SUES FOR LOSS OF POSITION

D. S. Mayhem, A. D. Alsup and
Judge Allyn Smith, attorneys, have
filed suit against the Frisco railroad
for their client, j. j. Kane, who is
asking for $4,000 actual damages
and $4,000 punitive damages for loss
of position. The suit was filed in
circuit court at Neosho and will come
up at the June term.
Mr.. Kane claims that the Frisco
discharged him from his position of
engineer on account of his activities
on the grievance board, but later
promised him reinstatement if he
would resign from the board, which
he refused to do.
Mr.. Kane then secured position
as agent for the Continental Casualty
Insurance Company, in which capaci-
ty he was doing well and was in line
of promotion. The Frisco railroad
then, according to Mr.. Kane, declared
that he was working inimical to theil
interests and gave notice that they
would not honor pay orders writer
by Mr.. Kane, which caused him tt
lose his position with the insurance
| company.

EVANGELIST WADE -asF E.
...~ STARTS GREAT

The series of Evangelistic meetings
at the First Methodist church opened
auspiciouSly Monday evening at the
first service.
Evangelist Wade who has come to
lead the campaign, met a splendid
and appreciative audience at the first
service. The congregation was en-
couragingly large and while the
chorus was not as large as it will be,
the Community Sing was inspiring,
Evangelist stated that he was sur
prised at the attendance and spirit
manifested in the very beginning of
the meeting. The Reverend gentle
man was much gratified with the
opening of the meeting.
Evangelist Wade made fine i'm
preston upon his audience, being a
gentleman of pleasing personality, a
splendid speaker and soloist. Evan
gelist Wade usually leads the song

will serve in this capacity several
times while in Monett, Besides being
splendid speaker Evangelist Wade
plays the cornet and viii during the
meetings play cornet solos, duets with
DR.. Shaddrick, sing solos and sing
duets with DIR. Shaddrick.

of the service was most helpful and
hopeful. Evangelist Wade's subject
last evening was Revival" In this
discourse he showed the people what
revival was, how it was brought
about, the results of genuine revival
in what 1t would do for the individual
and the community. His, subject fol-
this evening will be "a Real Church

LAMAR LEADER ENDORSES
HON. FRANK H. LEE
Is Eighth Democrats Paper of Fif-
teen.h District TO Declare that
Lee Should Have no Oppo-
sitiOn.

The democratic newspapers of the
fifteenth congressional district are
one by one coming out strongly in
favor of the candidacy of Frank H.
Lee of Joplin for the congressional
nomination. The following editorial
is taken from the Lamar Leader OF
April 18th.
"The Democrats of the 18th Dis
trict have in Frank H. Lee of Joplin
a candidate for congress who can de-
feat Mcpherson. Lee is the best
single foot politician in the district.
He won the honor in leading Stone,
Decker and Wilson in the third legis-
Iative district of Jasper county in his
three races for the Missouri legis-
lature.
"Lee's candidacy was endorsed by
the 2Sth senatorial district conven-
ton at Carthage on Dec. goth. HIS
strength in his home town is evidently
the big Lee-For-C Congress Club head
ed by former Mayor Osborn
"As caiapaGna1 Lee has few
eo1a.s. -.e IS esS~...l--..y I'm
moner. He is plain, frank, sincere
and don't know how to feel stuck up
and better than the other fellow
Everybody likes him and he knows
everybody and his dog in Joplin
James G. Blaine's memory of names
and faces didn't equal that of FRANK
Lees. He is a whirlwind as a nike
| and Just the man to nominate to re-
deem the 18th district at this time.
Lees legislative record if for th'
people. He opposed the increase O
. railroad rates, higher salaries an'
higher taxes. He fought the corpor
ations when they sought unfair ad
vantages. Corporation hirelings o
course are against him, but that is al
added reason why the people shoul'
be for him. He is the man OF the hou
to lead the democratic party to VIC
tory in this district, He should b
given the nomination without oppo
sition."
The Leader is the eighth demo
cratic paper of the district to take tn
stand that Lee should have clea
field for the nomination.-Advertist
