St. Louis, Mo-, Nov. ga. L. Nc
Cawley Of Carthage, attorney for th
Missouri Anti-Saloon league unde
lite former management, was In th,
city yesterday en- route home from {
business trip in Southeast Missouri
Speaking OF the Republican landslid,
In Missouri, Mr.. McCawley said:
"Like all good Democrats, l de
plore the defeat of our candidate fol
governor and the manner In which
the hair was singed on the candi
dates for minor Offices"
Asked TO what he attributed the
party's loss In the state he said:
"Not being a physician l have had
little to do with post. mortsms, there
fore will not attempt to offer an eI.
PLANTATION. But one thing is sure,
the dry element of the Democratic
party out In the state, and temper.
snce people In general, are beginning
TO think that the brewery lion and
the Anti,Ssloon League lamb we're
made to lie down together In green
(back) pastures, and that they were
led to vote with the brewers OF the
big cities, and the lawless element In
st. Louis county, for the Republican
ticket.
whether this condition was
brought about through the brewers
trying to fool the temperance people
and the political managers of the
Anti-Saloon league trying to fool the
brewers at the same time, or by an
underground arrangement between
the two, there seems to be q division
OF opinion.
But II any Democrat In this state
gives another dollar to that organi.
zation In the future he Is a bigger
fool than think he Is.
From now on it's my guess that
Democrats with water-wagon symp.
toms will give their money for TEN.
perance work to the temperance de.
partment OF some church, or to the
W. c. T. T., where they are sure to
get q square deal. 81
ut would be mighty interesting
reading il the lights we're turned on
the transactions between the politi.
cal managers Of the AntiSaloon
league and certain Republican poll.
ticians In Missouri.
ut would be an interesting tale to
tell II they would take the public In
to their confidence as to the source
OF certain known large contributions
entered on their books as cash.
They might tell the names of the
fellows who were 80 suddenly inter.
ested in the Anti-Ssloon league cause
as to contribute something like
~, 100 In q single week to an organi.
cation tn had lived like a hungry
Lazarus for months before.
"They might shed some light on a
certain thousand dollar check, q Ger.
tain five hundred dollar check and a
five hundred dollar bill, which they
brought into the league office near
the first OF September.
at would not be an embarrassing
tale II the people we're told the name
OF the individual who gave the roll
OF greenbacks TO a st. Louis parson
at the foot Of the elevator in the Gen.

late in August of this year, which
