Kansas Governors Name Before

sy Tn. Associated Press.

Ev The Associated Press.
 New York, June .7.--Jonathan M. Davis, governor of Kansas, was placed in nomination for president at democratic national convention yester- day as "a fair representative in its trusst sense Of the progressive west" and as "forcible executive who would inspire the confidence Of con gress in his leadership"
 Representative William A. Ayres, of Wichita. spoke for Kansas in formal ly placing her governor before the convention. and he asserted that the choice Of the Sunhower state had demonstrated that he could carry his message to the nation as he had SO successfully carried 1t to the people of his own state.
 People everywhere, but more spe- cislly in the midwest and the great northwest, in the agricultural sec tions," Mir, Ayres said, "are looking for. yea demanding something more tanribls than calling attention to the acts and noble deeds of the past, They are expecting something more than q platform Of pledges. Performance can be accomplished only by forei- hle executive wro can inspire eonh- denee in the legislative branch, who ean impress the congress that he pos sesses the qualities of leadership and statesmanhip. and who is not un- mindful of the fact that he should be the supreme leader and champion of all the people and not of favored few.

A Perfect Love- May Lead
Them Down. GaUOWS Trail
With GalIows Staring Preacher
In Face He Admits Loving

BY D. D. RICHARDS
NEA Service Writer

NASHVILLE, Ill, Sept. 80 -
"Know that it IS perfect love, noo
judgment, knowledge or personal
goodness, but love in sentiment,
word and deed, that should guide
our acts"
Love is prize. If YOU will re-
tain it, count its cost and estimate
it's value"
Chat which is lightly valued is
lost. When the heart knows this rs
it's chiefest treausre and its bright
est ornament it will guard it with
all diligence"
Use it. Like light it cannot bear
confinement The selflshness Of
fear that would hide it is the testi-
nony of its absence"
These passages seem to have
formed the creed Of Rev. Lawrence
M. Hight, Ina CHI clergyman
whose love for Mrs. Elsie Sweet an,
a member of his congregation, re-
suited in the deaths of his wife and
Mrs. Sweeten's husband.
The minister, now in jail here,
was a great believer in perfect
love" But now, with the gallows
staring him in the face, he admits
he loved too we'll
All the above quotations were
from an essay by Rev. James S.
Reager. It was found among his
books following his arrest.
But 1t Wash Peaceful"
And there We're other books, too,
that dealt with love. They are filled
with underscored passages.
Here are some Of them:

These Brought Confession

These Brought Confession
Another definition given is:
Sin IS a perversion, distortion or
wrench-a twist Of our nature. Sin
is unrest and sin is toll"
And then the author points out a
"sin of presumption is one done
boldly against light and conviction
States Attorney Thompson thinks
perhaps this booklet aided in bring
ing about Rev Nights confession,
especially the closing paragraphs
"But we are all as an uncleaa
thing and all our righteousness is as
filthy as rags. And we all do fade az
a leaf; and our iniquities, like che
wind, have taken us away
Repent and turn yourselves from
all your transgressions so iniquity
shall not be our ruin. Return ye
new every man from his evil way
and amend your doings.
Gle that covereth his sin shall
not prosper but whosoever confess
eth and forsaketh them shall hav,
mercy"
And Rev. Hight believed What HI
read. For after these passages wert
read to him he made a complete con
fession, telling how he had poisoned
his wife and induced Mrs. SweetI
to poison her husband, so the two o
them (the preacher and Mrs Sweet
en) might be happy in their own
'1ove."

Of a telegram from President Cool

Replying to your telegram, it is
my desire that full and cree oppor.
tunity be afforded under the state

regret, there are states in the unior
where the law is such that this is

heartily in favor of party govern
