Mexico Missouri message. (Mexico, Audrain County, Mo.) 1899-1918, 1911-03-09

Senator Bailey of Texas is not
our kind of Democrat. He is
against the initiative and referen-
dun and the recall, measures cal
culated to give the people control
Of their own affairs-and last
Saturday because Senator Stone
Of Missouri and other Demo
cratic Senators opposed him in
these things he got mad and re-
signed. In his later and more
sober moments he reconsidered
and worked the recall on himself,
withdrew his offer of resignation
We think about as much of Bailey
as we do of his friend and col
league Lorimer of Illinois-we
think more than we dare say
both are against the people and
the peoples interests at every
step and turn. There ought to be
some means of recall that both OF
them could be put into private life
and kept there safely forever.

and at Centralia, in 1862.


Returning to his former home
he served an enlistment in the
Union army March 20, 1862, he
was married to Elizabeth Jane
FARES. Of Washington county,
Ohio. coming of another sterling,
pioneer family of that region. Of
this union there were born eight
children, six sons and two daugh-
tiers. Two of these, Myron A. and
Edward w., were born before
coming to Missouri, the others,
Loring ", John L., George H.:
Julia E., Sarah l.. and William
W., were born at the old home
stead. Sarah and William died
in infancy and are buried at Rock
Hill cemetery, northeast of Mex
leo, and Julia died in 1907, as re-
ferred to above. so there remains
the five oldest sons, who, true to
the pioneer spirit of their ances-
tors, have pushed on westward
and now reside on the Pacific
slope.
This, in brief, is an outline of
his outward life; Of his inner life
of the character and spirit of this
man, it were more fitting to
speak.
Those who looked for the last
time upon the thin, worn features
as he lay peacefully in his
casket must have been Impressed
by the almost regal expression,
the imprint of the soul that had
striven through all the years OF
his life toward the attainment of
the lofty ideals of his nature
Those who knew him in life
gladly bear testimony of his per.
sonal worth.
Measured by worldly stand
ards. he was denied the dis
tlnctlon of wealth or public
eminence In his best estate he
was prosperous farmer but
suffered reverses in the depression
of 1893 from which he never
fully recovered. intellectual
ability he had and noble aspira
tons but was always restrained
in his ambitions by lack of physi
cal stregnth and his later year,
were spent in a struggle against
ill health. Yet it was permitted
him to leave an impression on tn,
community in which he lived thai
will abide.
In the early development of thu
material welfare of this county
in the early encouragement ant
growth of public school sentiment
III the county. in the early organi
cation and lifelong devotion t.
the Sunday school in the county
in the dissemination of patriotism
and love of good music, and by
his Christian life and example, b,
has rendered a service that com
mends him to the love and mem
DRY of his fellow citizens.
1t seems fitting that he SHOULD
be laid to rest in the beautiful
cemetery at the county seat.

SOCIALISTS BEGIN
 ID FIGHT GOMPERS
Introduce Resolution for Referendum and Recall
 in Elections

Atlanta, November 17.-Socialists in the American Federation of Labor con venton have begun their "insurgent" movement against the present admin istration of the federation. The first open sign of hostilities during the pres ent convention appeared today in the printed record which showed a reso- lution proposing that the federation adopt the initiative and referendum in l the election of officers. The resolu- ton, which has been referred to the committee on law, was offered by Del egate Joseph Proebstte of the Inter national Brewery Workers of America, but 1t is understood that it has the support of all the socialists in the con vention. about 50 in number.
 It provides for the nomination of candidates to elective offices by dele- gates to the convention. the names to be placed on ballots, which are to be sent to every affiliated international, national and federal labor union. These organiza tions would conduct the cleo tion and forward ballots to the feder- ation headquarters to be counted by a committee of four.
 As 1t would require a constitutional amendment to accomplish this end, pro ponents of the resolutions are not san guine of its adoption, a one-third vote being sufficient to defeat it.
 A meeting of the socialists was held tonight behind closed doors. to out line programme. It is understood they will lend their support to "all pro- gressive" legislation propositions.
 The resolutions to appropriate $50, 900 for the defense of the McNamaras was introduced by Delegate A. J. Galla- gher of California last night, 10 min utes before midnight, and the last hour at which resolutions could be offered It was referred to the committee on presidents report. It Is regarded as almost certain that this resolution will precipitate big fight on the floor of the convention.
 The convention was in session for two hours this morning hearing ad- dresses by fraternal delegates. An early adjournment was taken to permit the various committees to get down to work Shortly thereafter the adjust ment committee took up the dispute between the carpenters and building trades department in the hope of ar ranging an amicable settlement.
