whose sincerity purpose to enforce
the law there is any question.
Ii is true to certain extent that the
successful enforcement of the law de-
ponds upon public sentiment. Twenty
years ago, or even ten years ago, it
would have been very difficult to have
closed the saloons in the great cities
on Sunday. They are closed today
and ought to be kept closed, and if
am elected Governor. they will be.
| believe in a strict regulation of the
liquor traffic, and the laws regulating
the saloon ought to be strictly enforced.
The states that have made decided
progress along temperance lines have
not been the prohibition states like
Kansas and Maine, but the local option
states like Texas, Mississippi, Tennes-
see and Missouri.
The present local option law has
worked very satisfactorily in Missouri.
1t is a Democratic law, passed by a
Democratic legislature, signed by a
Democratic Governor, and it follows
Democratic principles. 1t gives TO the
local community the right to regulate
its own affairs. If the majority of the
voters of that community desire pro-
hibition they can have it. and il the
majority desire the licensed saloon they
can have that, but no community can
force its own views upon another. This
is good Democratic doctrine"

LIRERALITY TOWARDS THE uNFoR-
TUNATE.

Under Democratic rule, the eleemosy-
nary institutions of the State have like
wise grown with the public demand.
Four great asylumS, equipped accord
ing to the best modern scientific
knowledge. furnish hospitals for those
mentally afflicted and homes for the
incurably insane. A school for the
feeble minded has been founded, where,
by careful training and special atten-
ton. many OF those unformnates who
otherwise would be a charge upon the
community are prepared to take their
places in the various walks of life Re-
form schools for both boys and girls
have been provided, that the youthful
offender. for whom there is still hope
may not be confined with the hardened
criminal The penitentiary, under Re-
publican rule charge upon the tax
payer OF the State, has been made prac-
tically self-supporting.
Not only has democracy built up
these great institutions. but the inter
estS of the people have been fostered
by wise and bcneiicent laws passed
under Democratic administrations.

WHAT HADLEY AND DICKEY SAY.

A few months later, in an open letter
to Mr.. w. S. Dickey, published May
I4th, 1908, in the Kansas City Journal,
MIR. Hadley likewise defined his posi-
ton, a part of which | quote:
81 am not in favor of statewide
prohibition. | do not believe the cause
of temperance or good government
would be subserved by the adoption OF
such an amendment in this State"
He then declares for local option,
and conclusively says;
Il also believe that the laws regulat-
ing dramshops and the sale Of intoxi-
eating liquors should be vigorously and
strictly enforced
Mr.. Hadlcy does not specifically en-
dorsc Sunday closing of the saloons,
but he does say the laws regulating the

through the channels of trade. This can
only be done when the depositor has
confidence in the soundnesS of his bank.
Panic is the specter that haunts the
waking hours of every business man.

tated by the small depositor losing COM
hdence in the security of his place of

he rushes to withdraw his money, and
we are brought face to face with all
the evils of suddenly restricted cur
rency. To remedy this, the Republican
party offers the emergency currency bill
of the last Congress, which permits
national banks to issue currency based
only on their assets, and gives to the
government a first lien on those assets
to redeem the currency.
Under this plan every issue of adj
ditional currency by a bank exhausts its
assets, and tends rather to excite than
allay the fear of the depositor, so the
effort of the bank to meet pressing
need only increases the demand upon its
strained resources. The postal savings
bank will give security to deposits, but
il purchases this relief at the expense
of putting the government into the
banking business and the individual
out; and the funds gathered by the
government in these postal banks will,
if present Republican policies are con-
tinued, be concentrated in central
places of deposit, and in the end go to
swell the volume of Wall street specu-
lation.

HOME RULE THE CITIES.

