Folk Men Will Practically Close
Headquarters June
First.
CONTEST FOR OTHER OFFICES.
Ffclit Against Cook and Allen Oc
cupies Center of Staj;e Since
Gubernatorial I face
Is) .Settled.
Announcement of Mayor Reed's with
drawal from the gubernatorial race wa."
received yesterday with satisfaction at the
headquarters of the Folk bureau In the
Equitable building. Though It hid been
anticipated for some time. It relieved
those who have been conducting the tight
against Folk's opponents.
So much did It relievo them that N. W.
McLeod. who took the Initiative In organ
izing the Folk bureau. &uld yesterday that
on the Bit of next month he expected to
close the headquarter" except for nece"
t.ary correspondence purponts. lie will re
tain Hal Woodslde and a stenographer.
Only one room will be used, and appear
ances will Indicate that only an ordinary
buslnts office Is being conducted. Instead
of a. busy bureau In louch with the news
papers and leaders In every county In the
State.
Mr. McI.eod expects to drop the work,
which he feels has now been practically
accomplished. From the Inception he has
been the head of the bureau and has ljeen
a balance wheel which kept matters run
ning smoothly. He picked Congressman
W. D. Vandiver for the active manage
ment of the campaign, and counseled with
the other members of the Executive Com
mittee. He attended to the most im
portant part, that of finances, and Is
readv to retire with the honors of hon
orable political warfare.
Politicians who discussed the Reed with
drawal yesterday coupled their remarks
with comments on the tight which Is be
ing made against Secretary of State Sum
li. Cook and Auditor Albert O. Allen. No
one pretends to know Just how It will
end. It Is conceded that much depends on
the attitude of the St. Iouls delegation.
The fact that there are contests against
the liawes delegates In most of the wards
makes his friends dubious about asserting
where. they will be In the convention on
any candidacy.
FI"K FACTORS TO CONSIDER.
File factors will have to be considered
In estimating the vote of the St. Ixul
delegation. Stuever will hao a certain
number of votes, which everyone consid
ers will be used to the advantage of At
torney General Crow If the latter enters
the contest, earnestly. Butler, provided
his delegates remain seated (he will have
some In the convention, whether or .no,
as In' some of hla wards no contest was
made), will probably act to suit his own
sweet will. W. II I'helps is fcupposed to
know something of the possibilities of the
Twelfth District deft-gallons.
Hawes's strength on votes for minor of
fices is unknown, though he Is considered
an active factor. Close and intimate
friends of Mr. Cook claim that they can
count upon the friendship of Mr. liawes.
On the other hand. Mr. liawes said yester
day that no promises had been made,
but that he has always been a friend of
M:. Cook.
When Mr. Cook was here & few days ago
he claimed that he bad 145 instructed dele
gates and 165 in addition, including the St.
Iuls delegates. This would give him a
total of 210 votes, only 46 short uf enough
ti nominate.
Michael McGrath, who Is running for
Secretary of State, though his name has
been on only one primary ticket, said yes
terday that according to his figures Mr.
Cook had only 110 instructed delegates.
McGrath Intends to go out in the State
June 1 after unlnstructed delegates.
Other candidates against Mr. Cook ar
R. IV. Mitchell of Nevada, who has a
number of delegates, and N. IL Musgrave
of Ash Grove, who, betides his own county
of Greene, with its eleven votes, has sev
eral other smaller counties. Each of these
gentlemen probably has about fifty in
structed delegates.
One factor In the situation -srhli-h ta
being considered with much care Is the
attitude of Circuit Attorney Folk, who
has about 100 delegates In the convention
instructed for him and no one ele. Wheth
er be will try to Influence them against
or for any of the minor candidates re
mains to be seen.
In response to inquiries. Mr. Folk has
always said that he was willing to leave
tha matter to the convention, and that
he was making no slates. Among his
chief advisers there Is a diversity of
opinion. So far nono of them has declared
for or against any other candidate. Judge
W. X. Evans and Robert H. Kern, who
are friends of Mr. Cook, have said that
they will take no part In the contest for
Secretary of State, and the- actions of the
conventions which they have attended
would indicate as much. Congressman W.
D. Vandiver Is not of the same opinion as
Messrs. Evans and Kern, but to date has
said nothing for publication.
THINKS McKIXUSY WILL W1X.
Editor Martin Saya Ills Cnndldnte
Will Get Republican .tomlnatiou.
A. J. Martin, editor of the'Unlonvllls
Republican. Is in the city In the Interest
of the candidacy of State Senator John.
C McKlnley of Unlonvllle for the Repub
lican gubernatorial nomination. Senator
McKlnley has been making the most act
ive campaign tor the Republican nomina
tion, with Editor Martin as his manager,
and has secured the Indorsement of several
counties.
"Republicans this year will certainly
need an active campaigner." Mr. Martin
said yesterday. "Senator McKlnley can
make such a race. He Is gaining In
strength every day. I think that he will
have the entire Republican vote north of
the river, with the possible exception of
the Ninth Congressional District, and that
we will go Into the State Convention with
oer 2T instructed delegates. In fact. I
think that he will be so strong by the time
the convention meeta that there will be
only one ballot taken."
All of which U not being disputed by the
friends of some other candidates who have
been mentioned. The report that former
Maor Walbrldge had told s-everal or his
political friends that he would not run
against Folk has practically eliminated
him from consideration. The attitude of
other available candidates, since the fore
gone success of Ilk has been accepted,
has discouraged Republican politicians.
Friends of Representative John H. Itoth
wcll are not saying much these days,
though it Is said that be does not share
the sentiments of Mr. Walbrldge. Both
Bothwell and McKlnley are known es
nshters. and as both have announced
their candidacies there Is nothing other
for them to do but to fight to the finish,

