national state tickets will secure salts

l have gone over the situation as care
fully as it can be studied at this early
stage of the campaign and cannot, by
any stretch of the Imagination, find a
good ground for the Democratic pre-
dictions which place Missouri in the
Bryan column. Indeed at the outset
of the campaign the chances all seem
to me to favor the Republicans. Our
party is absolutely united on every
question and for every office. There is
a strong wave of Taft enthusiasm and
feeling that the splendid administra-
ton of President Roosevelt should
be rewarded by the election of his
choice and of a man who has pledged
himself to carry out the President
policies.
Bryan, on the other hand, has lost
much of the strength he had in 1900.
He has been a loser too long, and those
Democrats who voted for Roosevelt in
1904 will also vote for Taft. A great
majority of first voters in our State
will vote the Republican ticket, for
they see nothing attractive in support
ing Bryan. One of the greatest assets
to the ticket is the nomination of Her
bert Hadley for Governor without OPP

as Attorney General and would un-
douhtedly have been elected even if
