The Coming Campaign.

That the 1910 campaign in Mis-
souri, will be one of the l~iveliest ever
seen in the Grand Old State is an as
snrcd fact. with splendid prospects
for Republican victory all along the
line, provided the bosses and pie
hunters can be kept with the camp
kettles. The first great need is a
Republican legislature, and only the
best men in the party should be
chosen for 81 important a position.
In the Olicn times when the Demo-
Gratis owned Missouri it was only nee
cssary for the Republican counties TO
elect a man to the Legislature with
sense enough to draw his salary and
take care OF his hat, but now. with
the state to be rc-districtcd, a l.. S.
Senator to elect. home government
tor the large cities, and many other
important matters to be attended
to in order to keep Our great state in
the van, the best men only will fill
the bill. While Shackclford is pro-
badly as good a Democrat as any,
yet it is high time the Sth district was
represented by a Republican, but i,
will be necessary to drop the pro-
sc-sic"lai politician and select a man
who will carry the entire Republican
vote and enough of the better elc-
rent of the Democratic party to
elect hint won't require so many
democratic votes with the right sort
Of a candidate.
In county offices in Morgan county
it will be necessary to make good
selections, and an entire change is
probable. and would he OF benefit to
the party. This question is up to the
voters. and it is getting high time for
its Discussion, as the date tor nomi-
nations closes in May, five months.
Don't allow the bosses, who had the
breath knocked out OF them by the
primary election, but who have par
tally recovered and will sgain en-
tleavor TO control the machinery AZ in
former times. to persuade you to hold
of until March or April, and then
permit them to hustle their slate
through, leaving you to wonder how
they did it. Get busy now.

YoUNGSTER TELLS TAFT
HE DOUBTS SANTA CLAUS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-When little
Henry Gordon McCorran. the 6-year-old
grandson of Representative McCorran, OF
Michigan, was introduced to President
Taft during the congressional calling
hotlr at the White House today, he
b1iAtly told the chief executive that he
mad begun to doubt the authenticity of
"all this Santa Claus business"
At the suggestion of his parents he had
decided to leave the matter to President
Taft for settlement
The president was taken aback for a
minute, but, looking down on the little
fellow and patting him on the head. said
well, young man, If you write letter
to Santa Claus and on Christmas morn
ing find that he has brought you all you
asked for. isn't that enough to show that
he not only exists, but a mighty fine
little fellow?"
The boy looked starry-eyed for a few
seconds and finally admitted that that
certainly would be a point in favor of
santa Claus and he agreed to reserve his
judgment until Christmas morning In
the meantime he is going to be very busy
with letter writing. @

Hardly filling the chairs Of the Geor-

of 1884 and 'S5 met in joint session. at

known to them in his younger days as
Mr.. Russell of Clarke.
