
Republican State Chairman.
The record OF faithful public SER
vice by Republican officials and the
public sentiment against the Old
Guard Democracy might have been
offset by the appeals and arguments
OF the Democratic leaders had there
been weak management on the Re-
publican side. The one vital force
needed by the Republicans was able
and determined leadership. 1t was
supplied by Walter ). Dlckcy.
Long before the campaign opened.
Mr.. hickey, as Chairman OF the old
State Committee, began organizing
the forces necessary to victory. and by
the time the State Convention was
held IN Jefferson City early in Sep
TENDER he had the campaign planned
and cv rythIng in readiness to begin
the work OF organizing and e~nthusing
the party voters. Spacious headquar-
tiers had been opened in the Holland
building. the several departments of
work arranged and his chief assistants
selected. While all of these
mcnts were tentative it was not hard

very victory over which Re-
pubIiCdnS are now rejoicing.

He set about the task feeling that
Missouri could be Oh by his party
and that it would be. There was
no problem to be solved. There was
simply hard work to be dOnc--to be
done well and to be done promptly.
Being Il business man Of the best
type Mr.. Dickcy undertook to man
age the great campaign just as he
manages his vast business interests.
He divided the work into depart
mcnts with IA chief over each, and
determined in advance how much
money should be used for the normal
expenses OF each department. Then
he opened an account with each de-
partment SO that all bills and all
checks on the treasury could be prop
crly charged. There was organized
system, well defined limitations, me-

cr's bureau handled all matters rclat-
ing to public meetings. the assign
mcnt and expenses OF speakers, their

and reports Of their work. Charles
ID. Morris, OF the St. Joseph Gazette,
had charge OF the speakers bureau.
He assigned more than one hundred
speakers and arranged more than one
thousand meetings for them, besides
furnishing speakers for special occas-
ions, and arranging the details of
the trips of TAFT and Of Cannon and
OF other national speakers through the
State. His correspondence by mail
and by wire was extensive, requiring
the assistance of two stenographers at
all times and occasionally the aid OF
others.

Takes Drink With Willy
Track Acquaintance

After taking a single drink with
stranger in the bar at the Emeryville
racetrack on Saturday. Joseph Powers,
a grocer at Precita avenue and Fol-
som street, according to a story which
he told the police yesterday, was robbed
of $500 that he had won on the races
Powers met the stranger during the
intermission between two of the races
The two exchanged tips and finally
agreed to bet an equal amount on the
horses selected by each. The horse
picked by the stranger won and Powers
cashed in for s400. He had already
won $3.50 and through fear of losing
his fortune declined to take drink
with his new found friend after the
races were over. The latter insisted.
Powers. according to his. own tale,
drank a glass of sarsapariila.
After that he remembers nothing
until he was found many hours later
lying face downward at Eleventh and
Webster streets. Oakland, all his money
gone. and his pockets inside out.
Next morning Powers was brought
home by a friend, desperately i'll. Aft
er day in bed he was able to get
out Yesterday and his first act was to
report the matter to the police.
Powers denied that he is a drinking
man and insisted that the single drink
of sarsaparilla had been responsible for
his condition. He is a regular visitor
at the races, and until Saturday
boasted that he was too we'll ac-
quainted with the track pitfalls to be
made a victim of the sharpers.
He had been winning regularly all
week, he said, and had $500 in his pos
session when robbed. Powers described
the stranger as a we'll dressed, smooth
speaking fellow about 80 years old.
