FOUR G. 0. P. men In
RACE FOR ASSESSOR
Ben GOckel, Otto Hanny, F. j.
SchOen Announced Yesterday
They Would Oppose Villa.

Former Sheriff Ben GOckel, Otto
Hanny, both of Cape Girardeau, and
F. J. Schoen of POcahontas, announced
their candidates. for the nomination
for County Assessor on the Republican
ticket yesterday. Otto F. Villa of
GOrdOnville is the fourth candidate for
the office.
Mr.. Gockel is a Republican war
horse in Cape Girardeau County, and
has been influential in Southeast Mis-
souri, politics for more than twenty
years. Mr. Hanny is we'll known in
Cape Girardeau, but he is not as well
known in the county as Mr.. Gockel.
Mr.. Schoen, who is a merchant at
Pocahontas, was for sixteen years the
postmaster at that place.
It is believed that GOckel and Hanny
will divide the big vote in Cape Girar-
deau and Jackson, and Villa and
Schccn will run strong in the country
districts. Until the leaders begin to
pick favOrites, it is difficult to predict
which of the four Will be the probable
winner.
This contest, however. will be the
most interesting on the Republican
ticket 1t is the only Office for which
there are to be so many candidates.
Henry P. Gaines will make the race
on the Democratic ticket for County
Assessor. He is at present assessor
of Cape Girardeau.
There was some belief that Mr..
Gockel would be a candidate for
Sheriff. but his announcement for As
SCISSOR yesterday gives Henry Brinkopf
clear field. He will be opposed by
w. F. Schade as the Democratic
nominee.
Dr.. Arthur Poe of Fruitland has
announced his candidacy for Coroner
on the Republican ticket. No Demo-
cratic candidate has announced to
date.
Judge Edward d. Hays mas the Re-
publican nomination for Circuit Judge
nailed down. Judge Kelly is seeking
reelection on the Democratic ticket.
Charles C. Oliver is being urged to
make the race on the Democratic side
for member of the Legislature, but he
has made no decision. Capt. H. W.
Bridges, the present representative,
will have no opposition for the nomin-
alton from his party.
Russell Dearmont will be the Demo
cratic candidate for Prosecuting a. !
toGney, opposing J. Henry Caruthers,
the Republican incumbent.
Harry F. Alexander will probably |
be the Democratic nominee for State
Senator, and Col. Orren Wilson says
he has a toe-hold on the Republican
The Colonel has the ac-
tive support of Col. Matt Morrison,
the goose-bone weather prophet.
No active campaign is being waged
for any of the candidates for Governor
on either ticket. Judge Henry Lamm
seems to have an edge on the Repub-
ican situation, although the movement
has not reached any matured stage.
George H. Meyer, City Collector and
one of the most influential men in the
party, has announced him.

self for Lamm. Mr.. Meyers lead will
swing many others to the Lamm
movement.
NJ activity is being shown on the
Democratic side of the fence, although
there seem to be more Democrats for
Cornelius Roach than airy of the DEM
ocratic aspirants. Harry E. Alexan-
der, who was reported to be the man.
ager for Col. Fred D. Gardner, says
he is taking no active side in the
contest.

Slump in Steel Bookings,
Despite an Active Inquiry

NEW YORK, January 29.-The steel
companies placed more stress upon
specifications. output and shipments
than upon new business this week. In
fact. the volume of orders secured was
the lightest in many weeks. The rail-
road buying of equipment called for
less than one-half the tonnage placed
during the preceding week. The fall
ing off in building and bridge work
booked by the fabricating shops were
only one-third of what they were in
the previous week: high prices and in
ability of the structural mills to make
required shipments were held respon-
sibl.a.
Inquiries Are Plentiful.
There was no lack of inquiries for
finished steel for export The demand
for steel to be used in the manufacture
Of munitions abroad was especially
heavy, but few contracts were closed.
There are still inquiries in the market
for between 100000 and 100000 tons
of rolled and forged steel for foreign
shipment.
The railroad equipment orders includ-
ed 80, 900 tons of rails. 1880 cars, thir-
ty-five locomotives, 5000 tons of track
accessories and less than 1000 tons of
bridge work. The largest rail contracts
placed included 5000 tons additional for
the ST. Paul. 1000 for the Minneapolis
and St. Louis. 1000 each for the st. Joe
and Grand Island and for the Cincin-
natl. Hamilton and Dayton. There were
also orders for 1000 tons of girder rails
and 1000 tons of light sections.