The problem OF the cities is always
with us, 1t is the serious and unsolvcd
problem OF The age, IN those CUTrTHuHr=
ties where men are crowded together,
and lie so frequently depends on the
DAYS work, government presents CON
ditions unknown to the irccr life OF the
country districts.
From the city government has come
the boss. a product of modern times,
and the most difficult character that
conironts the statesman dealing with
an electorate based on universal SUI
frare. The Republican platform an
nounccs it favors the principle of home
rule for the cities, and possibly former
Democratic platforms have made SINH
lar announcements.
have never agreed with those who
would put the police force of a great
CITY wholly under the control OF local
authorities. The general public divides
its vote along lines of political prin-
ciples The law breaker and those seek
ing spccial favors at the hands OF the
police will always be able to unite for
personal advantage and projections; we
cannot afford to make the control OF
the police force of Our cities prize
to be won by such combination.
Aside from their pride in them, the
people of the State have a direct IN
tcrest in the prosperity and good gov
eminent of our great cities. They are
the markets through which our pro-
ducts must reach the world, They are
the marts OF trade that furnish us the
articles we demand, Their streets are
walked by the citizens of every county,
and the security OF life, and property,
and preservation of health in the cities
is matter of direct interest to every
community in the State.
These police officials are officers OF
the State enforcing its laws, as well
as the laws of the city, and it is best
alike for city and country that some
power over them be reserved in the
State.

THE PANIC A THORN IN THE SIDE.

For many years it has been the slogan
OF the Republican party that Democratic
success meant financial depression. For
years they have led the people to be-
lieve that under Republican rule and a
high protective tariff the country would
always enjoy prosperity. Last fall, I'M
der the highest protective tariff that
was ever known, with enormous Repub-
lican ,majorities in House and Senate.
and a strenuous Republican executive
in the White House, the country was
compelled to face severe financial de-
preston. The stringency of 1902 was
worldwide in its scope, and the panic
swept over many foreign lands before
II visited America, proving conclusively
that the conditions which brought it on
were not of local origin. This year no
country was visited by panic except the
United States, proving conclusively il
was local and not worldwide condi-
tons that caused the trouble. For
twelve years the Republican party has
controlled every branch of the govern
ment. They have made the laws and
administered them. What excuse have
they to offer for the conditions that
they brought about1 If, as a portion
OF that party contends, this panic was
deliberately brought upon the country
by few great financiers, what excuse
can the party give for a governmental
policy under which a few great fin
anciers can at will wreck the business
interests of 100000 freemenl If. as
another portion of the party contends.

Executive along certain lines, it is onlv

We of the middle west suffered prob-
ably less than any other section of the
country. Abundant crops from our
fertile fields and the prosperity of our
agricultural communities was the
cause OF our security Already our
Republican friends are proclaiming that
prosperity has returned. We trust that
this is true, but we cannot refrain from
observing here and there a discordant
note.

NOT FAIR TO MERCHANT AND FAR.
MER,

To what other industry or business
does the government guarantee a
profit? The merchant must purchase
his stock of goods and take the
chance of falling market or a lack
of trade. The farmer must plant his
crop and bestow upon it unremitting
toll, and take all the chances of un-
favorable seasons, of constantly
changing price, and of open competi-
ton in the markets of the world. In
every line of industry the citizen must
run the risk himself, but the Repub-
lican party now proposes the govern
ment shall guarantee the investment
OF the manufacturer, and out of the
pockets of other citizens shall come
the money to make good his profit.
The time has come when, as recog-
nized by President Mckinley, our
manufacturing industries have reached
beyond the limits of the United States
and the needs of our people are not
more taxes, but more markets.
1t. would have been well for the
country had his party needed the wise
words spoken by him as he stood on
the brink of the grave at Buffalo, and
looked with prophetic vision into the
future:
Our capacity to produce" he
said, "has developed so enormously
and our products have so multiplied
that the problem of more market
requires our urgent and immediate
attention"
:. "A system which pro-
vides mutual EXCHANGE of COM
modities is manifestly essential to
the continued healthful growth OF
our export trade. We must not
repose in fancied security that we
can forever sell everything and buy
little or nothing If such a thing
were possible, it would not be best
for US or for those with whom we
deal. We should take from our
customers such of their products as
we can use without harm to Our in
dustries and labor"

