CDEMOCRAT-LEADER)

The announcement of Sam C.
Major as a candidate for Con-
gress from this district is a
source of satisfaction to every
one in the district. Not that
they love Mr.. Hamlin less, but
Mr.. Major more. Mr.. Hamlin
has held the office for twelve
years and has had an excellent
chance to show his metal. He
has been honOred for many
elections and with him the
southern part Of the district.
Howard county has never been
.honored with a congressman and
this fact alone should be enough
to give Mr.. Major an advantage.
But Mr.. Major will be elected on
his personality and his excellent
record for himself as he served
his people as prosecuting at
torney of the grand old county
of Howard and as he filled the
office of State Senator. The lat
ter office was filled so creditably
by Mr.. Major that there was a
question in many minds here as
to whether a man could succeed
him and not feel embarrassed
over his responsibilities.
AS a native born Howard
c%ountian with parentage which
traces it's ancestry to Kentucky,
Mr.. Major has democracy fairly
instilled in his very veins. He is
a democrat who will make
friends for himself and for his
party no matter where he is
placed. The Congressional dis
trict will make no mistake; they
will be materially aided and
honored by electing Sam C.
Major as their next congress-
man.

HON. Ohm 7. WAYLAND
(From the Glasgow M%issourian,
March %, 1850

(fIOm UHe GldoSOW Al9oOuAloi'
March 20, 1850
Some of the Democratic pa
pers in the southwestern coun-
ties are urging a third term for
State Auditor John P. Gordon
on the ground that he has made
a most satisfactory official, as
though the Democratic party
could not provide another equal
Ily efficient. Such an assump-
ton is ridiculous, of course, for
there are many such in the
state. Mr.. Gordon, with the
close of his present term, will
have held the office of Auditor
for eight years, long enough to
satisfy most people, quite long
enough for any party to keep
one man in Office. John 7. Way
land, who is asking the nomina-
ton for Auditor at the hands of
the Democratic party which he
has so long and faithfully served,
is in every way as well qualified
as the present incumbent, is as
deserving a Democrat, and has
never held a state Office. Would
it not be unfair to turn Mr..
Wayland down to extend the
present incumbent's tenure of
Office to twelve years? We hold
that two terms is ample for any
official, and to grant more is to
stop other and equally worthy
members of the party from a.
chewing a laudable ambition to
serve the people. Furthermore,
if Mr.. Wayland is given the
nomination, as we hope he will
be, he will not embarrass or
hamper the success of the rest
of the ticket, by having to de-
fend himself against charges
rejecting upon him as an official,
regardless of whether such
charges are founded on fact
There should be no weak points
in the ticket this year, and we
are confident that the nomina.
ton of John 7, Wayland fol
State Auditor would materially
add to the strength of the Demo.
cratic State ticket this fall.

From the Gillian Globe, Saline
County.
In this issue appears the an
nouncement of Hon. Sam G..
Major, of Fayette, as a candidate
for representative in Congress
from the 7th district.
Mr.. Major is a lawyer of ability
and much experience and a citi-
zen of the highest type, who has
always been an active, loyal and
aggressive Democrat.
Now while Mr.. Major intends
to make no fight on Mr.. Hamlin,
he thinks, like many of us, that
twelve years is about long
enough for any man to hold the
same Office and that a young
Democrat should be given a
chance. Mr.. Major is thorough
Ily qualified to fill the place, hav-
ing been in the state senate fol-
a term and being thoroughly
acquainted with national ques.
tons. He will make a good
congressman when nominated
and elected.

sentative in Congress:
From the New Franklin News.

From the New Franklin News.
The announcement Of Hon. S.
C. Major of Fayette for Con-
gress from this, the Seventh
Congressional district, comes as
no surprise to his friends in
Howard County. :
Senator Major is known by
most every man, woman and
child in Howard county. He
represented the fourteenth sena-
torial district in the general as
sembly of 1907 and 1909, was
prosecuting attorney of this
county for six years. He is a
lawyer of ability and competent
to discharge the duties of the
office should he be elected.
He has the endorsement Of
the Democratic Committee Of
the County, also that of the
County Officers.

From the Democrat Leader, Fayette,
Senator Sam Major is meeting
with much encouragement in the
development of his candidacy for
Congress against Mr.. Hamlin in
this district. And why not?
Sam Major is a lawyer of state
wide reputation and legislative
experience. He is a fine cam
paigner, a good mixer generally,
makes a good speech and makes
friends generally. There are
many reasons why Towards
candidate should defeat Mr..
Hamlin at this time, and he's
going to do it.

In another column of this issue

Sam c. Major of Fayette as a

nomination for Congress in this
the 7th district to succeed the
present incumbent, c. w. Ham
lin.
Mr.. Major is regarded as one
of the ablest men in this part
of the district and we are assur-
ed by those who know him best
that he is in every way qualified
to discharge the many duties of
the Office to which he aspires,
ably and well. He has served one
term in the state senate and en-
joyed the distinction of being
one of the leaders in all matters
coming before that body. Com
ing from one of the largest
Democratic counties he will
doubtless prove a strong candi-
date. The writer has never had

ELlZAbE n IA CLlFFE
Olney, Ill.,, July 26-There isn't
any more mystery about what killed
Elizabeth Radcliffe of Paoli, Ind,
whose body was brought to the Olney
sanitariUm last Friday night by Roy
Hinterliter, a farmers son. She died
from embOlism, an air bubble that
Travelled up the artery until it reach
ed the heart and stopped it, and the
cause of the air bubble was an at
tempted abortion alleged to have
been performed by the boy with a
catheteT he had purchased.
1t was almost an accident, if it
wasn't the direct working of accu-
sative fate, that the cause of death
was discovered. Physicians who ex-
amined the girls body after HinteT-
liter brought it to the sanitarium
found every organ in perfect Condi-
ton and discovered that the girl
would soon have become a mother.
Then a surgeon accidentally pune
tured an artery, and an air bubble es-
capped from it. He knew that had
caused death. He found the heart so
filled with air that it made kissing
like a plugged rubber ball when a
pin was stuck into it. There were
air bubbles in the brain.
Embolism had killed the girl, but
what had caused embOlism? There
was no lesion of the lung; there was
no evidence of a needle prick.
Accident again supplied the an
swer. Two boys were seen with a
package they we're trying to hide
away. They were arrested. In the
package was a catheter. They are
declared to have confessed that Hin
terliter told them to get rid of it and
that they had been in the drug store
with Hinterliter when he bought it.
The plunger had been taken out
of the catheter. Someone had blown
into it and then plunged it into the
girls hOdV. She died instantly the
