went straight home from Washington,
presumably to get into action at once.
He is his party'a best stunper in the
state, and after survey Of the land
from "Honeyshucx Farm" will find much
for his eloquent tongue TO do.
MIR. Clark has manifested no animos-
ity toward the President. Why should
he nave done 500 Mr.. Wilson simply
accepted what the Baltimore convention
offered aim. His nomination was regu-
lar; and he did not look it in the mouth
did not 60 behind the returns. As the
candidate he was entitled to the support
of democrats, and Mr.. Clark gave him
his.
But the proposition as to Mr.. Bryan
was very different, and probably still is.
1t was he that prevented the two-thirds
vote which should have followed the
conventions majority vote, and which
would have made Mr.. Clark the nominee.
Mr.. Clark at the time denounced that ac-
ton, and has never Withdrawn the de-
nunciation. And as yet Mr.. Clark and
Mr.. Bryan have not been photographed
together. Probably they will not be. #
the Missourians should insist upon that,
they are likely to discover a limit to
the qualification of their curiosity. There
arc some things that cannot be Shown"
even to them.

A Difficult Proposition.


Doc Braney won't talk politics! He says
this mighty land
Has plenty of explainers an too few to
understand!
He says the facts are plain to all who
have the will to heed,
AM he's got no information, 'cept what
he who runs may read.
He says it's up to every man to think his
level best
On facts well known, before he puts his
ballot with the rest.
An not go round a-huntin' fur excite,
ment so intense
Instid O. takin' counsel with his inward
common sense.
tell you all jes' what he says. l don't
attempt to find
No words apologize fur his stubborn
state of mind.
We hoped that we could stand around
glad, expectant crowd,
While he poured out the language that
would make his townsmen proud.
If you kin get man enthused by dec
lamation's art
You may not quite convince him, but at
least you've made start,
But, candidly ask you, as my hopes
begin to sink,
What can you do with folks that wants
to jes' keep still an thinkf

Showing" Missouri.

The Missourians-at any rate, the
democrats of the state-are in charac-
teristic mood. They want to be shown.
President Wilson and Speaker Clark
have been photographed together, and
copies Will be exhibited in the state
campaign as evidence that all is friendly
between the two men, and that each
wishes the other success in the present
contest.
1t is "all along Of" the Baltimore con
vention. Although they have been get
ting on well together in office, an i'm
preston prevails here and there that
bitter memories of his defeat by Mr..
Wilson remain with Mr. Clark. The
movies" therefore, have been utilized
in an effort to dispel the notion, and
help carry Missouri for the democratic
ticket.
This is probably another confession
that the state is close The first confes-
sion was made last winter when the
democratic national committee met to
name the time and choose the place for
holding the party's national convention
st. Louis won, partly on a statement that
the choice Of that city would be of value
TO the democrats in the presidential cam,
paign; that Missouri would have to be
fought for, and that every little would
count
Since then there have been other con
fessions to the same end. The repub-
licans are very much alive, have nomi-
nated a strong state ticket and strong
candidates for Congress, and we are told
that aAery warm fight is on. Mr.. Clark

different state Of things. Republicans
are numerous, wel led, well organized
and in fighting fettle. Only the other
day they gave Mr.. Hughes, who had
complimented them with visit, a great
reception. Mr.. Watterson must have .
care. Widely read, and much admired
at home, even by the opposition, he can
not indulge at all times in free express
sion Of the thoughts that arise within
him. What he thinks Of the Sixty
fourth Congress, with its record Of obe-
dience to the President, is probably
a-plenty. But put into type it might
make good material for the opposition
and be used in the campaign. So, as
diplomacy is necessary, Mr.. Watterson
is diploming.
Well, how about Mr.. Underwood as
prophets Is he not in this case as much
prophet as statesman If Maine is a
guide, is not the democratic party NOV
ing toward the defeat the senator says
it has courted9 Although, in the dye
stuffs matter it "surrendered funda-
mental principles to an exigency"-ad-
vertised itself as willing to 60 in for
protection-the voters of Maine chose
the party which has always championed
and frequently afforded protection. They
want the Underwood Law revised, and
prefer for the work the party familiar
with tariff details from the protection
point of view. So that, if the country
follows Maine, the democratic Congress
will have made its surrender in vain.
In the fight for the Senate the repub-
leans have drawn first blood. johnson
goes out and Hale comes in. If Maine
points the way to republican Senate,
the next tariff contest in that body will
be all the more interesting by reason of
the presence Of Mr.. Underwood, who can,
and probably will, come forward as the
champion of what both he and Mr.. Wat
terson stiH hold dear--a tariff for reve-
nue. only.

