DEMOCRATIC HARMONY.

The Harmony meeting at Kansas
City last Saturday, jackson day, was
all that Democrats of the state could
desire and was disappointment only
to those who desire the party's dis
ruption. Fully one thousand repre-
sentative democrats from every Sec
ton, representing every disturbing
element heretofore existing in the
party and all were imbued with the
determination to bury all differences
and work to the success of the party
in the future. The meeting was un-
der the jurisdiction of the state com.
mittee, and a program was arranged
whereby every faction was recooniz-
ed by its strongest men and all given
and equal hearing. Speeches were
made by Dockery and Reed, Folk and
Fancis and all expressed a determine.

Some Facts Promised.

Speaking of the candidacy of Mr..
Griffith, the Globe-Democrat says:
"As a friend of protected American
wages and industries Mr.. Griffith will
present some facts that the thoughtful
voters of the district will find unan-
swerable. We await with breath
less interest the presentation of those
.unanswerable facts" by Brother
Griffith. The truth of the matter is
that the supporters of the protective
tariff do not present "facts" in sup
port OF that monstrous system of
legalized ROBBERY at all. They rely
on or the juggling Of figures, sopbistly,
falsehood and the ignorance of the
voters. Review.

Hasn't a Ghost of a Chance.
Republic.


Up to date the only asset which the
Republicans of the Sixth Missouri
District have developed is the alleged
personal popularity of Candidate
Griffith, who is standing, not run
ming, on platform which claims that
all the bounties of Providence are due
to the beneficence of the Republican
party. Even the national organiza-
tons of the Republican party, from
whose help so much was expected,
are backward about coming forward
to his aid. Against the aggressive
campaign which the Democrats are
preparing to make in the district
Candidate Griffith hasn't ghost of a
chance to win.

CANNON URGED TO QUIT.
Regulars Advise Him Party Will
Suffer If He Sticks.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 9.-If he
heeds the advice of numerous Repub-
lican regular" Congressman who
are appealing to him one after the
other, Speaker Cannon will soon
publicly announce that he will not
again be a candidate for Speaker of
the House of Representatives.
Cannon is being told that if he per-
sists, and allows himself to be made
the issue in the coming congressional
election, the Republican party will will be be
defeated and a Democratic House
will be elected.
Not many of these REGULARS" are
willing as yet openly to take the field
against Cannon. In Ohio, however,
where conditions in Republican ranks
are very bad, Two Republican Con-
gressmen have been compelled to de-
clare themselves. The one is How
land, who comes from a Cleveland
district, and the other is Ned Taylor,
whose constituency confers in Column
bus, the capital of the State. How
land suddenly has become an out-and-
out insurgent of the most rampant
kind. Taylor blossomed forth with
an interview in which he announced
that if he is member of the House,
he will oppose Cannon for the Speak
ership in the caucus. Taylor is an
old member of the House and an or
ganization man in every sense of the
word. His frank explanation of his
course is that, though he likes Gun
Gle joe very much, nevertheless, he
finds it necessary to throw him over
board.
AT various times it has been report
ed that Cannon has decided not to
run again. Cannon has denied every
one OF them. However, it seems
practically certain that he will be COM
PEELED, before the present session of
Congress ends, to make a declara-
ton.
The Republican congressional cam
paign has openly begun work against
the insurgents. The plan adopted is
to make President Taft the issue
against them. The committee is get
ting out "boiler-plate" letter which
it distributes to Republican newspa-
pers for use Monday mornings. This
subsidized matter of to-day contains
many slams at Victor Murdock, Sena-
tor LaFollette and Senator Bristow-
insurgent leaders. The letters at
tempt to have it appear that these
men are fighting Taft. A long COM
munication from a Missouri editor to
a Senator is quoted, in which the Mis-
sourian complains that the LaFollette
Magazine is being sent free to the
Democratic editors Of Missouri coun-
try newspapers.

Schoolgirls Prefer Gauzy Hose
to Skates.

Columbia; Mo-, Jan. 9.-Because
the girls at Christian College refuse
to abandon peek-a-boo waists and
drop-stitch stockings, the new So, ZOO
artificial lake, on one corner of the
college grounds, may be sold. The
lake was built to furnish skating for
the girls. Skating in peek-a-boo's
and drop-stitch hosiery doesn't ap-
peal to them, nor are they so enthu-
siastic over skating that they are will
ing to give up the drop-stitch peek-a-

best who laughs last. Harrison s
and James teams were hitched
near each other at the time of the
theft, and when Harrison
went to his wagon he missed
something, too, the same thief,
evidently, had taken his three pair

pants also gone. But just the
same, James is still having fun
