The Taney County republican. (Forsyth, Mo.) 1895-1992, 1916-09-07

There is some comment on the lact
that Gordon, the most offensive OF the
state house ringsters at Jefferson City,
was successful at the Democratic pri-
maries, while others who were not SO
rank, we're turned down. This only
illustrates the claim that il you are 60
ing to Swipe something, you will get
off easier if you take a million dollars
than il you take a ham.

Democratic Extravaganza.

With the Democratic administration
in power the financial condition OF the
state is now pitiable. Its plight is not
due to loss Of revenue. The receipts
from general and special taxation sur
pass all records. The state institutions
are crippled. In spite OF the secrecy
as to financial conditions anomalous in
free government, it is known that
many OF the state institutions scantly
subsist on borrowed money or funds
doled out by the governor acting under
belated and unconstitutional econ
omy order" Of lis own devisng. The
last General Assembly overapprop,iat-
I'd the estimated revenue S5,500,000
The governor approved all but IS, ,00O-
600 OF this. On January 26 1916 alter
the first half oI the blennum had elaps
ed, he issued his economy order"
seeking to do t o years retrenehing in
one. A month prior to this econ pmy
order" The Supreme Court Of the
state ordered the return Of 1884, l89.-
81, which had on July the 8 1915,
been wrongfuly diverted from the pub
lie school fund to the general revenue
fund under a new and fancful inter.
probation Of the language Of an appro
priation act set forth in a purported
opinion by the attorney general which
he repudiated before the test suit was
called for trial. The present Demo
cratic administration added s., ,790,734
81 10 the cost OF government in its
first two years over the preceding two
years Of the Hadley administration.
The appropriations Of salaries alone for
1915 and 1916 exceed those for 1911.
and 1912 by S4S4,262. The last
two general assemblies made unneces
sary increases of state expenditure.
Such extravagence and incompetency
are responsible for the humilialing con
Of our state finances. Republican

Senator E. L. Moore, Of Lamar, does
moi think that Col. Gardner's Demo
era y is such as TO call for Democratic
support on the ground Of party loyalty.
In very recent letter to Omar D. Gray,
Of St. Louis the Senator declares I'm
his home town Of S.. Louis, he (Gard.
ner) only a few years ago was rated
officially as an Independent in poll
tics" II the colonel has himself been
an Independent, he is hardly in po-
sition 10 complain at the independence
Of others who, for good reason, do moi
feel attracted to his candidacy.

Senator Reeds Queer Speech

Il would be unfair to hold the nat
ional administration responsible for the
queer notions with which Senator Reed
entertained his colleagues in Senate
speech Tuesday. He must have act
ed on his own motion, either in a spirit
OF envy Of Senator Hamilton Lewis OF
out OF the desire TO attract attention,
which seems TO be congenial weak
ness Of our junior senator. He does
not seem to care whether he is set
down as statesman or as mounte'
bank, so he gets noticed in the dis
patches.
There is no more novelty than truth
in his prediction that the election OF
Hughes will mean war. II is a silly
contention on which the Democrats
took out copy right easily in the
campaign. There is nothing that Mr..
Hughes has said or done and there is
nothing in his record TO support such
a wild supposition. But we must con-
cede that our junior senator found
something novel in the way Of alleged
argument. II Hughes is 10 be elect
ed to the presidency" said Senator
Reed, then it is notice to all the
world that America has repudiated
Wilson'S policy OF peace Tor the Roose
welt Hughes policy Of war. Let the
war be not misunderstood. We know,
the world knows, that Woodrow Wilson
will maintain peace unless the nations
honor is assailed. Thoughtful men
know that president advised by Roose-
welt in accord and agreement with
Roosevelt, will stir up war il possible"
In the first place Roosevelt will rot
run Hughes. In the second, Roose-
welt will not get this country into war.
On the contrary he was a peacemaker
and was awarded the Nobel peace
prize for his services in that direction.
But it is the Reed conception Of the
viewpoint that is curious. Is our free
dom from war due to the worlds recog-
milton that it could not pick fight
out Of Mr.. Wilson, Does the realiz-
alton that our country would not back
any Of its demands by force insure a
a quicker response to themp Is there
any country that would violate our
rights solely to draw US into war with
it. Is there any country so eager 10
match fight with the United States as
10 rejoice in the defeat Of a pacifst
PRESIDENT
This nonsense is Of almost as high
quality as Senator Reeds further pre-
diction that the election Of Hughes
would end our national prosperity

Henry Lamm has always been a
good citizen. He has always stood ior
the best things in state government.
The question Of his honesty has never
been raised by anybody. There is no
room for doubt as to his courage. He
has vigorous views as to public affairs
and he has been perfectly frank in
speaking about them 10 the public.
He's clean, lour-square man. Those
who know best unhesitatingly declare
that he fits closely the urgent needs oi
the state just now in the gubernational
Office.