The Armor Plant Site.

Secretary Daniels is now hearing the
Representations of the city candidates
for tho privilege of making armor plate
for the government. This is a most de-
sirable prize, which any city may dc
sire to obtain. Such plant will give
employment to a large number of per-
cons and will be beneficial to trade: IT
may bring large measure of prosperity
70 some community that at present is
without industrial activity.
The claims of Washington have al
ready been presented. They are I'M
mistakably strong. The physical con
ditions here are favorable. A demon
stration of practicabiiity is at hand in
the naval gun foundry, which has found
here most convenient and suitable To-
cation. There are no embarrassing po-
!itical considerations or conditions here
to interfere with the satisfactory work
ing of such plant. If the matter is
to be decided ON merit, Washington
should win over all rivals for the selec-
ton.
Next to Washington, in local affec-
tons, comes Alexandria, which has pre-
sented her claim today in terms that
must command respectful hearing. An
organization has been effected to in
sure thorough pressing of the merits
of Alexandra as possible armor plant
site. 1t is assured that no stone will be
left unturned in the effort to impress
upon the government the advantages of
the Virginia neighbor of the capital
1t would be appropriate to have the
armor plate factory at Alexandra, with
the gun foundry here. There is sufi-
eient water in the Potomac for every
practical purpose. A deep channel can
at any time be insured by additional
dredging. With sufficient expenditure
by the government the Potomac could be
made available to the very wharves Of
Washington for the largest battleships,
Alexandria could be given deep water
with even less difficulty. 1t is only a
matter of scraping the river bottom and
keeping it seraped, with small annual
expenditure.
But deep water is not needed for an
armor plate plant. There is sufficient
water here now, or there will be when
the Anacostia Improvement is completed,
for this purpose. There is already deep
enough water at Alexandra for any
such work. Rail communications are ex-
cellent and will be better. When the
time for decision comes the claims of
these two cities, friendly rivals in the
present race, must be seriously consid-
cred

Mr.. Wilson and His Party.

shere is diplomacy, though probably
not much personal comfort, in the as
sirauce some of the Presidents friends
are offering him that he is stronger than
bis party; that had his name been on
tie i;allot Ill Maine he would lave polled
fifteen thousand more votes than did
Senator johnson, the strongest democrat
voted for.
As q matter of fact. Mr.. Wilson's
strength, so Tar as Maine was concerned,
was tested in that election. The people
voted on the democratic national record,
ami rejected it. The record was Mfr.
Wilson's. Tn. President was the issue.
His complete domination of his party
in Congress-with its consant-was I'm
dcrstood. undisputed. Mr.. Wilson lost
in Maine. By electing a solid repuh-
liean delegation-two senators and four
Representatives, the next Congress,
Maine spoke for a change in national
eontrol-voted for Mr.. Hughes as against
Mr. Wilson. and for a republican Con
gress as against another democratic
Congress that might, and probably would
be controlled by Mr.. Wilson.
The same Issue will be presented else
where 1t is Hughes against Wilson
republicanism against the Wilsenized
democracy Between the Wilsonized
democracy and the old democracy are
several wide differences. The former
has surrendered the old party shibbo-
leth of tariff for revenue only, in the
matter of the so-called eight hour law
fouted arbitration, and in the matter of
q merchant marine taken distinct step
toward state socialism.
In 1892 Mr.. Cleveland was nominated
and elected President largely on the
proposition that he was stronger than
his party. He was a strong man. But
in Office between 1898 and 1897 he ex-
hibited his strength principally in bouts
with his party, first on the silver ques
ton and then on the tariff, and dealt it
such staggering blows he sent it Keeling
into the wilderness for very rocky so
journ of sixteen years. And it might
have remained there sixteen years longer
if in 1912 the republicans had not di-
vided and made breach through which
it entered the citadel of control. 1t was
still at that time in the minority by over
thirteen hundred thousand odd votes.
Mr. Wilson in Office has been SO much
stronger than his party he has absorbed
and transformed it. But two years ago
in the congressional elections the coun-
try showed that it did not Like the trans
formation, and Monday the people of
Maine showed an even more pronounced
objection to the new article. Mr.. Viii
son may be stronger than the old de-
mocracy, but that has gone out of bust
ness He cannot be stronger than the
new democracy, for that is himself
