II is War to the Finish,

At this writing it is war to the fin
ish between Hyde and his partymen
who aim to trade promised legislation
for lucrative appointments for politi-
cal henchmen. The crucial test will
occur within the week. The metro
politan newspaper men will stick to
Governor Hyde.
The Kansas City Star Times which
is represented here by the flower of
its huge reportorial staff, Theodore C.
Afford, Phil S. Hoyt and Miss Fran
els Dixon, carried Sunday the same
Hyde defy to those Republican legis-
lators who are delaying his program
as did the Post-Dispatch and Globe
Democrat.
1t is all swarm stuff" for the met
ropolitan newspaper men and they
gloat over every line they pound out
on their typewriters before it is shot
across the state to be put into cold,
blackface type. Not since the days
of 1905 when the Republicans had a
similar heavy majority in the Gene
raj Assembly, and it was up to the
controlling aggregation to elect a
United States Senator, and dead
lock was on with the hour of adjourn
ment only few minutes away, has
there been as much bitterness, dis
cord and war with stone clubs in sight.
That memorial year as the hands of
the clock marked the close of the sesl
sion with the failure to agree still on
some Infatuated Republican assembly,
man threw a heavy glass ink well at
the face of the official time-piece of
the General Assembly forever shilling
its slowly measured faithfulness, to
give the Republicans the opportunity
to compromise on William Warner of
Kansas City as the next Junior Unit
ed States Senator from Missouri.
