HENSLEY SEEKS REELECTION

The following from Mondays Re,
public, under the above head, is the
first apparently official information
that we have received that Congress-
man Hensley is candidate for re-
election:
Representative Walter. L. Hensley
of Missouri announced today he will
again be candidate for the Demo-
cratic congressional nomination in the
Thirteenth district. The announce
ment was made at this time at the ur-
gent suggestion of Hensley's party
colleagues in order to remove any
doubt of the Pennington mans inten-
tons.
One of the most forceful speakers
in the House, Hensley also is warm
supporter of the administration on
platform fundamentals. Like most
men of independent thought, he has
at times advanced his own opinions.
He differed with some of his asso-
ciates on the McLemore warning res
olution recently, but is steadfastly
unfolding the President in sending the
troops into Mexico.
A speech delivered by Henslcy last
session on the accomplishments of the
administration was widely circulated
by the Democratic National Campaign
Committee, million copies being
printed at the suggestion of the then
Majority Leader, Oscar Underwood.

HOUCHIN SHOWS UP GARD
NER LAND BANK BILL
Law Drawn by City Man No Help tC
Farmer. ~

Many people have said to me: "Wt
want a rural credits system but We
think the Gardner Land Bank Bill is
vicious law-shall we vote for the
constitutional amendment? / reply
BY ALL MEANS, VOTE FOR .tht
amendment. Then enact a law thai
is not joke and is not vicious. The
Gardner bill would be funny if less
dangerous; that is true-it was not
drawn for the farmers nor by the
farmers. 1t was drawn by city man
to get farmer votes.
1t is no good because it limits the
loan to so per cent valuation. Farm
ers can get that and more without a
land bank.
1t is NOT A LAW. 1t is merely a
"scrap of paper" for which power
full lobby forced an endorsement
through the Legislature. Even if
this Amendment carries, the Gardner
bill will be as dead as any measure
that went into the legislative scrap
bag. 1t was unconstitutional when
endorsed and change in the consti-
tuition now cannot breathe into it the
breath of life.
1t is vicious because it puts the adj
ministration of the land bank in the
hands of partisan politicians, and I'M
der it's craftily worded provisions,
those politicians could perpetuate
themselves in Office.
A LAND BANK must do more than
regular loan companies will do. When
an applicant shows honesty, integ-
'rity and enterprise he should be per-
mitted to borrow rs per cent or more,
as in other countries.

MAJOR FOR VICE PRESIDENT

The Democratic State Committee
and the Missouri Democratic Press
Association, which met contempora-
neously in st. Louis recently, indoors
ed Governor Elliott w. Major as the
favorite son of the State for the
Democratic nomination for Vice Pres
ident That Endorsement has met with
favorable reception throughout the
State, and when the State Democratic
Convention to elect delegates to the
National Convention meets at st. Jo-
seph next Tuesday, we not only hope
but confidently expect that large and
representative gathering of Demo-
Gratis to give its full Endorsement to
the Governor for this distinguished
honor, and to elect set, of delegates
who will actively espouse his cause
in the National Convention and use
every honorable means and influence
to secure the nomination for him.
Republican politicians have es-
sayed to find good deal of fault with
Governor Majors administration of
State affairs, but their criticisms have
been of the usual carping partisan
character, with no foundation in rea-
son and truth, and instead of discred-
iting him among those who have fair
ly investigated his public acts, the
more firmly has the efficiency and
faithfulness Of his administration
been established in the minds of the
people. His executive and legal abil-
ity are unquestioned, and his adher-
ence to the principles of Democracy
is as true and steadfast as his bril-
liancy in their advocacy and defense.
Missouri presents Elliott w. Major
as a worthy running mate of that
strong, virile man now SO ably direct
ing the nations policies in one of the
most critical periods Of our country's
history, Woodrow Wilson, who will
again lead the Democracy to a de-
served victory in November.

REPUBLICAN RESOLUTERS

The Republicans in Township mass
meeting in Pennington on the 18th
inst. turned their prolific minds to a
series of resolutions. They "viewed
with alarm" and with deepest feel
ings of regret" "deplored" all and
sundry matters pertaining to the
Nation, State and County. The res
olutions were all so monotonously a
part of the old stereotype form Of
Republican resoluting, that we were
about to put them aside with the US
ual tired feeling that such resolutions
inflict on one, when the last para
graph caught our eyes and arrested
our attention. We looked again, Won
dering if our eyes had deceived us,
but no, there it was. Of course the
Republican panacea for all the coun-
try's ills which their imagination con-
jures up is to turn the Democrats out
and range Republicans along the pie
counter, then imagine our surprise
when we wiped our glasses and read
again:
1--WE call upon our neighbors and
friends to join us in a united effort
to rid Nation, State AND COUNTY
of the evils now prevalent and to as
sist in returning to the White House,
the Governors Mansion, AND THE
COURT HOUSE, a set of men who
love the flag, are loyal to the prin-
ciples of Republicanism and Amer
icanism."
And we are still wondering what
the seven or eight purple-linen Re-
publicans in the Court House have
been guilty of in the sight of st.
Francois Township Republicans, that
they should be classed as undesira-
bles and lined up with us pestiferous
Democrats.

THE HoUcHIN PLATFORM


Take the families off the payroll
2-Install the merit system for Penal
and Eleemosynary Institutions.
3-Use convict labor to build perma-
nent roads. 1t can be done without
additional taxation.
Manage State Institutions as you
would your own business.
5-Demand a dollars worth of SER
vice for every dollar in pay.
6-Put the paddock on useless desks
abolish idle clerks.
7-Systematize State departments
and stop the leaks.
8-Oppose progression from one Of
flee to another.
Put the penitentiary on a more
business-like and humanitarian ba-
sis.
10-Give labor square deal.
11-Stand for improved rural condi-
lions.
Better schools and school-houses.
Better churches,
Better roads.
12-Equal taxation--see that all pay
13-Encourage capital to invest in
Missouri. We need rail and inter-
urban roads.
14-Vote. for the Land Bank Amend
ment. We will then enact law
that will give needy farmers money
at low interest. The present law
would be joke if it were not so
dangerous. Read discussion of it
in another column.
This is the platform on which am
a candidate for Governor. / am not
hunting salary. You do not pay all
of your State officers enough to hire
me for the money alone. My heart
is in the principles l am advocating
I offered to support any good Demo
.crat for Governor who would champion
them. No man responded and l en-
tered the race. have an ambition to
accomplish what others have not done
and in some instances have not
tried.
Taxpayers object, and properly so
to means for raising more revenue
until better results are shown from
the revenue we now have.

Yours Truly,

We (the editor) have never had the
pleasure of meeting Mr.. Hensley, hav-
ing come and taken charge of The
Times after he had left for Wash
ington to resume his duties in Con-
gress. We have identified ourself
with the town and county and expect
to make our home here permanently,
for we like the people whom we have
met. What pertains to the advance
ment and upbuilding of the county
and the community we expect to adj
vocate and uphold; and it has al
ways been our inclination to encour-
age home people of our own politi-
cal faith who aspire to public Office
in district and State positions. The
foregoing letter is the first personal
intimation we have received that Mr..
Hensley would be candidate to sue
coed himself, though intimations that
he would be have not been lacking as
well as others that were doubtful; but
having this first hand assurance, and
his public record being creditable as
far as we have been able to Judge
we are disposed to extend him as g
home candidate favorable considera.
ton and such mutual courtesies as
we can afford.
