It ts the only paper in the west thas published the forged Cleveland letter wherein the dead ex president was made to endoree Taft over Bryan.

Loyal Democrats regard the Star's opposition as a badge of honor This is Democratic year, and tt te the duty cfevery Democrat to go to the polls aud vote the ticket straight from Bryan electors down. Don’t les your Republican neighbor talk yon {nto trading on a aingle man. A peraigls Vote elects the whole Demo- cratic ticket.

But the Kansas City StarTimes, the —_ radical sheet that sails under the talee colors of “Independent,” inslete on haying additional proof of tte forgery. Why doesn’t The Star. Times prove that the letter fs genu ine? The extreme limit is reached by General Hadley when he talks of hia activity against the Standard Oil Company. Hon. Chas. Nagel, of St Louls, appeared from the first as as sorney for the Standard Ol] Com pany !n Hadley’s case, and his briefe therein are now on file {n the case. Hadley knew these connections, yet as a delegate to the National Repub- Ncan Convention he supported Nagel for Republican National Committee- man, and he {s to-day {n constant touch with Nagel, who, as the na tional commi{tteeman, {s bending his efforts to carry Missouri for Hadle to his dearest friend. Usually you hear of him at a distance, and when run down he proves to be a genuine, unadulterated Republican. Who ever heard of a Republican campaign orator and especially a nominee of that party for high office, dealing out fuleome flattery of Sena- tor Stone. No, “old Bill” ienotthat kind of a Democrat. He has been fighting the battles of Democracy too long to have awakened any love in a Republican breast. In a cam- paign be neither asks nor gives quar- ters to the enemy When the fight fgon, you van alwaye find him onthe fireing Hine giving hot shot to the Republicaus, il The Kansas City Star makes pre- tensions to being an independent aperand has slways laid claim to avoring tariff reform, and yet it fs actively, persistently and peroicious- y supporting Taft for President, adley for governor and the whole Republican ticket, and yet it has the assurance in face of those facts to at- tempt to dictate to the Democrats of Miessourl who they shall vote for for Senator. Senator Stone can be congratulated by all loyal Demo- crats for having its bitter opposition, W. S Cowherd and Herbert S. Hadley, Democratic and Republican nominegs for governor, had & joint discussion down at Jackson the oth- er day. The Kansas City Star, in flaming headlines claimed Mr. Cow- herd’s complete annihilation, an2 published Mr. Hadley’s tirade of abuse and misrepresentation is full, but not one word that Mr. Cowherd made in reply Other and less preju- diced metropolitan journals publish- ed the substance of both speeches and most of them conceded that Mr. Cow- herd had the best of the argument. They were at least fair enough to publish what both aides and let the readers judge. 80 with the Star, which gave onlythe Republican side and expects tte public to accept its biased judgment. — ames W.

The Resolutions « Committee had It’s fingers crossed vowhan 6 “indorsed” the rights of ls- “ior at Chicago. Mr. Van Cleave branded the effort of Mr. Gompers to aveain recognition for organized la- ‘borat the hands of the Republican party “Anti-American plot.

It remained for “Theodore Roosevelt to the and Taft. For his private polltical purposes he heralds hie self-written, self-headed newspaper articles agalinet trusts, but always keeps, by his acts, close enough to the trusts to get the benefit of thelr pernicious influences, In this, like the liquor question, he 1s carrying water on both shoulders. With him it {s any- thing for a vote, and has been, ever since he has been in office. DEMOCRATIC EDITORS MEETING, The meeting of the Democratic edi- tors of the State in St. Loule last week was the largest attended and most enthusiastic of any similar meeting we have had the pleasure of attending. The morning session was held at the parlors of the Plant ers Hotel and was devoted to taiks from men of national reputations, who discussed the political situation as it came under their personal observation. Mayor Wells welcom ed the editors, and among other matter of conseclence that he had op- posed Mr. Bryan jn 1896 and 1900, but {s now giving him: loyal and en- thustasticsupport A well-known'Dem ocrat who had just returned from a spector, by appointment of a Demo-| against the gubernatorial nominee | workers from over the state. Hon. W. 8. Cowherd, nominee for ;Gov ernor, delivered the principal ad- dress, in which he took occasion to «newer Herbert S. Hadley’s Spring- field speech. Mr. Cowherd, ever a volished orator, was at his best, mercilessly flayed the Republican -omfnee for his campaign of abuse sud misrepresentation. He took up «n apewered each of Mr. Hadley’e eharges and pointed out wherein the (emocratic party always prosecuted »»d punished {te criminals when ex vr sed, while the Republicans pro- moted theirs to higher offices. Hon. John H. Atwood, chairman | of the Democratic national speakere bureau, followed Mr. Cowherd and hrought words of good cheer to Mis st url D»mocrate of the excellent con- Jitfone in the eastern states and all wwerthe country. He said he had no doubt of Mr. Bryan carrying New York, Ohio and Indiana, and gave eogent reasons for his belief. He said the factional fighte among re- publican leaders {n Illinois, with a united Democracy backed by the united labor vote gives the Demo crate a splendid fighting show tn | that state. BALL MEN FOR STONE, In view of the oft repeated charge of the Kansas City Star and Globe. Democrat that the Ball vote of the State ls opposed to Senator Stone, Tue Times has made a special effort in the past two weeks, through rep- resentatives to interview the Demo | | crate who took an active and proml- nent part in carrying Bates county for Ball, on their preference for Sen: | ator. The large number of Ball men interviewed, representing nearly every township in the county, with- out a alngle exception declared them- selves for Stone They all agreed that the fight for governor had no significance whatever in reference to the Senatorial contest. Itis confi | dently asserted by those who know | the eltuation best, that at least | olnety per cent of the Ball vote will - go to stone, We-had—a—very— | Opportunity to learn, and find that | the same condition prevails {n most | of the other counties, and espectally \is this the casein the western por | tion of the atate.
