JEFFEBSON CITT, Mo., July a.-For
governor, Joseph W. Folk of St. Louis;
lieutenant governor, Thomas L. Rubey of
LaPlatta; secretary of state, Samuel B.
Cook of Mexico; auditor of state, Albert O.
Allen ot New Madrid; treasurer of state,
Judge James Cowglll of Kansas City; at
torney general. Elliott W. Major of Bowl
ing Qfeen; railroad and warehouse com
missioner, H. Rubey Oglesby of Warrens
burg. This Is the ticket nominated by the
democratic state convention, which con
vened Inst Tuesday and adjourned sine die
late today, after one of the most unruly
conventions that ever had been held In the
history of the state democracy.
Before the convention had assembled for
Its opening session the atmosphere was
full of rumors of bolting, discord and a bit
ter fight on the floor of the convestlon.
While there was no uncertainty- In tho
least as to the probable nominee for gov
emor, there was much talk about an at
tempt that would likely be made to defeat
Samuel B.- Cook for. the nomination for
secretary of state on the ground that he
could not be upheld by the platform that
was to be adopted.
Secret meetings were held of delegates
who were Instructed for him but who were
antagonistic to him. and wanted to with
draw from his support, and plana were
laid to accomplish his defeat, but when the
test of strength came Cook was nominated
on the first ballot with a great ovation.
Flchtlnsr Asralnst Bribery.
The Missouri Idea of fighting against
bribery and the corruption of officials
throughout the state' was the slogan of
the convention, and the" platforrn adopted
stands tor the stamping out of boodllng
and tho prosecution of corruptlonlsta and
boodlcrs to the bitter end.
Senator, Thomas L. Rubey was nominated
by acclamation for lieutenant governor.
All the other nominees except that of rail
road and warehouse commissioner, were
made on the first ballot. That of secretary
of state' was trade unanimous after the
announcement of the result of the ballot.
The contest' fr railroad and warehouso
commissioner was spirited and required
three ballots before the nomination was
deolded, and then it was made unanimous.
After the ticket had been nominated the
convention settled down to finishing up the
business before it,- and listened attentively
to the speecty of the temporary chairman,
Congressman Vandlver, when he presented
tho name of Judge W. N. Evans 'of Howell
county for election aa chairman of the
state central' committee. The nomination
was seconded by Harry B-' Hawes ot Bt.
Louis, who had contested the race with
Folk for the nomination for governor. The
rules were' suspended and Judge Evans
was elected by acclamation.
Judge Robert M.' Kern of Macon' and
Colonel Moses C. Wetmore of' St. Louis
were elected presidential electors by ac
clamation. Reports made by the congres
sional committees as to the result of cau
cuses held for the selection of members of
the state central committee were adopted
and tho business .of the convention was
concluded. ' . '
Bribery' la Para moan;' Isaac.
. On the subject of bribery,, the. eradication
of which la polntei out as the paramount
Issue of the party In Missouri, the plat
form Is:
The appalling exposure of corruption In
Missouri ha brought upon the good citl
sena of this state the responsibility of
stamping out the thlngn'that dishonor anl
oppress. Oood citizens may Innocently do
wrong, but toleration of known , abuse Is
criminal. No party can be hurt by getting
rid of rascalS. No state can be Injured by
the enforcement of law. The disgrace Is In
toleration, not in corruption. There can
be no grander mission in store for any
political party than to fight public evils.
The subject of the eradication of bribery Is
more Important than any other, for other
problems concern the functions of govern
ment, while this goes to the existence of
frovernment itself. Corruption In public
I fr, If tolerated, will lead to the destruc
tion of free government.
Where bribery Vules there Is a govern
ment not of, for. and by the people, but a
government of and for the few with wealth
enough to purchase official favors. Other
offenses violate the law, while bribery aim
at the assassination, of the commonwealth
Itself. In the city of 8;. Louis, according
to the confessions of those Implicated, for
twenty-five years bribery stalked through
tbf legislative halls. .Corruptiontsts great,
arrogant and powerful.
