Announces In Sedalia Pa.
per He Wants Guberna-
tOrial Nomination.
HIS CHANCES LOOK GOOD
He Thinks MiSSOurianS Admire Roosevelt
and HadIey, but Don't Approve of
Their Administrations

w. S. Cowherd, who has been
spoken of favorably for the Govern
orship by many papers throughout
Missouri has declared his aspirations
for gubernatorial honors. He made
his formal declaration in letter to
the editor of the Sedalia Democrat
Sentinel, which was published We'd
nesday. =
There was no especial motive for
announcing my candidacy at just this
time, " said Mr.. Cowherd, Wednesday
night, according to the Kansas
City Journal, further than that
have been urged to do so by my
friends, and many of the papers of
the state have asked editorially and
otherwise where. stood. | have had
the matter of becoming a candidate
for the nomination under considera-
tion for a year or more. Prior to
that time, for business reasons, did
not think | would go into politics
again.
II think the time is auspicious in
Missouri, for the Democrats to elect
a governor, and there are several
ca Ies for this opinion. In the first
tslls while we admire Mr., Roose-
velt as a man very much the Democ-
ratio party in this state does not ad
mire his political policy or admin.s-
tration. His Capitalization ideas
are, | think, particularly obnoxious
to the rank and file of the party.
"Mr Hadley who may or may not
be the opponent of the Democratic
nominee in this state, also has my
greatest respect asa man, but his
political administration as indicated
by what he has already done and
said would, l believe, be far from
what the people want. Missouri DEM
ocrats are unalterably opposed to a
high tariff, which is the keystone of
the present national administration
"This state belongs in the Democ-
ratio column, and do not think the
time has been so auspicious for put
ting her back there for many years
as it is right now.
"Were the Democratic nominee to
be selected by delegate convention,
would not run under any considera-
tion, for l will not be the candidate of
any wing or faction of the party.
But the fact that the candidate must
be selected at the primaries puts the
matter in different light to me-
81 do not care at just this time to
be quoted with regard to any pos
sible candidate other than those al
ready announced Mr.. Ball is al
ready in the field, and Mr.. Wells, of
Platte, is also pretty sure to be in
the race. They are both good Demo

made no trade or arrangement with
anybody, nor shall I do so, If win,
it will be in the most STRAIGHTFORWARD
and out-and-out fashion possible.
81 expect, when the time seems
right, next spring or early summer,
to make a campaign of the state,
but am unable at this time to tell
just when or where I shall begin. 1t

One Of the Few Great Plays.

The fame OF Kate Claxton as the
blind girl, Louise, eclipsed for time
the brilliancy of the play, THE
Two Orphans, but the true great
ness of the play has restored it to
its proper place in the public mind
and it is now, in spite of all modern
fads, permanently fixed in general
opinion as one of the few greatest
plays ever written. A new COM
pany will be seen in the play at the
Grand Opera House, Lexington, Mo,
Monday, October the 28th and
Judging from the advance list of the
members it should give the master
piece with exceptional power.

capital stock of $4,000. The com

several towns in Kansas and Southern

account of the soil.
Mr. Morrison said that the company
did not want a bonus but only the
the assurance that it could have the
milk from 1000 cows. If the farmers
of the surrounding country could be

for the milk and would not ask for
delivery.
The Commercial club promised to
see what could be done.

KILLS HIMSELF
IN CABIN

John r. Price, an eccentric real
estate dealer Of Spokane, hanged
himself yesterday in cabin at Sill
yer King, Idaho. He climbed upon
trunk, tied the moose to his neck
and kicked the trunk away. In the
suicides clothes $1,000 in cash, a
note for 500 and valuable papers
were found.
Price was released from Medical
Lake insane asylum months ago
against the wishes of Superinten-
dent w. ]. Howells by jury in
Judge Sullivan's court. He was
there once before, years ago.
Prices estate is valued at $4,000.
His eccentricities were first noticed
several years ago when he imagined
himself an inventor and sold a pow
der to prevent the explosion of
kerosene. Then he started a res
taurant with business hours from
IL to l only.
Price was so years old and came
tot Spokane 20 years ago. In 1888
he married at Cheney but was di-
vorced after years. His daughter,
Miss Ortha Price, lives in Seattle
with his brother and sister. His
parents still live in San Diego, Cal
The remains are expected to
reach here today.

