Ripley County democrat. (Doniphan, Mo.) 1905-1920, 1914-10-02
Re- ELECT Stone Says Bryan.

OOhotOt hhoAA os ObShO Va
Missouri has been nominated by
the Democrats at the recent state
primary for q third election by a
majority over both his opponents
of about $4,000 and by plural
ity of about 10000. Up to
March, 1918, the democratic
party was in the minority in the
senate. During his service as a
minority member, Sc n o r
Stones work in opposing objec-
tionable measures urged by the
rep ublicans, and in striving in
the interests of the people for
constructive legislation along
democratic lines, won for him.
self an enviable position in the
esteem and confidence Of his COL
leagues iR the senate and of his
constituents in Missouri. Since
the incoming of President Will
son's administration, Senator
Stone has at all times been the
loyal friend Of the administration
and has rendered valuable servi-
ces in pushing forward the great
constructive work accomplished
during this period. He is at the
head Of the great committee on
foreign relations, and ranks next
to the chairman of the commit
tee on hnance-these being two
of the most important and pow
erful committees Of the senate
and he is also a member of sew
eral other important committees
charged with the consideration
of legislation of high moment to
the country. There should be
no doubt about his re- election.
1t is Of the highest Importance
that a democratic majority should
be maintained in both houses OF
congress, for if that should not
be SO it would make it impossible
for the President and Congress
to move op Independently and
unhampered in the great con-
structive work sill remaining to
be done. But even though both
houses remain democratic, the
defeat CT the senator from Mis-.
souri, would still be a distinct
loss. This is a time when the
country stands in special need of
the council ami service Of expe-
rienced and well tried public SER
wants, like the senator from Mis-
souri,. Let every democrat in
Missouri make it his business
to insure the reelection OF Sem
fator Stone.

Vote AS You Like-Take
Your Choice.

Jefferson City, Sept. S0.-The
9Th of the series Of arguments
on the measures to be submitted
to vote at the coming election
was issued today by secretary Of
state Cornelius Roach. Those
wishing to vote intelligently on
Amendments No. II and No. Il,
should pre- erve this article.
The sole purpose in giving these
arg dments is to furnish informa-
ton to the voter, and the Secre-
tary of state is in no way re-
sponsible for insertions made on
either side of any subject dis
cussed.
The champions of Proposition
No. II give the following reasons
why the measure should be
adopted:
The Excise Commissioner in st.
Louis, so far as granting of liq-
uor license is concerned, bears
the same relation to the city that
the county court in each county
bears to the county. 1t is the
source through which the liquor
traffic is governed. If the coun-
ty can select its county judges,
and does do it, then the city
should have the same power to
select its Excise Commissioner,
who performs the same duty rel
atiVe to the liquor traffic that is
performed by the county court.
Proposition No. II, which is
the "liome Rule Excise Bill"
passed by the last Legislature,
will be submitted to the voters of
tine state under the referendum,
while Proposition No, II is the
"Home Police Bill" Reasons
for sustaining one will apply with
equal force TO the other.
In addition to to the question
OF home rule involved, there is II
further argument to be advanced.
st. Louis has never wavered in
its support of State government.
With but one-fifth Of the popu-
lation of the State, the city pays
practically forty per cent of the
revenue to maintain the State
government. Also paying two
lifths of the taxes to maintain the
State government, the city has
but one-sixth of the representa-
tives in the State Senate. and
but one-ninth of the representa-
tion in the House OF Representa-
t:ves.
Surely, it the city OF St. Louis.
without complaining, thus liber-
ally supports the state govern
ment, it Is incumbent upon the
voters in all parts of Missouri to
assist S.. Louis in securing con-
troll of two of its important
branches Of government. Vote
for the "Home Rule Excise Bill".
