The Iron County Club.

The New Years Eve Watch Party,
given by the Iron County Club at Ea-
giles Hall, Jefferson and Lafayette av-
enues, st. Louis, was well attended by
members of the following clubs: Ea-
giles Club, Aurora Club, Cleveland
Club, Liederkranz Club, Blue Bird
Club and the Iron County Club, John
Grant presiding. Nearly thousand
people were assembled there for fun
and frolic, to see 1919 limp into the
past, and welcome his successor, 1920,
with nothing stronger than per cent
cider. Corkags charges at some Of
the tables and Bachus blew his last
bugle blast for wet New Years Eve in
st. Louis.
Dancing commenced at O'Clock
and the fun went gaily on until dawn.
The dancing hall was beautifully dec
Grated. Calcium lights played on the
merry makers throughout the night.
Lantern slides with views furnished
by the different clubs were thrown on
the stage curtain. The Iron County
Club had more than fifty views OF
Iron county and Southeast Missouri.
Some Of them dated back to the SOS.
Among the slides we're views of Pilot
Knob mines, Iron Mountain, Ironton
Courthouse, Blues Jail, Whitworth's
Store, Ironton Mill, "Valley Home,''
"Sylvan Lake, "Grant Oak" Iron
County Bank, Sheahan's Quarry, the
Shut-In, Swimming Pool in Stout's
Greek. One very interesting slide
was "Red Bill Seitz Fishing in Mid
dlebrook Stream.n 'John w. Harral
at Iron Mountain station". was good
| Other views were the "Elephant
Rock,n "Old Oaken Bucket at Gran
iteville Well," Joe Immer on Pilot
Knob hill, taken years ago, and Iron
Mountain Lake. The view OF the
Southeast MISSOURI Picnic held In
Forest Park last July was fine. Other

drafted and rendered the honor with
out opposition, ,favorably consider the
proposition. Since that big st.. Louis
day it has come to pass and be cer-
tainty that Breckenridge Long of st.
Louis, now Assistant Secretary of
State at Washington, and the well
known democratic dry leader, Charles
M. Hay. of Galloway county and st.
Louis, would both enter the senator
ial contest as aspiring candidates.
This fact therefore eliminated any
chance of the senatorial nomination
being handed on aplatinum platter at
party conference in early spring to
Ambassador Francis and there through
removes him from the contest, unless
he files for the place and takes chance
with the field.
That Attorney General McAllister
has friends who would like to see him
tilt as democratic gladiator for senat-
orial honors, has already been men
toned. Then there is Judge Daniel
G.. Taylor, of st. Louis, who, two
months ago, was rendered by Govern
or Gardner one of the vacancies which
then existed on the State Supreme
Court bench, but graciously declined
the honor. Few lawyers of Missouri
are as well and favorably known as
Judge Taylor. His friends are how
ever firm in the declaration that he
would have to be drafted before he
would get into the running, and, even
then, he would not allow his name to
be used If Governor Gardner is per-
suaded to once more put aside all
business and other personal interests
and consent to head the State ticket
as the democratic nominee for United
States Senator.
The big achievement of Governor
Gardner in wiping out, during three
years of his administration, a 81, 600,
600 state deficit of many years stand
ing, and once more placing Missouri
on sound financial basis, with all
debts paid and clear balance to the
good of over $5OO,00O in the general
revenue fund in early December, 1919,
is the coup d'etat, his friends declare,
for which Missouri democracy ought
to rally to his support against his pro-
tests that he is not an aspirant for the
senatorial nomination, and tender il
to him unanimously. Other huge
efficiency accomplishments of Gov
ernor Gardner, since January 8, 1917
are too numerous to be reviewed in
limited space.
