CHAMBERS Through our announcement column is asking for the Democratic nomina- tion for Recorder of Bates county, a position for which he is eminently well qualified to fill and would con- duct the office to the satisfaction of the public and to his own credit. Mr. Chambers is a pioneer settler of this county and has been an active Dem- ocratic worker allhislife. There have been mighty few Democratic conven- Grant, to say nothing of the panic of 1907, under the Roosevelt regime, when for the first time in history, “soup houses’? were established in Missouri, and when, no matter how badly it was needed, depositors were unable to get their money out of the banks. ; When Mr. Loomis had finished his remarks it was requested that all ex- cept Republicans leave the room. |The Democrats, who constituted half High School Alumni.

He said that he hoped there were no “flannel mouth” insurgents’in Bates county and congratulated the Republican papers on their standpat policies. He took a hot shot at Senator Warner by endorsing Walter S. Dickey and say- ing that if Mr. Dickey were elected we would havea real senator from Missouri. Mr. Mann seemed to feel that it was his mission here to cheer up the faithful and to console them for their defeat in the recent congressional election, and charged that Mr. Dick- inson’s overwhelming majority was an “accident,’’ but he studiously avoided mentioning the Democratic victories in Massachusetts and New York. Mr. Mann pointed with pride to the recent election in Kansas City, hold- ing it up as an example of what might be accomplished against a Democratic majority by shrewd _poli- ticians, but he fai'ed to specify the manner in which over 2,009 more negroes were registered in the residence districts than ever before. * Loud in his praise of Tom Marks, Mr. Mann failed to mention him in connection with the Anna Owen Bates county for the nomination of |County Recorder at the coming pri- | mary election.
