Jefferson City Letter.
Special correspondence.

Special correspondence.
Jefferson City. Sept. Is. That
a lively contest is to be waged
between the friends of Champ
Clark and Joe Folk for the Mis-
souri, delegation to the national
Democratic convention can no
longer be doubted. In fact. the
fight has commonwealth earnest.
Senator Stone discovered that
fact as soon as he returned from
Washington. Clark practically
approved it in his speech at the
great reception given him last
week at Louisiana. Folk through
his friends at his ST. Louis head
quarters has taken cognizance of
the storm signals and is getting
ing in trim for the scrimmage.
When Stone suggested a state
primary to determine who shall
have the endorsement of the
Missouri Democrats for presi-
dent. Clark or Folk. he started
something not anticipated by his
crowd. The Folk men came back
with the suggestion that another
matter might also be submitted
to vote in case a voluntary pri-
mary be held, to-Wit: the recall
of Stone They pointed out that
his nomination for senator in
1908 was open to serious suspl-
cion of fraud and that the Demo.
cratic party was dishonored by
it, and suggested that Stone
should seek vindication for his
own benefit and for the honor of
his party. That suggestion has
so much of the elements of hon
esty and sincerityin it thatit takes
precedence over Stones sugges-
tion of a voluntary primary to
determine whether Clark or Folk
shall be endorsed.
The question Stone would set
tie by a primary was settled a
year ago by a Democratic state
convention over which Clark pre-
sided when Folk was resolutely
and solemnly promised the sup
port of the Missouri delegation
for president. It was the con.
summation of a scheme to put Folk
out of the way of Reed and Fran
cis and thus to prevent his nom
ination for senator. Now Stone
and the Old Guard crowd are
seeking way to eliminate Folk
from both state and national
politics by an act of reputation
The Folk men are righteously
mad and propose to fight. Folk
will now have to be labeled as g
fighter or a football for Demo
cratic politicians.