The fact that we are going to have
an eight-hour work-Jay in this country
will increase the urgent need OF pro-
tective tariff, since it will widen the
difference between the American and
European labor standards, which differ

Revenue,

Under the Underwood Free Trade
bill imports for the fsicai year ending
June 30th, 1916, amounted to $2,198
100000 this being by far the largest
known in any year in American history
The tariff duties collected during the
same year amounted to s2ll,866, 900.
Had the same rate Of duty been col
lected during the last year as was aver
aged during the Payne'Altrich bill,
approximately S426,O0O,OOO would
have been collected in tariff duties.
This would have been over twice the
amount that has been collected would
have made obnoxious war taxes un'
necessary and would have paid the ex
penses Of the government, even under
the present extrayagant administration.

The working men Of Missouri have
not forgotten the months oil pinchipg
need they faced as the result OF the
Wilson Underwood tariff, preceding
the beginning Of the great European
war which forced a restoration Of pro.
lection, in large part, by natural con-
ditions. Thousands we're out Of work
and thousands more on reduced time.

were seen in St. Louis and Kansas City

Missouri Republicans United.


The Missouri Democrats who have
hugged the fond hope that the Re-
publicans would be so rent by factions
as TO make united and harmonious
campaign impossible must be amazed
to see iactional chickering's ended with
in week after the state convention.
Whatever disaffection there was did
not extend to the rank and file Of the
party. It was personal in character
and was confined to few. Never be-
fore in the history OF the state have the
Republicans been more eager to turn
out the state administration and re-
place the incompetent state officials
with worthy Republicans, committed
to reforms that will be worth while.
Never have the prospects for such a
consummation been brighter. Conse-
quenily, there was hot indignation
Throughout the state over signs Of di-
visions among leaders at the outset Of
the campaign. The Democrats could
no; restrain their glee. A divided Re-
pi5icanism was their one hope Of
victory in November.
We shall not try to determine whe-
ther it was POLITICAL wisdom, party
loyalty or good craftsmanship that so
quickly and happily ended the squabb'
le. 1t is sufficient to note that it is
enden. 1t is also safe to predict that
the campaign will be waged more Wig
orously and harmcniouslY than il there
had been no trouble. The leaders
will view with each other in activity.
Nobody can afford to have any doubt
cast on his loyalty, before or after the
election. Ehere will be rivalry in
generosity during the campaign.
Everybody will strive to avoid causes
OF friction. This does not mean that
rivalries are ended and that the politi-
cal millennium has come, but it does
mean that good sense and party loyalty
require the subordination Of individual
desires to the success Of the Republi
can ticket. The candidates will stand
OF fall together. What helps one will
help another and what hurts one will
hurt the rest.
The Republicans have worthy nomi'
nees for state Office. Their appeals to
the people, The Republicans offer
the only concrete program The
Democrats make some promises, but
they are linked with approval Of an Cd
ious state administration. Independ-
ent citizens and independent news
papers are praising the course Of the

leadership will bring a sweeping VIC

Judge Henry Lamm is not hall
hearted in the assurance that when the
people Of Missouri elect him to the
governorship, as they FULLY intend 10
do in November, he will clean out the
gang which has disgraced the State al
Jefferson City. This clean up will not
be merely partisan shift, but it will
be change with a high business mot.
i've and real reform purpose. The
campaign in behalf Of Judge Lamm's
candidacy is one to open the books
and TO put the state government on a
business basis

Col, Gardner promised in his Jefferson
City speech that he was going to prove
that the government OF Missouri had
been well managed under the Demo
cratic administration. Now that the
colonel has thus put himself on record
in favor oil the Democratic mess" at
the state capital, let the campaign pro-
ceed His decision to be bold rather
than prudent ought TO eliminate ali
doubt as TO Judge Lamm's election.
We believe it does.
The Taney County republican. (Forsyth, Mo.) 1895-1992, 1916-09-07

About four years more Of the same
sort Of thing at Jefferson City would
put the state government in the hands
Of receiver. As Gardner proposes 10
defend the existing regime and prove
that it's good thing, it is safe to as
sumo that his election would mean its
continuance.

continuance

II is cruel blow 10 the Democrats
that Walter S. Dickey is taking an act
i've interest in the campaign and is to
be within consulting distance Of those
who manage it for the Republicans.
Those are conditions that have never
boded we'll for the Democracy.
The Taney County republican. (Forsyth, Mo.) 1895-1992, 1916-09-07

When you hear Democrat boasiing
about our war orders" prosperity, you
may safely size him up as either a foil
or demagogue. He simply can't be
honest Il he is intelligent.
The Taney County republican. (Forsyth, Mo.) 1895-1992, 1916-09-07

The people who think that Wood
row Wilson kept US out OF the big war
should stop to consider how We could
have gotten into the war except as the
ally OF other nations now fghting-a
condition unthinkable.
The Taney County republican. (Forsyth, Mo.) 1895-1992, 1916-09-07

William J. Bryap's idea OF the tariff
commission is that it will please GER