IMSPL'BMC 9PEX.1AX.
Kansas City. Mo.. May li In spite of a
cold rain that beat Into the faces of the
people who ventured Into the streets to
night. Joseph Folk, candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Governor of
Missouri, was greeted by n crowd of 10.OJ0
persons when he stepped uion the stage
of Convention Hall.
It was believed that few would venture
out on account of the rawness of the
weather. The newspaper ntllces were kept
busy until 8:3) o'clock answering telephone
Inquiries as to whether Mr. Folk would
speak.
When the prosecutor stepped upon the
platform he was greeted wth cheers and
lusty shouts that could be heard for
blocks. Umbrellas, hats and handker
chiefs were waved In the air. and the
chairman. J. M. 1-owe. was hardly able to
restore order long enough to say a few
words of Introduction. Again and again
the people rose In their seats and cheered,
and when Mr. Folk stepped forward the
applause and cheers continued for fifty
seconds.
REED REMAINED AWAT.
The politicians who hive been Identified
closely with the Reed faction stayed nway.
It was reported that Mr. Reed would sit
upon the platform, but he was not there,
nor was he seen In the nudlence. Mr. Folk
in his speech made no reference to the
withdrawal of Mr. Reed from the race,
other than that the light u gainst boodle
had ended In victory.
Mr. Folk did better In the big ball than
waH expected of him. It takes a powerful
voice to be heard throughout the big audi
torium, but Mr. Folk was he.inl ralrli-
well. Time and again ho had to stop for
cheers.
Crowds stood In the aisles throughout
his entire speech, as they could har bet
ter than in the rear of the building, where
there were sUII a few unoccupied seats.
Mr. Folk's speech had to do chiefly with
the boodle Issue.
The battle Is fought and won." he be
gan. "Right has proved Itself victorious
in the Democratic party. It Is now time
to rally all together around the flag and
present a solid front to the Republican op
position. Let all Democrats forget per
sonal differences and remember the good
of the party.
PEOPLE'S VICTORY.
"Tho people have won a. great victory.
They have taken their party Into their
own hands. The professional politician
must get out. The Democrats who are
spectacle shown in the perform
Company.
The performance consists of a fleet of
warships .steaming out from a scenic har
bor, with smoke pourlrg from (very tun
nel. A salute Is fired, signals exchanged,
and the fleet's drill commenced. At the
time, it 1$ difficult for the spectators to
realize that it Is not looking down, from
a great height, on a fleet of actual men
of war.
After the fleet has steamed back to its
anchorage its p:acc Is taken by a school of
smart-looking torpedo-boats that go
through the water like sharks, and give
a display of torpedo firing at a floating tar
get, i
After every successful discharge of a
torpedo a great mass of water leaps high
In the air In the vicinity of the target. A
little submarine boat then rushed In. with
A conning tower Just visible above the wa
ter surface. Its shot at the target was

Democrats for principle are In the saddle
and the Democrats who are Democrats

Mr. Folk praised the Democratic gov
ernment of the State fur the lowering
of taxes and the piyment of the State
debt. Then, turning again to the boodlers.
he sjld:
"Iiut we want no boodlcrs Xn the party.
I.pt them go uway off somewhere nnd
start a party of their own: or. belter .still,
let th-m go Into the Republican party."
It was a drumutlc minute when Mr. Folk
raised his right hand and said: "If I am
elected (!overnor. I promise you that the
first legislator who takes h. bribe. I will
demand his impeachment. The Ilrst rumor
1 hear that -eins to have the air of truth

For a few moments the crowd cheered
and waved hats and handkerchiefs.
Mr. Folk ended his sjieil with a. plea to
the Republicans wh love their State and
the honor of their Government ubov-e
party politics, to come Into the Demo
cratic party and help to make the bood
lers bolt.
For a half hour after he concluded and
tho meeting ended. Mr Folk stood uiion
the platform slutting hands with his ad
mirers. He .ald to a representative of The Re
public In regard to Mr. Reed'a with
drawal: "Mr. Reed's withdrawal will not make

be struck on the target.
The next Item on th? programme was
