Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1908-10-22
Mr.. Hadley's Moral Fiber.


Without accepting it as an an
swer to the question whether or not
he believes the vote cast for him
in the investigated precincts of St
Louis was honest. it is something
that Mr.. Hadley replied evasively
to it at Paris by saying that the
man who wrote il did not have
sense enough to pour water out of
a boot. His further statement was
to the effect that, as he had no op-
position, there was no reason for
fraud in his behalf.
Again there is a demonstration
of the fine moral fiber of the man.
He is making a campaign i'll which
the chief issue, OF his own creation,
is the assertion that Cowherd's nom
inatjon was tainted by fraud. A
Grand Jury investigation, superin-
tended by his personal friend, Cir
cult Attorney Sager, disclosed that
the vote cast for Hadley was as
fraudulent as that for Walsh, Nor
rissey, Jones and CoWherd.
The dead as well as the quick
voted for Hadley. The missing, the
floaterS, the repeaters and the uh-
housed voted for Hadley. In only
a single precinct did the vote count
ed for him agree with the results of
the canvass made by the police
and nobody has explained that mir
aCle.
1t was made very plain that Had
leys friends padded and swelled
his vote that he might have to his
credit something that would i'm
press the electorate. But, declares
Hadley, as he had 10 opposition
there could be no reason for fraud
in his behalf. However, there was
fraud in his behalf In his behalf
the purity of the ballot was VIC
lated. In his behalf the sanctity of
the franchise was besmirched. That
he might appear TO have undivided
support of his party the vote for
him was padded.
Do we understand Mr.. Hadley to
say that it is right and moral and
proper and decent to make false re-
turns of votes cast when there is no
contest for an office, and wrong and
immoral and criminal to do the
same thing when there is a con-
test?
1t would please thousands and
thousands of people if Mr.. Hadley
would answer this question:
Does he believe that the vote for
him, as returned from the investi-
gated St. Louis precincts, was hon
est? The Republic.

HIGH SCHOOLS
AGAIN WINNERS

High School recovered her former
prestige yesterday at basketball. In
game played at the High School
grounds between the Nornals and
Highs, the latter won by a score Of
22-12.
The game was well contested though
considerable roughness was INDUCED
in. One Normal guard persisted in
swiping at the ball and missing it
every time When he missed, some
High School man invariably suffered.
Coaching from the side liners was
INDUCED in to large extent, especially
by the young ladies of the Normal
School. Another noticeable thing was
the throwing in of the ball by those
on the side lines. The team on whose
grounds a game is being played should
be responsible for this.
Lindsey Of the Norn1als and "Squid"
Marcallino of the Highs were the best
players on the field yesterday.
The next game viii be played on
Saturday at the High School grounds.
This will be the last game of the sea-
SON There was some talk Of arranging
another schedule as the boys are just
beginning to play. The Highs, how
ever, want to quit and get to practis-
ing baseball.

BASKETBALL
TEAMS FORMING
Y. M. C. 4. Challenge Stirs Up
Interest in the Sport
Considerably.

The item in last Tuesdays Adver-
tiser, in which mention was made of
the fact that the 7 NJ C. A basket
ball team were in the field for a series
Of games with any other organization,
has awakened considerable interest in
local basketball circles.
When the High School aggregation
We're challenged they passed the buck
up to the Alumni Association or rather
told the Christians to add a couple of
words to the challenge and make it
read. High School Alumni Associa-
ton The Y. NJ. c. A team are not
saying why they didn't avail them
orally believed that their failure to
do SO is attributable to the fact that
the alumni team would be composed
of the best basketbailers in Honolulu
The Miller Street Basketball Club,
which, by the way, is the Miller Street
Tennis Club under a new name, think
the can wal1op the Christians to the
tune of plenty-to-nothing The ma
jority of the Miller Street team served
their time on the Y NJ. c. A. teams in
former seasons and played with many
winning teams. A challenge will be
sent to the present Y NJ c. A team
some time this week.
Those from whom the Miller Street
team will be chosen are: Manuel Fer
reira, Frank Braneo, Charles Gilliland,
George Madeira. William Rranco.
Manuel Phillip and Joe Santos.
1t is the intention of both teams to
allow but little time for practicing so
the games will be pulled off in the
near future.
The question of courts is what is
bothering the players. The Miller
Street team want their courts to be
used while the 7. NJ. C. A s are fight
ing for the gymnasium floor. A COM
promise will probably be the result,
and the games be played on the High
School courts The members Of both
teams are all working boys. and that
throws a majority vote for the gym. /
floor where games can be played by
artificial light. However, the days are
getting longer now, and two twenty
minute halves with a ten-minute inter- j
mission could be easily played after
hours, before darkness set in. +

