what Was Done In 1904.

The committee having charge OF the
campaign of Governor Folk In 1904
sent a letter to citizens of st. Louis
soliciting funds for overcoming the re,
suits of the frauds perpetrated at the
primaries In March the frauds to
which the Republic referred in its
editorial OF March IA of that year. In
their letter the committeeman said.
The outrages at the recent primaries
have excited the indignation OF the
people Of Missouri from one end OF the
state to the other and the sentiment
is freely expressed that delegates which
have been elected by fraud and intimi.

prevent similar occurrences at the st
Louis primaries.
"Sins of omission may be no less
grave than those of commission.
"In the new and dormant issue thus
forced to the front the people of Mis-
souri,, the people of the whole state
are no less concerned than are the
people Of st. Louis itself. With per,
sonal liberty at an end and free suf'
frage lost in st. Louis, the State is
in the gravest danger. The riot OF
mlsrule and disorder here carries III
delegates to each State convention, to
misrepresent st. Louis and mlslead
the State Democracy.
1T remains to be seen whether the
Democracy of Missouri is willing to
confirm this domination of rowdies
and rufians."
A VICIOUS DENIAL.
Thursday, October 15, 1908, angered
by the continual assertions of Herbert
s. Hadley that the general primary
election in August was conducted by
the same crooks and thugs and
thieves for the benefit of Cowherd and
his associates, and that gigantic
frauds were p~erpetrated, resulting in
a big majority for Cowherd in the
city, the st. Louis Republic broke
loose from its mooring to pure cleo
tions and honest politics and abused
and villitied Mr.. Hadley in the most
drastic language, saying, among other
things as mean and vicious as any
vitriolic pen could indict:
"Hadley's immortality"
Excerpt from long editorial In Re-
public of October IA, 190S.)
"Third-Herbert s. Hadley, Attor.
ney General of the State, superior of
ficer and personal and political friend
of Circuit Attorney Sager, who has
conducted the whole Investigation
into frauds In st. Louis, is in a much
better position than anyone else, ex-
cept possibly Sager, to know the ma
ture and extent of the frauds. He
does know their nature and extent.
And knowing them, he has deliberate

President Roosevelt Saws.

To fail to elect Mr.. Taft would be a
calamity to the country; and it would
be folly, while electing him, yet at the
same time to elect a Congress hostile
to him, a Congress which under the
influence of partisan leadership would
be certain to thwart and battle him on
every possible occasion. To elect Mr..
Taft, and at the same time elect a
Congress pledged to support him, is
the only way in which to perpetuate
tie policy OF the government as now
carried on. feel that all the aid that
can be given to this policy by every
good citizen should be given; for this
is TAR more than a merely partisan
matter.

The primary election in st. Louis
fn March, 1904, for nomination of city
officials. and delegates to state con-
ventions, was conducted by Demo
cratic election crooks and thugs and
thieves, just as they conducted the
primary election in August of this
year. The city was scandalized and
decent people were ashamed of the
scenes and incidents of the day.
March Ia, 1904, two days after the
city primary election, the st. Louis
Republic said editorially:
q "a Grave ISSUE"
mo good citizen can read Of the
Democratic primaries last Saturday
without recognizing that a new issue
has been created of graver character
and higher importance than any ques-
ton of partisan politics. The story Of
the day is a tale of outrage and in

with disgrace.

overwhelming mass Of evidence show

many outrages to go unrebuked, II
they did not actually and actively as

There is no chance to question the
fact that the imported rowdies who
ran amuck continuously for six long
hours in the t~wenty-eighth ward had
the sympathy and protection of the po-
lice who were stationed at It's two
polls. Citizens who were showed and
beaten and slugged In their efforts to
faithfully execute a high civic duty
appealed in vain for police protection.
Voters who were personally known to
the officers found their appeals as abb

a clean shirt or a decent coat was to
be accorded no rights unless he was
known to carry a Halves ballot,

CRAIG HAS Big LEAD.
His Supporters Say he will win the Mem,
ination on the First Ballot
at Charlotte.
Charlotte Observer.

The result of the voting in the State
primaries Saturday was more than
satisfactory to the friends OF Mr.. Craig.
With the exception of Davidson,
Wayne and Pennsylvania it was in the
Congressional districts OF the Kitch-
ms.
An estimate in Fridays Observer
allotted 81 votes to Mr.. Kitchin-he re-
ceived 48; 81 to Mr.. Craig-he received
practically %; IL to Mr.. Horne-he re-
ceived 8. Some OF the counties which
were supposed to have held primaries
did not. 1t was estimated that Mr..
Craig would maintain his lead by SO
votes; he maintained it by practically
SO. It is better than was expected and
the result is good enough.
The greatest satisfaction, perhaps.
was felt over the outcome in Davidson
| put up by the Kitchin forces, Mr.. Craig
carried the county by two votes over
Kitchin. The battle of the day was in
the Kitchin territory and it was to be
expected that he should secure the
lions share of the votes. As a matter
of tact, however, Mr.. Kitchin did not
carry a single county solidly, only
approaching that satisfaction in
Greene, where he received E Of the z
votes.
Thus far 40 counties-just one-balt
the ~State-have voted, leaving Mr..
Craig with a lead OF So votes. Tho
balance of the battle is to be fought GU
in neutral territory, and Mr.. Craig's
supporters confidently believe that he
will get a majority of the votes to be
cast and that he will go to h conven
ton with a sufficient number OF votes
to be nominated on the first ballot

VI ho 0Al
cratic candidate for Presidentwould be
eminently satisfactory to the Republi-
cans. Such a movement could not be
a more complete play into their hands.
They would be equally as pleased as
they were over the nomination of Par
ker, who proved an easy mark for them
just as the Bryan supporters at that
time predicted.
The Republicans know that Johnson
would not have a shadow of a chance
to reach the White House. They know,
as do most of those Eastern gentlemen
who are booming johnson and who
pose as Democrats, but who have always
fought the leader of the party since
1896, thereby weakening the Demo-
cratic party and strengthening the Re-
publican party, that Bryan would have
a good chance to win if the party will
stand by him with q united force, and
that it they defeat him at all it will
have toIbe by the distribution of a huge
corruption fund tosfbe raised amo
them and amounting to hundreds Of
thousands, perhaps millions, of dollars,
according to the strength the Demo-
cratic leader develops before election
day. They know that costly as it is to
boom Johnson for the nomination, if
they succeed, the "opens will stop there
and will be infinitely smaller han the
on to distribute in ~debauching the cleo
ton to defeat Bryan. It is largely q
business proposition with them--a move
to save them from contributing to the
| defeat Of a strong Democratic candi-
date.

the situation if you have anything
against your fellow-citizen and desire
to murder him, just go crazy for a min
ute and recover as soon as you have
committed the deed. Then escape pun
ishment by getting some experts tc
express the opinion that you were un

comes uncomfortable or d~isagreeable
