SMITH SAYS HE'LL
GO TO CONGRESS
Dunklin County Man Visits Cape
And Announces Campaign
Plans.

Robert J. Smith, of Campbell, Dunk
lin County, candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination for Congress from
the Fourteenth District, spent yester-
day in the Cape transacting business
in the United States Bankruptcy
/ Court.
While here he went over the political
situation with leading Republicans,
and notified them that ne was going
to thoroughly campaign this county
before the August primary.
Mr.. Smith is prosecuting attorney
of Dunklin County, the first Repub-
lic&n elected to that office in Dunklin
County. While the Republican candi-
date for Congress lost the county by
more than 300 votes, Smith carried
it over his Democratic opponent by
approximately 400 votes.
Il feel certain that am going to be
nominated by the party in August"
said Mr.. Smith "And if | am, III be
elected in November. This is my rca-
son for this prediction: The cause of
the defeat of the Republican candi-
dates for Congress in this district, has
been due to the small vote they have
received in Democratic counties. Had
Mr. Brown, the Republican nominee,
received the same vote in Dunklin
| County that was cast for me, he would
have been elected.
! 81 can get the usual Republican vote
in the big Republican counties in the
district, and | can get more votes in
some Of the Democratic counties than
have been cast for the Republicans
heretofore. | can carry my county,
which is normally Democratic, over
Mr. Russell, or any other Democrat,
! and this will elect me.
"In the last election, Mr.. Russell
carried the district by 1929 votes. He
carried Dunklin County by slightly
more than l 300 votes. At this same
election, defeated my Democrats OPP
ponct by 375 Votes. Had Mr. Brown
received the vote in DunkIin that was
cast for me, he would have been elect
cd to Congress by majority equal to
that won by Mr.. Russell.
ut is the doubtful counties that the
Republicans must consider to carry
he district. If am nominated, | will
be elected, and / believe l will be NOM
mated. r...
81 expect to actively begin my cam
paign within the next thirty days, and
l will not stop working until the phi
mary is held"
Mr.. Smith is six feet tall, wears
black hat similar to that pictured in
The mysterious Stranger" and is as
straight as an Indian. He looks like
& Kentucky Governor, as. pictured in
story books, and his smile, combined
With oratory, made Dunklin strong for
him. When in the campaign, it is said.
he goes to the voters with all the
carncstncss that Methodist circuit
rider, in days OF old, went to fried
chicken. He is Of the type of politi-
clan who is born, not made.

WAR REVIEW
FOR THE DAY

Once again operations on the Italian
front are the center of interest. The
gigantic engagement which developed
on Carso plateau southeast of Gorilla,
with the renewal of the Italian drive
on Trieste is still in progress. Al
though they have to overcome form
liable barriers the Italians have made
progress in that sector, capturing pow
erful works and more than 5000 prison
erS.
1t is believed by military critics that
the resumption of the Italian offensive
will compel the Austrians to send re-
endorsements into that zone from
other points.
BY the seizure Of the Greek navy by
the allies the entente powers have
gained complete domination of Greece.
1t is officially explained that the allies
feared that the Greek warships would
be put to hostiiities.
On the Somme front in France and
in the Woevere district there were ar.
tillery duels during the night but the
French war office failed to report any
infantry fighting.
The Germans are making big efforts
to overrun Roumania as they did
Servia. German armies are exertlng
the utmost pressure against the Russo
Roumanian forces in an effort to cut
into the heart of the kingdom. Fight
ing is in progress at two points on
Roumanian soil.
The allies ultimatum to Greece
which resulted in the seizure OF the
navy has been presented by Admiral
Du Fornet It's acceptance by Greece
not only gives the allies control of the
navy, the coast forts and the railways,
but also the national military police.

BEFORE THE GAME

0GEOnC ANV6
BRAVES FIELD, BOSTON, Oct. IL
The multitude that sat In" this af
ternoon for the fifth and possibly Anal
tussel between the Red Sox and Dodg
ers surely looked like record smash
er in size. The immense stands
every one Of them-were packed to
capacity. Hundreds stood In the cen
terrified bull pen" -
It looked like $4,000 at least, against
the old record Of 42,300
The bleacher seats were packed at
noon. This was Columbus day, a holi-
day in Boston. and the natives had no
business affections to keep them away
Seat Holders Late
The reserved seat holders were late
arriving.
A chilly wind swept across the field
and finally forced the crowd to Jump
UP and stamp its feet to assist circu-
lation.
Realizing that victory this after
noon means another worlds champion
ship and big share Of the money for
them, the Red Sox were practicing
with a dash and vim. They meant to
sew" up the flag as quickly as pos
sible.
Odds Of 2 to I that they would turn
the trick were offered at game time.
The Dodgers on the other hand,
seemed downcast They went at their
practice work in a half-hearted sort OF
way and acted like men do who feel
they are facing certain defeat.
If the Sox win the series each man
will get $3,75903 as his share, whole
each Dodger in case they are beaten,
will get $2,506.04.
