POLITICAL
FIGHT IN CLARK
Result Of Primary Held Tuesday in
Missouri-Talbott Leads for
Prosecuting Attorney.
rsneciaI to The Gate City.l

Especial to The Gate City.]
KAHOKA, Mo-, Aug. 2.-One OF
the warmest primaries ever held in
Clark county and the first congress
sional district was held Tuesday.
Great interest in the contest was
mainly centered with the democrats,
due to the fact that the district had
five candidates for congress to fill
the Office held for the past twenty
years by Hon. James T. Lloyd. OF
these five candidates. two hailed
from Clark county-John A. White
side and Charles F. Carter. Leaders
of each were busy, and during the
past few weeks a bitter fight was
waged among the factions. White
side carried Clark county over Cart
er. The vote was A65 to 1913. How
ever whiteside was not in the race
outside Of this county, but Carter,
according to late telephone advices,
is only about 100 votes behind Rom
jue. OF Macon county, with good
chance to take the lead and be re-
turned the winner. Barker, demo
cratic candidate for governor car
ried Clark county, with Roach and
Houchin as his nearest competitors.
Barker received 339 votes, Roach I'll
and Houchin 221.
For governor on the republican
ticket, John e. Swanger was a gen.
eral favorite, receiving total vote
of 600 votes; Judge Lamm second
with 116. Walter 8. Dfckey carried
the county for United States senator,
receiving 4O6 OF the 500 votes cast.
! There was a warm fight on several
OF the county officers, on both demo-
cratic and republican tickets. The
following named were successful,
with the vote Of each given:
Representative. Frank
M. Harr. Judge western district; Lew
is P. Muhrer, judge eastern district;

Carter, who appears to be the sue
cessful candidate for congress in this
district, has had wonderful political
career. He served two terms as rep
resentatsve from Clark county. He
was then elected state senator and
is serving his second term. In all of
these contests he was bitterly oppos-
ed by a large number in his home
county. When he entered the race
for congress he met similar opposi-
ton, but he appears to have a facul-
ty of getting what he goes after. The
contest for congress is not settled, as
yet, and it is predicted that when
the official vote Of the district is
made he will be winner, although
by bare majority.

Oklahoma Bandits
 Make S1l,400 Haul

Boswell. Okla, Nov. With loot worth more than eleven thousand dol lars, four bank robbers were last night making their way for the Kiamichi mountains.
 Late yesterday afternoon they en- tered the First National Bank of Boswell, commanded all persons in the institution to hold up their hands. gathered up the money, pro- ceeded to march their prisoners into the vault, and fled. A posse, or ganized immediately after the rob bery, gave chase, but hesitated in taking chances on crossing muddy Doggy creek, which is overflowing.
 In the bank at the time of the robbery were. w. w. Jcter, cash fer; k. C. Downing, book-keeper; w. w. Moran, vice president, and two customers. Jeter and Moran were forced by the robbers to assist in assembling the money, which con sisted of $4,4O0 in gold; 5000 in silver, and about $6,OOO in currency. The loot was placed in a sack.
 When the money had been col lccted the robbers, one of whom was masked, compelled the bank of ficers and customers to walk into the vault The vault door was then closed and the bandits fled. Those in the vault, after making sure the robbers had departed, pushed the door open, finding that the lock on the door had failed to catch.

Ceilings Jewelry
 Store Is Robbed

Yesterday evening between five and six o'clock thieves robbed the iewelry store of T. J. Ceiling on West Emerson street of two trays of watches, numbering approximate ly twenty, and a quantity of rings, the total value of the goods amount ting more than $500. Mr. Colling had locked up his store and gone home to supper. The thieves apparently gained an entrance to the back of Ceilings store by going through the vacant Donaldson build ing on South Pruet street. The front door to the Donaldson build ing was not locked The back door was fastened with an ordinary lock that can be opened with skeleton key. The entrance into the jeWelry store was effected through rear window, and the exit was probably made through the same window and the Donaldson store This morning Sheriff Grooms found one of the empty watch trays concealed be- meath some rubbish back of Col ling's store.

More Than Two Hundred Cars Loaded With Supplies Were Among Booty
 Taken By Falkenhayn

London, Nov 23.-The fact that word either di- rectly indirectly has from Bucharest, Rouma- nan capital since the capture by Teutonc troops and the additional German claim that Teutonc envelop- ing had for its purpose the isolation of large Roumanan forces occasions intense anxiety in allied quarters The fact that Bucharest makes absolutely claims concerning the safety of these forces adds considerable weight to the claims made by Berlin that the enveloping has at least been partially successful, and perhaps wholly Some element of satisfaction, however, is geaned from publication of re- ports that French Serbian and Monenegrn forces act ing in conjunction operating twenty-five miles east of Monastir.

Carter has written to Governor Hays, suggesting a special session.
 "The situation in Miller county and probably in several other coun- ties resulted because of the changes in the time of holding the state elec- ton from September to November without making any change in the meeting of the county levying courts. The courts are required to meet in October to make appropria- tiOns. The counties, however, did not vote on the three-mill road tax levy until November '. The Miller county quorum court and several others, state officials believe, re- fused to make the road levy until it was voted upon.
 ''It is probable, MT. Owen said, that the next legislature will be asked to change the present law governing quorum courts to make the two dates coincide and that the legislature probably will be asked also to offer some speedy relief for counties which voted the road tax in the election, but in which the quorum court did not appropriate"
