Revelle of St. Francois county; State Superintendant of Insurance; Con- gressman J. J. Russell of Mississippi County, and Judge Faris, whose home is Pemiscot.

Since that time the understanding is that, Mr. Lloyd -has informed his friends that he may enter the sena- torial race in 1916. ; His attitude indicates thatthere will be a field’of not less than five candi- dates, perhaps more, in the senator- ship race, including Gov. Major, Sen- ator Reed, former Gov. A. M.. Dock- ery, Judge R. F. Walker of the Supreme Court and Mr. Lloyd. . Mr. Lloyd’s announcement that he will not again be a candidate for Con- gress will bring out a big field of contestants for that nomination the next time. _ Already the friends of Sidney J. Roy of Hannibal, Judge Charles D. Stewart of Edina, and O. C. Clay of Canton, Lewis county, are moving in their preliminary arrangements for the campaign for the nomination.

In all. 2,333 ciaims have ‘been pre- sented to Adjutant General O’Meara, and of this number 1,420 have been allowed, 719 rejected for various rea- ons reasons and have held up for the reason that the appropriation w: exhausted. oat The Adjutant General, has no means of knowing how many persons in the State would be entitled to. pensions under this act. The bill provides that those applying for pensions must make affidavit that they are unable to support themselves and substantiate the same with the affidavits of two persons living in their vicinity who know their circumstances.

All of these conditions of the law have been complied with, so the Ad- jutant General says. Among some claims. rejected he discovered that the applicants had far from savory records in the Confederate service. Several deserters were among those whose claims were rejected, while others were never in the regular ser- vice. 3 Not only will the Legislature be called upon to make good to those whose claims have been allowed, but be a candidate for congress again. a
