The Man For Governor.

One good way for the work
ing man to carry out his prin-
ciples is to ignore the four con-
sumers (the lawyers) who are
in the race for the gubernato-
rial nomination, and vote for
the one producer DANES A.
Houchin) on the 9th of August.
The tendency Of the times is
toward a more businesslike adj
ministration OF government af-
fairs. The sentiment of the
people at large substantially
proves this assertion. The
business candidate. JAS. A.
Houohin. is appealing forcibly
to every voter in the State and
hundreds are acknowledging
their influence and support
daily by letter and verbal at his
st. Louis Headquarters. Get
in line on the winning side and
vote for him.
The strongest assurance of
the success of a candidate for
office is the acknowledgment
of the press that he has the
qualities of a governor of the
people. Jas. A. Houchin, the
3 successful business candidate,
lis exploited by newspapers
more than any other aspirant
for the greatest honor the citiz-
ems of Missouri can bestow upon
a man, the Governors chair.
The reason, he is the logical
tcandidate for a Democratic
term. The old time majority of
fifty thousand will be polled at
his election.

sible that Georgetown will lead at the end
of the second relay. but it is not probable
that the Blue and Gray will do so any
longer than that. Golden of Georgetown

Jack Knight will not make the training
trip with the Nationals. Information to
this effect reached Manager Griffith this
morning in a letter from his new intielder.
1t seems that when Knight signed with
New York during the winter that club
promised to allow him to remain at his
studies of dentistry until April &. knight
insists that Griffith live up TO this agree
ment. and unless Griffith can induce him
to change his plans he will not report
here until that date.
Knight SAYS that he is taking daily
work out with the Columbia College base
ball squad and that he is really doing
more work this spring than ever before.
and that he is sure to report here in
splendid condition.
Griffith naturally wants 10 take him
south, and he proposes to make every
effort to have him report here not later
than March %. the day the team returns
from Charlottesville. While Knights alb
sence is rot considered serious matter
by Griffith. he showed plainly, however,
that he was annoyed.
Knight is studying dentistry, and he
says that if he left his studies sooner
than April 6 he would lose an entire year.
He says that he has so arranged his
work that he gets about three hours
work at base ball every afternoon and
that he will be none the worse for not
going TO Charlottesville with the team

cause he proposes to make his work such
that he cannot be spared.