THE TARIFF KEEPS UP THE TRUST,

Never again can the republican
party contend that the removal of the
tariff will not destroy the trust. Last
year all the great newspapers OF the
land joined in a demand upon Con-
gress for the removal Of the duty on
wood pulp, and every republican edi-
tor voiced the assertion that this re-
moval OF duty would break up the
print paper trust and relieve him from
the grlevous exactions it imposed.
wan those republican editors now
deny to the farmer the relief they
demanded for themselves? Will they
pretend that the remedy so efhcacious
IN their behalf would be of no value
to him! The sauce for the editorial
goose will surely make good dressing
tor the agricultural gander.
In the attempt to control the trust
under laws that have encouraged it,
the republican party has year after
year wandered farther from the prin-
cciples on which the government was
founded, until today they are
threatening to attack the integrity of
the states, in order that the general
government may have sufficient power
TO crush this creature of its own
breeding. We demand that the rights
OF the states be preserved, and that
the power of the general government
be used only to supplement the power
of the states.

Low TAXES, LARGE COMMERCE
WANTED.

Taxation and commerce are the
two great problems of government,
and the duty of craftsmanship is to
keep one at the lowest and the other
at the highest level.
All parties admit that to support
the great expense of the national
government we must maintain tariff
duties. The Republican party con-
tends that in fixing such taxes the
purpose should be to protect manu-
facturers with revenue as an incident
thereto. The democratic party con-
tends that in fixing the tax the pur-
pose should be to raise revenue with
protection only as an incident. If the
Republican principle prevails, as il
does now, the tariff duties are so ad-
justed as to raise the smallest amount
of revenue and furnish the highest
amount of protection. In other
words, the duties are so adjusted as
to give out Of the sums paid by the
people on account of tariff taxes the
smallest possible amount to the gen.
eral government and the largest
amount to the protected manufact-
urer. By=this policy manufacturers
are at first stimulated, but the natural

OPEN MARKETS DEMANDED.

The enormous balances of trade of

quently boast are constituted in large
part of agricultural products and raw
material. The country would be bet
ter off il both were consumed at
home. The only hope of restoring
our flag to the seas and giving to US
that permanent prosperity that should
be the constant accompaniment OF
new and fertile territory is by open
ing to the industry of our citizens,
and to their well known ingenuity and
productivity, the markets of the world.
Under tariff that recognizes the
obligation to raise revenue rather than
to protect investment, our commerce
would be released from the retaliatory

EFFICIENT NoN-P0LITICAL POLICE
FORCE PROMISED.

One thing above all others must be
recognized if a police force is to be
efficient-it must be kept out OF poll
tics. The individual policeman has the
same right as any other citizen to his
party preference, but on duty he must
be peace officer, and not partisan:
When the force becomes an adjunct OF
a political machine, both the police and
the party are corrupted by the power
it yields. 81.
If I am elected Governor OF this
State. no police force in any city under
a board appointed by me will be used
to control an election or permitted TO
exercise its power for the beneht OF
either party at the polls or any faction
at a primary.

DEMOCRATS OFFER A REMEDY
REPUBLICANS SILENT.

To meet this situation, we propose a
state and ..ational guaranty law, under
such regulations and restrictions as will
insure a conservative banking policy
and security of deposits. This of neces-
sity means improved inspection, and
will result in each banker becoming a
watch over the other. The tax upon
the bank will be small, and will be paid
many times over in the additional Sc
curity to the public. Business relieved
of the fear of a panic will move for
ward to assured and continuous pros
perity.
On this important policy the Repub-
licans OF Missouri are ominously silent
They fear to adopt a plan that has not
yet met with the approval of the great
national bankers, and they fear to OPP
pose a plan offering so much relief to
the average citizen, So they pass in
silence what they dare neither to OPP
pose nor approve.
Interesting and important as are
these questions in regard to State af:
fairs, yet after all it is the policies of
the nation that bring prosperity or ad-
vcrsity to the people of the State. If
the national government pursues false
policies, citizens of every state must
suffer for it.

REPUBLICAN NOMINEE QUESTIONED
ON NATIONAL PLATFORM.

