nothing that Mr.. Cowherd could say that

there is nothing that / could say that

keeper who obeys the Law is entitled TO

What the Platform Says and What Mr..
Hadley Has Said.

The Missouri Republican platform de-
clares:
I'VE declare that the two propositions
OF controlling Importance in connection
with the liquor question In this State are:
That the saloon and liquor interests must
be made to obey the laws Of the State.
whatever those laws may be, and that
they must not control the nomination or
election Of Nj public officials.
I'VE believe that the people OF every
city and county should rave the right.
as may be provided by law, to permit or
prevent h sale of intoxicating liquors
therein.
I'VE pledge the nominees OF the Re-
publican party to a strict enforcement
OF all laws on the statute books relating
TO dramshops. including the closing OF
saloons on Sunday. and also to the en-
actment and enforcement Of such new
laws as experience may show to be neces-
sary and advisable for the further sup