The convention then adjourned Until 10
a. m. ,";'. ','.' ,'.','. I. -
Kabey for Lieutenant Governor.
' Immediately after the convention was
called to order today the name of Thomas
L Rubey. ot Lagrande was placed before
the convention for the, nomination as lieu
tenant governor. He was nominated by ac
clamation. C. C. trow, a delegate from St. Joseph,
offered a resolution that a committee of
three be appointed to request Secretary of
State 8am B. Cook to refuse to allow his
nnme to be presented for renomlnatlon.
This was the first open declaration' that
there was opposition to Cook and Inntuntly
many delegates were on their feet demand
ing that the resolution be tabled. Tho
chairman declared that the resolution was
out of order.
Cook Is Nominates!.
The anti-Cook resolution was again Intro
duced. Its supporters and those against It
vied with each other In their demonstra
tions. It was finally referred to the com
mittee on resolutions.
Nominations wero then declared In order
for socretary of state.'
The names pluced before the convention

' Ilovr Oalesby Iost Hlu I.ea. 1
Rubey Oglesby, the nominee for Tailroad
and warehouse commissioner, was a freight
brakeman on the Missouri Pacific rallwuy
betveen Kansas City and Sedalla eleven
years ago, when he was 17 years old. He
left Kansas City one sero morning In Uo
cember. At the head of the 'Little Blue
hill, east of Independence, the train was
late and started down the Incline at a rate
since eatlmuted at seventy-five miles au
hour. The train was running away. Ths
engineer whistled for brakes.
Only young Oglesby of ths entire train
crew responded to the call. He crawled
over Icy box cars and set brakes. While
Butting one In the middle of the train a
car broke in two. Oglesby was thrown be
tween two cars, both legs being pinioned
to ths frosen ground. r- lis Was there fof
two hours before released and even then
he had1 to help with the Jackscrew to raise
the car. He was In the hospital for months
and finally his leg' was amputated sis
Inches from the-hip. , .
He brought suit sgalnst the railroad
company and., was awarded 16,000. The
supreme court affirmed ths case three
times, sra-nted rehearing, as many times
and finally about a year ago reversed the
case. In other words, after ten years' liti
gation, the supreme court decided Oglesby
had no case and forever denied him the
right to ssk for damages from the railroad
tor the loss of his limb, besides months ot
Suffering.
An editor In Warrensburg criticised the
supreme court In his paper. He was fined
$00 for contempt. This fine Wfs paid by
public subscription. ' !
A feature of Oglesby's campaign was the
descent 'upon Jefferso' City' of' sixteen
young women of Warrensburg, Including a
daughter' of United States Senator Cock
rell, who pleaded with the delegates In
Oglesby's behalf.;

FAIR NEEDS MORE PEOPLE
Letter to President Francis Calling Atten
tion to Attendance.
RECEIPTS HAVE NOT MET EXPECTATIONS
Believes ltastto Is la a Measure
Dae to the Lack of Interest
Taken oa Part ef the
Press.
BT. LOUIS. July Zl. Because they be
lle,ve the fair Is not being property ex
ploited by the press In this and othor
countries the national committee has
caused to be addressed to President
Francis of the exposition a letter which is
In part aa follows:
By direction of the national committee
I respectfully call your attention to the ap
parent need for an extension and enlarge
ment of the publicity feature of the expo
sition. The munificent receognltlon of the fair
by the general government . attracted na
tional attention. The Invitation extended
by the president of the United States,
under authority of law, to the nations of
the earth to participate In the expoxitton,
supplemented by the cordial co-uperatioii
of our diplomatic and consular representa
tives abroad, aecured the most extensive
participation ever accorded to any like
undertaking. Moved thereto by the exam
ple of the national government, the state,
territories and dependencies of the United
States Joined In the exposition with un
paralleled generosity and enthusiasm. The
groups of palatial buildings erected by the
foreign governments and bv the states
and minor subdivisions of our country, to
gether with the exhibits Installed In the
exposition palaces provided by the com
pany, hear amplest testimony of their
earnest desire to make the exposition a
pronounced success.
