MAYOp CRITESDEN, Of Kansas
City, made q strong fight at the State
Democratic convention, held at Jcfe.-
son City last week. for his resolution
DISTINGUISHING the ColOred voters OF
the state, its defeat being largely
attributable to the opposition Of FIX
Governor DDckery. Such a law
would be someweat tough on the
CoIorcd Jefferson Club Of st. Louis,
the Coloerd Democratic voters Of
Versailles. and the hundreds Of
colOred Democratic voters Of Kansas
City who helped elect Mayor Crittcn-
den. With Democratic success such
disiranchiscmcnt is sure to come, as
the Democratic slogan now is, mis-
sour, a white mans STATE II is
mp TO the cpIOrcd brother himself. as
the Missouri Democracy cannot hope
10 win without the assistance OF a
large colorcd vote. As DOckcry said
at the convention, "'Wc vote EN-"
and We guess he was right.

laughter may come an appreciation Of
the real righteousness of the thing call
ed "practical politics"
Look at the big four"-Polk. Stone,
Francis and Reed. Folk stands for every
thing that is decent and honest in Demo.
cracy-Stone stands for the worst.
Francis led the bolt from Bryan in 1895,
and Reed is a ~demagogue who won fafne
by attacking corporations, and is now in
the employ Of a monopoly.
NJ NJ. Swcetman was defeated for dis
,rict delegate because he voted for Bryan
in 1896. Aside from the francis fact,
| Reed has fought more Democratic tickets
| ,hsn he ever advocated, and is the one
man in the history Of Jackson county
who mad his campaighn contribution
sent back to him, Both Stone and Reed
practically bolted Mr.. Folk in 1904.
And poor old Moses Wetmore! The
largest personal contributor to the Bryan
funds! II was his ambition &c be one Of
the Big Four" and yet they turned him
down like a dog. True. Stone made a
speech a Characteristic Stone speech in
which he told how he loved Colonel
Wetmore, but the fact remains that Stone
rolled his friend in favor Of Francis.
And the famous Crittcnden anti
negro" resolution. How the convention
did sit on 1t, Alas poor I~rittenden! He
had banked on the resolution To put him
