Governor Hadley has decided to criminally prosecute those responsible for the “despicable article” that appeared in St. Louis, Missouri. Hadley regrets that he does not find it advisable to join Theodore Roosevelt’s third party movement but hopes that all progressive forces can continue to work together. Hadley believes that the Republican Party in Missouri can still be a “useful agency of good government.”