PAIR OF J0HNsoNs TO HEAD TICKET

against the overwhelming tide of
Roosevelt popularity engulfing all
the rest of the country, looms up as
presidential timber. When such q
man can repeat the performance,
and can, by virtue of his own per.
sonality and political stand, hold
such a state as Minnesota contin-
uously democratic, he must be
rated in the vote-getting class.
That is the political summary of
John A. Johnson.
The other Johnson has his testi-
monial from the city of Cleveland
through his battle against the solid
cohorts of sordid Industrial corpor.
atoms. Tom Johnson is we'll known
as a reformer, with a leaning to.
ward the Roosevelt policies.
Ind there Is something easy to
remember about the way the names
would look on the ticket.
John A. Johnson is the most re,
markable political phenomenon OF
the last decade. 1t never will be
forgotten that Johnson carried Min.
nesota by a majority of 1900 in the
same election when the state gave
Roosevelt for president a majority
of 161,464. In 1906 Johnson again
carried the state by a plurality be.
tween $4,000 and $4,000.

SMALLPOX STORY
REFuTED

The board of health Of Vancou-
yer, B. c., has been asked to retract
q statement it made referring to
Spokane as being dangerous place
on account Of alleged prevalence of
smallpox. Health Of1cer Grieve to-
day addressed a letter to the Van
couver authorities in which he
states that Spokane has been done
an injustice and that they are work
ing against this city's interests
without reason by discouraging at
tendance at the coming convention
of the Baptist Young Peoples
union. DR.. Grieve says Vancouver
has been misinformed; that there
have been only light cases Of small
pox here and there are now only %
cases in the hospital. No new
cases have developed in some time.
Most of the cases have come in
from railroad and lumber camps
and were taken out of cheap lodg-
ing houses.
In conclusion DR.. Grieve extends
an invitation to visitors and assures
them that there is not the least
danger from smallpox.

(scripps News Association.)

NEW YORK, June 20.-An agree
ment was reached between the
Commercial Telegraphers union
and the Western Union Telegraph
Co. this morning. There will be no
strike on this system. The opera
tors will now turn their attention to
the Postal company.
The union agreed to meet the
Western Union Co. half way and
secured the establishment of the 10
per cent salary increase all over
the country, abolition Of the sliding
scale and a standard rate Of pay for
all wires. All extra men will be
taken on at the 10 per cent in
crease.
In return the union valves the g.
hour day and the demand that the
company furnish typewriters.
President Clowry submitted the
concession by mail to Neil this
morning. There is believed to be
no doubt but the Postal will accept
the same agreement.

NO STRIPES FOR
SIDNEY SLOANE

When Chester Thompson arrived
at the penitentiary at Walla Walla
his head was shaved and he was re-
quired to don a striped suit. He
was then assigned to cell in wing
No. 5, set apart for insane prison.
ers.
The next day he and Sidney
Sloane were taken from wing No. 5
to the hospital ward and given citi-
zens' clothes. Other insane con-
victs, including such hardened muir
derers as Hoyt and Benson, were
left in wing No. s because to place
them in the hospital would require
a bodyguard for each man.
The change in dress and location
Of Thompson and Sloane was made
under directions from Governor
Mead. When the blue suits arrive
from Salem, Thompson will wear
one.
The criminal insane will not be
subjected to the regulations pre-
pared for the convicts at the state
penitentiary, under regulations is
sued by the state board of control
which provides only for the con-
finement and close surveillance OF
that class of inmates. The patients
sent to the penitentiary under the
Graves act will receive precisely the
same treatment that they have re-
ceived at the asylums.

HERE'S ANOTHER TRUST BUSTER

ing man.
Haskell was born on a farm in
Putnam county, Ohio, AZ years ago.
He taught school and read law in
that county. Later he engaged in
the railroad contracting business.
He got into politics in 1896, when
he stumped the state for Bryan.
Haskell came to Indian Territory
6 years ago as railroad builder.
He built railroads into Muskogee
and afterwards sold them. In 1905
he said that the only way to get
statehood for Indian Territory was
to get the Indian on record favor
ing It, So he organized the Sequo-
yah convention, and. with 1928 dele
gates, drafted a constitution, and an
election was held ratifying this con.
stitution.
1t was presented to congress, and
thus the movement for a new state
received impetus.
