The Administration was presented
by the Allies with all the models of
tanks, but produced none for use in
the war.
Though the production program in
the United States failed, due to what
seemed ineXcusable delay and refusal
to accept the expert advice of the AL

shows that the war administration by
his staff in France worked with ad-
mirable precision. The greatest pro-
duction furnished by the war admins

shing's final report in this connection
reads:
Unfortunately many divisions did
not receive the requisite amount OF
systematic training before leaving the

He Runs for Senate
AS a E'Nationalist''
Colorado Senator Asserts
Leading Parties Conceal
Issues Behind Camoufiage
of Soothing Verbosity

DENVER, Oct. 1O.-In statement
explaining why he refused to seek the
Democratic nomination and then con-
sented to run as Nationalist" candi-
date for United States Senator, Charles
S. Thomas, Democratic Senator from
Colorado yesterday attacked the League
of Nations and treaty of peace and de-
clared the leading parties have given
the people "no clear-cut issue to at
tract or repel them"
Both the national conventions of
1920 successfully avoided the more
serious problems demanding public
consideration" the statement said.
Except the Democratic pronounce
ment for the League of Nations, after
ward modified by the acceptance of the
nominee, definite policies have been
concealed behind bewildering camou-
tlage of soothing verbosity."
Concerning the League of Nations
the statement said:
81 am opposed to the covenant Of
the League of Nations because it can
not under the Constitution be estab-
lished through the exercise of the
treaty making power.
Because it is founded upon aad

penalties and indemnities.
Because it's articles will tend in
practice to prevent rather than pro-
mote permanent peace among the
nations.
Because it creates two international
organsms-one for the administra-
tion of world affairs, the other to DOM
mate labor as an international class
institution.
Because it abandons the nations
traditional foreign policy.
because it commits the United
States to direct participation in the

Why Every Missouri Farmer
Should Vote for Good Roads
Amendment No. 6 on
November 2, 1870.

Because the State AMI Federal Gov.
eminent will build two hard surfaced
rosds across his county and he will
not pay one dime OF tax more than he
is now paying.
Because the State auto fee will pay
the entire cost Of the roads.
Because IL he lives on State road

Because II he does not live on or
near a State road he and his neigh.
bors or his county can build good
roads to connect with these state
roads and then have q connected Gys.
tenn OF hard roads to all OF the main
markets in his section Of the State.
Because the value Of q hard road
depends on its connections and the
State bond issue means q complete
system.
Because there are Ga counties in
Missouri where at the present time
no road bonds have been voted, nor
any finances provided for the con.
struction of hard surfaced roads.
When the t60,000,000 bond issue lie
available State roads will be built in
each OF these counties, and therefore
they will be assured OF two roads
across their county without any cost
except their auto fees at the present
rate.
Because good roads in every com.
munity improve the social, religious
and educational advantages OF the PEG
pie living in that community.
Because every farmer in Missouri
wants to give his wife and children
as good surroundings and rs many
advantages as those Of his friends In
other counties and states whore hard
roads have been built or are being
built Because hard roads save time
on the road, save transportation cost
to and from markets, enable the farm.
to market his products any day in the
year, save money in the repairs and
depreciation Of trucks, motor cars and
all kinds Of ~ehicles.
Because every rtste in the Union
is now building hard roads or gettinEl

keep in its place with the proEressivS

must do the same thing. 1t is not
enough that rs or 30 counties areI

service to the people the State should
have q complete system connecting
all sections OF the State.
Because bad roads are expensive,
while good roads are money makers
and money savers.
Because complete State system Of
hard roads will link together every
community in Missouri and allow her
people to meet and mingle and be

people are held apart.
Because hard roads are now needed

JaSper Man 10 Awarded Auto, Over
Which "court War" Was Wassd.
Fred Crandall ofJasper, a former
member Of the detective depart
ment Of the Joplin police force,
has been awarded possession Of the
Hudson car he had bought from

question Of ownership. The case
was tried in circuit court in Joplin.
The jury, in Judge Grant Emer-
sons division, likewise gave him
a verdict Of 5000 damages for the
detention of the car.
The car originally was bought
by Harry Neff, a mill contractor
of Joplin. 1t was stolen more
than a year ago, recovered later
by Harvey Monaghan, then a
plaln-clothes man in Joplin, and
he is said to have bought it from
Neff, and in turn sold it to Gran
dali.
The International Indemnity
Company, through its private de-
tectives, found the car in Crandall's
possession in Jasper and replevin-
cd it, on the grounds that it was
one that had been stolen from a
physician in Los Angeles, Calf.
The number on the radiator is
said to have corresponded with
the number on the radiator of the
