The charge made in the east that Governor Stephens is ‘‘an anarchist” The governor is one of Missouri’s wealthiest and most enterprising citizens, and has the best interests of the state and peo- ple at heart. Noris he a candidate “playing for the labor vote.” The governor has for two years stated that upon the expiration of his term he would resume his position in the ranks of the business element, and would ask for no further political honors. The governor is a man of both moral and physical courage, and now, at the end of his eventful term, he has the confidence and the good will of the citizens generally of Missouri. The republicans up this time have made no capital out of the strike, as they attempted to do. The demo- cratic authorities of the state of Missouri deserve credit for the man- ner in which they have handled the trouble and the people are properly giving it to them.
