CONCERNING ELECTIONS.

That there has been complaint of
primary methods in four wards in St.
Louis is unquestionably true. 1t is
equally true that two of those wards
gave majorities for me, and two OF
them gave practically equal majorities
for my leading opponent.
1t is well for the Democracy to re
member that no man upon this ticket
owes his nomination to a majority re-
ceived in St. Louis, and speaking for
myself. | call attention here to the
fact that l carried every residence
ward in that city, and in these there
has been no question as to the fair
ness Of the vote or count, and in adj
dition to the two wards above men

which the great breweries are located
and in which their operatives live.
1t is well, also, to remember that il

DrsGRAcEFUL CHAPTER OF MIS-
souri, HISTORY.


But the summit OF political %effront-
cry is reached when the Republican
party in Missouri talks Of purity in
elections. This is the party that stole
the presidency, and sought to perpet-
uate its rule with a force bill This
is the same old party that when it
controlled the politics of Missouri
never permitted a Democratic judge
or clerk to enter an election booth,
This is the party that DISTINGUISHED
thousands Of loyal citizens in Mis-
souri,; that drove Gen. Francis f.
Blair from the polls; that made the
test Of citizenship an oath which the
Supreme Court OF the United States
said was beyond precedent in its
severity" and wiped from the stat
ute books by judicial decree This IS
the party that burnt the ballots when
Democrats we're elected, and gave the
certificates to their Republican opponents
This is the party that robbed that
gallant hero Of two wars, and Senator
from three states, Gen. James Shields

ferent parties, they will consider the
principles for which they stand, and
with that intelligent conservatism that
is the distinguishing characteristic of
the Missourian, they will reach a just
and a patriotic conclusion.
FALSE CLAIMS OF REPUBLICANS.
With its accustomed effrontery, the
Republican party has put forth a plat
form in which it claims for its various
nominees unbounded credit for results
brought about by Democratic laws. In
the light of this bombastic document,
it is well to review the conduct Of Re
publican officials when they controlled
these same offices, unhampered by the
restraining influence Of Democratic
legislation.
When Republicans controlled the
State, the Treasurer deposited the
States funds with his friends, and the
interest received thereon was a fat
perquisite that went to his W pocket.
A Democratic legislature now compels
this money to be let to the highest
bidder by competitive bids, requiring
! such bidder to furnish to the State
ample security for the money deposited
with him, and it was because of the
operation Of this Democratic law, the
Treasurer received the interest for
which he is complimented in his partys
: platform.
I DEMOCRATS MADE LARGE INTEREST
POSSIBLE.
AS the State grows in wealth and
IS population, each succeeding Treasurer
st will probably collect in interest more
d than his predecessor, but the present
Treasurer has been fortunate in this
N that a Democratic Auditor, aided by q
$ Democratic United States Senator, col

surance fund was by an oversight lief
he for two years undistributed, thus add
IS ing to the fund on which interest wa
he drawn. 1t is well, too, in order to shoy
as the distinction between Republican an
it Democratic methods, to remember tina
cir for many years the Democratic part
ill has sought to compel the general gov
ng eminent to follow a similar method !

i lican party, and the Secretary of ii

The Democratic State campaign was
formally opened here today by public
speaking, marching clubs, bands, hre
works and a demonstration never be-

trains brought citizens and Democratic
clubs from a hundred miles around,
and the streets have been crowded with

Hon. William S. Cowherd, the
Democratic nominee for Governor, re-
ceived a magnificent ovation as he de-
livered the formal opening speech OF
the campaign that will be waged with
great vigor by the Democrats from now

Wisconsin Woman Annoys Roosevelt.

Was hington, b. c., June s. Ex-
planning that she was suffering from
a 'meddlesome undercurrent" of
which President Roosevelt could rid
hers Miss Kate Jackley journed here
from Potosi, Wis to ask the presi-
dents assistance. She is now in
the house of detention and papers
are being made out for her commit
ment to the government hospital
for the insane.
Upon her arrival III Washington
about two months ago, Miss Jackley
made an effort to see the president.
She soon learned that this was
rather difficult.
After waiting for some time, she
wrote him, stating her trouble and
her request that he exercise the
''undercurrent." She was directed
to the chief of police and that Of
fetal was notified. She appeared
today and told her trouble to de-
tectives. Without objection she en-
tered a cab and was taken to the
house of detention, where she was
examined as to her mental condi-
ton.
Miss Jackley says she is dress
maker and is about so years old
