vote to Hughes, with Congressman
and COP. control of the low

Assembly

AS the end approaches, of one of the
most remarkable campaigns in the
political history of Missouri, the out.
look for Republican success looms
most satisfactorily to those who have
been charged with the responsibility
for it's management.
Huckriede Predicts Republican
Success.
Judge T. K. Hukriede, chairman Of
the Republican State Committee, who
has been in personal charge of the
management of the campaign, at the
committee headquarters, in the Inter.
national Life building, at Sth and
Chestnut streets, st. Louis, gave out
the following forecast of probable re-
suits of the election in the state: at
is my opinion, based upon reliable and
authentic information from all parts
of the state, that Judge Lamm and the
entire state ticket will come to St.
Louis with a majority from the in
terror counties of the state, and If the
City of st. Louis meets the expecta-
tions of the local management of the
campaign, the Republican state ticket
will be elected by at least 10000 ma
jority."
unless all political signs fail, Mis-
souri, will give it's electoral vote to
Hughes and Fairbanks. Indications
also point to the certain election of at
least seven Republican congressman
and enough Republican representatives
to control the lower house of the next
General Assembly"
"The people of Missouri have never
shown such enthusiasm as has been
manifested in the present state cam
paign. Overwhelming crowds have
greeted Judge Lamm everywhere. The
people are thoroughly aroused through
out the state and everywhere, the Re-
publican candidates meet an enthusi.
astic reception.
.Advices from reliable sources in the
East presage an overwhelming victory
for the National Republican ticket, and
1 confidently look forward to return
of the Republican party to power in
the nation and the dawn of new era
of prosperity"
Grouse Says Hughes viii Carry State
H. P. Grouse, head of the publicity
department of the Republican State
Committee, says: 81 believe that the
American people, having had another
serious lesson on the result of low
tariff in the impovtrishment of the peo-
pie previous to the resumption OF par
tial protection under the war condi
tions, are going to overwhelmingly re-
turn the Republican party to power
and opportunity in the national govern
ment l confidently expect that Mis-
souri, will contribute its electoral vote
to this desirable result and will other
wise permanently throw off the yoke
of mossbackism and bourbonism by
electing Walter S. Dicked to the Unit
ed States Senate and Judge Lamm tc
the goyernorship. The election of the
Republican state ticket and a majority
of Republican congressman will follow
naturally"

the Board of Aldermen of Chicago, who
has been touring western Missouri un
der the direction of the Republican
National Committee, in speech las
week before conference of 200 Ntgrt

Republicans Reunited in Missouri
One of the results of present can
paign has been the wiping out OF al
factional differences among the Repul
licans, who are now reunited and worl
ing harmoniously for party success l
the state. Practically all of the Pre-
gressives have realigned themselve
with the Republican party and man
Democrats. disgusted with the .Majo
administration have declared their pu
pose to vote for the Republican cand
dates at this election.
That Missouri under normal cond
tions is Republican state has bee
clearly demonstrated in recent year
