Roach the Logical Candidate.

In seeking to keep Missouri in
the Democratic column, because
its history has been splendidly
written by Democratic administra-
tions, We are all of one opinion
that the man selected to head the
ticket in this State next fall should
be free from fractional connections
and from influences that will hurt
the party's chances at the Novem-
Der election.
While other candidates have
been making fights on each other,
Cornelius Roach has been content
to go before the voters of Missou-
ri in a dignified campaign based
on the splendid record he has
made since he entered public life.
He has kept above and apart from
petty fractional differences, and

EFFICIENCY CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR
st. Louis Republic, February Is:

st. Louis Republic, February IS:
No man in public life in Missou-
ri possesses such comprehensive
knowledge of the States govern
mental affairs as does Secretary
of State Cornelius Roach of Garth
age. "A man Of great industry and
a master of detail, he has for
years set himself to the task Of be-
coming thoroughly familiar with
Missouri's government, her insti-
tutions, her history and traditions.
Upon any topic relating to the
affairs of the commonwealth he
is regarded as an authority. His
acquaintance with Missouri af-
fairs is equaled only by his vast
acquaintance with Missourians,
whom he knows by the thousands.
Efficiency is the keynote of the
life and public career of Mr..
Roach. BY punctual and pains
taking effort he has exhibited a
degree of efficiency and economy
unsurpassed in public office. Like
most men who are born and reared
on farm, he received his early
educational training in the com
mon schools. At the age of 10 he
began his career as teacher in
the public schools, passing from a
one-room rural school to the prin-
cipalship of a high school, and has
ever since taken keen and active
interest in public school matters,
as is evidenced by his jealous ef-
forts for their advancement.

ton in politics began with his en-

With the election of Con. Roach
to the gubernatorial chair the peO-
pie of Missouri would know that
they had a governor always on
the job and ever watchful of the
states best interests. His past
official record gives assurance of
q safe, economical and efficient
administration. He would have
no interests to serve save the pub
lie 3 interests. His familiarity with
the states governmental affairs
would give him knowledge OF
what to do and how to do it, and
in addition he has the courage nee
essary to the performance of any
public trust.

No one questions the fact that
Cornelius Roach would make a
good GOVERNOR. Two things
stand out prominently in connec-
ton with his candidacy: First,
he has such a complete grasp of
state affairs that he will be able
to administer the duties of the
high office in most capable man
ner, and second, his record as a
public officer serves as a guar
antee that the peoples business
win be transacted with fidelity
and an eye single to the public
good.

Alifications-he is honest, he is
capable and he is q Democrat.

of the state government.

SOCIALISM AND INTEREST,"
Which will it be, socialism or inter
est on money. The two cannot live
under the same roof. There are
many who are advocates of social
ism, but l have never heard one of
them denounce interest on money.
If we could do away with interest
on. money we would have no need
of socialism, for this earth would be
a heaven. There are over 100 mem
Bers in the U. S. congress who were
placed there by the workingmen's
votes to look after the interest of
the working people.
If the peace advocates were to de-
nounce interest there never would
be any more war. There could not
be. 1t will take 200 years for Eu-
rope to pay the cost of this war, even
if they don't have wars in between.
Stop and think who pays the bills.
The man with the hoe and the work.
ing people had better never been
born than be slaves to the money
kings. You don't have to live in Eu-
rope to be ruled by king. This
country is ruled by corporations.
One is a Democrat, the other a Re-
publican. Both are the same, work
ing for the almighty dollar. Neither
of them cares for the future welfare
of the human family. They never
think. that the child of today is
father of the man of tomorrow. In

WIND DOES HEAVY
DAMAGE AT JIMI0WN
Workmen Hurt When Wall Falls
Across SideWalk-Gale
Blows Cars Around

Jamestown, N. D., Aug. 3.-During
the most serious of the various squalls
of wind that struck the city yesterday
the front wall of the new Anderson
garage on Fifth avenue north was
blown completely down, falling out
across the sidewalk and into the
street. Two men were injured, one
receiving but slight abrasions that
did not prove at all serious. The
other, however, a workman by the
name Of Towidki, was sitting or stand
ing on the wall and was half buried
by the falling debris. He jumped to
his feet, however, and was taken up
to the Offices of Drs. Movius & Wood.
1t was found that he had scalp
wounds, body bruises, and an injured
hand, but it is not thought that there
is anything that will not respond to
treatment. A more complete exam
ination of his injuries is being made.

TWO HAnSI0RMS
DAMAGE GLENBURN
Strip IL Miles Wide Devastated !;
Buildings Blown Down-No
....... One Hurt D.

Glenburn, N. D., Aug. 1.-Two hail
storms, accompanied by high winds
and terrific electrical display, swept
over section of country about II
miles wide west of this city, devastat-
ing whole farms and destroying crops
on others from one-half to three
fourths. A number of buildings were
blown down, but so far no reports of
injuries to persons have been receiv-
ed from the stricken section, although
telephone communication with the
townships hit by the storm is impos-
sible today. "
The storm seems to have developed
about II miles north of Glenburn and
swept in a southwest direction, just
hitting the outskirts of the city and
continuing south. Neither Lansford
nor Grano on the south nor Mccall on
the north was struck. This indicates
that the storms spent themselves in
the territory west of this place and
largely between Glenburn and the
Mouse river.
The first storm which struck the
section covered a path five or six
miles wide and the hail was terrific.
This was followed in about a half
hour by another storm of even great
er intensity, which followed a path al
most parallel with that of the first
and just west of the one traversed by
the first, making the combined paths
of the two about IL miles in extent
In some places the two overlapped
and at others they were slightly sep
arated, the space between the two
suffering less than elsewhere. Where
the two storms hit the same territory
the grain was simply beaten into the
ground and is total loss. The same
condition is true of the sections hit
by the worst of both storms. In whole
twonships it is believed the grain can
not be harvested. One farmer who
owns two large farms close together
had his entire crop on one farm de-
stroyed by the first storm and the
same thing repeated on the other
farm by the second storm.
A number of buildings were blown
down by wind, which reached high
velocity and added to the fury of the
fhailstenesl which fell lin sheets and
