address to the Democracy of Missouri,
issued today Senator William j. stone
discusses the work Of the Wilson admin
istration, renewing former declarations of
policy in complete accord with the pro-
gram of the President. The Senator said:
"TO THE DEMOCRATS OF MISSOURI:
In view of the legislative and diplo-
matte situation at the capital II Is I'M
portant that Democratic Senators espe-
cially should not be long absent from
Washington while this Congress is in
session, and hence ii Will be impracucable
for me to make anything like Il general
canvass of the state before ;he primary
election While l hope to be able to 90
10 Missouri for awhile III July Tor Dricf
visit to as many sections Of the state as
possible, 1t remains certain that 1t VIII be
difficult. for me 10 do more than make a
hurried and imperfect campaign. AS /
am asking he people OF missouri L. re-
new lly commission as Senator for an
other trim, | regret that the cXlScHcic$
OF the public service forbid my absence
from Washington long enough to allow
me to go over the state, me.t the people
generally and personally confer with
them respecting TIC work done and to be
done during this admin+irLtl"n NS /
cannot do that, except in a limited way.
without nCSleCtinS very urS"IL p'uilc
duties. l have thought l might. without
criticism, address a Cummu4I"at ion to the
people in Il public way, ana largely leave
my personal fortunes in their hands.
