There is one presidential candidate who doesn’t have to carry an eight- year-old letter book around with him to prove himself innocent of evil com- panionship. There is one presidential candidate | who does not have to shout ‘“‘liar!”’ at the beginning of every controversy— for fear the other fellow should use the charming word first. There is one presidential candidate who is not even accused of an unholy alliance, past, present or prospective, with the powers that plunder the con- sumer by means of law-granted priv- ilege. There is one candidate, and only one, who faces the future and is not hampered by the past; one candidate and only one who recognizes the real issue of the day; one candidate and only one who is free to give his whole service to the people. His name is Woodrow Wilson. Talking Herself to Death. Philadelphia, Sept. 15.—Physicians at the Pennsylvania Hospital are searching for a method by which they | may prevent Mrs. Alice Holland from talking herself to death. The woman | apparently doesn’t want to talk—she | just can’t help it. The strange partof the malady is| that the woman insists that some per- | son be present to listen to her. If she is left alone she talks to the hos- pital walls, but she shrieks for some person to come within hearing. Physicians have examined her for a cause, but have been unable to find any. Asa last resort they diagnosed her case as one of acute mania and hysteria. Opiates have no effect on her. tion of the county. Oct. Oct. Oct. Oct. to Arrange and Advertise C. E.

N.J._ 12-10 CAN’T FILL PLACES OF TAFT ELECTORS Republicans Helpless as Men Quit Ticket to Join Bull Moose Party Jefferson City, Mo., Sept. 22.— Two vacancies on the Republican ticket now confront the State Com- mittee of that party, with no one prominent and strong enough to make the race willing to take the chance. The withdrawal of John Albus of St. Joseph from the Taft electoral ticket is the latest problem the stand- patters have toface. He resigned be- cause he is for Roosevelt, and, ac- cording to an interview credited to him, could not conscientiously make the race. The other vacancy, which has ex- isted for some time, was caused by the refusal of Green B. Greer of Sikeston to make the race for Auditor. He, also, is said to favor Roosevelt and was unwilling to run under false colors. The Republican State Com- mittee attempted to unload the vacan- cy on Lin Gresham of Fredericktown, but so far he has failed to look favor- ably on the proposition. There are Republicans who want the party to indorse J. A. G. Rey- nolds of Ava, the Bull Moose nomi- nee; but it is said that ‘‘Liv’’ Morse, the new standpat leader, will not tolerate this. With Albus no longer a Republican Elector, it leaves eleven others on the ticket for Electors who are Roose- velt men and who are liable at .any moment to follow the example which has been set them. It is said that Robert S. Harvy of Eldon, who is a Taft Elector from the Eighth District, is ready to with- draw because he is for Roosevelt. The announcement of ‘‘Cal’’ Pierce of Maryville, who is a Hadley ap- pointee on the St. Joseph Hospital Board, that he is for Roosevelt, is making the Republicans all over the state realize that they are up against a situation which daily is growing worse. On top of all comes the statement from Hadley that his ap- pointees need not follow his lead and that they can vote for whom they see fit.

T. Clay’s. Mrs. Champ Clark a Judge. Mrs. Champ Clark, wife of the Speaker of the National House of Representatives, and whose defense of the Missouri ham is nation wide, has accepted an invitation to act as one of the judges at the Farmers’ Ham and Bacon Show to be held under the auspices of the Missouri State Board of Agriculture at Colum- bia, during Farmers’ Week, January 13 to 17, 1913. The prizes total $100. Entrance is free, and every farmer is invited to compete. Full information may be had by addressing T. C. Wil- son, Secretary, Columbia, Mo. The Equitable Taxation League has put a bug-magnifying glass over the poll-tax question—they are using the $2 poll tax receipts as blind-bridle blinkers to drive the Missouri farm- er over the precipice of Henry George’s Confiscation. The Church With a Welcome “Preaching that Persuades’’ will be the sermon subject at this friendly church next Sunday morning, and in the evening the treatise topic will be “A Voyage Without Valet or Valise.”’ We hope to see you at both these ser- vices. This invitation is especially to YOU. There is nothing put-on about our profession of friendship. We’re glad to have you attend our services and we will always have a welcome and a hand-shake for all who come until our right hand is worn outand then I sup- pose we’ll do the best we can at be- ing left-handed. It is said that there are no churches available for the residents of certain outlying districts. We want to give a special invitation to these country folks to attend our services when roads and other matters make it pos- sible. A good many of our church folks are country folks, some others used to be (this member includes the preacher) and most of the remainder would have been if they could. So come along. Our spirits’ of brother- hood are always on tap. Remember that the front name of the Ohio Street M. E. Church is “The Church With a Welcome.”’ | Awe OAKLEY WING ANO RIFLE SHOT OF THE WORLD Annie Oakley, the peerless wing and rifle shot of the world, who is well and favorably known in this city, will appear as one of the bright stars with the Young Buffalo Wild West and Col. Cummins’ Far East, which will exhibit in Butler on Monday, September 30. Annie Oakley was born in Woodland, Drake county, Ohio, of Quaker parentage. Though her parents were opposed to the use of firearms, she secured possession of one at the age of fourteen and soon became the sole provider of game for the family table. It was when she was seventeen years of age that she made her first public appearance and she soon rose to the highest point in her profession. During her career she has traveled over fourteen countries and has exhibited her skill before the crowned heads of Europe. The late King Edward, before whom she gave five exhibitions, and who was himself a fine shot, said to her on one occasion: ‘‘Youare the finest shot that I have ever seen, America should‘be proud of yeu.” To this the peerless woman riflist replied: ‘Your Majesty, 1am proud of America.’’ At the Sports- mens’ Show, held at Madison Garden, New York, the past winter, Annie Oakley was the big feature. The press of the metropolis devoted more space to her than to all of the other competing marksmen and markswomen. et In and Around Maysburg.
