Several times lately we have

our common schools to give
more room for the chemistry

have heard them answer old

They answer the children or

WHITEC0TT0N'S BOOM
FORMALLY LAUNCHED.
Monroe and Randolph County Friends
Capture Capitol
Republic Special.

Republic Special.
Jefferson City, Mo, May 10.
Some thirty five boomers from
Monroe and Randolph counties
reached Jefferson City today
and at once launched the candi
dacy of Representative James
FL. Whitecotton, of Monroe, for
Governor. In the crowd were
the following well-known Dem
ocrats: H. J. BIanton, editor of
the Paris Appear; John Cox,
Judge W. W. Barnes, Richard
Porter, head of the State Fish
Commission; Judge Crutcher,
Henry Outright, Joseph Muir
ply, J. H. Noel, James B.
Bailey, A. G Beaver, q. T.. Dry,
E T Wetmore, Ell Ptres, Olga
Meals, Colonel G. S Ownsby,
John Bower and George Burton.
These men fairly captured
Jefferson City and were enthusi.
astic for their choice to succeed
Governor Folk.
They expressed the greatest
confidence in Mr.. Whitecotton's
ability to capture the prize at
the State primary and come iu-
to Office with big Democratic
majority.
Mr.. Whitecotton has said
nothing in his own behalf. He
has been very busy during the
extra session, but !. 1T, is we'll
known that he considers him
self in the hands of his friends
and expects to make the race.
His boomers met a hearty re-
ception here among the mem
bers of the Legislature and
visitors, for Mr.. Whitecotton is
widely known over the State.
IF the Republic is as badly off
in its report of Others. as it is
in the gentleman from Monroe
(Mr. Cox was not there) the
boomlet was of an extremely
diminutive variety. And we
will bet a jug of buttermilk that
the boomleteers rode on trans
portation furnished by the Cot
tontail. .......a
At first the Republic sized the
boomlet and ooomleteers up as
sixty aud a sixty plate banquet
Then it began to slide down
the ladder..to thirty.fve. AS
matter of fact the boomIeteers
numbered fourteen and d part
of those were Randolph County
people.
Here is the size of the whole
thing: The pitcher has gone

times and the last time he ran,
it was against an unknown man
and his victory was only 445

The Democrats could not make
the bill a party measure and
even if they did they were no.

Another trouble was the fact
that there was no quorum in the
House and the Republicans there
