copy the following figures from the

When we scrutinize the above in
connection with the immnnSa daht
left to the Democratic party we can
realize what a benefit Democracy has
been to the people of the state. The
Democratic Governors have made
the above possible by applying the
principles of the Democratic party to
the affairs of state. Besides paying
off this great debt, they have con-
stantly reduced the taxation, until
Missouri has the lowest tax rate of
any state in the union
We can all point with pride to the
above accomplishments, and with the
record of forty years behind us, every
page of which sparkles with service
for the people of the state, should stir
strongest efforts to see that the ma
jority for the ticket in November is
as large as possible.
Unfortunately, ten years ago there
came a split in the Democratic ranks,
when there sprang up a serious rival
ry between what vas known as the

GOVERNMENT OF STATE IS
STRICTLY BUSINESS PROPOSITION
Houchin's Policy Would Check Drain
on the Taxpayers-Try 1t
and Observe Results

When Jul great warships returned
from the trip around the world many
of them were dry locked. They ran
in and there, clinging to their sides
were tons and tons of dead weight,
%retarding their speed, using more fuel
and requiring more energy from their
great engines. Many a business has
failed because of the same dead
weight.
IF it be true that Missouri has gone
back, that she has failed to keep pace
with her sister states, perhaps the old
ship Of state has been retarded by
dead weight and needs to go back to
the old ways, those ways from which
she emerged forty years ago, and, for
thirty years, w~eathered every storm,
met every conflict, and was fighting
her way to the front until we, the
voters Of Missouri, manned her, ten
years ago, with a mixed crew.
Will Apply Business Principles

ernor of Missouri that | might apply
those principles to the management
of the affairs of state, that have
served me so well in business. l will
conduct the office of Governor just
as it has been my custom to conduct
my business. No office beyond that
has any attraction for me. All | de-
sire is the opportunity to lift Mis-
souri, from sixth place to which she
has descended, to fifth place; and as
much higher as the combined efforts
and energies of loyal Missourians,
working solely for the interests Of
Missouri, can raise her. No state in
the union has more advantages than
Missouri. Let us cultivate them to
the very best of our abilities.
"You have tried lawyers for Gov
ernor. Now is the time to try a bust

must devote his time to his business

my business and am now ready to

sacred work of using my commercial
knowledge in the management of the
big Missouri corporation. If exclusive
devotion to that work can bring sue

MISSOURI MOST PROSPEROUS
UNDER DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT
James A. Houchin, as Governor, Would
Strengthen the Democratic
Party's Prestige

The political history of Missouri,
taking in the period from the end of
the civil wal to the present time. were
1t possible to give a succinct and &C.
curate record of the events, would no
doubt prove a most interesting work.
But with the meager facilities the
writer has for obtaining accurate data
on the early part of the period it can
only be given in a general way.
Missouri emerged from the civil wal
devastated and broken Sin spirit and
body" so to speak, having been raw
aged by both armies in that terrible
conflict. Missouri had many soldiers
on both sides of the fence. The drain
on her had been severe and the affairs
of state were indeed in a deplorable
condition.
Gov. Claiborn F. Jackson, who was
elected in 1860, served but a short
while when hostilities broke out be-
tween the states, and he cast his lot
with the South. At a convention held
on July 10, 1861, Hamilton R. Gam
BILE of st. Louis was chosen Governor.
He died January 81, 1864, and the then
Lieutenant Governor, Willard P. Hall,
of Buchanan county, was elected Gov
ernor. In 1864 Thomas G. Fletcher
of st. Louis was elected Governor.
He was succeeded by Joseph w. Nc
Clurg of Camden in 1868. During
the latter administration there arose
differences between those in the lead
of the Republican party which ended
in a bolt by B. Gratz Brown in 1872.
The Democratic party had up to
this time been in a hopeless condi-
ton. They espoused the cause of
Brown, and with the dissatisfied ele-
ment of the Republican party at the
time, elected B. Gratz Brown Gov
ernor. This proved to be the open
ing wedge to success, and at the next
election they were successful.
The success of Gov. Brown gave
the Democracy of the state a hope
for success, and the old warriors be-
gan a struggle with an eye single to
this end, and in 1874 Silas Woodson
OF Buchanan county, the first Demo-
crat after the war, was elected Gov
ernor of Missouri. He found the
state in a worse condition financially
from the few years of Republican rule,
