am for James A. Houchin for Gov
ernor because have found him 10 be
q man among men, and always true
gentleman. AS a farmer he stands
for the things that, if put into effect,
will benefit the farmers of Missouri.
He stands for honest and fair eiec-

A FARMER CONVERTED.

Your principles are absolutely right,
and are what every farmer should
give serious thought.
Further, it is my honest opinion
that if every farmer 81 the State had
the opportunity of hearing you and
would give your statements due con-
sideration your success would be as
sured.

FEELS 1T IS DUTY OF DEM
OCRATS TO VOTE FOR
HOUCHIN.

l have known Mr.. Houchin person
ally for ten years. He is competitor
of mine in the horse business in Jef-
ferson City, where we both live, and
l am very intimately acquainted with
him.
To say the least, he is one Of the
most energetic, broad-minded and en-
terprising men in the State and
heartily endorse his platform and
think it is to the interest of every
citizen in Jefferson City and through
out the State, to do the same.

DESERVES ENDORSEMENT
OF PEOPLE.

He is a man of magnanimity and
self-restraint, who has borne himself
with dignity and exemplified the char
ity that thinks TO evil, and who has
lived above the fog of detraction and
the miasma of falsehood. This is the
man, if entrusted, will give this great
State of Missouri a practical business
administration and deserves the en-
dorsement of the citizens of jefferson
City, Cole County, and the great en-
pire State of Missouri.

HAS CONFIDENCE IN
HOUCHIN.

Your Missouri friends are proud
of the showing you have made as the
States strongest man. At this crisis
we believe you can turn the tide and
redeem our grand old State from the
Republican extravaganza and will give
us a clean business administration if
nominated and elected, which 1 be-
lieve you will be. l have full conf
dence in the principles for which you
stand. If nominated you will be elect
ed and will be Governor of the whole
people.

We have known Mr.. Houchin for a
number of years, and can willingly
and cheerfully recommend him as a
business man capable of taking care
of the interests of our State. And we
believe if he is elected, the State will
receive the same honest and conscien-
tious attention that has made his own
business a grand success.

HOUCHIN MY CANDIDATE.

1t gives me great pleasure 70 state
that in all my dealings with James A.
Houchin l have found him to be trust
worthy, prompt IA virtue not always
found in business mem, and capable.
1 regard him as eminently success
full in business, as is evidenced by the
growth of his manufacturing plant
from small affair beset with diff
culties, to the largest in central Mis-
souri, and believe that he is capable
of handling the business of the State
in a business-like way.

HE IS NEARER TO THE
FARMER.

being out of the ordinary course of
politics and in line with what we
farmers have advocated in our union
meetings, and, being a farmer and
member of the Farmers Union of
Missouri, I can conscientiously rec
ommend him to the farmers, and ask
all farmers and laborers to cast their
votes for him as being nearer to them
than the other candidates in the field.

We are getting absolutely tired Of
one set of men getting into office and
us'ng that office as the stepping stone
to another. What Missouri needs to
carry her to the front is a business
man in a business place.
The people of Missouri should vote
for you if you had only one plank
in your platform and that is the plank
in regard to teaching agriculture in
the public schools.

BUSINESS MAN VS.. POLITI-
CLAN.

The great trouble with municipal,
county, State and National affairs are
that they are in the hands of politi-
clan who put in 81 3-4 hours out OF
every twenty-four preparing them
selves for reelection to the same Of
fee or transferring to one as good or
better.
If the voters of Missouri will give
the matter due consideration 1 am
satisfied that James A. Houchin will
be the next Governor of Missouri.

Missouri needs as her Governor just

A MAN OF EXCEPTIONAL
QUALITIES.

In the candidacy of James A. Hou-
chin we have a man of sterling quail
ties and business ability, man who,
Il nominated and elected Governor of
the State of Missouri, will, with the
aid of his financiering ability, place
the State among the foremost States
of the Union by building its highways
and developing its resources. In Mr..
Houchin we have a man who is a
friend of the laborer, and he will see
that the laborer gets his just reward.
In my opinion a better man tkan Mr..
Houchin cannot be supported at the
August primary.

FAVOR MOVIES IN
! HALL OF SCHOOL
Board of Education, However,
Against Additional Expense
L for Insurance.

Placing itself on record as favoring
ne use of the High School auditorium
for motion-picture shows, the South
Orange Board of Education at q
meeting last night announced its op-
position to such entertainment in the
event OF additional expenses arising
from an increase in Insurance. The
board also decided that before NOV
ing picture exhibitions can be given
N the hall a standard booth approved
by the Board of Fire Underwriters
must be installed.
The board refused to declare itself
sn the proposition OF either favoring
sr opposing the application presented
70 the Village Board of Trustees for
. franchise to establish commercial
moving-picture theatre holding that
khe matter was entirely for the village
governing body to decide.
superintend ent Henry W. Foster
arged that the school auditorium be
more frequently used for entertain
naents. Throughout the country"
be said. "a demand is growing for the
larger use of school buildings, on the
Rround that the great investment in
VOWED belongs to the public and that
h IL in use for ordinary school pur-
poses only a portion of the time. This
veems to be a very reasonable point
II view, and It remains only to de-
sermine what use may properly be
made of the plant outside of the ordi-
nary school use. and who shall bear
the burden of the extra use"
Mr.. Foster called attention to the
frequent requests that pupils be ex-
elased early in order to get dressed for
dancing classes. In his judgment the
requirement of the school law for at
tendance through all the school hours
or equivalent instruction at home is
not complied with when pupils are
permitted to go home to get dressed
for dancing lessons. The board re-
uuested the superintendent to try
end secure a different arrangement
Of dancing school hours, SO as to
svoid such requests.

showed an enrolment in Columbia
