Although a new national party was
born in 1912, the intense excitement
did not bring out more voters i'll Mis-
souri,; instead, the number decreased
by more than 1900 votes. The In
dependent and Peoples parties did
not have a ticket in this state in 1872.
The small parties that had candi-
dates gained surprisingly. The Social
lists. who made the most remarkable
gain, received about 81 per cent more
votes than in 1908. The major parties
each received about $1,000 fewer votes
in 1912, counting the PrOgressives as
a part of the Republicans; if the Re
publican and Progressive votes of
1912 are added together, they exceed
the Democratic votes by nearly 1000.
In 1914. the Progressive vote dwindled.
What will become of the remaining
Progressives is yet TO be seen.

Moreover. relations have been
