The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1921-02-11

Representatives are doing to help stir
up the din. His paper in its Sunday
issue carried a story similar to the
one the st. Louis Globe Democrat
sorrowfully doled out.
Other newspaper men assigned to
"cover" the Fifty-frst General AS
sembly, most of whom well known
and old timers at the work, are;
Frank Wickizer, st. Joseph News
Press; r. d. Lewis, st. Joseph Ga
! zette; i. E. Mendenhall, st. Louis
Times;g Robert E. Holliway, Kansas
IGity Eost; Jack Williams, joplin
Globe; L. E. Reed, st. Louis Star; j.
D. Leslie, Underwater; E. H. Rey-
nolds, Associated Press; Harry Mann,
Columbia Missourian; Heber Nations,
Jefferson City Evening Post; Rufus
Hollister, Missouri State Journal;
Means Ray, Jefferson. City Capitol
News; Joseph A. Goldman, Jefferson
City Democrat Tribune; T. Speed Mos
by, Missouri Message; Miss Adalyn
Faris, special writer, st. Louis Globe
Democrat.
Two newspaper war horses who
were here, together with the writer,
during past sessions, .Gaty Pallen and
Joseph A. McAuliffa, are among the
missing. Gaty Pallen "did the Leg
islature" first, for the St. Louis Star,
and finally, for the st. Louis Repub-
lie. Joe McAuliffe, who now is man
aging editor of the St. Louis Globe
Democrat, in former years represent
ed the st. Louis Post Dispatch. Geo.
Eads, "Bill" Cochrane, A. Sidney
Johnson, Tom Masterson, Tom Rod
gers, and one or two others of the last
decade, are also not here for the rea-
son that they have embarked in lines
not so trying on the nerves and which
are more lucrative. Gaty Fallen is
now publicity manager for the Mer-
camille Trust Co. of st. Louis.
A Capitol City Conard
For several years until the close of
1920, Heber Nations was the regular
Jefferson City staffman of the St.
Louis Post-Dispatch. Then he pur-
chased the Jefferson City Post and
has been devoting his time to making
real, live evening paper out of it.
So far he has been successful in that
trying ordeal, regardless of keen com
petition from two other capitol city
dailies.
At the present moment the Post
and the Capitol News are engaged in
a journalistic combat over "who struck
Irresistible Bill, or was he cut, or did
some one push him, or was it really
fall". Jefferson City is sitting spell
bound anxiously awaiting a solution
of the thrilling movie mystery. 1t
the only real mystery the Capitol
City has had since the mysterious
stranger" returned to power on Jan.
10, last.
Vincent M. Carroll, after the Gen
eral Assembly adjourns, will remain
in jefferson City as the staff CORE
spondent of the Post-Dispatch.
Jack Williams of the Joplin Globe
is also State Chief for the Missouri
branch of the American Legion. He
is looking after the State bonus for
the men Missouri sent to the front in
the world war and watching other
legislative measures ex-service men
are interested in.
Edwards, when the Legislature is
not in session, besides the Kansas
City Journal, also grinds out copy for
the st. Joseph News-Press and the
st. Louis Star. In addition to the
Kansas City Post, Holloway, between
General Assemblies, energeticallyI
serves the st. Louis Times with Capt.
tol City news, and Oldham then does
similar work for both the st. Louis
Globe Democrat and the Kansas City
Star-Times.
Of late Jefferson City has become
populous and important enough as
source of news for the Associated
Press to constantly have regular
staff man here. E. H. McReynolds
will remain in that capacity when the
Fifty-frst General Assembly adjourns.
