John G. Ballard, Jr., store keeper at
State Hospital No. A, while returning
from Flat River late last Monday eve
ming in buggy, was thrown or
knocked out and the side of dis head
crushed SO that he died from his in
juries Tuesday afternoon between 8
and o'clock.
Just how thes accident occurred is
not known. He was driving livery
horse from Mayberry, Byington a.
Tullock's stables that was never known
to shy or scare at automobiles. When
near Judge Swink's Judge Mayberry
passed him in an automobile and
spoke to him; the horse was jogging
along in a slow trot or fast walk. A
few minutes after Judge Mayberry
passed him, a touring car from the
direction Of Flat River whizzed by at
high speed. Whether this machine
struck the buggy and knocked Mr..
Ballard out, or whether the horse be-
came frightened and gave the bug
gy sudden lurch that threw him out,
will probably never be known, as the
driver Of the turing car was not rec
ognized by Judge Mayberry as he
passed him, and nobody seems to
know who he was or whose ear he was
driving. The horse ran with the bug
gy down the first street intersecting
the Flat River road, turning south
into G street. Bert Byington saw the
horse coming and dragging the bug
gy which had been overturned, and
ran out and spoke to the horse, when
the animal Immediately stopped.
Marion Counts of Flat River on his
way home from Pennington about 7
o'clock found Mr.. Ballard lying un-
conscious by the road side near the
home of R. P. Taylor. He ran to the
house and told Mr.. Taylor. AS they

Col. Gardner at
Ste. Genevieve

Willard Rariden, DIR. C. A. Tetley,
Francis A. Benham and A. w. Brad
shaw drove over to Ste. Genevieve
Tuesday evening to hear Col. Fred D..
Gardner speak at that place. The
court room was crowded to full ca
pacity with an eager and enthusias-
tic assemblage to hear Missouri's
next Governor. Col. Gardner sus-
tanned the splendid reputation he has
made during the present campaign as
a logical and forceful speaker, and
his speech throughout indicated that
sterling business ability which first
brought him into the limelight as a
candidate for Chief Executive of this
State.
The day had been a strenuous one
for him, during which he had made
twelve speeches, beginning in big
tent meeting at DeSoto, from which
place his journey had resembled a
'iun1phal march, with great gath
erings at every stopping point who
had assembled to hear him. But, as
he expressed it, he "still had suffi-
cient pep to express in most heart
felt manner his gratitude for the hon
or that had been done him by that
splendid gathering.
In his gentlemanly manner he
scored his Republican opponent. Judge
Lamm, severely for his wholesale
misrepresentation of this grand old
State, but excused the old fellow, for
his many shortcomings, on the
grounds that he is now in his dotage,
and that his mind naturally reyerts
back to the days of Republican mis-
rule in Missouri, and he has simD-
" forgotten, or tried to forget,
which party it was that held up and
robbed this State.
He explained in succinct manner the
proposed workings of the Land Bank
bill, which has proved to be so power
fnl, especially with the farmers, and
his explanation Of its splendid benef-
icence fully accounts for its great
popularity.
In closing. he said that Republicans
as well as Progressives appeared to
be Democrats this year; that practi-
cally all appeared to be of one ac-
cord, and that Missouri would return

Instructions
TO the Voters

Inasmuch as a great many voters
who are Republicans are asking how
to vote for President Wilson, we deem
it advisable to make the following
suggestions:
If you wish to vote for Woodrow
Wilson for President and use the Re-
publican ticket or Socialist ticket, it
will be necessary for you to strike out
the names Of the Republican or So
cialist electors, and write in their
stead the names of the Democratic
electors. Therefore we suggest that
you use the Democratic ballot where
the names of the electors are printed,
and then below write in those Repub-
lican or Socialist nominees, whom you
desire to vote for. The names of
Woodrow Wilson and Charles E.
Hughes do not appear on the ballot
anywhere and you must vote the
names of the electors, there being 18
in number in the State of Missouri.
We understand that some of our
Republican friends have advised many
of the voters, who formerly voted with
them, that all they have to do is to
write the name of Wilson on the bal
lot and that will assure them of voting
for Wilson. THIS is NOT TRUE.
THAT WOULD MAKE YOUR BAL
LOT VOID. THE BALLOT WILL
BE THROWN OUT IF YOU WRITE
ANYTHING ON 1T EXCEPT THE
NAME OF THE CANDIDATE IN
PLACE OF THE ONE YOU HAVE
STRUCK OUT. The best way to be
safe is to vote on the Democratic
ticket and if you desire to do any
scratching below the electors, strike
out the name of the candidate YOU
want to scratch and write in the name
Of the man you want to vote for. IF
YOU ARE IN DOUBT BE SURE
TO ASK THE DEMOCRATIC
JUDGE. You have a perfect right
to do this. He will give you the cor
rect information. In this way you
will be sure Of casting your ballot for
Woodrow Wilson for President.

Road Hogs Must
Be Regulated

The question of what course must
be pursued in order. to make the pub
lie highways ordinarily safe for those
who must use them, has for some time
past been bothering the minds of all
sane and conservative people. The
rapidly increasing number of auto
mobiles to be found on the highways
and byways is forcing this question
to an immediate solution, if the lives
of the populace are to be in any way
safeguarded.
One cannot drive many miles, IN
any direction out of Pennington,
without passing scores of automobiles,
and especially true is this on Sundays,
which is the one day of the week
when the greatest percentage OF au-
tomobile accidents occur. A Sunday
auto trip is all that is necessary. to
impress one with the very great i'm
portance of more drastic laws to curb
the careless loy-riders.
Such trip will give one far keen
ar insight into the characteristics OF
the "road hog. Often one of these
animals will be seen coming along the
middle of the road, apparently OBJ
livious of the fact that there is any
thing ahead of him, and with appar-
emily not the slightest intention Of
swerving to his own side of the road
He knows that the sensible driver is
not going to endanger the lives of his
load, as we'll as his machine, by jam
ming into him, and his selfish instincts
are permitted to run riot while he
monoplizes the middle of the road.
There is crying need-eonstantly
increasing-for road laws that will
insure to all their full rights on the
