of delegates from townships, were
held during the month of May, Most
of the conferences were held on May
81, the day suggested by the state
Committee. Some county committees
had met and attended to the matters
suggested by the State Committee
prior to the call fer conferences inc
In several counties conferences were
held before or after May q. 1t may
be stated that in every county where
party interests demanded ACTIVITY
prior to the last day for filing the
names of candidates for the primary
election ballot the party leaders met
and took cognizance OF party inter-
ests. and there are few vacant places
on the Republican primary election
ballots. In the districts also party
committeeman arranged to have ac-
ceptable candidates on the ballots.
AT the conferences held May 81
local party interests were canvassed
and party sentiment expressed. The
administration OF Governor Hadley
was generously approved and In sew
eral counties he was splendidly com
plimented. State Chairman Walter S.
Dickey was gratefully mentioned in
the resolutions adopted by a number
of the conferences. and the work OF
the State Committee was heartily APP
proved. Throughout the entire state
the conferences took cognizance OF
state issues and made it plain that
the campaign for a better and greater
Missouri will enlist Republicans more
than National issues, though there
was emphatic endorsement of the
National administration and OF the
new tariff law. AS FAR as reported
not a single resolution was adopted
that indicates ~antagonism to the Ma
tional administration or any man con-
nected with it. OF course there are
Republicans in Missouri who have
more or less sympathy with the con-
tentions of Republican insurgents at
Washington, but they are few in num-
Der and seem poor in spirit, There
are plenty of progressives who van
the party to go forward in dealing
with the live issues of the day, but
they are not ready to join with Dem
ocratic leaders or to permit them
selves to be led by such leaders.
A few of the expressions indicative
of party sentiment may be noted
without ~disparaging,, or detracting
from, what was proclaimed by Repub'
licans Of other counties.
There was not an insurgent note ut
tered or the Cole county conference
although the discussions ran the
gamut from National affairs to the
seleotion Of good men to u fol
, county offices. In Boone county
where there are only 2,100 Republican
votes. the leaders said, W will pu
