NER AGREE ON A
PLAN OF ACTION.

NEh AUREE ON "A
PLAN OF ACTION.
The Senator viii Not Oppose the
Reelection of Walter s. Dick
ey as Chairman of the State
Committee.
Jefferson City, Nov.-After con-
ference between Governor Hadley
and Senator Warner, which lasted
pretty much all Of Friday afternoon
and until nearly midnight, some def
mite political plans for the future
were outlined. From what Governor
Hadley said regarding the conference
at his office, the following outline
may be given:
There will be no warfare between
the federal and the state administra-
ton men. Senator Warner will leave
for Washington Friday, but will re-
turn to Missouri shortly; and If Sena-
tor Stone, in a public speech the lat
ter is to deliver here Thursday night
of next week, undertakes to outline a
Democratic policy involving the Tariff
Law or state issues, Senator Warner
will reply to him and the campaign
will be opened forthwith.
Senator Warner and his friends
will not oppose the reelection Of
Walter S. Dickey. as chairman Of the
Republican State Committee and the
active head Of the campaign next
year.
Atkins Must Keep Out.
If Thomas j. Atkins undertakes to
defeat Mr.. Dickey he will be told to
keep quiet and enjoy the emoluments
of the postoffice at ST. Louis, or
something to this effect.
Senator Warner does not believe
that there will be any opposition in
the Republican party to his renomina-
ton, and he will be ready to go into
the fall campaign just as soon as Sen
ator Stone fires off his first political
speech, which, as stated, will be No
vember Is.
Governor Hadley has promised to
take a part in the state campaign, but
will largely confine himself to a dis
cussion of issues involving public
utility commission with state func-
tons, a proper regulation Of the liquor
traffic and an improvement Of the
undeveloped resources OF the state.
Apparently it is not the governors
intention at this time to discuss ma
tional issues, save in general terms.
He will leave these for Senator War
ner and others and confine himself
largely to home issues.
Republicans on the Offensive.
It is the governors idea, and also
the idea of Senator Warner, that the
state campaigns should be made ag'
gressive from the start. Both be-
lieve that the Democrats should be
placed on the defensive right at the
start, as they were in the last cam
paigh.
Senator Warner believes that the
protection afforded zinc and lead ir
the new Tariff Bill will prevent tina
measure from becoming much Of
party issue in Missouri.
II is the understanding here tina
Senator Warmers visit to the nationa
capital at this time has to do with sew
eral federal appointments, a collecto
for the port and a district attorney TO
the eastern district Of Missouri, among
others. Not a few believe that Sena
tor Warner will favor the appoint
ment of Charles Houts, formerly o
Warrensburg, but now Of St Louis
to the office Of United States distric
attorney for the St Louis district
Henry Blodgett, the present incum
bent has rendered his resignation, I
take effect December l.
