GARDNER IS CENTRAL FIGURE
An important Meeting Of Prominent
Democrats Held at Excelsior
Springs, Mo.

A political gathering of no small
significance was held at the Elms
hotel in this city, Thursday afternoon,
in which Col. Fred d. Gardner of st.
Louis, Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor, was the central figure.
Many Democrats from this section
Of the state, learning that Col. Gard
ner would be in Excelsior Springs on
Thursday, came in TO see him and
talk over the political situation.
Among those present were farmers,
bankers, newspaper men, stockmen,
lawyers and doctors and merchants,
comprising the leading men in their
line of vocation in ten or dozen
different counties.
A partial list of those present at
the meeting here on Thursday is DR..

city.
1t is generally conceded in this
part of the state that Gardner is
particularly strong with the farmers,
and it would seem that larger por-
ton of Francis Wilson's strength
has gone over to Col. Gardner
Col Gardner announced here that
he positively would take no part in
any factional fight anywhere, that he
would not in the slightest manner
disparage the claims of the other
candidates, but his name would be
on the ballot and the Democrats
could decide for themselves as to the
! type of man they wanted. The
democracy of this state would honor
itself in making Col. Gardner the
Democratic standard bearer.-Excel-

REFuTE CHARGE THAT HE FA
voRs BREWERY AND sA.
LOON INTERESTS.
CONSISTENT CHURCH WORKER
Pastor Of Grace Methodist Episcopal
Church Writes Strong Endorsement
Approved by other Promi-
nent st. Louis clereymen.

One of the inevitable consequences
of a candidacy for public office APP
pears in the assertion of certain per
sons hostile to the nomination of Col.
Gardner that he is in sympathy with
the anti-temperance forces. No more
unfair accusation could be made in
reference to Col. Gardner. His per
sonal views and public expressions
have never given foundation for such
charges. In support of this statement
comes a strong endorsement from the
