NOW FOR VICTORY.

The announcement of Mr.. Folk
that he is not candidate for the
Presidency and that he intends to
give his support to Mr.. Clark for the
nomination, removes the last possible
obstacle to complete Democratic har-
mony in the state and more firmly
unites the party in the common cause.
There now remains no reason why
Missouri Democracy should not win a
glorious victory at the polls this fall,
and it behoves every Democrat to get
on the firing line and remain there
until Missouri shows to her sister
states that she is safely Democratic
and intends remaining so.
