Missouri had her first election last week under the new primary law. According to the law both Democrats and Republicans are required to nominate their eandi- dates on the same day and with the same set of judges and clerks. The law does not seem to have given general satisfaction, and in some quarters an effort will be made to have 1t repealed. Gov ernor Folk is strongly against the repeal of the law, however, and thinks t can be made satis- factory with some necessary amendments. At the election last week Cowherd, Of Kansas City, won the Democratic nomina- tion for governor and Attorney General Hadley was named by the Republicans to oppose him. The Democrats of Missouri will vote for United States Senator in November, the candidates be ing Senator Stone and Governor Folk. The result of the primary last week k taken as an lndica- tion of Folks success, 1t being conceded that he IS strong in the country and will receive practi. cally the entire vote that was cast tor Ball and Wallace fol governor. The election of Foll over Stone IS eonsummation de, voutly to be hoped for.

 There's race oi men that don't it n,

 They are strong and brave and true; But they are always tired of the things that

 Real Reformers.
 A remarkable feature of the closing days of the struggle has been the at titude of the race track interests, who represented themselves as the only real reformers of racing. They claimed that since the Locke bill is admitted by It's supporters to permit individual betting, racing would continue, with it's evil phases more obnoxious than ever. The Locke bill reads as follows:
 Be it enacted by the general assembly of the state of Louisiana that any per son who either as agent, owner official o1 employe shall In any room, hall, house or any enclosure or upon any track, path, road or course, whether within or without an enclosure, in this state engage in encouraging, promoting, aiding or assist- ing in the operation of a betting book or a French mutuel pooling device, upon any kind of a horse race or races, or in selling auction pools upon any horse race ol shall by any other device encourage. promote, aid or assist any person or persons to bet wager upon horse race or races, run or trotted or paced within this state elsewhere, shall be guilty Of a misdemeanor and upon con- viction shall be fined not less than 500 nor more than $500 and imprisoned fo" q period of not less than SIX months nor more than F months
 Most of the Locke bill supporters con- tend this measure will stop all races ex- cept those at country tairs.
 The Locke bill will become a law 30 days after formal announcement of the gover- nor S signature

on balls. McNeal then threw the ball through Manning at first. The runner went to second. Ryan singled to right and Pearson scored.
 In the seventh, after two were down, Pearson was given his third walk of the afternoon. McNeal then turned loose a pitch wild enough for the runner to take third. Ryan, leaping into the air, smack ed one of McNears fast ones to left and Pearson again scored this run being that which balanced the tally sheet.
 In the ninth the Pretzels threatened to score again. McCafferty, first up, after striking twice at bad ones, found one that suited him to perfection. It was bad one indeed. He swung, then trotted down to first while Meek was picking the ball from the netting in the backfield. Pearson sacrificed him to sec ond but Ryan and Reagan were unable to deliver
 This strike-out of McCafferty reminded of the game we used to play down in the country. It is a case of making strike out as good as a base on balls and nearly as good as a hit.
 There were other ludicro-tragic fea- lures. In the eighth, after Greminger had walked, Perry attempted sdcIl- flee. The ball went a trife to MeNeaPs left and his efforts to pick it from the ground produced much merriment. One was reminded of a hen struggling with a worm too big to handle.
 The Barons had other chances to score.
 In the sixth Walters led off with base on balls. was sacrificed, sent to third on Downey's hit over third and attempt ed to score on a long fiy-out to Pearson. Walters, however, left third too late and Pearson's return to the plate was too perfect.
 In the ninth a rally was started with one down. McNeal smashed one to deep center. Just before reaching first, how ever he stopped to see how far the ball was going. He got no further than first.
 Manning and Demont went out easily, and the game was over.
