When it was known that the Re- publicnns had earrled the legivlature Thomas Kk, Niedring- haus, the chairman of the Republican * state committee, became acandidate for senator and asked that the hon- or be couferred upon him for the great services he had rendered the party and the great pecuniary sac rifices he had made, The argument was pat forth by his campaign manager that he had con- tributed the princely sum of $21,000 and that i was this contribution that contributed more to the success of the Republican party than any other factor. Other men, aspiring to this position, questioned this con- tribution and the claim wasindulged in that others besides Mr. Niedring haus had contributed and that the names of the contributors were being suppressed, On the 3d day of December Thos. K. Niedringhaur, as chairman of the Republican state committee and as acting treasurer of said state com- mittee, filed an affidavit as provided by the statutes ofthestate. Thelaw requires that this etatement should be sworn to and Thomas K. Nied- ringhaus made affidavits to the trath and correctness of this report, and by reason of this fact all ques- tions as to his contributions were silenced and & great many members of the general assembly were influenc- togive their support by reason of this fact. Oa the Sth day of January, 1905, the Republicans of this state were called together in caucus and Mr. Niedringhaus was nominated as a result of said caucus. A few days thereafter, resolutions wereintroduc- ed inthe house and the senate de- manding an investigation of the re- port that was filed, and pursuant to »those resolutions, committees were appointed by both senate and house. The senate made a report in which all members concurred, Republicans as well as Democrats, that the result of their investigation developed the fact that Thos. K. Niedringhaus had not contributed $21.000; that $12,- 500 of this contribution was made by Adolphus Busch, president of the Anheuser-Busch Brewing company; that $6,500 additional was made by Otto Stifel, another brewer of St. Louis and that in fact the only con- tribution as made by Mr. Niedring- haus didu’t exceed the sum of $1,- 400, Had these facts been kuown prior to the Republican caucus, Mr. Nied- ringhaus would not in ourjudgment, have been the nominee of the party We feel that it would be @ great in- justice to the Republicans of this state to elect: any man to theexalted position of the United State Senate who is tainted in this manner. of this state, We are convinced that a caucue|’ was forced on the party nearly two weeks in advance of the usual time for holding caucus; that thespeak- ership influence made was to be used; SEED CORN RATEKIN’S IOWA SILVER MINE imperial (white) and Pride of Nishna (yellow) have been plant- ed and successfully j every county in Missouri for the ; past ten years, always beating | .

The Federal office holders have swarmed here in great numbers and have so far forgotten the dignity of their positions as to go on the floor of the house and esen- ate and personally importune the members to vote for his nomination, that {n justice to the party and to oureelves we cantut covceiveagreat- er wrong being perpetrated upon the ‘| party than would be nis election to the Senate at this time. under the cloud of suspicion, and his influence, it elected, would be Impair- eb and wou'd do permadent injury to the people of thostate. We further deplore the fi ct that Mr. Niedringhave, as candidate for the United States Senatorship and as chairman of the Republican state committee, has used the party ma- ehfnery for his own personal udvance- ment. The position we have assumed is in | the interest of the Republican party. We know our duty and the obliga- tions we are under to the party of this state, and we would be recreant to our duty as party men if we per- mitted Mr. Niedringhaus to beelected senator, and so believing, we have voted against him, and will continue 80 to do.
