W. Sil- vers my appreciation of his telegram of congratulations and his cordial let- ter promising his support, as publish- ed in the press of the district. I hope all matters of difference be- tween Democrats may be forgotten’ and that genuine friendship and unit- ed support of: all Democratic nomi- nees may bring complete harmony in Democratic ranks in the coming cam- paign. Every man has his right of first choice, which right should be those who absent themselves here- after except in the case of absence caused by sickness of the member or {his family.

E. ROBBINS, Secretary. JOE GHERE, . Treasurer, A Worl of Greeting. When the State Convention of the Democracy met two years ago a| Republican President sat in the White House and a Republican Governor occupied the Executive Mansion in Jefferson City ._ The Federal Senate was Democratic. The Democratic platfornf was only a series of prom- ises. It could be nothing else. To- day a Democratic President in Wash- ington gives counsel as to legislation to a Democratic Congress, while a Democratic Goyernor~ of Missouri greets the leaders of a united party. Instead of holding out to the people of the State, first of all, 1 new string | of promises, engrossed” on fresh, | white paper, the Democracy first. of- fers a well-thumbed document with check marks in the margin. It is the platform of two years ago. The Administration asks that the people of the State read the promises made in 1912 and then, in the light of per- formance, pdss. upon the fitness of the party for two years more of pow- er. The Democracy of Missouri need have no fear. It has kept faith - with the people. Its pledges have become rt | acts. It need ask only to be given its deserts.
