\. G. STOCKS ELECTED
POLICE JUDGE MONDAY
The Election Was g Strong Partisan
Contest, With the Republicans
Polling Surprising Vote.
MAJORITY is ONLY 1Os
New Police Judge is a Young Lawyer
and a Graduate of Washington
and Lee Law School.

Harry G. Stocks defeated John P.
Clark for Police Judge Monday at the
special election to fill the vacancy
made by the resignation of Judge
Williams. The election was one of the
strongest party fights ever seen in
Mexico. Three Democratic candi-
dates had announced their candidacy
for the Office when John P. Clark,
Republican, announced. Seeing the
danger of splitting the party vote,
two of the Democratic candidates
withdrew. Immediately the contest
grew into strong partisan election.
The vote was not as heavy as usual,
but each party rushed many voters 70
the polls just before they closed. Sew
eral automobile loads of employees
from the Shoe Factory and Brick
Plant were taken to the polls just be-
fore 6 o'clock. Stocks received 465
votes and Clark $50.
Stocks is a young attorney of
Mexico and is associated with his
father, S. D. Stocks, in the practice Of
law. Stocks is a graduate Of McMil-
Ian High School and took his A. B.
degree at Westminster College in
1909. Since then he has taught in
the High School at Lahunta, Colo, for
two years and then took up the study
of law at Washington and Lee Uni
versities at Lexington, Va, taking his
degree of Bachelor Of Law in 1915.
Harry is a very popular young man
and should fill the office of Police
Judge with ability.

OTTO KUNKEL HOME.
Has Been Doing Research Work in
Germany.

After spending almost a year in
Germany, Norway, Sweden and
Switzerland, doing research work in
botany for the Government, Otto Kun
kel has returned to his home near
Mexico.
Mr.. Kunkel went from here TO
Columbia University in New York,
where he won a research scholarship
in Botany. The scholarship went in
to effect one year ago, but on account
of the war he did not start on his
trip until last October.
Mr.. Kunkel has been employed to
do research work in Botany for the
Government cpd the purpose Of this
trip abroad was tb further his studies
in this subject.
While in Germany he visited the
old home of the Kunkels and while
there met his cousin, on furlough
from the German amy. His cousin
had been in the seige before Verdun
and was at home on a short furlough.
Mr.. Kunkel said that in normal
times the trip could be taken in safe
ty and with a small outlay of money.
Living in Germany is very CHEAP,
compared with the prevailing prices
in this country.
Mrs. Kunkel accompanied him on
the trip, which was made with no
hardships to speak, of.
Mr.. Kunkel intends to return 70
Columbia soon and continue his bo-
tanical work.

GIANT SUBMARINE SINKS
The Bremen, Merchant Subma.
rine, Reported Lost.

BERNE, Switzerland, August
8. - The giant submarine, Bre-
men, which was expected to land
on the United States coast some
time this week, has been re-
ported sunk, due to some acci-
dent to the machinery. The re-
port of the disaster appeared in
a Berlin paper, but no details
were given. The Deutschland,
which sailed from the United
States last week, is reported to
have escaped the blockade and
is now nearing her home port in
safety.
The Bremen was a submarine
of the type of the Deutschland
and was to be used, like the
Deutschland, as a merchant
craft.

D. P. MOORE, formerly of Mexico,
now of Webster Groves, st. Louis
County, has been nominated by the
Democrats of that county for County
Court Judge. This is a most i'm
portant office at this time, as big
bond issue has been voted for good
roads. Mr.. Moore is a conservative,
careful business man, and would see
that this money was expended eco
nomically, and that all of it went on
the roads. No better equipped man
for this important place could be Sc
lected.
