Of age, Pankey bought and shipped
cattle to st, Louis and he has been
continuously In the stock business
ever since.
The Republican candidate for lieu
tenant governor abhorred the domina-
tion OF trusts and for six years he
fought the Bell Telephone Trust In To.
peka. Kan. finally winning out
through the establishment Of an indie
pendent telephone exchange which
lived and was successful despite the
power Of the octopus.

atoms OF that body In 1910 he was
