counties like the Tenth and Twelfth
districts in st, Louis is greedily claim
cd by the Republicans, the indications
are that the democratic congressional
nominee, Frank H. Lee of Joplin, will
readily carry it over his republican
opponent, Joe J. Manlove, and it is
already known that Senator Reed will
outrun Brewster there. when that
staunch Democrat. @. r. Newberger
of Joplin, was made treasurer of the

forces in that section Of Missouri.
love feast followed and after the calu-
met had been passed around. the
hatchet was buried deeply. and oil is
once more serene. Unanimous and
united there.
Another interesting race there is
one for state senator frop the Twenty
eighth state senatorial district, which
is Jasper county alone. The demo-
cratic nominee is A. w. McCawley, an
influential and well known Carthage
lawyer, who has been a prominent
figure in Missouri democracy for
quarter of century. His Republican
opponent Is present State Senator
Howard A. Gray, also a Carthage law
yer, who did not care to make the
race this time, probably realizing that
defeat was ahead The party glory
was forced upon him with the full
realization that McCawley had such
lead that his election was almost
certainty. The "gop" state commit
tee, fully appreciating that tho sue
cess of McCawley will give the demo-
cratic party control Of the next state
senate, is laboring strcnuously in Jas
per county to re-elect Senator Gray.
The farmers, miners, merchants and
toiling men and women of the county
are solidly arraycd behind McCawleyy
and, IL all vote on election day. as
they have solemnly agreed to do. he
will easily outrun lawyer Gray.

Eighth, Mrs. St. Clair Moss
That Republicans voted Democratic
