The following communication was
sent to The Republic yesterday from
the Whitley headquarters in the Plant
ers' Hotel:
"The st. Louis Republic has pro-
pounded two questions for reply by me
on behalf of the Whitley City Cam
paign Committee.
"They are:
"'Do | approve of Senator Whitley
signing on March 8, 1917, the telegram
asking the President to keep us out of
war If II we're possible to do so with

Will Folk and the Republic

Senator's Campaign Managers Ask
Question and Await Reply
(From St. Louis Republic, July 1st, 191S)

VIC figure up the cost, both of going In
and staying out, we cannot wonder
that President Wilson has sought by
every means in his power to avoid a
rupture
THE one event Of Importance that
has transpired between the publica-
tion of this editorial in The Republic
and the signing of the telegram by
Senator Whitley was the inaugural ad-
dress of President Wilson, In which
the hope that peace might yet be pre-
served was expressed.
ut Is quite clear from such express
sions, which were frequent in the edi-
torial columns OF The st. Louis Re
public at that time, that certainly up
to and beyond the date OF the tele-
gram which Senator Whitley signed
The Republic hoped war might possi-
bly, be avoided with honor
Neither his opponent nor The Re
public opposing him dare assert sena-
tor Whitley is not thoroughly loyal
American.
But, since ! am required to answer
questions. IL is no more than fair that
| should be permitted to ask few.
"Our reports from all over Missouri
indicate the nomination of Senator

ings and feels no alarm at the injec-
tion Of false issues or unjust personal
attacks into the campaign. A large
gathering of Missouri Democrats in
| st. Louis yesterday brought nothing
| but good news. The situation In St
Louis and Kansas City could not be
better. Consequently, the important
| questions now before the Democratic
voters In this family quarrel is what
the attitude of Joseph w. Folk and his
| followers is going to be after Senator
| Whitley Is nominated.
my questions are:
"Will Gov. Folk support Senator

WAS HER PREFERENCE.

The wife of a congressman had two
sons who were in the habit of taking
the pretty nurse maid out for good
time. The boys would not own up to
it when she tried to caution them lest
their father learned the situation.
She then went to the pretty nurse.
and by a little finesse disarmed her
OF thinking she was displeased.
"Minna," she said, (which OF the
boys do you like TO go out with best,
Tom or Harry?"
WELL" said the maid. 81 think /
prefer Harry, but for a real good time
I like your husband best"