Lack of Accommodation on
Mongolia Makes Depart
ure Doubtful.

It is probable that the Lilliputians
viii play an extra season in Honolulu
but this win not be definitely determin-
j ed till today.
| Lack of accommodation aboard the
s. S. Mongolia is the trouble. The Lii
/ liputians are stop-overs here and as
such must take their turn as far as
accommodations are concerned.
The Mongolia due here tomorrow is
packed to capacity limit and it is UNI
known whether or not the agents in
Yokohama have made provision for the
accommodation of the company.
cablegram was sent yesterday TO
Yokohama to find out the state Of
affairs but SO far no answer has been
received.
The management refuses to allow the
children to travel by steerage and If
no cabin accommodations can be had
the company viii stay over till the S.
S. Alameda or Nippon Maru which
sails April 10.
The company is booked to open at
the McDonough Theatre in Oakland on
April Z, and a cable was sent to the
management of the McDonough yes
terday to ascertain what extension of
time, if any, would be allowed.
The company is playing TO full
houses and there is no doubt that BUSH
ness will continue good as long as the
Liiliputians are able to remain.
Last night the comedy IN Town
was presented and judging from the
applause was as much, if not more APP
preciated, than anything that the Lii
liputians have yet put on.
The. children played the famous old
Gaiety piece in a way which recalled
pleasant nights spent at the London
Gaiety when Fred Leslie, Nellie Far
rem and the famous corps Of chorus
girls We're delighting the English me-
tropoIis with the same jovial mum
merry.
The widows pas de quatre. danced
by Dottie Brown, Myra Finlay, Ada
Hind, Josie Walsh, Vera Bell and Irene
Finlay made the hit of the evening,
and it was only one Of a number Of
hits.
Teddie Mcnamara as Captain Arthur
Coddington, took off the part of a
London man about town splendidly,
and this Is perhaps one Of his best
roles. The rest of the cast were 50
good that discrimination
would be unfair and space forbids in
dividuaI mention.

ORIENTALS BALK
AT SEASON TICKETS

A meeting Of representatives of local
athletic clubs was held at the rooms
of the Promotion Committee yesterday
at noon for the purpose Of discussing
the proposed visit of college baseball
players from California and Japan.
Present were:
Patrick Gleason, F. E. Steere, John
Wise, Yashimori, E. Fernandez, Messrs.
Abe, Kong and Chuck Hoy.
Yashimori stated that the younger
element Of japanese did not feel that
they could pay S. for a season ticket
for the triangular series. He thought
that he could raise 5000 by the sale of
tickets TO Japanese merchants. He
thought that it would be d good idea
to ask each club to donate 800 or $3.50
to the good cause, and by SO dCing
raise a sum of $1,000.
T. E. Steere said that it was the idea
of the Honolulu Baseball League TO
turn over the receipts Of the earlier
league games to go toward paying the
visitors expenses.
Chuck Hoy said that so far as he
could see the Chinese merchants We're
enthusiastic over digging up S. for sea-
son tickets.
Ed. Fernandez reported having sold
seventy season tickets already
The meeting was adjourned till q
week from Friday by which time, il IS
hoped, more information as to the
wishes of the Santa Clara College and
Keio University teams viii be forth

doesn't necessarily mean that he
