Lieutenant Governor Wallace Cross
lev of Warrensburg and Attorney
John M. Atkinson of st. Louis, will
mot officially announce their candida
cies for the Democratic big executive
plum until after the Joplin conven-
ton. it is stated. But both can be
counted on to be in the running on
primary day. Dry Democrats of Mis-
souri,, chiefly plentiful out on the hills
and in the valleys, are strong for
both men. The emphatic declaration
of the Lieutenant-Governor that pro-
hibition had come to stay, gained
many votes for him in the counties
which he expects to overwhelmingly
carry. 1t is predicted that the con-
test for the dry Democratic votes OF
Missouri will be nip and tuck between
Atkinson and the present Lieutenant
Governor. Those who have studied
the situation declare that Atkinson has
shade the best of it for the reason
that the big dry Democratic leader,
Charles M. Hay, former Representa-
tive from Galloway county, is for him.
But Crossley has friends all over the
State he can depend upon to be at the
poles in his behalf on primary day,
early and late.
Sight must not be lost in the COM
ing Democratic combat for the nom
nation for Governor OF George II.
Moore of St. Louis, Internal Revenue
Collector for the Eastern District OF
Missouri, who is an avowed candidate.
A few days ago when United States
Acknowledgement A. Mitchell Palmer
was in st. Louis on his way back to
Washington he and Moore had a
lengthy friendly powwow. In course
of the talk the question came up as
to whether Moore would resign when
he officially enters the race. The
conference gave rise to the story that
Moore will ask for furlough with
out pay when he gets into the coming
contest in earnest, so that his oppo-
nents can not charge that he is using
his federal position and prestige to
further his candidacy. 1t is stated!
that fully twenty Of the twcnty-eight
Democratic City Committeeman of st.
Louis are back Of Moore's candidacy
and will give him their wards heavily
on primary day. If this happens it
means that he leaves st. Louis with q
solid Democratic vote of 10000. Moore
boosters else assert that he will carry
fifty counties in east Missouri. But
primary day is still a long time off
and Representative Farris is the only
aspirant for the big place who has, SO
far, officially fled.

next election, not upon a record of
achievement to which it can point with
pride, but is going to depend upon ev-
cry dissatisfied element in the country
to vote the Republican ticket. The
straws from their political breezes
show at this early date that Ameri-
cas- brilliant achievements in every
line of endeavor will be ignored by the
Republicans during the campaign and
every trivial error or mistake that
may have been made will be magnified
from mole-hill into mountain

PERTINENT POLITICAL PRATTLE
(By A. T. Edmonston.)

jefferson City, Mo-, March With
three Missouri lawyers of sterling
qualifications in the field for the nom
ination for General on the
Democratic ticket, subject to the de-
cision of the statewide primary of
August 3, this tourney is already
arousing keen interest all over the
State. State Senator Mark A. Nc
Gruder of Sedalia, who was Demo-
cratic Floor Leader Of the last Senate,
and, who, as such steered to passage
many measures the farmers of Mis-
souri, had demanded for years, has the
distinction, If it means anything, of
being the first to announce and Of
ficially file for the honor. William H.
Meredith, a prominent lawyer Of Pop
lar Bluff, chucked his chapeau into
the contest month ago. He has the
enviable record, through rigid and Wig
orous law enforcement, while prose-
cutting attorney Of Butler county, of
materially helping to place that COM
munity, which includes the former
oasis, Poplar Bluff, into the local OPP
ton column, and Of keeping both
there ever since. Charles ]. Wright
Of Springfield, Mo-, while Representa-
tive few years ago from Greene
county, established record, convinc-
ing enough, even to the most skepti-
cal, for standing through thick and
thin for law and order, and, would, un-
der the trying times which are to
come when national and state prohi-
bition is sorely at test, be for rigid
law enforcement. On this score he,
however, has no advantage over his
two political opponents.

FRANK H. FARRIs VERY ACTIVE

If constant activity, and ability to
manage a campaign, count toward
landing a political plum, Frank II.
Farris of Phelps county, who aspires
to be Missouri's next Governor, has
good start for his goal, the Demo
cratic nomination. Thirty-fve Farris-
for-Governor clubs have been formed
over the State, with a total member
ship exceeding 5000, his boomers say,
and more are on the way. A cam
paign manager for each congressional
district has been appointed and each
has accepted. The intention is to
have 1000 Farris-for-Governor
boosters from all over the State at the
Joplin convention in April. Lebanon,
Mo-, will send delegation of a hum
bred headed by brass band.-Fulton

The Republican today who assumes
to feel perfect confidence in the con-
troll of the nation by a Republican
President and Congress is very much
of an optomist, The Republican party
cannot go before the people this year
and ask to be returned upon its rec
ord. Until the election two years ago
the Democratic party was the agency
through which the affairs of the gov
eminent were conducted since March
a, 1918. During the six years that the
Democrats were in control they en-
acted and put into force more con-
structive legislation than had been
written in the two preceding decades
by the Republican party. The Federal
Reserve Act, the Federal Farm Loan
Act, the Income Tax, the Federal
Trade Commission, the Shipping Board
Act, the Agricultural Extension laws
and numerous other legislation far
reaching in effects were put into force.
Their record of achievement stands as
q monument to the usefulness and eff
