present and passing year. Po-
litieally, it commemorates and
marks the Birth Of the Progress
s'ye party, the suicide and death
Of the Republican party, and the
resurrection and enthronement of
the never dying Democratic
party.
With the exception Of the mar
Vicious and unparalleled achieve

of representatives in the 62nd
congress, the year of 1912 was a
time Of promises made, and pied

sour and the nation as well re-
affirmed their faith and belief il
the ability, wisdom and integrity
Of the Democratic party to man
age the affairs of a great state
and nation, and to solve world
problems.
The year 1913 brought a great
harvest of achievements, marvel
GUS in rapidity and far-reaching
in effects, both in the state and
nation. It might be well for
the Democratic party to hesitate
long enough to ''take stock" see
what has been done, and what
remains to be done. That we
Fave kept faith with the people
and hewn hard the lines Of our

We have only begun our work.
Nine months have passed since we
took charge Of the government

that those nine months OF Demo-

quired tact, patience and wisdom,

the world. At the same time,
we have been constructing the
Panama Canal, and will celebrate
its completion in 1915 under
Democratic rule and supervision,
so we have a right to rejoice at
this season of the year.
In state affairs, we have a ma
tive born Missouri Democrat as
goyernor-Elliott w. Major, who
was born in her domain and
loves her rocks and rills with ma
tive pride. He has been tried
and tested by the people and
never found wanting. His great
est duty and desire is to serve
his state and his people. The
Democratic state convention
promised and pledged:

more than 50, 100000 was spent

was fitting, and now the Major

American states. Nor is this
all. Governor Major Will not
cease until each state receives aid
from the national government

our governor was the first exc

AGAINST PROFESSIONALS.
A: A. U. Will Not Sanction Compe-
tition With Amateurs.

NEW YORK, January 3i.-The official
attitude of the Amateur Athletic Union
in reference to the proposal that anna
teur and professional be permitted to
compete in track and field competition
under special sanction is explained by
Alfred J. ILL., president of the union, as
follows:
THE success Of the Amateur Athletic
Union and its steady growth for the past
twenty-five years can be attributed, for
the most part. to the strict adherence to
the policy of segregatins the amateur
from the professional athlete. The idea.
could only originate in the minds OF
those who seek something for nothing.
and in connection with this matter it is
evident that the amateur athlete has
never had anything. and can never have
anything, gained by competing with a
professional. The aims and purposes of
each are at distinct variance with each
other

which black gains the attack in the

too much to say that white never had a

who are wintering in New York are
awaiting anxiously the dates for the rae
ing season, which probably will not be
issued by the Jockey Club for several
weeks yet. The assertion was made yes
terday by a man well acquainted with
the situation that the racing men
would have nothing to complain of when
the schedule is made up. The officials
have about made up their minds that the
only way to obtain high-class sport is to
hold races on every day of the week in
stead of three or four times a week, the
custom that prevailed last year.