The buildings are completed, the exhibits
are Installed and the exposition, has bfen
In progress for substantially ' three
sevenths of Its a'loted period. The faith
j of the management In the merits of the
exposition nas neen justined ty tne ap
proving judgment of all who nave entered
the gates: out the dally attendance haa
boen far short Of what It should . be Xrom
sny point of view.
People Only Are Needed.
Unhappily the magnificent proportions
and the numberless attractions of the ex
position do not seem to be fully understood
by the masses of people throughout the
United States, whence attendance must be
chiefly expected. The results obtained from
the territory commanded by the press of
St. Louis warrants the belief that the un
satisfactory conditions prevailing would be
overcome If the country at large could be
adequately - addressed on whA Is to b.
seen, learned and be enjoyed within their
gronnds.
All the national, state, territorial arid
district governments participating in the
exposition are quite as much Interested as
the company In the diffusion of knowledge
concerning the merits of the exposition and
securing tne attendance of the largest num
ber of people who may find It possible to
n.1oy the benefits ana the pleasure of a
visit to the grounds. The details through
publicity may be widely extended and mlgnt
wisely be made the result of a conference
by a committee made up of persons ap
pointed by the exposition company, the
national committee and the representatives
of the government, states and territories
having ouly accredited commissioners ap
pointed to represent them.
Willing; to Furnish Matter.
The exposition company could well af
ford to aid and assist in the Dreoaratlon
of descriptive articles accompanied by plate
matter relating to different localities be
cause the creation of Interest in any lo
cality will contribute to the general pur
pose. But It Is not the Intention to here
attempt to detail the many ways of secur
Ing merited publicUy, which would un
doubtedly evolve l'.'om a general conference
by representatives of ail the Interested
forces.
It is far from the Intention of the com
mission to interfere with the operation of
any ot your plans, but It Is respectfully
submitted that the failure of expected and
necessary attendance at the exposition is a
matter of such supreme importance as to
command every available force in directing
tne attention or me people 01 ine wnoie
country to the attractions and merits ot
the exposition. -
. Should It .comport with your Judgment to
call the conference suggested the Commis
sion wll!:be pleased to co-operate with you.
Very . respectfully, . . . ,

HOME AFTER SPLENDID TOUR
Miss Mary MunchofI Returns from
Europe, Where . She Han
Achieved Kaw Honors.
Miss Mary Munchoff. one of Omaha's
successful singers, arrived In Omaha yes
terday morning. She Is visiting her frleuds
and family and will remain here until Sep
tember 24. On that dale she will mill for
Germany to take up her concert work.
Miss Munchoff has sung In fifty ooncerts
during the seasor.. She says that Germany
ls.a splendid place to sing in and that she
loves all muBlc, espechUly Schumann and
Schubert. "The German people," says
Miss Munchoff, "are brought up on muslo
and love it. They are In sympathy with
the song. People who are unable to get
tickets for the concert proper visit the
rehsarsals end listen to the artists. The
price of tickets to the rehearsals Is 60
cents. The rehearsals are held at It o'clock
and the concerts In ths evening-. The even
ing entertainment Is attended In full dress
and there Is always a very large crowd
present. In Llepslc there Is no private re
hearsal, but we step before a full house
filled with students and muslo lovers who
have paid their 60 cents to hear the muslo."
During the year Miss Munchoff haa sung
In Germany, Scotland, Russia, England,
Switzerland and France in fact, all of Eu
rope. She has gained a great deal In
weight. When she started Out to slug she
weighed but 104 pounds, and she now
weighs 147. Her manager declared that
she could not stand the work when site
began, but In place of that she has stood
It snd In addition her health has greatly
Improved.
Miss Munchoff says the languages were
her greatest difficulty when she went
abroad, but she has been able to master
German and French, and that at times
she finds It difficult to think In English
from having spoken the other two so much.
