JUDGE VILLAGES SPEECH.

There were two tn ings with
which one who listened to Judge
William H. Wallace's speech
Monday night could not fail to be
impressed-the speakers sim
certify and his political guileless-
ness. Judge Wallace delivered
a splendid plea for Sunday law
enforcement and temperance.
He was ever earnest and at
times eloquent: he spoke with a
fervor that commanded respect
and attention. Every hearer,
no doubt, left the court house
convinced that Judge Wallace
was a great man.
But the speech was not Of the
kind that gets votes. Judge
Wallace did not mention party
politics. He did not refer to
his pet theories as the grand
old principles of the Democratic
party handed down by the great
statesman and patriot, Thomas
Jefferson" He said that the
police commissioners Of Kansas
City would do nothing to help
him in his law-enforcing cru.
sade-giving a direct slap to the
favorite appointees Of Governor
Folk. TWAS not at all a polit
ical speech; it was more Of q
lecture in defense Of his worl
in Kansas City.
AS it is, Judge Wallace has
practically no chances Of the
gubernatorial nomination; bu.
if he had a good campaign man
ager and o slight slush fund h,
would cut much more of a figure

his campaign for ahe United
States Senatorship made last
Friday night at st. Joseph. His
most loyal supporters think it
the greatest political speech ever
delivered by an unterrifed Dem
ocrat in the Commonwealth of
Missouri. His bitterest open
ents say it was mere twaddle.
But all viii agree that it had
some effect in his favor. There
are scores of men in Lexington
who at the last election we're
violently shouting for Folk and
Good Government and calling
every one opposed a tool of the
machine and a boodler, who, after
Mr.. Folk had shown that he had
no intention Of keeping his prom
misses and had committed the
sentence of Mrs. Myers, OPP
posed him as strongly as they
had supported him. Several of
these men after reading his
speech became uncertain and
admitted their choice to be
doubtful. 1t is safe to presume
that there are many similar
instances all over the state.
There is no doubt of the fact
that the speech was adroit. But
why some good Democrats could
have their minds changed SO
easily it is hard to see. Four
years ago Mr.. Folk put up a good
line Of talk. His intentions and
his ability were apparently of
the highest order. Those who
called him a selt-seeking politi-
clan with none too many scruples
could produce no tangible proof
and merely had a bunch"
Now it has been demonstrated
that Mr.. Folk is a machine
politician of the most dangerous
type, that he will not keep his
promises, that much of his re-
form talk was insincere, that he
subordinates everything to his
selfish interest. He promised
home rule" for the larger cities
and made it a strong campaign
issue. Then he defeated every
effort on the part of the legis-
~lators to have home rule and
used the power he thus kept for
making political machines out
[of the police departments Of st.
Louis and Kansas City. He
claims 10 have ended corrupt
lobbying and yet he has allowed
William Phelps to use his private
Office during the time Legislature
was in session.
Mr.. Folk has brought disaster
to the Democratic party and will
continue to stir up internal
strife. OF course that is nothing
against him to those who put
righteousness above party
loyalty. But it is difficult to un
derstand how these advocates o.
righteousness can be deceived
by a speech consisting of can't
innuendo and careful misrepre.
~sentation.

From editorial utterances in
the last issue of the Lexington
Intelligencer it seems that that
paper would have stood ready to
support Governor Johnson Of
Minnesota for president in pre-
ference to Bryan had not that
gentleman made a resent visit
to Kansas City and called on w
r Nelson of the Star, refusing
to see any other person in Kan
sas City. The editor of the
Intelligencer is certainly not
abreast with political events. OF
course Johnson's visit to get the
support of the Star viii counter
act any following he might have
had in Missouri, but the fact is
Bryan has this state beyond
doubt. No man nor news

than this the people have be-

cases when power is delegated
