RESULTS IN MISSOURI
YET MUCH IN DOUBT

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 2.-Rcsults OF the sec
ond primary election In Missouri which
waa held today. were IN doubt tonight
where more than one candidate sought
the party nomination. Returns were slow
and scattering.
Tho greatest interest centered in the
local contests between the leaders who
sought to control their parties through
committeeman, For a judge OF the su-
preme court and state superintendent of
schools, the Democrats, Republicans Pro
hlbitionists and Socialists fled but one
candidate each. Five Democrats fled for
state railroad and warehouse commi3-
other parties.
The vote throughout the state was light
and many voters scratched their tickets
freely. SIX OF the ten Democratic con-
grcssmen were rcnomnated without op-
position and two OF them have no OPP
position for election.
However. before the general election.

OF the insurgents came from is not known,
but 1t was probably because President TAFT
stood sponsor for the scheme and OPP
position to anything emanating from the
White House has become habitual with the
radical republicans.
To Make scheme Popular.
Ever since the president put forth his
idea for revision OF the tariff, schedule
by schedule. It has been thought that the
plan would be opposed by the insurgents
because Of their antagonism TO its author,
and while the plan was embodied in meas
ures introduced in the last congress not
only by insurgents. but also by moderate
conservatives, its support is doubtful.
The effect Of MIR. Reosevelts endorse
ment Of the plan Of Independent revision
will in large measure go to make the
scheme popular, will give 1t a greater fol-
lowing than could have otherwise been
looked for and should tins be the case,
the insurgents would undoubtedly swing
into line for It,
There was one serious difference between
them and President Taft. This point is the
nomination OF large non-partisan tariff
commission, designed for the purpose OF
extensive tariff investigation.
short Session had One.
The insurgents have always declined t
regard the tariff board as such a commits
sion, complaining specially of the fact tina
1t had no authority to call witnesses OF
administer oaths and from the further
fact that It had no authority to make it'
reports public but that 1t reported direc
to the president. and the he might, II h'
chose, keep the reports secret. Both o
these points were brought out on the floo
of the house last session and both the de
