American prosperity is due to

since become law.

actual panic. The threat to tie
up the nations com merce. to
check all transportation, to shut
off great comm unities from sup.
plies, with distress, possibly
starvation, as the result came
squarely face to face with the
country. Yet there was little
general alarm. There was no
sort of panic. The matter was
not widely talked about even.
Why?
The American people knew
that they had at the head of the
government a man devoted to
their interests, one with a cool
head and strong arm, one who
would make their concern his
own. They knew that if human
skill and human will could avert
a strike, it would be averted.
They knew that he was on the
job every minute and that moth.
ing escaped him.
He is their sentinel on the
tower, their garrison of defense.

REMEM 1910.

The St. Louis registration of
1910 was, up to that time, the
largest over recorded in that
city. 1t presaged Republican
victory. The expected happened.
But Missouri could have been
saved to the Democratic party in
that election if the Democrats in
the country had gone to the
polls. Enough of them stayed at
home in the big Democratic coun-
ties to permit the enormous St.
Louis registration to accomplish
it's purpose.
Today we are again confronted
with the same proposition. Once
more we have a St. Louis regis.
tration larger than ever, larger,
even, than in 1910. 1t can mean
but one thing. Let the country
Democrats be warned in time.
Remember 1910.
st. Louis does not contain
enough Republican votes to carry
this State Republican, if the boys
in the country will do their duty.
In 1908 the stay at,home vote of a
single Democratic county would
have carried the State. In 1910
the stay at home vote of five
Democratic counties would have
saved this state to Democracy.
Let there be no stay-at, home
vote this year. The welfare of
the nation is at stake. Demo,
cratic Missourians must do their
duty.
