AUGUST A BUSY MONTH IN
MISSOURI POLITICS
State Primary and Meetings to
Organize Campaign Provid-
ed for Under Statutes.

Jefferson City, Mo. July 49,
August will be the busiest politi
cal month of the year in Missouri
Under the primary law all the pre-,
liminary party meetings for the
organization for the campaign
will be held during the month.
There will be something import.
ant doing on each Of the first
four Tuesdays in August. Here
is the schedule provided by the
statutes:
August State primary.
August S-Meetings Of the new
ly elected members of the county
committees of all parties to elect
chai1men and other officers. Ex-
officio the chairman of the Coun-
ty Committees becomes a member
of the Congressional and Judicial
committees in which his county is
located.
August 15-Meetings of the
Congressional and Judicial COM
mittees for organization. The
Congressional Committee is
charged with the election of two
members from each district for
the State Committee.
August 22-The two members
of the State Committee from each
congressional committee meet at
some place designated by the pres
ent State Committee and organize
the new central body by electing
chairman, secretary, treasurer
and other officers
What is known as the "plat-
form convention of the parties
must meet at the same time and
place as the State Committee and
promulgate platforms.
Automatically the membership
Of the platform conventions is con-
fined to the nominees of each par
ty for United States Senator,
members Of Congress, State Of
fices, judicial places. State Senat-
ors and members of the lower
House.
With a full representation each
Of the party State conventions
will consist Of fewer than $50
members. AS a rule there is
very scant attendance.
Two years ago the Democrats
met in jefferson City and the Re-
publicans in St. Louis. The I'M
derstanding is that several cities
will seek the conventions this
year.
All the political interest now is
centered in the primary August l,
to the obscurity of the party activ-
tiles that will follow in rapid sue
cession when the tickets are
{
There is not much gossip even
as to the organization of the Dem I
ocratic and Republican State
committees. The craftsmanship of !
both Of these bodies will be influ- t
enced largely by the gubernator- t
al nomination. {

To the Democrats of the State:

An Address Intended for You.
To the Democrats of the State:
I am a candidate for governor
subject to the will Of the Bema
cratic voters at the August pri
mary. My candidacy is based OF
the conviction that the peopl'
want the man who has best pre-
pared himself to render service.
In a position second only to thai
of.the governorship in importance
| have made record, the honesty
efficiency and worthiness OF
which, after thorough investiga.
ton, even partisan opponents con-
cede. All who have business with
me know that I am always found
"on the job" Election figures
of 1908 and ~ testify to the ex-
tensive acquaintanceship between
me and the voters, whose friend
ship on both occasions honored me
with leading majorities.
l am not the champion Of any
class of industry. By the help of
the people of all callings I expect
to win. ! have no fad to exploit,
hobby to ride. nor panacea to Of
fer in an attempt to fool this or
that element into yielding sup
port nor have I money to influ-
ence any in my favor. All LOT
fer is a solemn pledge to render
honest and efficient service. That
promise to all alike I give in good
faith, and point to what I have
done as the best evidence Of what
[ shall do.

ng committee unanimously COM

LOSS or APPETITE
Nest Successfully Treated by Taking
Hoods sarsaparlla.

Loss of appetite is accompanied
by loss of vitality, which is serious.
1t is common in the spring be-
cause at this time the blood is inn
pure and impoverished and fails to
give the digestive organs what is
absolutely necessary for the proper
performance of their functions.
Hoods Sarsaparilla. the old reli-
able all-the-year-round medicine, is
especially useful in the spring. Get
it from your druggist. BY purify
ing and enriching the blood and Civ
ing vitality, vigor and tone, it is
wonderfully successful in the treat
ment of loss of appetite and the
other ailments that are so prevalent
at this time. 1t is not simply n
spring medicine-it is much more
than that-but it is the best spring
medicine.
Hoods Sarsaparilla makes the
rich red blood that the stomach and
other digestive organs need. Get
it today.
