more than an hour Mr.. King talked
on good roads to the farmers and fol;

such an interest and asked SO many
questions about the work that it was
late in the day before Mr.. King went
out to demonstrate on one of the
Hamilton roads. The speaker was in

found that this Miracle Wheat"

yields less per acre than almost any

not prevent its being continued as a

WASHINGTON, Nov. Under the
new apportionmcnt law the next Re-
publican National Committee will
consist OF 1904 delegates, or, in case
Arizona and New Mexico become
states. 1912 delegates.
| Missouri will have So delegates In
tho convention and Is votes in the
electoral college. The important thing
politically in Missouri next year will
be how those Is votes shall be cast.
The state in the last two presidential
elections delivered the electoral vote
to the Republican nominee, once to
Roosevelt and once to Taft. Doubt
exists this far in advance of the cleo
ton among Republicans of the state
of the ability to turn over the elector-
lal vote next year to the Republican
nominee. but it appears to be based
upon the apathy Of the Republicans
rather than upon any progress that
the Democrats have made.
Democrats Fought the Fill.
Missouri is more certainly a Taft
state today than any so-called doubt
full state of the Union There is less
insurgency among Republicans there
than in any other state of the Middle
West, and it is difficult for an outsid-
err to understand why here should be
doubt about the electoral vote be-
ing given to Mr.. Tart, who undoubt-
edly will be the nominee of his party.
The vote is there, and the incentive
for keeping Missouri in the Republi-
can column would seem strong
enough to bring it out.
Missouri Democrats in congress
fought to the last ditch the reappor-
tionment bill passed by the special
session of congress. They fought to
the last ditch the amendment offered
by Representative Barthold, which
left the matter to the decision of the
people through the initiative and ref
erendum by striking out Of the bill
the words tby the Legislature there
Of" yet Democratic Legislature had
adopted the initiative and referen-
dunn in Missouri. The Democratic
representatives and senators from
Missouri were for the initiative and
referendum at home, but opposed it
in Washington, and it was only
Through the persistence Of the Repub-
i lican congressman from Missouri
that the matter was left open to the
people. The performance of the
Missouri Democratic congressional
delegation is being repeated now in
Missouri by the grand-stand demands
iof the Folk and Clark adherents for
a primary. which probably will never
be held, and which both sides to the
controversy hope never will eventu
late.
