ton from your own bad record by
bowling N some one else. II will not
work. It's too old Il game. The pro-
pie are ON to it. The governor had NO
reason TO believe tina. executive action
was necessary. He was not personal
~ in daily contact with the details Of
the bank. From the reports made to
him he had the right TO H. al
fairs were in fair condition.
At the last session of the legislature
a partisan committee was created FOR
the express purpose Of smirchiug the
governor. II was TO dig up any old
thing so that it could hc turned into
"A criticism Of Governor Mcdonald.
Even If il were true that he was not
as alert as he might have been, il is
just n single act in a four-ycar adj
ministration. At worst, il was in the
hurry Of administration only an act
Of omission. There wa nothing dis
honorable or dishonest about it. The
governor did not have TO burn Il
books or V up any records. How
IS It with Bursum and Hubhcll? The
republican party of New Mexico four
years ago tried Bursum ON his own
record ana found him unworthy and
~repudiatcd him. The republican party
Of B~ernalillO county tried EIubbcll and
~repudiated him. Frank W. Clancy, re-
publican attorney general, declared
him unfit to hold office. He was prac-
tlcally driven out of office By his POI
lttical associates. Ills record is such
that the newspaper mere -about do not
dare defend it,.
They do not dare Justify hi acts.
Though challenged by the New Mex
lean they dare hot print his official
record but are compelled to remain
silent and try to shift the issue and at
tract the public attention from the
record of their own candidates By as

Governor Mcdonald has been haudi-
capped by a hostile legislature. the
most partisan that ever sat in Santa
Fee, Il legislature which expelled legal
ly elected democrats in order 10 get
two thirds majority that it might "hog
tie him and pass over his head oh
noxious laws and in every possible
way hamper his official action. Under
1t all he has been honest, courageous
and faithful. No dishonest or dis
honorable act taints his administra-

PETE JOHNSON FOR
MINORITY LEADER

To Peter G. Johnston of Blackfoot or
Fred c. MCGOWAN of Moscow, will fall
the complimentary vote of the repub-
lican minority of the next legislature
for speaker of the house of represen-
tatives. Johnston is the recognized
dean of the legislature, having served
q number of terms. lie is one of the
few republican party leaders escaping
defeat at the recent election. Repub-
lican leaders declare that Representa-
tive Johnston will be the minority
leader of the house, due to his long
service and familiarity with the par
liamentary end of the legislative
game.
1t is the purpose of republicans to
caucus, name their candidate for
speaker and those whom it is desired
to give important committee assign
ments. This formality having been
complied with, the democrats will pro-
coed to elect a speaker and select
majority of the members of that party |
or all committees, it is said.-Cap

no ONE WILL BE OFFENDED
Ii You Want to Entertain Farmer
Friend Tuesday, It'll be All
Right, Scott Says

Scott Ogden, secretary of the cham
Der of commerce, wishes to let it be
known that no offense will be taken If
the business men wish to pay for more
than one luncheon at the big meet
ing next tuesday. The farmers have
len invited to attend the luncheon, and
Mr.. Ogden thinks there will be fully
one hundred farmers IFesent. To
them the luncheon is free, they being
the guests of the business men, and the
business men will be expected to en-
terrain them in a manner in keeping
with the progressive and hospitable
spirit of Moscow.
The business men will not be re-
quired to pay for more than one
luncheon, and Mr.. Ogden makes it
plain that they will be just as welcome
if they pay for only one as if they
should pay for a dozen, but owing to
the heavy expense to the chamber of
commerce, and in view of the fact
that this meeting will be both directly
and indirectly beneficial to the bust
ness men of Moscow, he feels that
some may be inclined to drop in a few
extra quarters if they know that by so
doing they will hurt no ones feelings
and ne wants it understood no offense
will be taken.

DOC" BLACKFORDTO.
RUN FOR CONGRESS.
Travelling Man to Have Support
of Tom Brown and n. A.
Motley.

The political thrill of tie season
came yesterday in the announcements
by G. W. (Doc) Blacl:ford that he
would make the race for the Repub-
Iican nomination for Congress in this
district.
Mr.. BiacEford makes Cape Girar-
deau his home, but travels for the
Meyer Drug Company Of St. Louis.
He has been travelling over Southeast
Missouri for ten years, and is init
mate,y known in every city and ham
let in the Fourteenth Congressional
District.
He stated yesterday that he would
have the support of y. A. MOziey of
Bloomfield, former member of Con-
gress, and Tom Brown of Charleston,
who was the Republican nominee for
Congress two years ago. Blackford,
Motley and Brown held q conference
this week, and it was at their solicita-
tion that he decided to make the race.
Blackford is one of the best known
men in this part of the State. His
territory covers virtually all Of the
FouIteenth Congressional District, and
he visits every town in Southeast Mis-
souri several times each year. He
claims to be personally acquainted
with every voter who has moved into
the district since he was assigned to
this territory.
The entry of Blackford in the politi-
cal arena caused tongues to wag yes
terlay, and it is expected to lead to
new lineups in the near future.
Henry Brinkopf will have a clear
field in his race for the namination on
the Republican ticket for Sheriff. Ben
Gockei, his friends say, has decided to
keep out of the fight this year. W. F..
Schade of Jackson is expected to be
Mr.. Brinkopf's opponent in the gen.
eral election.
Judge Edward d. Hays is repairing
his fences for a whirl-wind campaign
for Circuit Judge this fall. He will
have no opposition for the nomination,
according to we'll informed Republi-
cans. Judge Hays was urged by
Republicans all over this COngression-
al district to make the race for Con-
gress, but he preferred to run for

inauguration ceremony was conducted

Health Commissioner Stone made

he set forth that he had received SO

services, and in each instance, he de-
