Al Cape Girardeau the Coyrenor's
tour ended Wednesday evening
with a great demons ration. He
attended there the rsJ annual ban
quet of the Sou h2as: Missouri Re
publican Association, where he
made a speech full of hopeiulness,
good cheer and APT political sug-
gestions. Al S.. Louis the next day

cause he had observed how gen.
orally and generously the new

political bosses was little re sisted
Governor Hadley went into he
Southeast to accept an invitation
to participate in a wolf hunt in
Dunklin county and to inspect the
drainage system that has convert
ed swamps and waste lands into
magnificent farms. He was so well
pleased with what he saw that he
expressed the sincerest regret that
he had been compelled 20 veto a
drainage act of the last legislature
because he believed it unconsti-
tutional in It's terms. 1t would be
far from Governor Hadley to veto
any properly enacted bill for pro-
noting the great drainage system
by which millions OF acres of the
richest lands in the STATE are De-
ing brought under successiS.. cut
tivation. He did no: have lime to.
visit some points where extensive
drainage work is going on but he
made careful inquiry in order to
be fully advised about the fes sihu
ity and the cost of extensive irain
age and land improvement pro-,
jects now under way and fr con-
temptation. He is en- hus ia ste over
the manifest purpose 20 redeem all
of the low lands of the neits and
to encourage the incoming of new
settlers and the development of
agricultural, horticultural and min
ing interests and the creation or
industries that win make South
east Missouri more pros porous and
give it polulation greater in pro-
portion to it's area than that of
