MILITANT DEMOCRACY

1t was large and representative
gathering of Missouri Democrats that
assembled at the Planters hotel in st.
Louis last Saturday, for the purpose
of participating in a proposed party
reorganization throughout the State.
A large majority of the counties were
represented, and the true fighting
spirit was very much in evidence.
No special argument was necessary
to convince any of those present that
this was no time to even take a
chance on the Republicans again get
ting into national control, in view of
their arbitrary tactics already so
plainly apparent in the U. s. Senate.
Several speakers of national pkem-
inence were there ard addressed the
gathering, the State Democratic
Committee also being in session. Amos
C. Cummings, of Connecticut, chair
man of the Democratic National Com
mittee, Mrs. Bass, chairman of the
Woman's National Democratic Aux
iliary, and U. S. Senator Richardson
of Arkansas, were among the dis
tinguished visitors.
Plans for a thorough State organ
ization were mapped out, with vice
presidents in each legislative district
in the State, and the details for such
organization were gone into quite
thoroughly. Before the meeting ad-
journed TIE following resolutions,
which had been adopted by the Dem
ocratic State Committee, were pre-
scented to the newly organized State
Democratic Club organization, and
were adopted by a unanimous rising
vote:
eve heartily endorse the business
like administration of our Governor,
Frederick d. Gardner, and call atten-
ton to the fact that under his leader
ship, Missouri takes first rank as
"war" state.
eve heartily endorse the, masterful
administration of Woodrow Wilson,
our great American president, and the
worlds best beloved executive,
eve congratulate him on the unpar-
alleled achievement of his administra-
tion and on the benefcent Legislation
enacted since his first inaugural.
owe look with profound pride upon
the record of our party, which, under
his leadership, had directed with such
signal success the affairs of the nation
through the most turbulent period of
all time; and we cherish as a precious
heritage the nations record of unset
fish service in the winning of the world
war, which history will hand down to
succeeding generations. 10
eve are especially proud that
Americas own president has taken
the leading part in the framing of a
treaty of peace, which guarantees
equal and exact justice to all nations,
large or small, and we xpress the
earnest wish that the Senate of the
United States will speedily ratify the
proposed treaty of peace, including the
League of Nations. And, be it fur
Their a..
Resolved, that we respectfully
urge upon the president to see that
the right of the Irish race for self
determination be recognized"

first address in this city, and followed
souri, Democrats, who were gathered

While the American soldiers and the

storm the waterfront was scene of
busy activity from early yesterday
morning to late in the evening.
All kinds of craft We're moved from
the wharves to the other side of the
bay and even motor boats were called
into service to do the work of tow
boats. The fish companies and others
with offices on the waterfront were
engaged in moving valuables to places
of greater safety until late. Every
precaution is being taken by shipown-
ers and masters of craft to protect
their vessels. The storm according to
private advices will probably be at it's
worst here today.
All of the vessels loading and dis
charging cargo, the fishing smacks.

We're moved yesterday to the other
side of the bay in order to be in a bet
ter position to weather the storm which
was reported to be coming this way.
No vessels sailed from this port dur
ing the day and there We're no arrivals.
The Hyer Launch compAny and Cap
tain Bennie Edmnndsonf were called
upon several times during the day to
move barges and other vessels that
could not be moved by their own
Lower. The various craft from the navy
yard were also taken to the other
side of the bay.
The Sanders and Warren fish com
ranies as well as other concerns on
the water front removed their valu-
ables, records and other papers TO
places of safety.
Many of the shipping and fish com
panies were in constant communica-
ton yesterday with points south OF
here and were being constantly in
formed as to the progress and inten-
