St. Louis Mo, June 15.-The achievements of the Wilson adminis- tration in enacting beneficial legisla- f ton and in keeping the country at i Leace without sacrifice of the nation :, al honor were pronounced epoch making in American history by Sena- tor Ollie M.

In former national contests in the last two decades our party came as a pro- phet. Today we come with deeds, rot words with performance, not promise.

Our republican friends tell Us that ! after the war is over poor, stricken, | prostrate, torn, bleeding Europe will 1 take our home market from us. I | have no such fear.
