The pri rincipal candidates before
the convention for first honorS were
Gov. Wilson and Hon. Champ Clark

interest centered on the two lead
ing candidates and at times during
the long session partisans of the
contestants were wrought up to a
high pitch and lin a few instances
personalities were INDUCED in from
the platform.
Mr.. Clark received on thesfirst
ballot 44O IL votes. the largest
number cast for any candidate and
continued to gain until he had re-
ceived more than majority OF all
the votes in the convention but

Today is the 136th anniversary
OF the Declaration of Independence
of the United States of America.
1t does not follow that the States
have enjoyed absolute independence
for 1856 years. This independence
was only gained after a long ami
bloody struggle against vast odds
and the patriots experienced many
gloomy days in their struggle for
liberty, After the OppresSor had
been driven from the land and old
er nations acknowledged our inde-
pendence it was very natural that
a day should be set aside 70 cele-
brate the birth Of the new govern
ment, 1t has been suggested that
the correct day to celebrate should
BE- the battle that determined the
independence of the colonies but it
is Just as we'll and perhaps just as
appropriate to celebrate the day
when the struggling colonies formed
a union and pledged their lives and
property to the cause of liberty,
Wonder how many realize just why
it is so appropriate to celebrate the
great event, In celebrating we
should do so with judgment and
decency and not let our enthusiastic
get the better of our judgment, and
above all.let US keep sober and let
cannon fire crackers and dynamite
alone.

STATE HlGHW
Hannibal St. Joseph Cross-State
Highway Located Passes
Through Monroe City
Some Conditions.

SHltiC lliii' OtulC lllSl"uy LlSi-
neer, has located the Cross State
Highway from Hannibal to St. JOS
eph and his reasons are as follows:
Beginning at Hannibal | recon- |
mend the Paris Road out Of Hanni- |
bal thence through Rensselaer, and
Huntington to Monroe because it is
the most direct between the two
objective points, Hannibal and Mon
roe, and because the citizens along
this route give equal assurance that
they will improve it. This location
made on condition that by October
|, 1912. a reasonable rate of prog
ress be made upon the earth road
and good culverts be built; other
wise the selection is to be with
drawn for some other route.
The three contesting roads be-
tween Monroe and Hunnewell well
may be designated as North, Gen.
tral and South. We have assur-
ances that any one of these will be-
Immediately made a good earth
road. The Central is naturally the
best road and has the advantage Of
the present old gravel roadbed, ),
three miles, which is worth $4,000
and is one-half mile shorter dis
tance than the North and one mile
shorter than the South. But it is a
county line road and it is my OBJ
servation that the county line roads
do not receive the attention from
the counties nor citizens which other
roads do. 1t is more difficult to
provide means with which to build
and to maintain them. This is il
lustrated in the present bad condi-
ton of the three miles Of gravel on
this road.
| The North road is more ccnven-
lent to road gravel than either of
the others but for three miles near
| ly half the distance, has the dis
! advantage of being a county line
road,
i The South route gives a pelteI
! guarantee for construction and witt:
the exception of one-half mile has
the advantage of being within one
county and the Monroe special road
district which insures better main.
tenance. Believing therefore that
the south road gives the best asSur-
anceS for construction and main
tenanCe | suggest its selection. This
road passes down the main business
street of Monroe, leaves it at the
southwest corner, thence west 6 3-4
miles, thence | 1-2 miles north to
Hunnewell. Owing to the evenly
balanced condition of the three
:, Outes this recommendation is made
with the belief that the citizens
along sad road will respond to the
obligations placed upon them.

Considerable Arkansas and Louisi- ana stuff is coming, which sells at $3.40 to $500, about the same prices as were in effect before the break. Buyers want cheap cattle, hence the steady market on low grade southerns. Best stock steers bring $7.OO. feeders $740. Hogs received here this week Al, 1,700, last week 76, 200, same week last year 71,00O. Owners have administered effective medicine to the market this week by shutting off supplies, and the market has turned upward little, having ruled strong to a shade higher for three days. Top today is s7.35, bulk $7.30. Pres ent prices show good margin above corn. and feeders are plainly desirous of putting on weight On the other hand, packers are not concerned much about packing hogs away, being confident that the logic of events will put plenty of hogs in their hands later at q price less than current rates. Sheep received here this week 3l,- 500, last week 28,000, same week last year 26,500. The market on both sheep and lambs is 9 to 35 lower this week, because of liberal marketing all around. Here also dealers regard the heavy run as fictitious representation of condi'
