Even Judge, Lamm, who for want of an issue is following in the footsteps of, Candidate Hughes by induging in vague criticism has been able to find nothing specific to criticize and begs the question by a long winded analysis of the platform endorsing the administration, The Democrats of Missouri do heartily endorse the Major ad-, ministration as wise, efficient and economical and the people of the State join in the endorsement. The people i more than sat- isfied with the manner in which! the state's affairs have been con- ducted because : More progressive and construe- tive legislation has been placed) upon the statute books during the | last 4 years administration than can be found in any period of 10 years preceding; among the most | important tein: | The law creating the Board of | Pardons and Paroles.

HUGHES THINKS OF HIMSELF. In 1912 when Justice Hughes was a member of the United States Supreme Court and was asked to be a candi- date for President, he said: “The man who on the highest judicial tribunal would consider another office is fit neither for the one he holds nor for the one to which he aspires.” a living for themselves.

During the years 1909-10-11-12 being the four years during Gov, Hadley’s administra- tion, the public school funds ap- propriated and paid amounted to administration, the public school funds apportioned . and paid amount to $7,709,263.92._ Thus we find that during Gov. Major’s administration there was given to the publie schools of this state $696,104.99 more than Was given to them during the 4 years of Hadley regime. 3 istration has given to our public schools $894,194.89 more than was ever given in any preceding ad- ministration, Democratic or | publican, With this record and these ab- tradicted, what have our Repub- {lican friends to say? | The Democratic upon its record of accomplishment and the voters of Missouri having before them a record of ability, endorse the administration at the polls. 3500 HEAR DEMOCRATIC SPEAKING.
