CLEAR LEAD
!. I. in MISSOURI
TAFT HAS CARRIED STATE BY
VERY HANDSOME PLURAL.
TY-DEMocRATs CON.
cEpE IT.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-. Nov. 7.--Relurns
compiled by the Republic give Taft
the electoral vote OF Missouri BY q
plurality of 3,172 over Bryan. These
returns are complete from alt but
three of the ia counties OF the State
and include estimates based on partial
returns from the missing counties.
The Globe Democrat places the TAFT
Plurality in excess OF 800.
According to the Republican figures
the presidential vote polled in Mis-.
souri, on Tuesday was 1924 higher
than that polled In 1900, which was the
high mark. Tafts vote is but C,S2S
behind the Bryan vote OF that rear,
and complete returns from the three
missing counties will probably send Il
ahead OF the Bryan vote Of eight years
ago. The plurality OF Hadly, Republi-
can, for governor, is now placed at IT,.
651, and complete returns from the
thrNa missing counties win probably
show that he has potled the highest
vote ever cast in the State for any Of
fice.
The Legislature is now thought to be
Democratic on joint ballot by four
votes.
The constitutional amendments in
Guiding that providing for the lnItla-
tive and referendum have apparently
been defeated.

OF the American Federation Of Labor,

federation with It's 100000 members
and more than 100000 voters will
adopt permanent policy through an
amend dnlent to its constitution. There
Will be vigorous opposition to The ae,
ton binding the federation 70 any po,
litical policy and an effort probably
will be made to bind the organIzatio
to keep entirely out Of politics. both
local and national, in the future. The
matter will be brought up soon after
the convention assemblies, in the form
OF resolutions approving and resolu-
tions condemnlng the action OF Presi.

the executive board in supporting the
ASCl4VSlhLIS lAShSL LI Tie last GdLlIulKu.
These resolutions will be referred to
the committee on resolutions and will
not be generally discussed until near
the end Of the meeting.
The fight against politics in the or.
ganization will probably be led by
Socialist members. who have always
opposed the introduction OF political
questions into the federation. They
will be backed by number OF ReBub-
licans who have opposed the action OF
the federation leaders in the present
campaign and by many delegates who
consider the recent campaign sufIlci.
ent proof that the federation can ac-
complish nothing in national politics.
1t is not thought, however, by those
who have kept closely informed on la
Dor matters that the opposition viii
be strong enough to prevent the con-
Hention deciding on q vigorous poitt
cal policy.

Are women practical jokers? The

Now, the youngest Of them was the in

a poet of no mean ability. She had
been persuaded by her friends to sub

result that a small volume OF poems
was brought out.
TN this state Of affairs one Of the
clique Of which she was a member
saw great possibilities. She taught
logic, I think. At any rate she had a
deductive mind capable of making
plans that would work out nicely. So
she wrote letters to 15 or 20 Of her
friends asking them to write to the
poet, saying they had read her book
with great interest, paying her all the
compliments they could think Of with
out seeming insincere, and asking for
her autograph"
