Cardinal Won Faulhaber. archbish.

been melted down during the war.
People came also in immense

around to see the new and beauti-
ful costumes which had been pro-
cured for the famous play. The
last OF the rehearsals and the rep-
resentation for the press and for
invited guests had taken place. and
the universal opinion Is that a

The true position OF the Missouri
Democracy was expressed IN The
convention Of 1870 when there wis
fun indorsement Of President WI
sons policy and criticism Of sena-
tor Reeds policy Of opposing his
great ideals, going to the extent Of
refusing permission for Senator
Reed to 90 as 4 delegate TO the ma
tionai convention.
The large majority Of the Mis-
souri, Democrats outside Of st.
Louis and Kansas City still believe
Wilson was right and Reed was
wrong. Reed carried Kansas City
and St. Louis by $4,000 majority.
His majority In the State was
something over 5000. He carried
by big majoritiss half = dozen
counties where Republicans are
plentiful and Democrats are scarce.
How did he do itf Republicans.
