mentioned for the nomination by the
democrats who VITO years ago per-

Senator, get into the contest it would
so badly split up the dry Democratic
vote that all candidates would have
an equal chance for the honor. With
Farris and Atkinson alone in the race,
the running would be as even as it was
when Major and Cowherd ran against
each other in 1912, with Major win
ming through narrow margin. A
real old fashioned campaign would be
the outcome Of such a well matched
contest and the party enthusiasm
which would result would bring out a
tremendous primary vote. Both as
pirants being good losers the win
ner would have the advantage Of hay-
ing defeated a man who would forget
defeat and work day and night for
the success of the ticket named by the
Democratic electors of the state.

date to be given out later. Some Of

THE COST OF REPUBLICANISM

The dangerous thing about the Re-
publican machine of st. Louis is that
! its outrageous political methods will
! be extended to the State Government
if the Republicans should carry Mis-
souri, with the aid of this despotic or
ganization.
In order that the taxpayers of Mis-
souri, may be duly warned against
such a calamity, let us Consider for
moment, what an expensive luxury
kiel ad his machine have been to the
Taxpayers of St Louis.
His attempt, as Republican City
Chairman, to destroy the usefulness
of Frederick II. Kreisman as Mayor,
(although Kreisman las a Repuhli-
fcan) and his own dilly-dallying policy
as Mayor during the first 10 months
Of his administration, cost the tax
payers, on the municipal bridge ques-
ton alone, more than 100000.
By creating new jobs for his poll
tical workers, he increased the cost
Of the municipal government, approx
imately $4,000 year. He has been
Mayor seven years. The total cost
Of his policy, in this respect, has been
more than 100000.
The Efficiency Committee pointed
out that by eliminating useless jobs
and consolidating the work of other
departments, the city government
could have saved $1,250,000 year. BY
| ignoring this recommendation, and
continuing the spoils system, during
the seven years of his term, he has cost
the Taxpayers an additional $780,
900.
He attempted to force over bill
providing for the acceptance of a
bridge approach that would have cost
81 100000 more than the approach
that was recommended by expert en-
gineers. This approach would have
enabled a group of politicians to have
made fortune by the sale of lands
on which they held option. This
scheme was killed by public sentiment.
To sum up, Kiel as Republican boss
of st. Louis, and as Mayor, has cost
the Taxpayers of the city not less
than $12,450, 000-virtually all of
which could have been saved by an eff
ficient system of municipal admins
tration.
n ldiBS Dttlb VI iiiOhCgt C-NIi dNo-
ed from the pockets of the people, has
gone into the pockets of the workers
in Kiel's political machine in order
that he might have the power to die
tate Republican policies and control
Republican nominees.
The power of this machine will be
extended to the state in the event of
Republican successes, because no can
didate for Governor, United States
Senator, or other State office, can get
the support of the Keil-Schmoll ma
chine until he has made terms with
it. These terms generally consist of
giving consent to this machine to con-
troll large percentage of the appoint
ments.
Do the Taxpayers of Missouri want
TO take the risk of having their state
affairs administered by and for the
benefit of the Keil-Schmoll machine
that has needlessiy wasted more than
100000 of the peoples money in
St. Louis during its reign.

PLANNING A STATE CO-OPERA-
TIVE ELEVATOR ASSN

A State organization Of farmers
cooperative grain elevator 'associa-
tons may be the outcome Of farmers
getting together at the University of

ers' Week. A committee appointed at
that time has called a meeting in Mo-
berly, Mo-, on Feb. 25 and 26, to per-
feet State organization.
Missouri is the last of the princi-
