| of his immediate predecessor, Joseph
w. Folk, Governor Hadley is the
| youngest man ever elected to the
office he now holds.
When Hadley was nominated for
attorney general by the Republican
state convention in st. Joseph, Mo-,
1904, he had little hope of election.
The Republican nomination for any
office in that state was considered but
an empty honor. However, he threw
himself into the campaign with all the
ardor of a man who hoped to win.
Then came the Roosevelt landslide of
November, 1904, which elected Re
publicans to all state offices except
governor and Herbert Eadley be-
came the first Republican attorney
general of Missouri in more than
thirty years.

come their nominee for governor.
His great fight on the Standard Oil
Company and for lower freight and
passenger rates had commended him
to the public and he was recognized
as the logical man to lead the state
ticket.
Hadley demurred His health was
poor, and he feared that he would
break down under the strain and
labor of an orduous campaign. Be-
sides there were comparatively few
Republicans who felt confident that
they would be able to duplicate Their
feat Of 1904 in carrying Missouri, ant
Hadley did not relish the idea of lead
ing another forlorn hope. After re
peated refusals to become the Repub
. lican standard dearer the Attorney
= general reluctantly consented to &C
cept the nomination for governor.
In 1904, the Republican nominee TO
governor had been defeated, but Had
ley was elected to the Office of attor
ney-general. In 1908 Hadley wa
elected governor, but the Republican
nominees for all other offices, witt
the possible exception of lieutenant
governor were defeated.
Hadley was born at Olathe, Kan
His paternal grandfather was Mort
Carolina Quaker who removed to Ir
diana In 1880 and who went to Kansa
territory in the early sos to tax
charge of an Indian mission. Tn
governors maternal grandfather wen
from Connecticut to Kansas in tn
stormy period of It's territorial hi
tory. He was a Presbyterian mini
ter, and he, too, went to Kansas on
mission of peace and good will.
Herbert Hadley attended the Olath
public schools and completed CO
legiate course at Kansas Universit,
He then entered the Northwestern la
school in Chicago from which he wa
graduated with the highest honors {
his class in 1894. With 800 which
had won as a prize in a competitiy
examination he went to Kansas Cit
and engaged in the practice of la
there. After less than four years
general practice, he was appointed a
sistant city counselor.
He was elected prosecuting attorne
of Jackson county in 1900, and
earned the distinction of obtaining
far greater percentage of conviction
than any of his predecessors in tn,
Office. Only six men went free in
total of about 225 felony prosecution
Hadley was defeated for re-electio
as prosecuting attorney in 1902.

COMMENT ON
UNIVERSITY

There seems to be very grave danger
hat the Missouri State University
will he seriously crippled by lack of
adequate appropriation for its mainte-
nance department during the next two
years. After careful figuring. the cura-
tors asked for this purpose S6l5.O00.
The appropriation committee of the
house has reduced this to $50O0OO of
which 100000 is to be paid out of the
general revenue and $200,OO0 out of
The collateral Inheritance fund.
This amount will not cover the pres
ent running expenses, and will make
it necessary for the board of curators
I" drop practically every teacher of the
rank of instructor, as they cannot af-
ford To make Il general cut in salaries
and thus drive away professors and as
~:-tant professors of high reputation.
The serious side Of this would be its
effect upon the students. The loss OF
many teachers would force the teach
Ing Of the students in larger sections
and the necessary elimination of
many "f the elective courses. espccf-
ally in the college of arts and science
In comparison with the rival univer-
stiles in surrounding states this would
put Mi>~ouri'S university at il great
disadvantage. The last legislature al
lowed for maintenance durin" the
vars 1907 and zoos the sum of Sl92.-
