To "H0Id Missouri. !"

And so the republican campaign
managers are laying plans to "hold
Missouri In line for Taft"
Well, they will find Missouri the
hardest animal they ever tried TO
hold.
There never was time since 1896
that Missouri wasn't for Bryan and
the results In November will shoY
that the state has not departed from
It's love Of democratic principles.
Il went against Parker In 1904, TO
be sure, because he was q stronger
dose than some OF the democratic
fishermen could stomach
But this year the Missouri demo
cracy Is we'll pleased to vote for and
the state will show It's democratic
faith by not only giving Bryan g
rousing big majority bu. by electins
the entire democratic state ticket.
When Is comes to "holding Mis-
souri, In line" even Judge Tait's In
junction mill will, be found unequa
to the task.
Republican politicians continue Il
assail the primary law. After No
vember they probably will also con
denim the regular election law as
failure, because of the results It vii
