Master J. A. Hardy, 7, Wins First
Prize in Times Hamlet Contest.

Joseph Arnold Hardy. 7 years old
won the first prize of SIS in gold in
The Times Shakespeare reading
contest at the Garrick Theater Fri
day afternoon. So delighted was
Eddie Foy with the child's reading
that he made the boy give a Sec
ond recital
Master Hardy, winner of the SIS
gold piece, is the son of DR.. Joseph
Arnold Hardy of 6511 Michigan
avenue, and is a pupil at Des Peres
School. Nothwithing his ability as
speaker, young Hardy believes he
will be a physician when he be-
comes man, but announces with
firmness that he will be a special
list and not a general practitioner.
He began his career as a student
by learning to lead at the age of 4
years, and when he had reached the
sixth milestone he had read IS
books from the Public Library. Be-
sides wanting to be a physician,
Master Hardy has an ambition to
read Longfellow's Ride of Paul Re-
vere," which he considers one of
the most stirring poems he has
read.
He announced that he would use
his SIS gold piece as part payment
on a magic lantern, the rest to be
paid by his father, who had agreed
to double the prize won by his son.
II have always wanted a magic
lantern" he said, "and might as
well use this money to buy it,
st. Louis Times.
Master Hardy is the son of Dr.
Joseph Hardy who was reared neal
this city and at one time was one
of Monroes business men. All Of
the Monroe friends of DR.. Hardy
and family are pleased to heal
good words from them.

CHAMP CLARK
"OF MISSOURI"
Hon. Thos. M. Bell, Of Georgia, Says
He is the Only Man On Whom
Democrats Can Unite.

my opinion stands the best chance
of being the Democratic standard
bearer in 1912. Why? Because he
is the one of all those who have
been mentioned who could come
nearest to receiving the support of
all elements of the party. You can
quote me as standing pat for
Champ Clark. am not alone"
In these words Rep. Thomas M
Bell of Georgia, Democratic whip Of
the House of Representatives, add
ed impetus to the Champ Clark
presidential boom, which, it devel-
ops is being pushed quietly but
steadily in many quarters.
Clark is the only man / can
think of on whom all Democrats
can unite" continued Mr.. Bell.
And that will be the real test ap-
piled to each and ever aspirant;
can you command the support of
all?
CLARK stands four square to all
the winds that blow. He is al
ways a Democrat, always regular
and is absolutely unsophisticatedso
far as knowing the meaning of any
kind of a political deal with cOrpo-
rations is concerned. So anxious
has the Minority leader always
been to keep him self free from cor
poration faint that he has never
even used one of the telegraph
franks that are extended to Con-
eressmen to enable them to send
dispatches free of charge, nor has
he ever accepted free railroad trans
pOrtatiOn.
IF the next House is Democratic
as now seems likely, Clark will be
speaker. AS speaker he will give
the right of way to a lot of pro-
gressive legislation that Speaker
Cannon has held up for so long.
This will bring the MiSsourian into
the limelight, and that is all, in the
opinion of his friends, that will be
necessary to impress his availibili-
ty as Democratic standard bearer
upon the people.
There is no use talking, the Dem
ocratS must have a candidate in
1912 who has always been regular
We cannot elect a man who was
irregular and failed in supporting
any recent nominee of the party
no matter whether it was Bryan OF
Parker. Champ Clark has always
abided by the will of the majority
He supported Bryan Loyalty, and
not only supported Parker, but pre-
sided with absolute fairness in the
St. Louis convention, that nominal
ed the distinguished New Yorkel
and was chairman of the notifica
ton committee.
Clark. as l said, has no under
ground entanglements or alliances
Everybody knows exactly how h,
stands on every question. ant
where he can be found in any emer
gency. He is always a Democra
and always regular, and l couldn'
pay him or any other member G
the party any higher compliment
He never missed but one roll ca
in all his long service in the Hous
and was only absent from the Hous
three days in eight terms.
Another thing about Cham
Clark: He has never gone to Il
cloak room when a question was b
inc voted on. and every vote an
every speech will bear the close
examination. His record is AaN

Notice Of contest and appeal
against the election in Walnut Grove
was filed last week. the action being
brought in the name of w. J. Nc
Donald, represented by A. III. Ener-
sen as his attorney. The contestant
claims in his petition that at least
two illegal votes were cast at Walnut
Grove by Albert Dresow and John
Philips, in favor of license, and that
the vote should have stood 46 against
license and As in favor of it, instead
of as canvassed, Az for license to 46
against. AS stated by the Walnut
Grove Tribune, copied in another
column of this paper, Dresow admits
that he had only ten days residence
in Walnut Grove and that the license
advocates told him that was sufficient
to make him legal voter. The case
will come before the next term of
court, the coming month.
