The Republicans are all worked up

dulging in much conjecture t. the
prospects OF a split in the Democratic
party.

Democrats will incorporate into their
platform on the League OF Nations.

stampede a part of the Democratic

But they are sadly mistaken. The
Democrats at Frisco will iron out

DEEP GLOOM OF MISSOURI
REPUBLICANS. y

The Times a few weeks ago called
attention to Republican bi-annual
claims OF success in Missouri and
pointed ont tina, they always win
their victories before the elections.
Since then have come the exposure OF
Republican leaders in collecting
money from presidential candidates
and the illcgitimate use OF same.
This is the worst scandal that has oc
CURED III any party in this state III
many years. and honest Republicans
arc Justly indignant over the fragrant
actions OF their trusted leaders. and
an effort is being made to have the
Morses. Bablers. Coles. Goldsteins
and others retired from party man
agement. realizing that no party
could possibly be successful in this
state under The leadership OF such
men.
The movement, however. is spas
mode. without intelligent leadership
and therefore doomed to failure. The
aforesaid bosses will not retire and
thus give over the opportunity to
handle the big campaign fund which
always finds its way into Missouri
during a presidential campaign, when
the money barons tap the barrels and
distribute the >!ush fund through the
organization channels
We repeat that the effort within
the party to retire these bosses is
| commcndahlc. but we notice that a
number of would-be leaders, not
above suspicion themselves, are lend
ing voice and aid to the movement.

their own interests.
But the cock-sure attitude Oh Mis-
souri, Republicans has given way to
deep gloom. as they realize that their
hopes for seat at the pie counter
have again been blasted.

Judge Henry I.amm has sidestepped
