TO THE VOTERS OF
SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. "a.

II seems from the number of in
quiries that the people do not ex-
actly understand how the piece Of
land that offer to said district for
high school site lies. AS to streets
it is accessible from the south by A
and { streets. Each of those
streets have good granitoid walks on
both side; from the west by North
street, and from the east by n street
that will be opened from the St.
Louis road, beginning just north Of
S. J Tetley's residence, going west
and intcrsecting A street on the
east of said property.
This property is 465 feet long and
2.2 feet wide; is bordered on the
east, south and west by streets 80
feet wide, and on the north by Il
street 40 feet wide. So you see there
are no alleys that tOuch this prop
erty; therefore the adjoining proper
ties all around it face this property,
hence, there will he no outbuildings
back up against said property,
which is point worthy of consider
alton.
] hereby pledge the voters that If
the district buys this property l will
open all of said streets aud will de-
dicate them to the city free Of
charge. w. +. DoSS.

UNITED STATES SENATOR.

| UNITED STATES SENATOR.
Several prominent Democrats Of
the State have been tentatively
mentioned as probable candidates
for United States Senator to sue
ceed Senator Warner, but Hon.
/ james A. Reed of Kansas City is
the first thus early to make known
his avOwed candidacy for this posi-
ton. Mr.. Reed is an earnest, able
and loyal Democrat, and is well
known over the State because of
the masterfui campaign he made in
| 1904 as competitor Of Mr.. Folk
for the nomination for Governor
Mr.. Reed is worthy Of the cOnsld.
Grafton of Democrats in this I'M
portant matter, but there are also
several other gentlemen who are
equally worthy, whose admirers in
the party would gladly honor them
with the senatorial togu; indeed,
there is no dearth in the party III
this State of good timber for that
position.
But the question that most con
Germs Democrats in the uncertain
political conditions in Missouri is,
how to unity the party and make
the most aggressive fight for sue.
cess all along the line. unfortun-
ateIy, the State primary law places
the nomination of a candidate for
United States Senator in the gen
eral election instead of i'll the Au-
gust primary when the regular
ticket is nominated This prOlOngs
the contest for the nomination of
Senator throughout the campaign
up to the general election, and pre-
cipitates personal rivalry within
party lines that weakens the work
that should be wholly given for the
success of the ticket. This rivalry
in the last campaign, between the
friends of Senator Stone and Gov
ernor Folk, waxed so bitter that
they lost sight of everything else,
and to this fact as much us to any
other was due the defeat of our
candidates for Governor and Lieu
tenant Governor and the loss of
the electoral vote OF the State.
With several candidates in the
field next year for United States
Senatorial of them party leaders
aud aggressive campaigners-will
not the same conditions obtain
AS long as the primary law re
mains as it is, it is our judgment
that this matter of a Senatorial
nomination, and the ambition of
leaders to secure it, should be kept
in allegiance. Let the whole aggres-
sive force Of the party center upon
the election of Democratic Legis.
lature, and leave the selection of a
United States Senator to a party
caucus of Democratic State Sena-
tors and Representatives. 1t is
folly to endanger the success of the
whole State ticket and the legisla-
tive ticket as we'll by adhering to a
very foolish provision of the State
primary law.
