drain on his strength that he often quite

He formed the habit OF drinking strong coffee
regularly with his meals Occasionally when he
did not have his coffee he would suffer from
headache. nervousness and weakness. This
alarmed him and me also. for feared he was
becoming slave TO coffee.

predictions like 10 be classed as consefVa-
tive" said Representative Richard Bartholdt OF
Missouri to-day. and in that frame of mind /
confidently assert that the Republican national
and state tickets will secure satisfactory majori-
ties in Missouri this fall I have gone over the
situation as carefully as il can be studied at this
early stage of the campaign and cannot by
ground for the Democratic predictions which
place Missouri in the Bryan column Indeed. at
the outset Of the campaign the chances all seem
10 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 ad-
rninistration of President Roosevelt should be
rewarded by the election Of his choice and of
man who has pledged himself TO carry out the
Presidents policies.
Bryan. on the other hand. has lost much OF
the strength he had in 1900. He has been a
loser toe long. and those Democrats who voted
for Roosevelt in 1904 will also vote for Taft A
great rnajrity Of first voters in state will
vote the Republican ticket, for they see nothing
attractive in supporting Bryan. One of the
greatest assets TO the ticket is the nomination
of Herbert Hadley for Governor without oppo-
sition. He has exceptional record as Attor-
ney General and would undoubtedly have been
elected if this fight in the Democratic
ranks had not come up. Whether Ball or Cow
herd is declared nominated makes little differ
ence now: the friends of one will knife the
other and the longer this fight is continued the
more votes it makes for the Republicans.

that his administration had been very benefcial

Both factions pledged themselves to support
Taft some time ago by placing the same electors

have refused TO serve on both tickets. Mr.

DEBS D4RES GOMPERS.
Sends Challenge for Debate on 4nt'-
Injunction Plank.

b.I1apes which has been issued by Eugene
V Debs Presidential candidate of the Soclalsl
party to President Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor to debate with him the ques-
ton whether, as Debs contends. the ant1-inJuhc-
tton nIank in the Democratic platform is simply a
bait to catch the unions and means nothlhs'
caused only mild excitement among labor men
yesterday
Robert Glockling. president Of the international
Brotherhood Bookbinders, said: L do not oe-
Iieve that Mr. Compers will notice this challenge
There is nothing debatable in the matter. MI
Gompers made certain demands OF ooth the re
publican and Democratic national conventions
These demands were among others, for anti
Injunction plank in the platform The Repunl-
can. party ignored the demands and the Demo
cratic party granted them. There Is nothlng 10
debate in that. The Debs people want to adver-
tise themselves at the expense of Mr. Gompers'
but he is too wise to be used that way and OF
course Debs will say that Mr. Gompers Is aIralo
to meet him
Herman Robinson. general organizer Of the
American Federation of Labor, said: ANY one
who thinks for himself will see that this chal-
lenge is a bait to draw Mr.. Gompers out and get
notoriety for Mr. Debs. The Socialists Will move
heaven and earth to get before the public There
is nothing to debate, and Mr.. Gompers. believe
will not take the matter seriously or help the
Socialists to- get before the public
A different view was taken by Daniel Feather
SON. secretary of the district council of the
brotherhood of Carpenters. He said:
'Debs has the best end of the matter, and he
would beat Gompers to frazzle in debate on
the question. Gompers wouldn't be in it and
would stand show. The fact Is that the So
called anti-injuncton plank is only lot of gilt
tering generalities and put in to catch labor
votes There is no difference between the two
parties when It comes to labor demands. Debs is
right in this case and would be able to prove 1t
in debate He would knock all the arguments
that Gompers would bring into cooked hat"
