Morgan, representetive from the 15th district, comes to the front with a character for Mr. Grif- fith. This is the same Charley Mor- gan that us old time Democrats used to “throw high in air our ready caps”’ and proclaim the “best Democrat ever.” He was our idol, because he would skin the Republicans to-a-fare- you-well and then some. He would call every Democrat by his first name, ask about his wife avd children and swear eternal feelty ‘o their cause and consign the Republicans to the hot place. But Charley had a change of heart when no more loaves and fishes were in sight. The Republi- cans were in sore distress, they were willing to turn to any kind of a Moses that would lead them out of the wilderness, and they even took up our Charley—and he proceeded to the reward, a return to the patronage table. The Lord hates a quitter, but he dispises a traitor and a renagade. Personally we like Charley Morgan, but damn his politics. His recom- | mendation will not go far with any man who regards highly the privilege of citizenship and respects honor and | integrity in politics as in other walks of life. Mr. Griffith is to be commis- | erated upon the high praise coming | from such a source. | i] LO STANDARD CALICOES 5¢ YARD Walker-MckK WHICH WILL YE CHOOSE? In the coming struggle, let us keep before us the high aims and correct principles of David A. DeArmond ~ and endeavor to send a successor to Congress who holds those principles and lives up to those aims. Last July ina debate Mr. DeArmond de- clared “Of course, I understand that a bad taraf bill will make party capital for us Democrats. From a_partisun standpoint I suppose some people \ ould be inclined to say the worse the biil the better for us. But I can’t sympathize with that view. We are all Americans and we want what will be best for the whole neonle. “Thad hoped that the bill would | carry out the platform pledges and would be really a progressive meas- ure that would lighten some of the burdens of the people, particularly the poor. But I have been greatly disappointed. So far as I can judge the special interests are in the saddle as usual and the bill which they have framed will give the country no re- lief. That seems to me a national | tion to bury all differences, shake hands and obliterate all imaginary chasms and all work together for the success and glory of the Democratic party. At night Champ Clark and Will Cowherd spoke at a banquet viv- en at the Ba:iimore under the auspices of the Democratic state press asso- ciation, and their remarks tended to further heal up all old sores and the, party to-day in the state of Missouriis stronger and better ‘ited than in its | whole history.

Congressional Convention at Butler Dee. 21, 1909. Be it resolved by the Democracy of the Sixth Congressional District of Missouri assembled in convention to nominate a candidate to succeed Hon. David A. DeArmond as follows: We desire to do honor to the mem- ory of the able, distinguished an: —.- emplary man who for nearly tweit, | years has represented the people of | this district with unchanging fidelity | in the Federal Congress.

Washington, Jan.—Secretary Wil- son was swilt in carrying out the de- cision of the President. He address- ed to Gifford Pinchot, Forester; Overton W. Price, Associate Fores- ter, and Albert C.

You will deliver possession of your office affairs, belonging to the Government, to Albert F. Potter, Assistant Forester.

In Ohio, however, | policies and tendencies of the hour.—| Where conditions in Republican ranks |W. E. Owen, Chairman. are very bad, iwo Republican Con- gressmen have been compelled to de- clare themselves. The one is How- land, who comes from a Cleveland district, and the other is Ned Taylor, whose constituency confers in Colum- bus, the capital of the State. How- land suddenly has become an out-and- out insurgent of the most rampant kind. Taylor blossomed forth with an interview in which he announced that if he isa member of the House, he will oppose Cannon for the Speak- ership in the caucus. Taylor is an old member of the House and an or- ganization man in every sense of the word. His frank explanation of his course is that, though he likes “Un- cle Joe” very much, nevertheless, he finds it necessary to throw him over- | board. At various times it has been report- ed that Cannon has decided not to /Tun again. Cannon has denied every jone of them.
