The Democratic platform adopted at the Jefferson City. conference last week is progressive throughout. Af- ter indorsing the platform adopted by the hational party at Baltimore, the platform takes up in detail the meas- ures more directly needed in Mis- souri. Home rule for the larger cities and the commission form of government by cities are advocated wherever the cities with certain restrictions shall desire such government. | The direct election of United States Senators and presidential primaries are the more vital planks affecting election laws recommended to the voter in the platform. Uniform tax- ation and more stringent laws affect- ing tax-dodgers are indorsed. The creation of a State public-utili- ties commission, with power to reg- ulate the price of gas, electric lights and all public service, is advocated.

Hadley then proceeded to dodge the issue completely. He said it was a pitiful thing that the party that stands for principle of good govern- ment should be divided and risk turn- ing the State and the nation over to the Democratic party. “By reason of that division there is increased hope of Democratic suc- cess,” he said. ‘I do not know how those who have resorted to the mis- taken policy of dividing forces, those who should stand for progress and good government, can be brought to understand that it isa mistaken policy that they are pursuing, and how it is contributing to Democratic succes in- stead of the advancement for which they stand.

The convention had been a trying ordeal for McKinley, but in the main he forced an indorsement of Taft and by the skin of his teeth he managed to hold the ticket together. But, notwithstanding this apparent victory for McKinley and the Taft forces, the sentiment of the delegates, and especially of the candidates, was lukewarm. There was no enthu- siasm over any proposition, and ef- forts to start a demonstration when Hadley appeared was as amusing as they were ineffective. PROGRESSIVE COUNTY CONVENTION SEPTEMBER 26th Township Conventions Will be Held to Elect Delegates September 21st. A call has been issued for Progres- sive party township conventions to be held September 21st for the purpose of electing delegates to the county conventioi: which will convene in this city Thursday afternoon September 26th. A meeting was held in this city Saturday afternoon and an attempt was made to indorse the Republican candidates for county office. This motion failed of passage and the county convention will take final action on the proposition of placing a county ticket in the field. Gen. Gordon Dead Savannah, Ga., Sept. 11.—Gen. W. W. Gordon, of this city, Brigadier General of the Second Brigade, First Division of the Fourth Army Corps, United States Volunteers, during the Spanish-American war and a Confederate veteran, died to-day at White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., according to a message received here. The body will be brought here for burial. He was born in Savannah on Octo- ber 14, 1834. Gen. Gordon served the Confeder- acy as an officer in Stuart’s Cavalry and later in the infantry. After the Spanish-American war he was one of three commissioners to arrange for the evacuation of Por- to Rico, serving with Rear Admiral Schley and Gen. John R. Brooks. In 1857 Gen. Gordon married Miss El- eanor Lytle Kinzie, the first white child born in Fort Dearborn. He is survived by a widow and three sons. For half a century he was the head of the cotton firm of W. W. Gordon & Co. nold. Meeker, Colo., Sept. 14.—A valu- able relic—peculiar even to this sec- tion—was found by County Assessor Bills as he was riding across Jose- phine Basin. It is a large bore cap and ball buffalo gun of the Hawkins make. These rifles were popular in the very earliest days of the West, but they are now even scarcer than the buffalo. The woodwork had en- tirely rotted away, but on the barrel, which was ina fairly good state of preservation, could be distinguished faint hieroglyphics which lead to the belief that the gun was the property of an Indian.
