DID NOT HELP PARTY MUCH Missouri Democrat: In selecting Attorney General Otto for the seat on the Supreme Court vacated by the death of Judge Woodson, Governor Baker has disappointed Republicans all over Missouri, outside of Cole County, where Judge Otto l'esides. The new judge is a sonin-law of a close personal. friend of the Governor's, Mr. Dahlmeyer, but outside of that, and the fact that he has been a steady worker in the Attorney General's office, he had not much to commend him to his party. The fact that he is only 31 years of age, and has been practicing law for only about seven years, naturally places a limit on his political influence.

General Otto was appointed over the heads of Alfred Seddon. of Kansas City, as well as several other strong Republican party workers. Not only had Judge Seddon this to recommend him, but inasmuch as he is a Supreme Court Commissioner right now he had the prestige of that high office to draw the attention of the Governor to him. But all this meant nothing to Governor Baker, who is a law unto himself in matters of that kind. It is morally certain now that Judge Otto will have to fight for a nomination for an elective seat, and that he will have to face Judge Seddon and other stronger men within his own party.

Kansas City will have a strong candidate for the Democratic nomination for Judge of the Supreme Court in the person of Judge John I. Williamson, former member of the Court under appointment by Governor Gardner. Kansas City will make a very determined effort to put a man on the Supreme Bench of her own. Friends of Judge Seddon are counting much on local sentiment, and are boasting that they will recieve Democratic support for Seddon unless the Democrats get a Kansas City man nominated. poured soon force gravel end of square It is will be completed Neosho Governor Joseph W.

Folk used to say that the grafter is not the Democrat nor the Renublican but simply a criminal, and he prosecuted the grafters in St. Louis without regard to their politics. Possibly it just happened SO but in the whiskey scandals just uncovered in St. Louis forty-one men of more 01' less prominence have been indicted and only three of them are Democrats, the other 38 being Republicans. The three Democrats are Senator Mike Kenney and his brother.

William J. Kenney, and Mike Whalen, St. Louis Committeeman. Among the Republicans indicted are a number of prominent men in the party including two state officers under a former Republican governor. The Federal grand jury uncovered the theft of 893 barrels of whiskey from a St.

Louis warehouse, the value being about two million dollars. The internal revenue collector at St. Louis, A. J. Helmich, resigned when the crime was found out.

Other Re publican leaders indicted are Nat Goldstein who was a delegate to the Chicago convention in 1920 and Fred Ehrhrhrhrd hu in 1920 and Fred Essen, a boss in St. Louis county. All the others are more or less influential in Republican politics. Is it any wonder that the prohibition is not enforced when men like Helmich are given responsibility offices with its enforcements?
