Judge henry >. Priest, who is run
ling for the u. S. Senatorial nominal
ion of the Democratic ticket, made a
peech at Ste Genevieve Monday ev-
ming. Some of those who heard him,
While admitting his right to run for
NY office he chose, did question his
light to run as Democratic candi-
ate as his speech failed to exhibit
he most remote indication of De-
1ocracy. He did not attempt to en-
orse the present Democratic admin
'tration, failed even to mention Pres
lent Wilson's name, but did announce
is answering opposition to the
eague of Nations, which he denom-
lated a League of Notions. But
ven that was not original. 1t has .
cen woefully overworked by every ,
pponent of the League since the
hrase was originally coined by a
erman. If it We're possible for
REST to secure the nomination he
eeks, he would be buried so deep I'M
err Democratic votes in November
lat the Lord would never be able to
nd him. But there is no chance for
lch a calamity overtaking the party.
