dignity across her not ill-made face.

and later to force the closing of the
tracks at st. Louis by the use of
the police. To the example set by
the State of Missouri In closing the
race tracks, the Governor attributed
the recent similar action in New
York, Louisiana and the District of
Columbia.
Party Organization in Missouri.
Turning near the close of his
speech to the condition of the Dem
Ocratic party in Missouri, Governor
Folk declared that the party is in
better condition to-day than it has
for many years. He said that il
had been charged by his opponents
that he had disorganized the party
by the vigorous reforms which he
initiated and put into force. TO this
he said, that In 1906 the party had
redeemed the State from the defeat
OF 1901, that the last Legislature
was more strongly Democratic than
for many years; that twenty cOun-
ties, formerly Republican, had
elected Democratic representatives;
that st. Louis, Kansas City and St.
Joseph, the three leading cities OF
the State, were all Democratic at
the same time for the first time.
"Does that look like disorganiza-
tion?" No, the party is not disor-
ganized; 1t is in far better condition
In Missouri than for quarter of
century. But he had disorganized
the bosses, to that he pleaded guilty.
Pledging himself to the initiative
and referendum and to the move
ment for the election of United
States Senator by the direct vote of
the people, the Governor concluded
with the promise that II elected to
the United States Senate, he would
continue the work of attempting to
bring about strict observance of the
law by all classes OF citizens, with
equality to all and special privileges
to none.
Governor Folk was introduced by
former State Senator John S. Clay
in very clever speech and one
which, In its briefness, accorded
well with the close atmosphere OF
the room. At Flat River, Editor
Chas. II. Pratt introduced the Gov
ernor in n happy, well-timed and APP
pr0priated manner.

The Republican National Con-
vention of 1905 has passed into
history, and shamelessly left as a
part of its record the rejection of
three important reform resolutions:
One providing for physical valua-
ton of railroads, preferring that
they be left to exact tribute on
their watered stock another, the
election of United States Sena-
tors by the people, showing its
distrust of the popular will and
a third, the publicity of campaign
contributions, an open bid fol-
contributions from the special in
terests which the Republican party
has ever served and thus promises
to continue TO serve.

Governor Joseph W. Folk, candi-
date for the United States Senate,
spoke in Pennington Saturday after
noon to crowd which filled the
Opera House to it's full seating ca
pacity and then some, and later in
the afternoon departed for Flat
River, where he made an address
Saturday night to more than 1000
people.
The Governor devoted n consider
able portion of his speech to n re-
view OF the work accomplished by
the two Democratic Legislatures in
session during his term as Cover
nor and pointed out the reforms
that were initiated and carried out
during his regime.
Referring to the carnival of cor.
ruption" in existence in st. Louis
and in n lesser degree in Jefferson
City prior to the campaign Of 1904,
he declared that bOodling had been
stopped and that the corrupt Hobbies
had been driven from the State cap
ital. Every lobbyist who comes to
Jefferson City now" said the Gov.
ernor "must register with the Sec.
rotary Of State, giving his business,
his salary and what he expects to
lobby for. With this restriction in
force, there are no 1000 bills IN
sight. II there has been anybribery

cluded Mr.. Folk ait has never beer

Under his regime the free pass
had been abolished and Legislators
no longer get transportation from
the railroads. This was one of tn,
pledges he made during the cam
paign of 1904, and the pledge has
been carried out.
Clean elections in the cities, whcr,
