HadIey After Major.

Jefferson City, Oct, Elliott W.
Major, democratic candidate for gov
ernor, has been extremely partisan
from the day he took the oath Of Office
as attorney-general in January 1909.
He has been really offensive in his
official relations with Governor Hadley,
manifesting an unfair and partisan spirit
toward him. He has made foolish
claims concerning his official record.
He has acted as if unconscious Of the
fact that the keen eyes Of one Of the
most observant and competent public
men in the state were closed to his
iollies. Now he is to be undeceived.
Governor Hadley is after him--alter
him good and plenty" Watch the
fur fly.
Governor Hadley's decision to heart
lily support the republican national and
state campaigns is unreServed and en-
thusiastic. He means business.
There was no other course open TO
the governor if he would remain active
and effective in Missouri politics. He
never thought Of supporting Roosevelt
and his new party and, Of course, he
would not think for moment Of con
tributing in in any way to the success
Of Wilson, Major and the democratic
schemers Of in this state. He is
not in the least adapted TO graceful
position astride a political fence. No
one who is acquainted with the man
and his methods has believed for a
moment that he would take stationary
position. He is bound to be active
He cannot be inactive when there i;
good political work to be done. Hi,
friends concede 10 him honesty il
conviction and extreme energy in &C
| iion. The democrats are afraid Of hin
because they know that his cause il
just and his language will be explicit
sharp and effective. What he has al
ready said about the political situation
in Missouri is unauswerable. Wha, HI
has said about the policy and success
Of the republican state administration
, is unanswerable. There is absolutel
no other course for any Missouri voter
who believes tha, our state governmer
should proceed along progressive line
and be freed from partisan democrati
control, than TO support the republica
ticket in this campaign.

County Sunday School Convention.

The Sunday School convention at
Hollister was called TO order at 2:15
p. m, Saturday, Sept. 28, by the pres
ident, Mr.. F. A. Forbes. Hymns s.
(Jesus, keep me near the cross) and
81 blessed Assurance) were sung,
followed by scripture reading and
prayer by Rev. Brown. Hymn "a
(Will there be any stars?) was then
sung. followed by some announcements

correct the evils complained Of. He
started upon a course suggested BY the
people at the time but could not sep
arate himself entirely from the demo
cratic politicians who surrounded him
nor could he overcome the machina-
tions OF democratic schemers who had
obtained a strong hold upon the polit-
ical affairs OF the state. Then Governor
Hadley was ,riumphantly elected and
soon made the dream Of good govern
msnt a glorious reality. Governor
Mckinley will continue the good work.
The Taney County republican. (Forsyth, Mo.) 1895-1992, 1912-10-10

When Governor Mckinley ran for
the republican nomination for United
States senator he asked no odds Of any
one but simply took his case TO the
people, going in and out among them
and taking them into his confidence.
Although he was opposed by able and
popular men he walked away with the
nomination as if he had simply picked
it up. In his race for the republican
nomination for governor he was invinc'
ible and received vote Of confidence
from his party.

son City, September 10th.

At the Republican and Democratic
Conventions held at jefferson City,
September 10th, each party incorpor-
ated a plank in its platform declar.
ing against Single Tax. These anti.
single tax expressions on the part of
the two great bodies adopting them

In order to deprive all but demo
Gratis Of representation in the state
senate Elliott W. Major approved re-
districting measure so monstrously un'
fair and illegal that the circuit court
Of St. Louis refused it 10 accept or be
governed by it and the supreme court,
by practically unanimous vote, set it
aside. And yet this narrow partisan is
pleading with the people OF the state
10 let him be their governor for four
years!

Governor Hadley, in his St. Louis
speech, September %, said that he
had been from deferred entering heart
lily into the present campaign because
Of lack Of assurance that conditions
he had complained Of in connection
with the national republican convention
Of this year would be changed. Said
he, If President Tat, whose personal
and political integrity no one has ques'
toned, will assure the American peo-
pie that he will use the power
OF his Office and his infu-
ence as head Of the republican
party to bring about the enactment Of
laws providing for direct presidential
preference primaries which will insure
the recognition Of the will Of the ma
jority then will I feel that he is de-
serving Of the votes Of all those who
believe that such reform ought to be
effected if the republican party is 10
succeed and endure" )"
In speech in Massachusetts, last
spring President Taft expressed him
self lavorably to properly enacted pres
idential preference primaries. When
the declaration Of Governor Hadley
was called TO his attention last week he
sent assurances TO the governor that
he had not changed his mind on that
subject and that he favors such a
method now for expression Of the real
will Of the people. These assurances
satisfied Governor Hadley and he is
now supporting the national and state
republican campaign and will have no
question marks or lis or ands to place
before the people. He iavors the re-
election Of TAFT and Sherman and will
prove a strong advocate Of the princi'
pies and policies Of the national repub'
lican party. He has never ialtered the
least bit in support OF the republican
campaign for the election OF state, dis
trict and local party nominees. It is
gratifying that Governor Hadley, whose
voice has been uplifted for several
years in behalf Of the redemption oI
the state from the abuses long prac'
ticed by his democratic predecessor:
and complained Of by the people vii

