His attack on ‘Wilson's foreign policies fell flat, and then when on top. of that. some unfeeling students of poli- tical economy propounded to him that fatal list of **What Would You Have Done*’ questions, he figuratively threw up his. hands and commenced to dodge. He then sharpened up his snickersnee and walked into the Adamson bill, but_after denting his trusty weap- on several times on the armor of public opinion concluded and ad- mitted that the only thing wrong with the Eight Hour law was the Bi fact that it was a Demoeratic measure.

The statement reads’in part as follows: “Unquestionably the drift of sentiment more recently has been in our favor. Probably as much will be admitted by every intelli- gent and candid observer. “*The Wilson contagion is in the air. Willing workers are prof- fering their services in great num-+ hers“and the demand for _litera- ture, lithographs, buttons and ad- vertising matter, as well as speak- ers, is somewhat unprecedented.

As the campaign progresses President Wilson’s prospects for re-election continue to grow brighter and brighter and candi- date Hughes continues not to add to his own popularity. True, Col. Roosevelt has jumped into the campaign and is pursuing his cus- tomary tactics of talking much and saying nothing worth while. But the Colonel has about worn brand of asinine beefing and the public has become rather disgust- ed with his shallow abuse. The Colonel has proven a disappoint-. ment to the Republican ieaders in this campaign. He was expect- ed to get out and entice the Bull Moose back into the G. O. P. cor- ral, but the Moose are litle wary of the Colonel. Having once vee $3.00 hich almost wiped the |i ea E this year. A big stock her 3» $33.00 to $15.00.

Meetings being~ held through- out the state by eomcrats, are attended by record brei g and enthusiastic crowds, while the Republican meetings show a lack of fighting spirit and the old time enthusiasm. Democrats are unit- ed in Missouri this year, deter- mined to win, while Republicans are divided, factionalism every, where apparent, and their most optimistic followers feel there is but little hope of success. We never gave the voters a stronger ticket or a better platform. We have only to stand and fight to- gether. Let every man do his duty this year, and our majority will not be less than forty thous-* and. Here’s what the New York Tri- bune, foremost republican news- paper, says: It would be idle to pretend that the portion of Mr. Hughes’ address which deals with the Lusitania massacre and our relations with Germany is satis- factory to The Tribune. Nor shall we undertake to make any such pretense. ‘ Mr. Hughes has been opposed to the income tax. National tax dodgers wi il find some comfort in ‘this.
