Ex Governor Stephens Sees Wells Foe Or Ally For Democrats
Ex Governor Lon V. Stephens arrives in St Louis amid debate over Rolla Wells as a Democrat. He warns the 6,000,000 Democrats may not tolerate Cleveland and the gold bugs, and signals potential party reorganization if Wells misaligns. He plans to move into banking and railroad work in St Louis within a year while remaining engaged in politics. He defends Nesbit law as party caucus origin but would pursue repeal if unfair. He says Wells is a good man but contrasts lines with party unity and local state influence.
