tai stranger. and had full charge of the
cty's finances up to the election in
November, made full detailed tinan-
cial statement, was credited with not
having made one single error and re-

praise for his able administration. Mr.

vocation when injured 10 years age,
while in his barn, by neighbor boys
carelessly shooting at mark on the
building.

has made wide inroads into his savings,
nearly cost his life, has practically ruin
ed one leg and made him permanent
cripple. He purchased small farm of
20 acres southwest of Carthage. While
not able to do any farming. he is COM

splendid race under those unfavorabie
democratic conditions. He ran very
near the top of the county ticket, all of
which went down in defeat with one
single exception of Barney Parker, sher-
iff. Mr. Farwell received an except
ionally large vote in Joplin and south
west portion OF the county, where he is
best known.

right now than at any time since my in
jury" said Mr., Farwell, ~ am cam
paigning every day and have seen many
voters i did not meet before and will
see every one possible between now and
the close of the polls August I'd. OF
course I'm not getting about as fast as
some for | have not money with which
to own or hire automobiles or carry a
delegation of boosters with me, but it
has always been rulable and the custom
to give man another trial run for an
Office when he made previous race and
the whole ticket practically suffered de-
feat, as was the case years ago. l
have great confidence in the goodheart.
edness and fair mindedness Of the aver
age Jasper county Democratic voter,
and am confident they are going to
give me that one more opportunity and
the nomination for recorder of deeds.
81 have many friends who are and
will continue talking and working for
me without money and without price.
i have always treated every one fairly
and feel sure Pm not going to be forgot