She believes that every American child
should be taught to speak two or three
languages in addition to English.

BEGINS WHERE HE LEFT OFF
Tax Commissioner Will Reeasno As
seasment of Parelaja Cor
aerations. Tax Commissioner Fleming- wsnts It
clearly understood that he will resume this
year- the assessment of stock In foreian
eorporatona at the point he left oft last
fall. It wSa for this reason thnt Oeorgs
A. Joslyn made Saratoga, N. Y., his resi
dence, according to Mr. Joslyn, who as
serted thst he had been singled out among
a great many Omahana to be tsed on the
shares of stock he owned In the Western
Newspaper Unlqn.
The tax commissioner wishes all per
sons encumbered with like holdings In the
city to know that he will assess their
stock If he can get at It
''I did not get the work of assessing cor
porate stock finished last year," says Mr.
Fleming, "but I plan to complete It this
year that Is, just as much of the shares
as I can bring to light To accomplish this
purpose and carry out the law I must have
the co-operation of the Board of Review
and the Board of Equalisation. Last fall
I was unable to do all along this line that
I wanted to and submitted a list of 50C
names to the Board of Equalisation of per
sons who had failed to return Schedules and
who might be supposed to hold shares of
stock In foreign corporations.
Board Does Not Art.
"I recommended that these persons be
summoned and examined. Inasmuch as they
had not filed sworn statements of what
they did not own. But the Board of
Equalisation did not act, and as a result
some Injustice was done to Mr. Joslyn snd
some 160 other property owners who gave
In shares of capital stock on their sched
ules snd who were tsxed upon suoh prop
erty.
"County Assessor Reed haa listed some
$124,000' worth of stock of this character for
assessment this year, which would be equal
to $600,000 worth at full valuation. All over
the state the county assessors are demand
ing and receiving returns on this class of
property, which the lost revenue law made
It plain Is o be taxed.
"No protests are being heard In the court,
but I should like very much to see a test
case brought and adjudicated.
"I cannot estimate how much the full
assessment of this stock held In Omaha
would add to the assessment rolls, but I
think the amount will run well Into the
hundreds of thousands. During the sum
mer I should like to have persons holding
different opinions than myself about as
sessing the stock drop In and see me and
thresh out the question so as to have It
fully understood."
WILL FIGHT BLANKET SYSTEM
Connolly Declares County Board
' Will Not Stand for Such
Assessments.
"We will oppose the proposed blanket as
sessment of Douglas county property to
the last ditch," said County Commissioner
J. P. Connolly, "and If the State Board of
Equalisation makes the assessment ws will
demand the assessment ot every county In
the state be advanced."
The Board . of County Commissioners
will meet Saturday morning and it la prob
able the blank assessment proposition will
be 'he bone of contention at tha time.
Commissioner Connolly eontlnued:
- "Douglas county Is' now puftng attout 96
per cent of actus.! cash valuation of prop'
erty and td advance it 10 per cent more
would be to Impose a tax upon the people
for something they did not possess. Why
It would simply be an outrage."
County- Assessor Harry - Reed returned
from Lincoln, where ha has been before
the equalisation board regarding ths mat
ter of assessments. T. A, Polleys, repre
senting the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis
St Omaha railroad, had submitted a set of
figures to tho board to show the compara
tive assessment here with regard to actual
cash sales of the property.
"Polleys' figures were very unfair to
Douglas county," declared Mr, Reed, "and
I moreiy pointed out a feW ot his absurdi
ties to the board. In the first plaoe he did
as was announced by The Bee In my Inter
view this morning that ts, he used the as
sessment made by City Assessor Fleming
In 1901, which was lower than is my county
assessment. He juggled figures around In
such a manner as to make my total appear
but SO per cent of that made by Fleming.
"In making his comparisons Polleys omit
ted entirely several of the largest sales that
have been made here where I had assessed
the property nearly up to the cash price
for which It had sold. If Polleys' figures
were on the square It would be a very
different matter, but he had connived to
make t.u.igs appear In a wrong light"
