Will Folk follow BIand2

Not many years ago Silver
Dick" Bland became so popular
with honest Missouri Democrats
that he was a menace to the Old
Guard leaders who were then par.
ceiling out all offices and polit;-
cal honors in sight. They tried
to get rid of him by changing
the boundaries of his cong .es-
sional district and thus putting
him on the shelf. but that
scheme failed. The people were
talking about electing him gov
ernor and he was in line for cleo
tion to the United States Senate,
when the Old Guard leaders sug-
gested that he be put forward
as the Missouri Democratic can-
didate for president. A state
convention was held for that
purpose. Bill" Stone was
named as special agent of the
Missouri Democracy to foster
the -for-president boom.
1t doomed alright apparently
because Mr.. Bland had a nation
alreputation as an honest states
man, but at Chicago it collapsed
as soon as the wiley politicians
found a chance to drop it and
make terms for party prestige
and leadership. The Old Guard
leaders in Missouri went on with
their game and Mr.. Bland was
eliminated from state politics.
Former Governor Folk is being
disposed of in the same way.
though he has two years of
grace in which to wake up. 1t
is already plain to political OBJ
servers that he has been put out
of the way of the Old Guard
leaders in state politics. That
he will ever be a leader in ma
tionai politics is to be seriously
doubted.
