THROW OUT THE ENCOMPETENTS

What chance has Governor Cox to escape bearing the odium that at taches to the Democratic party for the failure of the Wilson administration? That nationally-known correspondent David Lawrence, himself a Democrat, says that the people are eager to know how far this Democratic nomi- nee is obliged to maintain in office incompetent Democrats;" that "a large body of voters want a house. cleaning in Washington, and they don't care much who does it;'' that this element as we'll as the people who are Democrats anyway but sick and tired of the Burlesons and the Creels and not altogether happy over Attorney General Palmer's policies, can be reached by Governor Cox if he makes it very plain that he will do a thorough job of housekeeping if elected'
 The main indictment which the people find against the Wilson ad- ministration is that it utterly fails to do the nations business promptly and we'll, and does it badly at ex- cessive cost. They trace it's failure to the type of men that MT. Will son appoints and to his refusal to re- move them, no matter how incompe- tent they prove, provided they please him personally.
 MT. Wilson is not content to ap- point Democrats; he must have Dem ocrats whose minds travel along with ms own, who are subservient, lack ing in independence and initiative, therefore dull, even stupid. It the law requires an appointee to be of some other than the Democratic party, the president goes anywhere than to the Republican party, which is the only other great party.
 Effects of this method of selection became glaringly apparent during the war. Men whom he put at the head of departments failed miser- ably, for example, Baker, Daniels, w. B. Wilson, and the real work was done by men whom he called to their aid temporarily from outside the political field, like Baruch, Hoover, Stettinius, Ryan and others. The emergency no sooner ended than these men retired, and they were quickly followed by the most. competent men in the cabinet-McAdoo, Lane, Red field. The only incubus of whom he got rid of was Creel, whose style of advertising the administration is con- trary to the ethics of every ad club in America. He clings tenaciously to Burleson, who has outdone any pred. ecessor in incompetent and tyranni- cal mismanagement of thes postal service. He put Glass at the head of the treasury department just long enough to force further imitation of the currency at the precise time when deflation should have begun. He would not part with w. B. Wilson and Post though they have constituted themselves guardians of the rights of

MEREDITH LEADING
FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL

That Hon. Willis H. Meredith of
Poplar Bluff is leading in the race for
the Democratic nomination for At
torney General, is the opinion of those
best versed in politics and from all
over Missouri come reports to the eff
feet that the Southeast Missouri can
didate is favored.
Southeast Missouri has accorded
him every possible support and the
newspapers of Kansas City, st. Louis
and all over the state very generally
favor his candidacy. The most recent
compliment comes from the very
shrine of Missouri education and law
training, Columbia, for on Saturday
the Boone County Bar Association
unanimously endorsed him.

time in Southeast Missouri as in other
parts of the state. feeling that neigh.

er endorsement could any one ask?
We do not misrepresent the facts
when we assert that the eleven coun-
ties in the Sixteenth Congressional
District will give Farris majority of
over four to one over the combined op-
position of all opponents. Coming
from section that has not had a
Governor for fifty years, these undis-
puted facts are certainly entitled to
fair consideration.
Farris Has the Ability
Among the list of candidates as
piring for the Governorship, there are
none in the class with Farris for abil-
ity. We say this with highest respect
for all Of his opponents.
Farris has had the Legislative train
ing and the legal practice that es-
pecially qualities him for the service
of Governor. Search his legislative
record from start to finish and you
will find that he has always stood for
the cause of education, of progress
and development in Missouri. He has

United States Senator Irwin L. Len
room, Col Robert Bruce Mccoy, Demo-
cratic candidate for governor, William
J. Morgan, Republican candidate for
attorney general, Henry Allen Cooper,
Republican candidate for member Of
congress and Peter M. Anderson, indie
pendent candidate for member of the
legislature from Kenosha county have
been endorsed by the "Dry" forces for
the coming election and voters in the
city today were receiving the formal
endorsement of these candidates. The
endorsement of Senator Lenroot, Col.
Mccoy, Mr.. Morgan and Mr.. Anderson
is most insistent one while the en-
dorsement of Mr.. Cooper as a candi-
date for congress has string to it.
The "Dry" leaders in the city and
county as we'll as throughout the state
have urged the people to vote eyes"
on the referendum on the Prohibition
Enforcement law.
Proposed by Vets.
"The Prohibition Enforcement law"
declared one of the dry leaders in Ke
nosha today, twas proposed and writ
ten into the statutes by men who were
in favor of liquor and these men to-
day are doing their best to secure the
defeat Of the law at the referendum.
They had hoped to make the Mulberg-
err bill an avenue by which they might
get around the enforcement of the
prohibition amendment in Wisconsin
The decision of the Supreme court has
made this law one which gives Wis
consin a chance to comply in every
way with the federal amendment pro-
viding prohibition and every person
who is in favor of the enforcement of
law should vote in favor of this law
at the referendum. 1t should not be
overlooked in the bitterness of any
campaign fight. 1t is important that
the people of Wisconsin and of Ke-
nosha county go on record as being in
favor of the enforcement of the law.
Remember this law was proposed by
the wet interests. Now let them have
just what they wanted. It's an ex-
cellent law to bring Wisconsin into
line for law enforcement"
Here Are the Endorsements.
The dry forces have not mentioned
many of the men who are candidates
for office on account of the fact that
many of them have been endorsed by
the wet interests and have accepted
such an endorsement. Here is the
statement made in regard to the vari-
Gus candidates:
