There has probably never been held
a more harmonious or shorter session
Of the Democratic Executive Commit
tee of Maury county than that held at
the court house SATURDAY.. The
committee met at II o'clock and with
in thirty minutes thereafter Bryan
had been endorsed for President, TWEEN
ty-one delegates and alternates had
been appointed to attend the State
Democratic convention on June II
and the committee had adjourned.
There was no opposition to any of
the proceedings of the Committee
The friends of Mr.. Carmack were in
such an overwhelming majority that
nothing was suggested by the other
side and the entire delegation is COM
posed of supporters of the former Sen
ator, but the committee in strict com
pliance with the agreement of the
state campaign managers made no ref
erence whatever to the Gubernatorial
fight.
This was the first time perhaps in
the history of the State where the
committee in this county appointed
the delegates to the state committee,
Heretofore the people have held
convention for this purpose, but under
the resolutions of the State Commit
tee, adopted at the dictation of Gov.
Patterson, this duty devolved upon the
county committee.
The committee was called to order
at II o'clock in the Chancery Court
room by Chairman Ramon. The roll
was called by Secretary Smiser and
every district was represented.
Mr.. Smiser offered a resolution that
the Chair appoint subcommittee to
select delegates to the Stete ConTen
ton ON June II. The resolution was
unanimously adopted. The Chairman
appointed the following as the sub
committee to recommend the dele
gates: James A. Smiser, Chairman;
John c. Nelson and John S. Brown.
The committee then took a recess
of fifteen minutes to await the report
of the subcommittee.
The recess of fifteen minutes having
expired the committee was called to
order and Chairman Smiser of the
committee on delegates made the fol
lowing report:

A TARIFF sufficient to stimulate
the production of lead and zinc
will be worth millions to Missouri.
OF course Democratic congressman
will oppose it. All progress in the
material development of Missouri
has been made with the help of
Republican congressman from
other states-Congressmen who
believe in protecting American in
dustries. Our Democratic Mis-
souri, congressman have never
been in line with industrial pro-
lection, hence they have been, and

Conditions Have Changed.

Missouri is just entering upon an
era of material prosperity which
ought to have begun years ago.
With the resources of an empire
within the confines of a state, las
Horace Greedy said many years
ago), Missouri ought to be the
richest and most populous COM
monwealth west of the Allegheny
mountains. 1t has been hamper
ed by political conditions, re-
tarded by lack of transportation
facilities, and placed in an unfair
light before the capital of the
country by legislation suggested
by a class of politicians who sub
stitute prejudice for wisdom, and
who forgetsthar their Estate sis a
part of a great country instead of
an independent piece of geogra-
ply to be ruled by one political
party.
There has been a radical change
in the conditions affecting thespro-
gress and development of Grand
Old Missouri. Bourbon Demo-
Gratis are no longer omnipotent in
state politics. They can no longer
dominate the policy Of the people
or stand in the way of their adj
vancement. They are in the rear
of the procession now. Four years
ago the republicans swept the
state and demonstrated the fact
that the long dominant democracy
The Montgomery tribune. (Montgomery City, Mo.) 1892-1910, 1908-12-11

was not impregnably entrenched;
that public opinion had condemn
ed what had long been condoned,
and that the people were ready for
something better than a decadent
democracy had accomplished or
proposed. The spell under which
the people had quietly lived for
more than thirty years was broken
and there was an instant demand
for better conditions.
This year the people have
moved forward another step by
electing a sraiwaTt young republic
can Governor and by defeating
the aroused democracy again.
They made the cold Guard" or
Bourbon democrats fight as they
had eve fought before, and
taught them that state policies and
state politics must be place on q
higher plane.
Missouri is now going forward,
Whether republicans or demo-
Gratis rule, there must be advance
ment. Progressive democrats
would have their party take the
lead, and they will try to reorgan-
