Jenkins, editor of the Kansas City Post is willing to wager that the delegation from Missouri In the next national convention will be solidly for General Pershing for president. Mr. Jenkins spent Friday in the city on business, which was to make arrangements with the general for a celebration In Kansas City next Saturday.

"All that his friends need to do is to present his name before the voters I am a democrat and, therefore, not in the councils of the republicans of Missouri, but the Pershing sentiment has been manifested so strongly that he who runs may read." "Missouri will be for Pershing, not particularly because he is a native son but becaus ethe people believe that he will make the kind of a president this country must have for the four years after March 4, 1920, a man with proven executive ability, a man of decision and character and a man who will control with a firm hand the growing tendency to substitute direct iction for law and order.

"If Pershing is filed in Missouri he will go over the top with a rush. Why, the people down there are crazy for him. I am only sore because you republicans beat us democrats to him. i The dmocrits wanted to name him, and it may be difficult to prevent them making it unanimous at the primaries."
