The Senatorial Situation
BY r. BERRY SMITH

Missouri has two candidates for
U. 5. Senator. Both of them are
true blue Americans and cultured
christian gentlemen, worthy of any
place of honor and trust that may
be conferred upon them, but no
more so than are thousands of
others in our great, commonwealth
One trait of Democracy as opposed
to autocracy is that every man is
worthy to be chosen to lead in some
circle of life.
Mlssourians are now called upon
to choose formally successor to
their late Senator VIM. Joel Stone
Two names are before the Demo.
cratic party. One of them is Joseph
W. Folk, once governor of the state,
and who has since that day had an
ambition to be the successor of
Senator Stone. The other is Keno
pnon P. Wiley. who had not even
dreamed of sitting in the U s
Senate and was doubtless greatly
surprised when Governor Gardner
asked him to become the appointed
successor of Senator Stone.
Both Folk and Whitley are lawyers
and worthy citizens of St. Louis.
Each is an exemplary member of
some church, those organizations
that mark above everything else
christian civilization Each is a
peace loving citizen of the greatest
nation on earth, all whose loyal
citizens seek peace and pursue it"
until provocation becomes so great
that forbearance ceases to be
virtue. Then woe to the provocator!
So peace loving are we that good
