UNITY ASSURED.
National Committee viii Find a
Way TO RarmOnize the Party.
Missouri Republicans will Not Be Recall
citrant- Progressive Party Leaders
Cannot Erthuse Followers Who are
at Heart Republicans.

St. Louis, June Q There are few
republicans in Missouri who doubt the
outlook of their party but those who
keep posted know that the way is
opening for party harmony and unity
not only in Missouri but throughout
the nation. Newspaper reports oiwhat
was done at the meeting Of the ex'
ecutive committee oil the republican
national committee at Washington,
May oath, gave only what was out
wardly known. The main fact con-
nected with that meeting has reassured
the republicans of the nation-the fact
that a meeting OF the full national
committee was provided for, TO be held
early next fall, when the interests oi
the party will be conserved. A ma
jority of the committee will attend the
meeting with definitely fixed purpose
to remove exery hindrance to har-
monious and enthusiastic onward march
OF reunited republican hosts. Small
indeed will be any matter that cannot
and will not be adjusted by the national
committee, which is the executive
body Of the party organization, clothed
with ample authority to adjust any dill
ficulties that may be found in the way
Of the reunion and rehabilitation Of the
party. Distractions are TO be removed.
The way 10 party success is to be
cleared and any man who believes in
the doctrines taught and the policies
proposed by the great political organ
ization iamiliarly termed The G, 0.
P" will not have TO be coaXed, He
will answer the roll call and stand in
line for the greatest battle the party
has ever waged.
Leaders Of the so-called progressive
party will have to do better work in
the next several months than they
have been doing or they will not be
able to prevent general dissolution
OF their organization. lu iact--and
this is no Secret-all but a few rad
icals in thar organization have seen in
the trend Of late political events such
indications Of reunited and aggressive
republican party and they are SC
truly republican at heart themselves
that they cannot manifest such spirit
Of antagonism as they have heretofore
displayed. They know full well thai
the highest and best interests Of the
country demand a strong, united anC
experienced party 10 combat the fal
lacies, lollies and purposes Of the dan
gerous democracy now in power. Be
ing republicans they cannot enthust
over a new party that can only preyen
republican victory. II the republican
party is started on a new career, will
things complained Of no longer in III,
way these progressives will simply be
come progressive republicans ard vii
stand shoulder TO shoulder with thei
brethren who sustained the republican
party in 1912.
In the onward movement now il
progress the republicans oil Missouri
will play an important part. Dissensio.
and party strife will not develop i
this state to any serious degree. Mis-
souri republicans have their IavoIire:
OF course, but their prime idvorite
the party itself. They are in no moo
to indulge in a scrap. They hav
seen their own state seiz D. ty th
enemy Of what they regard as goo
government. They have seen Ire

fhe fact that all republicans must stan
together to elect senator and a IA
proportion Of the members OF the geI

gressmen in 1914 and state admin
