HARMONIOUS
REPUBLICANS
COUNTY CONFERENCES HELD IN
MAY INDICATE PARTY sue.
CESS IN NOVEMBER.
state and National Administrations
Heartily Endorsed, Hadley Com
pllmented and state organ
lzation Approved.

In more than three.fourths Of the
IA counties Of Missouri committee
meetings and conferences, composed
OF delegates from townships, were
held during the month OF May. Most
OF the conferences we're held on May
q. the day suggested by the State
Committee. Some county committees
had met aud attended to the matters
suggested by the State Committee
prior to the call for conferences and
in several counties conferences were
held before or after May 81. IL 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 lew 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 Fl
local party interests we're canyassed
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 humber
Of the conferences, and the work OF
the State Committee was heartily APP
proved. Throughout the entire state
the conferences took cOgniance OF
state issues and made 1t plain that
the campaign for a better and greater
Missouri viii enlist Republicans more
thgn 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 II. 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 mum
Der and seem poor in spirit. There
are plenty of pro.sressiyes who want
the party TO go forward in dealing
with the live isstIes Of the day but
they are not read Y TO join with Dem
ocratic leaders "a to permit them
selves to be led BIZ such leaders.
A few Of the e xpressions indicative
Of party sentime nt may be noted
without dispareGing. or detracting
from, what was proclaimed by Repub-
hcans Of other counties.

tered az the CoAe county conference,
