ter being fully and freely dis
cussed. The opinion of Attorney.
General Major was that the leg
stature had a right in certain
instances, but that there was no
authority Of law warranting an
inquiry into the contest as a
whole. So when the matter was
brought before the joint Assem-
bly, for disposition, the resolu-
ton not to go into the contest
was unanimously adopted. This
was on the advice of the party
leaders throughout the state, and
there is no discord in the party
over the termination. However,
a law giving the Legislature the
right to dispose Of similar con
tests will be passed this session.

with A MOVE on"
Clubs Motto Tells the Kind OF a
Conservative Gov. Wood
row Wilson Is.


row Wilson Is.
"A Conservative With a Move
On. This is the motto of the Wood
row Wilson for President Club of
Missouri, according to a story in the
Kansas City Times 1t Is the fea-
ture line on the clubs stationery and
Newton C. Gillham, the clubs pres
ident, has designed button with
this motto.
Mr.. Gillian said 1T is well to
have someone at the old ship of
state who may be relied upon to
conserve the interests of the people
and yet who is continually advanc-
ing said interests of said people.
"A progressive is one who is NOV
Ing forward continually; who Is ad-
yancing. A conservative Is one who
refuses to move until he knows that
he Is right, or, one who retains, even
at the expense of progress, existing
institutions ad customs. Now, we
like to have our existing institutions
and customs retained; that is, we do
mot like to have them wantonly
abused, removed or overridden. And,
too. we like to progress, for without
progression there must necessarily
be stagnation
What have we in a conservative
with a move on that is to say, In
Governor Wilson? Just this, one
who knows he is right and goes
ahead, advances, progresses, pre-
serves and conserves. He is all a
progressive is and more too. He
is all that a conservative stands for
and even more. He conserves as he
advances. But get this distinction,
ne knows he is right and goes
ahead"
