There is no valid reason for the
three big Democratic counties in
the Seventh Congressional Dis
.trict, Saline, Howard and Laf-
ayette, going to a Republican
county for their representative
in Congress. Mr.. Hamlin failed
to carry his own county, both in
the primary and general election
of 1914. Without the enormous
majorities of Saline, Howard and
Lafayette, he would have been.
defeated in the primary, and, of
course, at the general election.
Let the voters of these three
counties think seriously over
the situation.

From the Glasgow Missourian.
The announcement that former
State Senator Sam C. Major, of
Howard county, has entered the
race against Congressman C. w.
Hamlin for the Democratic NOM
ination for congress from the
Seventh district will be pleasing
news to Mr.. Majors thousands
of friends and admirers in the
four big northern counties, Sal
inc, Lafayette, Pettis, and How
ard and to many more in Greene,
Benton, Polk and Hickory
counties. Howard county has
not had a representative in Con-
gress since the formation of the
present Seventh district, the
honors so far having gone to
Saline, Pettis and Greene
counties, the present incumbent
W. Hamlin, having held the
place for twelve years past. One
of the cardinal principles in
Democracy is rotation in Office,
and we believe the Democracy
of the Seventh district will ap-
preciate this fact in connection
with the candidacy of Senator
Major, who is one of the ablest
party men in the north end of
this congressional district. We
do not hesitate to predict the
nomination of Mr.. Major in the
primaries and his election in
November by the largest major
lity given a Democratic candidate
in many years past.

him a strong, acceptable man for

From the Sedalia Democrat.
Sam c. Major of Fayette, has
entered the race for the demo-
cratic nomination for congress
from this, the Seventh district,
and already has gone far on the
road to success, judging by the
comments published through
out the district regarding his
candidacy.
That Major is a runner is the
universal opinion of those who
know him, and with the deter
mination to win that character
ICES him in this race it seems to
be conceded that his prospects
are good for success.
Sam G. Major is one of How
ard County's most popular demo-
Gratis and is widely known and
respected throughout both the
district and the state. He served
faithfully and well as prosecut-
ing attorney of his county and
represented brilliantly his state
senatorial district in the upper
house Of the Missouri legislature.
He is a wise and far seeing pub
lie man, an eloquent orator and
a splendid democrat and citizen.
He would unquestionably if
nominated add strength to the
ticket in every county in the
district and that strength would
greatly enhance the state tick
cts vote in the November cleo
ton. He is making no fight on
the present incumbent indeed,
they are good friends but he be-
lieves that the time has come
when another representative
should be chosen for congress-
man from this part of Missouri.
Measuring up to all the require
ments for that place, he there
fore comes before the people
asking their support.
He has the unqualified ap-
proval of his own people, the in
dividual members of the demo-
cratic county committee indors-
ing him to a man, while all the
officials Of the county as well as
leading members of the party
have personally Joined in the
movement. MIR. Majors record
both as a private citizen and al
state senator and prosecuting
attorney fully justify this actor
on the part of those who know
him best and it can be predicted
that he will make a race of which
all his friends throughout tn,
district can justly be proud.

HON. SAM c. MAJOR
Press comment on the candida
cy of Sam. C. Major for Repre-
sentative in Congress:

LNgNa HAAA &Ne1NN
Rotation in Office is one of the
cardinal principles Of the Demo-
cratic party. 1t is the chief dis
~tinction between an autocratic
and democratic government. If
for no other reason former State
Senator Sam'l C. Major is JUS
titled in entering the field for
Congress in Seventh (7th) Mis-
souri, Congressional district to
succeed Hon C. w. Hamlin of
Springfield, Mo-, who has occu-
pied a seat in the House of Rep
resentatives during the last IL
years. No attempt is or need to
be made against Mr.. Hamlin or
his record in Congress, but, with
the probable incoming of Presi-
dent Wilson's second term of
that office, new blood, energy
and a closer utilization with his
policy of preparedness and dip
lomatic relations with foreign
governments is NEEDED as never
before in Congress.
To nominate Sam'l c. Major is
not to condemn Congressman
Hamlin, but t6 strengthen that
important legislative branch OF
government with a stronger
mental vigor and the fresh
courage to meet all the possibili-
ties of an impending crisis. Sena-
tor Major is admirably fitted fol-
such contingencies and he is g
Democrat of broad and liberal
views with a lion-hearted cour-
age. AS prosecuting attorney OF
Howard County and his splen-
did record as State Sena-
tor, representing the Fourteenth
Senatorial district in that body.
have given him a distinction of
which his fellow citizens may
justly be pround. His worthy
father, before him, was an able
legislator in the general assem-.
bly, of the state, and a distin.
guished lawyer, and the son in.
herits many of the high quail.
/, ties for which his parent is hon.
ored. He read law under the in.
struction of his father and was
: admitted to the bar by that able
: lawyer and iurist, Judge John A
Hockaday, and since has been il
= continuous and successful prac.
tice of his profession in Contra
Missouri. In addition to his othel
! accomplishments, Senator Major
is recognized as a strong anC
eloquent speaker and is also ;
power in Democratic politics il
the state.
The County of Howard ha!
never furnished a member o.
Congress from the district a!
now composed, and yet it rolls
up one of the largest Democrat,

The Democrats of that distric.
will act wisely to nominate Sena
