| either of them. The united militant
Democracy of the imperial state, is
now only awaiting the dawn of Novem-
Der to show it's loyalty to the men
nominated by the historic convention
at Baltimore.
1t has often been said that any man
can be a good winner, but only a real
man can be a good loser. The Mis-
! souri, Democrat belongs in the latter
classification.
/ Not only was this made evident
when Speaker Clark FASTENED to con-
graduate his successful rival after the
Baltimore victory had been announced
for the New Jersey man, but on more
than one occasion Missouri Democrats
have shown their manhood in local
scraps.
When Mr.. Clark bested Former Gov
ernor Joseph W. Folk in the fight for
the Missouri presidential Endorsement.
Mr. Folk was the first to extend the
hand of good fellowship. When Folk
beat James A. Reed for the guberna-
torial nomination, Reed didn't sulk,
but put his shoulder to the wheel and
helped elect Folk by 10000 in the year
that Roosevelt carried the state by
$4,000.
Later when Folk, aspired to succeed
William ]. Stone in the United States
Senate, only to suffer his first defeat
at the hands of the Old Roman, now
one of the real fighters on the Demo
cratic side at Washington, he spurned
the suggestion of designing RepubIi-

st. Louis, Sept 21.-What will Mis-
souri, do in the presidential election?
This question, frequently asked by
students of politics, is easily answered
Missouri will give Woodrow Wilson
eighteen electoral votes.
Anyone who doubts this prediction
may verify it by dropping into any
city or hamlet in the SHOW Me-
state. And the ninth congressional
district, which Champ Clark has rep
resented with honor and distinction
at Washington for many years, is not
barred in the investigation.
The bloody NINTH" as it has been
called since the terrific battle for SUI
premacy between Mr.. Clark and Col.
Dick Norton nearly a quarter of a
century ago, has never failed to roll
up a majority for the Democratic ma
tional standard bearer and it won't
fall behind this year.
There are no factions in Missouri
now to hinder the progress of Gov.
Wilson there. Internal discussions,
coupled with local conditions, lost the
state to Mr.. Bryan in 1908 by a plurali-
ty of only 629 out of 693,777 votes cast.
Family differences also cost Judge
Parker the state in 1904.
These sore spots have been removed
and even the most optimistic Republi-
can or Third Term party man must
admit that there is little comfort for

cans that he contest Stones election
in the primary, before the Legislature
Every friend of mine" he said
will vote for Senator Stone in the
Legislature, as every Democrat is
morally bound to do"
This ringing declaration from the
then governor, whose popularity ex
tended into every corner of the state
quickly put the quietus on the opposi
ton forces who thought they sawgthe
prospects of bolt.
TWO years later an equally hot sena-
torial fight resulted in the election of
James A. Reed over Former Governor
David r. Francis. The latter, who
had shown his bigness by filling with
honor the presidency of the st. Louis
Worlds Fair and a portfolio in the
cabinet of President Cleveland, accept
ed the result and repeated Folks
statement when the same Republican
element sought to overthrow the will
of the majority as expressed at the
polls.
There are no small men in the
Democracy of Missouri. They present
ed strong front at Baltimore, fought
the best fight they knew, but when
they lost they stepped with stalwart
stride itno the path made by Champ
Clark to Seagirt and today every man
of them, each of whom is an idol in
his particular sphere, is on the firing
line for Wilson and Marshall.
Mr.. Clark is on the stump: Reed,
who placed Clark in nomination at
Baltimore, is ably directing an impor-
tant department in the western Demo-
cratic national headquarters at Chi
cago; Francis, through his great news
paper, the ST. Louis Republic, is firing
broadsides into the common enemys
camp, and Stone is lending his wisdom
and voice to the cause he has fought
for in countless campaigns.
Folk is in the thick of the fray.
Wilson is our kind of a man." he
wrote to a friend, when asked his
opinion of the action at Baltimore.
For a time some deluded persons in
the Third Term party thought they
could induce Folk to accept the Sec
ond place on the Bull Moose ticket. |
The great reformer did not leave the |
Third Termers long in doubt. His fiat |
refusal to join their ranks, even to |
accept doubtful honor, crushed the
hopes of Roosevelt and his followers
for the formation of a non-partisan
rather than a remnant Republican or
ganization.
Since 1904 Missouri has been consid
cred a pivotal state, as much so as
which split it's electoral in
1908. Political sages, however, fore
see the complete passing of the
Mysterious Stranger" this year.
Even the New York Herald, never a
democratic supporter, has put Mis-
souri, on the Democratic side in its
'ecently published presidential cam
oaign map.

ouri has disheartened the combined

KEYSTONE TAFT MEN
MAY UPSET T. R. PLAN

PHILADELPHIA, July 31.-Henry
G. WATSON, Flinn-Roosevelt State
chairman, in his efforts to get the
support of Republican candidates fob
the State Legislature for the Finn
Roosevelt State platform, is not meet
ing with much encouragement here.
Local Republicans say reports re-
ceived from the State at large indi-
cate there will be no trouble in re-
converting the State convention in
August for the purpose of straighten-
ing out the electoral tangle and re-
writing the platform.
Should the State convention be re-
convened the program probably would
comprehend binding the present cleo
tors to Taft or substituting Taft men
for the Roosevelt men; rewriting the
platform to harmonic it with the
national platform; reforming the
State committee so as to have the
control of that body vested in the
Taft men; deposing WATSON as State
chairman and electing a chairman
who has no alliance with William
Finn; recalling Young and Powell,
the Finn candidates for State treas
urer and auditor-general, and nomi-
mating Taft regulars in their places.

NEBRASKA REPUBLICANS
SPLIT OVER CONTESTS

LINCOLN, Neb., July 31.-Republi-
cans of Nebraska have split, holding
two conventions, selecting two State
central committees, and paving the
way for two State tickets to be voted
for in November.
The break came yesterday after the
executive committe of the old State
central committee had seated a ma
jority of the Progressive delegates
whose seats had been contested by
the followers of President Taft. This
gave the Roosevelt Progressive fac
ton control of the convention.
The P~rogressives selected Governor
Aldrich as chairman. He ruled out
of order a resolution declaring the
test of Republicanism to be fealty to
the national ticket.
The ruling caused an uproar and
protests, and when Chairman Aldrich
insisted on adhering to it more than
$50 Tart delegates, more than half
the Taft total strength in the con-
vention, left the hall and the con-
testing Progressive delegates marched
in and took their places.

WILL TRY LIGHT SCHEME
ON DEFECTIVE PUPILS

NEW YORK, July 31.-The New
York Board of Education is expected
to authorize a trial of a Swedish
scheme for electrifying schoolrooms,
thereby producing extraordinary re-
suits from the pupils,% The expert
ment, which has met with success in
Stockholm. will be tried on a room
in which a class of defective pupils
were being taught.
The electrificator wires in the walls
of the classroom will be charged with
high frequency currents. The plan
will be to have two classrooms, as
nearly alike as possible. one eIectri-
fed and the other not, each to have
the anne number of pupils. At the
end of a certain period comparisons
will be made.
