MOTORIST SUFFERS INJURIES.

Frank Wofford, former automobile
man and now professional fisherman,
suffered a serious laceration on the
left side of his face and bruises on
the body late Thursday afternoon
when his motorcycle overturned at the
corner of Themis and Ellis streets.
WOfford was going west on Themis
and had started to turn south on Ellis
street when the rear wheel of his ma
chine skidded and threw him off as it
fell to the pavement. Wofford was
thrown against the curbing on the
corner, his face striking the edge of
the curb. His jaw was badly bruised.
He got up and rode his machine to
doctors office to have his injuries
attended to.

one Of them.
Il was told that Tom Juden had
talked to Alexander about his running
for Senator, but | never authorized
anyone to make any promises or enter
any agreement for me. If there was

The announcement that a feud had
broken out in Democratic ranks caused
a commotion in Democratic circles.
Leaders Immediately began discussing
plans for a peace meeting. 1t was
stated last night BY a Democrat OF
prominence in this city that efforts
would be made to induce Mr.. Alex
ander not to run for Judge. He said
the party was in no condition now to
withstand a family quarrel, and much
regret was expressed that Mr.. Stub
blefeld had spilled the beans.
1t could not be learned last night
Just why Mr.. StubblefeId finally
decided not to support Mr.. Alexander,
unless it was that Alexander refused
refused to go on record for prohi-
bition.
One reason advanced is that Stub
blefeld, who is particularly bitter
against Senator Hawkins, is anxious
to make personal campaign against
the Dunklin County man. As Senator
Hawkins is quite a stump speaker and
equally as pugnaciOus as the Cape
banker, the coming campaign for the
Democratic nomination for State Sen
ator will be interesting.
Friends of Stubblefield say he is
going to turn his big guns on Senator
Hawkins. As the latter is known as
a man who never attempts to evadc
an opponent, it is certain that they
will lock horns early in the contest.
Senator Hawkins has never been
defeated for Senator, and has power
ful following throughout the seven
counties comprising the district.

If nominat- ed by the democratic party which he publicly deserted in 1900, would he expect the party to support him in the general election? Can he consistently abandon the party in 1900 and then ask it to make him govern or in 1916?
 Refusal to support the nomi- nee has always been the most unpardonable of political sins. Judge Smith must first absolve himself from such sin before he can expect reward at the hands of the democratic party. Try running on the republican ticket against a democratic nominee, Judge Smith, that is where you belong.
