When asked fora statement with regard to af- | fairs in the island, based on his re- | cent trip, said he could add nothing to what had been said by Senator Proctor. That he could vouch for every word in that report, bot that it was an understatement. He could have said much more and kept within the truth. He said that the only remedy is intervention un- less the people are willing to look on and see the work of starvation, already so far advanced, completed. These reports of such distinguish ed statesmen and conservative men, confirming the horrors of which we daily read, should have the effect of forcing an intervention by this gov ernment and saving the remnants of that proud race which in its strug- gles for liberty and freedom are not only offering up the lives of their men on the battle field but their women and children, ‘‘seed corn,” are being starved to dsath in fortiti ed towns. When the Armenian massacres were baing carried on by the blood-thiraty Turks, the people of this country were loud in their denuncation of Eurepean nations that they did not interfere and atop the butchery. Here is a situation at our very doors many times woree. Instead of killing the women and children outright they are letting them dis of starvation, the most horrible of all deaths How long, oh Lord, how long, will this great country, “The land of the brave and home of the free” permit such out- rages to humanity and civilization, at our very door, without interven- ing to stop it. Hon. Geo B. Ellis asks the dem- ocratic party to endorse bis firat term in the legislature by a renomi- nation Although a new member, without legislative experience, he was recognized by the Speaker by being placed upon the following most important committees: Appro- priations, Educational, Mines and Mining and Township organization. He was, like our distinguished repre. sentative in congress, always at his post of duty. He did not force him- self upon the attention of the House unduly, but always was ready to oppose or defend a msaeure as his judgment told him was for or against the interests of his constituents and the people of the whole state. He voted for the fellow-servant bill passed by the legislature affecting railroad corporations and their em- ployees, but believed the measure should be broad enough to include all employees of all corporations and especially the mines of the siate, a large number of which class were his constituents. He introduced House bill No. 541 which passed the house by a decisive vote and was crowded cut by the pressure of business in the senate at the close of the session. The Labor commis- sioner in bis annual report publishes this bill in full end approves its “general scope” and the manner ia which it deals with the many phases of this great fellow-servant ques- tion. Mr. Ellis introduced a bill regulating the commissions and charges at stock yards in the state, which was passed by the house and defeated by the senate. He intro- duced a bill regulating and reduc- ing the salary and fees of our county officers, making tke average salary of our important county officers jabout $1,500 per year. This bill was adopted as acommittee measure jand introduced substantially as jdrawn by him. He found that the | townships bad no right of levy at jall, but was left at the mercy of the county court. Mr. Ellis introduced 1a bill makiog it mandatory on the county court to leave at least 10 "a8 candidate for Cor-| cents of the constitutional linit of lo cents for township purpcges, the | Republic.

Taught five years in district schools and is serving his) seventh yeer in Rich Hill schoole, being at present Superintendent of the latter schools. While county school comraissioner with practically no salary, he organized reading cir- cles for the benefit of teachers, or ganized district institutes, and kept the reports in such a manner that the complete ficancial standing of each district and all important data with reference to the schools could be seen at a glance. Made and led the fight in Osage township for the coinage at 16 to 1, and on account of his known views on thia question and on the income tax he was chosen chairman of the committee on reso- lutions at the county convention and reported the stroug resolutions sent up from this county at the conven- tion preceding the Pertle Springs convention. [His training has been such as to make him careful and ac curate. His excellent clericai abili ties especially qualifies him for the discharge of tbe difficult duties of this office. He would make a strong candidate for the ticket because his | qualiications would nct be question ed. He has always been a democrat and his always helped to fight its battles. | i A truc> to the words about cannon and gun, that we haven't a navy to beat them, just say tha word to America’s sons and eee how the true manhood can meet them.

Mr. Wilson was born and raised in Davis county, Missouri. Lived ia Cass couaty for fifteen years and has been a resident of our county for thirtsen years. He has been a farmer, stock raiser and ship per for years and few farmers of north Bates have not sold stock to him at remunerative prices. He has been an active democratic worker all his life. This is the first time he ever asked for office, and while he doesn’t claim that the party owes him anything in the sense of paying for services, yet he does claim that bie faithfulness to the caus2 and activity in the past should ba con. sidered in determining the nomiaa tion. He is a clever, courteous gentlemacv, honorab‘e and upright in his dealings, true to his friends. His qualfications for the office are of the very best. He would make a very popular candidate and efficient of- ficer. James N. Sharp and George B.! Ellis are rival Democratic eandidates | to represent Bates County in the | Legislature.
