SWEET HARMONY IN REPUBLICAN RANKS The following editorial commente taken from last week * Press shows theit deep placid exterior “sweet harmor ists (2) to a marked degree withir the Republican ranks of Bates coun- ty. Thecomments on the ommittee meeting and Hales’ atsitude toward the county organization needs no tn serpresasion, but the last paragraph is not so plain, to the uninitiated, as Bust we give it, “as ‘sls writ,” and let the reader guess “The Bates County Repub fcan Centralcommitsee was called tomeet at Ir, Lyle’s office last Saturday. The meeting was @ surprise to every one in Butler, except poss!bly two or three, ly was not announced inelth- er this paper or the Record, and neither of the editors knew of the meeting until directly after noon, When we first heard of !t we also heard that Dr. Lyle was going to re- sign as chairman. Later we under stood that some one of the commit teemen had talked the matter over with him and that he tore up his resignation. It is now pretty gener ally understood that {n the event of she doctor's resignation a move was on foot to have W. 3, Steele, of this city, elected chairman. Dr. Lyle wanted to ralse some money and this was talked over quite freely, and an effort will be made to raise $100 or more, of which the Doctor ia to have the tires $40 thas comes to hand, to relmburse him for money expended. The Doctor was very anxtous to be elected county chairman two years ago, and there fs some talk that he wante the office another term, though he now saye thas {tb has cost him 500 in one way or another i The real mystery about this meet- {ng was as to why {t was kept so jules, that only one or two in Butler knew anything about Ite-betng call ed. However, that may be, Post- master Wix and Postmaster Parrish _ knew about ft aud both were pres ent. “Willthe (Rich Hill) Tribune please inform the public juss how long Mr Hales has been in harmony with the county organization? It is not so very long ago since he overruled the county organization and turned it down fiat, when he endorsed Clark Wix for pestmaster of Butler. The county organization had endorsed 4, L. Fox.” “One wonders sometimes how far some men will go to secure the pur- poses of their ambition, There ts al- ways some risk of overdoing, that a conservative, safe man will carefully consider and endeavor to avold Others rush heedlessly on, to find fn the end the ruin of their hopes, be- cause they overlooked the ever watchful eye of the public, in thelr ef forte to dominate and force their way, regardless of the people, who are always more or less Interested. In the end {t {s always safe to trust the people. Once they know and un- derstand the real facts of the eftua- tion, they will do the right thing This {s true in politics, regardless of party affillations.” While other candidates have been pompously announcing their plat- forms, Senator Stone, when called upon for his, sald that the Demo- crate platform was always good enough for him,’ That when the Democratic platform was announced by the State and National Conven tions, that he would be found stand- {ng upon tt with both feet. That kind of talk {s refreshing in these days of individual platforms for per sonal aggrandizement, Old Ine democrats will sure appreciate {t.

It {fs appropriately illustrated with farm scenes, landscaped, stock, state fair, etc. Is contains the following paragraph on taxation: ‘Missourt has no ‘public debt and usually carries a handsome cash surplus fn {te tressury. The rate of taxation is only 17 cents on the $100 valua- tion. The lowest rate of any State fn the Union. Under the constitu- tion a majority of the revenue from this tax must go to the public schools.” for flattery. It cannot value.

Senator Stone made this proper reply to the N, Y. World, by lester & few daye aince: “You ask me, ‘What isthe best principle and what the- best policy to give the Democratic party new life?’ Ithink the best thing those who claim to be Demo- crate can dots to quit ratsing hell by abusing Democrats and the Dem- loeratic organization, and get into ine and fightfor and not against the party.” Senator Stone thinks there are able Democrats inthe State, fully equipped to creditably represent Mis- souri in the National Convention, who give of thelr time and means to | the party and never seek office with emoluments. Those men would ap- preciate these honorary positions. It {8 not necessary and certainly not modest in men who continually feed at the public erlb, to gobble up all these little honorary positions. We believe there are a whole lotof the bove In the trenches think the same way. —_——_——— Gov. Folk will open his campaign for the Senatorial nomination at St. Joseph Friday, of this week, thi 24th.
