ABOUT THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC..
What the Platform Says and What Mr.
HadIey 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, n that
they must not control the nomination or
election Of our public officials.
1--WE believe that the people of every
city and county should have the right.
as may be provided by law. to permit or
prevent the sale Of Intoxicating liquors
therein.
1--WE pledge the nominees Of the Re-
publican party to q strict enforcement
of all avs on the statute books relating
to dramshops. including h 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
preston of the evils Of the liquor traf-
ac."

man G F Kamarow, while at

about his head and throat.
Byrd came very near cutting
Kamarow's throat, and if it

the trouble would have been a
fatal one-while it may prove
fatal yet. Both parties are
very prominent men and have
many friends here. Byrd was
not hurt and was placed in the
lock up, but he managed to
break out Sunday morning and
went to Lake City, where he
was arrested by constable Belk,
but was released on a $50O.OO
bond. A hearing was given
, Monday and on account of Mr.
Kamarow being unable to at
tend, Mr. Byrd was COMMITTEES

Mr. Kamarow out of danger,

Mr. Kamarow is improving some.
