 The company has been asked tO in stall four eighty candle power lights to give all night service on Whiting street, the new bulbs to replace the several almost useless incandasccnts which arc shedding a feeble glow Oil the street between SundoWn and mid night.

BOY COASTS UNDER
AUTO BUT IS UNHURT
EilisSon Morris Sled lis Dragged
by Wheels of Car For
20 Feet.

Ellison Morris, 10 years old. had
narrow escape from death yester-
day afternoon when he coasted into
an automobile driven by Will Vedder,
at the intersection OF Spanish and In
dependence streets. The boy went di-
rcctly in between the front and rear
wheels, but was not touched owing TO
the fact that the automobile dragged
the sled without overturning 1t. The
boy was frightened but unscratched.
Young Morris and number Of
friends were coasting down Independ-
ence street, during the noon hour. We'd
der was driving his automobile south
or Spanish street at a moderate rate
Of speed. He did not see the boy un-
til it was too late to avoid the acci-
dent
Mr.. Vedder threw on the emergency
brake with such force that the wheels
were stopped and the momentum of
the machine carried it for about 20
feet. The sled on which the boy lay,
slid directly in between the wheels
and it appeared that the youth would
be crushed under the wheels. The
sled, however, retained its balance and
was dragged along until the auto came
to full stop.
a large crowd gathered after the
accident, believing the boy had been
badly hurt. He was taken to a physi-
clans office, where an examination
showed that he was unhurt Ellison
then went back to school.

McCLINTOCK CRACKS
BOWLING RECORD
Totals 649 Pins in Three Games,
Yet His Team Loses to
Capahas.

Two local bowling records were shat
tered last night in the match Of the
Ideals against the Capahas at the
Broadway Bowling Alleys. Earl Nc
Clintock, Of the ideals, made a high
Ii ark of 649 pins, while the Capahas
totaled 1897 pins in the three games.
The Ideals were beaten by more
than 100 pins. despite the high score of
McClintock. Not another man of his
team passed the 500 mark. Of the
Capahas, however, only one man failed
TO pass this mark.
McClintock's nearest rival was fully
100 pins behind him. This was Henry
Hohler Of the Capahas with a total
Of $40 points in the three games.
The Capahas lost only one of the
three games and won the other twc
by wide margin. Friday night the
Wizards will meet the Wonders. They
are considered the weakest teams of
the league.
The score for the three games play
ed last night were:

A special meeting vii lbe held to-
night at the Commercial Club to dis
cuss further plans for this city's cam
paien to have the huge Government ar
NOR plate plant located in the Cape.
The meeting will be open TO every
one, and everyone who has sugges-
tions TO make vii! he expected to be
az the meeting.
The commission that will select the
site for the plant was appointed Tues
day. The members are residents Of
Boston, but were named because OF
their knowledge of munition plants.
The application Of all the cities that
desire to have this plant, which is to
be 4 S11,oeO,OO0 establishment, will
be placed in the hands Of this COM
mission early in January.
Cape's application for the project is
contained in a brief which will be sent
TO Congressman Russell of this dis
trict, who has already promised 70 as
sist the Commercial Club in securing
the plant for the Cape. In this brief
the advantages of Cape Girardeau
over other cities are given wide space
It is shown that Cape Girardeau is
centrally located city with all river
and railroad facilities that are neces-
saly for such a plant.
The brief will be accompanied by
plat on which the location of Cape
Giiardeau is advantageously shown.
Cape Girardeau on this plat is pictur-
ed as the center of large territory,
in which rich ore and coal fields are to
be found, and in fact all raw materials
that would be used in the armor plate
plant. A copy of this plat will be sent
to all the Congressman from Missouri,
and to United States Senators Reed
and Stone. Besides number of Con-
pressmen whose districts could not be
considered in this proposition will be
asked to boost Cape Girardeau in this
matter.
N. f. Leming, the incoming presl-
dent of the Commercial Club, said last
night that nothing would be left un-
done to secure this project for Cape
Girardeau. "This is not only a Cape
Girardeau proposition, but a Missouri
proposition" he said, "and for that
reason the entire State should come
to the aid of the Commercial Club Of
Cape Girardeau. The advantages this
plant will bring with it are numerous,
so great that they cannot be realized
at the present time"
"In five years the population of the
Cape will be ten times greater than 1t
is now. It would not be necessary to
erect the plant on the outskirts of the
city, just so we get it between here
and Thebes."

The political situation in Colorado
is rapidly settling down to a safe re-
publican basis now. What was still
left of the progressive party is join
ing the republican organization in a
body. The fight by certain people on
Governor Carlson because when he
took the oath to enforce the laws Of
the state he saw fit to make it mean
all the laws instead Of just a portion,
as most Of his predecessors have con-
strued it, is falling of its own weight.
The Governor has made good in all
his promises and the dominating of
a candidate by the democrats will be
merely a matter Of form, sacrifice
to party necessity. Every attempt
possible has been made by the press
of the democratic party and especial
ly the Denver Post to belittle the
governor but he stands higher today
with the people than any previous
governor at the end of his first term,
and they could not beat him with a
club The able assistance he has had
in the secretary Of states and treas
urer's offices has helped wonderfully
in making the administration popu-
lar. John f. Ramer took the office
Of secretary Of state when it had
sunk so low in efficiency and so deep
in corruption that it was hard to get
employees to admit where they were
working, and has brought it up to the
highest state Of efficiency and honesty
where it is the best revenue producer
the state has. These officers with the
treasurer and auditor have managed
so that the appropriations Of the state
will be all paid and with warrants
that are worth face value instead Of
the heavy discounts that holders Of
the states warrants had to accept
in the three previous administrations.

will guarantee that, under him, the
government will once more work with
vigor and force. He possesses that
habit of straightforward thinking
which means that his words will be
correlated with his deeds and trans
lated into facts. His past career is
the warrant for our belief that he will
be the unfaltering opponent of that
system of invisible government which
finds expression in the domination of
the party boss and the party machine.
His past career is guarantee that
whatever he says before election will
be made good by his acts after cleo

shows him to be n man of unbending

to be a man of original and trained
