from May to October by having work
in offices. schools, stores and depart

in our clocks, but if adopted by the

The "gop" bunch which is behind
the "Kansas City millionaire mud
mixer" chiefly hailing from the west
ern portion Of Missouri, has already
served notice on Senator Spencer that
his arduous support of Wilson's
League of Nations is distasteful TO
them and that he must change his
views and policies or lose the re-
nomination. Unfortunately, as this
crowd is well aware, Senator Spencer
has made too many far-reaching
speeches and given out to many news
paper interviews, advocating, indor3-
ing and supporting, with certain
changes and amendments, the Pres
ident's international pact, to be in a
position to heed this camouf1agcd
declaration from the western half Of
his constituents, and he must continue
along and stick to the course he has
laid out for himself, regardless of the
fact that it means party defeat for

United States Senator, has not yet
fully developed, but it can be depended
upon that among his hackers will be
found the chief stock holders in the
corporation which control the dam and
power plant at Keokuk on the MissiS-
sippi river and the subsidiary as5o-
Citations which convey, transmit and
transform the power for commercial
purposes to st. Louis, Hannibal, Quin-
cy, Keokuk and other manufacturing
and transportation centers of Nilsson
ri, Iowa and Illinois, and, also, the
Illinois Traction Company and the
United Railway Co. Of St. Louis. There
is opposition in st. Louis county to
State Senator Gardner succeeding
himself and he must seek new job
to keep his political prestige, and be-
ing United States Senator would just
fill the bill The Republican Watch
man-Advocate of st. Louis county,
which once stood for him and every
thing he did, does not care to aid in
sending Gardner back to the State
Senate, and, in fact, is leading the
fight against him. To offset this pow
erful opposition Senator Gardner has
launched a weekly paper of his own
which is now busy keeping his politi-
cal ambitions and aspirations red hot.
If the Republicans cannot agree
next August on one Of the four as
piring and ready to perspire senatorial
candidates just Illuminated, Tom
Marks of Kansas City will be found
ready and willing and eager TO lead
the "gop" party from the wilderness.
Among others who would be willing
to become the Senatorial Moses are
Joe Black, civ" Morse, Judge Henry
Lamm, John C. Mckinley of Putnam
county, William Irwin and Cecil Thorn
as of jefferson City, not to mention
Roy A. Britton of st. Louis. Then,
too, there is the much abused and per-
secuted Hank Wicke of st. Louis,
once plenipotentiary on ultra-e xtraor-
binary occasions to Mayor Kiel. How
willing he is to serve his party again
is indicated by the fact that for a
quarter of a century, until year
ago, when a United States ruled he
was not an American citizen, but an
alien, forcing him then to resign a
lucrative city berth he was holding
down, he was a never-tiring office
seeker. Until then he was a power
in st. Louis "gop" circles. When he
attempted to have full citizenship con-
ferred on him, it was denied him ow-
ing to the fact that, like the women
scorned, he had a past. Wicke in
tends soon, so his friends declare,
having lived down most his past in the
last year, to once again attempt to be
come an American citizen, and if he
succeeds he will be available timber,
if the "gop" party demands it, to
make the race for United States SEN
ator. fa

him at the coming August primary.
That this is the predicament that fac
es the present junior Senator from
Missouri the mud mixers" of Kansas
City well knew when they sent him
their letter, it being their intention,
when that new famous political epis-
tie was written, to use it as basis
to get from behind Spencer and shove
their candidate, W. S. Dickey, into the
limelight and whoop things up FOR him.
Once the "gop" senatorial waters be-
come muddy enough SO that the rank
and file of the party cannot see who is
stirring up the bottom, it is an easy
matter then to throw mud in huge
gobs at Senator Spencer and forever
put a Guetus on his ambition TO sue
coed himself,
While "Heinie" Kiel, Mayor of St.
Louis, who has twice amply rewarded
over 5000 "faithfuls" who controlled
the "gop" vote Of that city, including
negroes and pro-Germans, for twice
making him the village burgomeister
at $4,000 a year and some extra
drippings," would be more than well
satisfied if he was rendered the Re-
publican nomination for Governor,
But, he, like Hyde of Trenton, is will
ing to accept the Senatorial nomina-
ton if it is forced upon him.
Arising from the humble occupa-
ton of mud-brick layer he is intel
ligent enough to fully realize that his
mental capacity is not broad enough
to beft and dignity the ermine toga
and therefore he would rather become
the "gop" candidate for Governor.
Just who is behind the sudden en-
trance of State Senator A. E. L..
Gardner of St. Louis county into the
"gop" contest for the nomination Of