National issues are a part of this
campaign and we shall not allow Mr..
Hadley to avoid them. He was MEM
Der of the convention that nominated
the candidates and made the platform ;
he cannot shirk responsibility, for
either. If he endorses them, he is not
entitled to the vote of laboring man
in the State. If he refuses to endorse
them, he will lose the support of his
party He must take one horn or the
other of this dilemma, and either will
be fatal to his hopes.
Nothing in my judgment would more
surely promote the general prosperity
of Missouri than the building tip with
in her limits of a great manufacturing
industry. Every natural resource in
vites the building here of factories Our
wealth of raw material, our wonderful
mineral resources, our central location
for purposes of distribution, our salu-
brious climate, Our vest beds of coal,
the swift streams of Our southern
counties waiting to be harnessed, the
variety and plentitude of our agricul-
tural products, cheap food, all are in
vitations to the manufacturer to make
this his home. Why does he not accept?
Why are so many articles, necessities
of our daily life, which could be manu-
featured out of Our raw material, inn
ported from other states and we COM
PEELED pay the cost both of the trans
portation of the raw material to the
factory and the finished product to our
homes? The answer is the manufac-
turer already has his money invested in
plants in eastern states, and so long as
under a protective tariff he can crush
out competition by combination, he can
compel the customer to pay these adj
ditional costs of transportation without
reduction of his profit. Already pro-
tected from foreign competition by l.
500 miles of land and 5000 miles of
water, Missouri has everything to gain
and nothing to- lose by reduction OF
duties. Every dollar that we pay be-
yond what is necessary for government
revenues is not only an unjust burden
upon our citizens, but premium to the
eastern manufacturer to prevent the up
building of Missouri industries.

HOME RULE A SOP TO ADVOCATES OF
SUNDAY SALOON.

I charge here and now that the home

and that purpose was to counteract the
promise made in the next lines OF the
platform, that the saloon should be
closed on Sunday. | had supposed the
policies of both parties in relation to
the liquor traffic had been settled by
the previous declarations of the candi-

DOUBLE DEALING PLATFORM.

After these announcements, and after
the men making them had become the
nominees of tfrrir respective PARTIES
had a right to believe that this ques-
ton had been removed from the realm
of political dispute, But now comes
the Republican platform with its home
rule plank, deliberately giving to the
city the right to annul the power of
the State. If those desiring the open
saloon on Sunday can, by uniting with
either of the great political parties, elect
board of police commissioners and
an excise commissioner favorable to
their view, then these officers may dis
regard violations of that law, and the
Governor of the State would be prac-
tically powerless to enforce it.

ALSO GIVES LABOR THE COLD sHoUL-
DER.i

The Chicago convention not only re-
fused the demands made by the labor
leaders, but proposed to give the
force of statutory law to the present
procedure in the Federal courts, and
since then we have heard nothing
more of Mr.. Hadley's plank, but only
OF his approval of the republican
policy.
Under the Sherman antitrust law,
as construed today by our courts, the
labor union is twin brother to the
criminal trust. In the last Congress
labor begged of the republican party
to be relieved from this odium. Not
only was their request denied, but in
boastful language the republican
leaders announced they were respon-
sible for legislation. For years the
republican party has refused every
reasonable demand of labor, and yet
with full knowledge of that fact the
votes of laboring men have. main
tanned in Congress a republican ma
jority. Has that majority not a right
therefore to believe that those men
approve their course? 1t is the
sheerest folly for a laboring man to
pretend he favors the bills proposed
by the American Federation of Labor,
and then go to the polls and vote for
a republican Congressman.
He knows full we'll whatever may
be the pledges that republican Con-
gressmen make; he will at Washing
ton enter the caucus of his party;
that caucus will again choose Uncle
Joe Cannon as Speaker of the House,
and Uncle Joe, if elected, will appoint
a committee that will never permit a
labor measure to come before that
body. So every laboring man should
realize in this campaign that when he
votes for a republican Congressman
he votes for the perpetuation of the
present procedure in injunction cases,
and against the right Of jury trial in
cases of indirect contempt, and for
retaining on the statute books the
law that makes labor union a crimi-
nal trust, and every member of it LA
J bic to fine and Imprisonment.