yoemanry Of Missouri 10 defeat the

our convention with the fist one he
attended in this county seven years
ago. Miss Lydia GOrsuch then sang
a solo, The hymns of the old church
choir" Tne following subjects were
discussed: How Sunday school con
ventions have helped our Sunday
school," what relation exists be-
tween the Sunday school and the
church" Interesting and instructive
talks on these and other subjects were
made by Messrs. MCGEE, Forbes,
Davis, Brown, Grimes, and Watts, and
by Mrs, Rullkoetter and Mrs. Brown.
The question was asked, How are
the Sunday schools being organized in
this county," Mr., Forbes responded,
telling the difficulties which lay in the
way Of the officers 10 organize these
schools. 1t was suggested thrt any
one was at liberty to organize a Sunday
school where one was needed.
At the conclusion OF hymn lO6
Rev. Brown dismissed the convention
with praper, to meet at 1880 p. m.
The night session was called to or

oI hymn Miss Cornelia Craig gave an
interesting talk on The value Of the
cradle roll in the Sunday school" On
account Of the absence Of Rev. For

This subject was ably discussed by
several. Special music was furnished
by the choir. Benediction by Rev.

Blame Tramp for Weathers-
field Fire.

Indignant farmers and police
authorities from Windsor are scour-
ing the woods and foothills Of
Ascutney mountain in search OF a
tramp who, it is thought, was the
cause Of disastrous fire Monday
morning at the Joseph st. Clair
farm, about nile from Weathers-
field Center. The house was occu-
pied by Peter Jarvis, jr.s Mrs.
Jarvis and tw, children, who were
made homeless and lost all their
property.
The fire was discovered at l
o'clock at the end of the barn, and
the south wind drove it through the
structure to Ahe long ell, which
connected with the house. The
neighbors were successful in getting
4 portion of the furniture out Of the
dwelling.
In the barn IS head OF cattle were
burned as were nine pigs and about
200 hens and ducks. Charles Martin
of Ascutneyville, lost about $500
worth of cattle housed at this farm.

INVITED ALL AS HIS GUESTS
Llszt's Prineely Acknowledgment o.
the Applause Given Him
by Audience.

Karl Goldmark, the composer of
the "Queen of Sheba," has been con-
tributing "reminiscences of his long
life to a German musical magazine.
In recent installment he gives an
interesting account of the magnifi-
cent and lavish tastes of some of the
celebrated musicians of the past.
"Some of our great composers" he
writes, "were at heart 80 much the
grand seigneur that their whole
manner of life was ostentatious.
Chief among these were Richard
Wagner, Liszt and Anton Rubin
stein. Brahms, on the other hand,
who left a large fortune behind him,
led as simple life as Beethoven.
"Wagner's dependence on elegant
and luxurious surroundings is well
known, and this incident throws an
interesting light on Liszts expensive
and lavish nature.
"Once, on a concert tour, he
played in a small town. The hall
was not a third full, but the audience
was very enthusiastic and recalled
him repeatedly at the end of the
concert. The last time that he APP
peared on the stage he stepped for
ward and with the utmost serious
ness said:

TOWN HAD GREATLY CHANGED
TWO Good Reasons Why Citizen, After
Short Absence, Almost Failed
to Recognize IL.

Returning to Yonl1ers after abb
sence in Washington, Representative
John q. Andrus rode at night
through the city in his automobile to
his residence in Hudson terrace.
Passing spots that should have been
reasonably familiar to him in the
lower section of the city, he did not
seem to recognize them at all. Thus
it was in the principal business thor
oughfares. AT one point he was mys-
titled and spoke to the chauffeur.
'Where are we now, John ?" he in
quired.
'This is Main street and Getty
square," was the reply.
"Aren't. you mistaken, John ?''
said the representative. 81 don't
recognize the corner at allp
Probably not, Mr.. Andrua," was
the chaufeur's response. 'fYou see,
merchants have been lighting Main
street and the city officials have
cleaned it."
sNo wonder it was unrecogniz-
able," was the representatives COM
ment, as the motor sped along at the
speed limit of fifteen miles an hour.
