Upon any topie relating to the affairs of the commonwealth he | is regarded as an authority.. His acquaintance-with Missouri af- acquaintance with Missourians, whom he knows by the thousands, Efficiency is the keynote of the life and public career of Mr. Roach. By punctual and _pains- taking effort he has exhibited a degree of efficiency and economy unsurpassed in publie office. Like most men who are born and reared on a farm, he received his early educational training in the com- mon schools. At the age of 19 he began his eareer as a teacher in the public schools, passing from a one-room rural school to the prin- cipalship of a high school, and has ever since taken a keen and active interest in public school matters, as*is evidenced by his zealous ef- forts for their advancement. Secretary Roach’s participa- tion in politics began with his en- | thoroughly Democratic. for, years set himself to the task of be- | coming thoroughly familiar with | fairs is equaled only by his vast] try into the newspaper business Nosman in’publio lite in Misaou: | at Carthage, Missouri, more than {a quarter century ago. His news- paper was always staunchly Dem- ocratie, and Mr. Roach is always It -is a part of his political creed that the interests of the people are best served through government by parties. He believes that at least two strong political parties are necessary to promote government most responsive to the people’s will, one serving as a_ cheek against the other. He _ believes there is no public office that ean- not be acceptably filled by a Dem- ocrat. While proud of his Democ- racy and partisanship, Mr. Roach has never permitted polities or party divisions to affect his de- votion to official duty. His cour- tesy and promptness are of State- wide knowledge. No Missouri of- fieer has ever reached his desk earlier, or stayed later, or put in more days at the office. As a practical promoter of road im- provement, the laws he has put on the statute books for financing the modern State-aid policy mark his as a man of initiative, original- ity and progress. His management of the office of Seeretary of State since 1909 has proven he has business capacity of a high order, and that he is exeep- tionally well equipped by nature and experience to render. public service of. inestimable value— Wm. H. Lewis of Scott County. _AN ILLUSTRATION OF BUSINESS EFFICIENCY.

In seeking to keep Missouri in the Democratic column, because been. splendidly written by Democratic administra- tions, we are all of one opinion that the man selected to head the '| ticket in this State next fall should be free from factional connections and from influences that will hurt the party’s chances at the Novem- its history has~ ber election. ‘ While other candidates have been making fights on each other, Cornelius Roach has been content to go before the voters of Missou- ri in a dignified campaign based on the splendid record he has made since he entered public life. He has kept abowe and apart from petty factional differences, and lowing record result: two against. vote millions of dollars. a One eandidate for governor who has not indulged in personalities and attacks on his opponents is Seeretary of State Cornelius Roach.

When Governor Hadley offered his famous resolution to treble the taxes of the farmers and country people.by ° trebling the assessed valuation of rural property, the record of the State’ Board of Equalization shows that it was Roach who broke the tie vote and saved the-day for the farmers. ~ ‘members of the Board were called alphabeticaliy with the fol- Cowgill—aye ; Hadley—aye; Major—no. ROACH—NO. When Roaeh’s name was called, the vote stood two for and He voted no and saved the t. taxpayers by that one This is characteristic of his nomination will insure a clean campaign against the Republican nominee after the August primary. During Mr. Roach’s years of service as Secretary of State, he has made a splendid record and his effort in behalf of the welfare of the State have been untiring. His democracy is unquestioned, his ability undeniable and his per- sonality in the coming campaign will be invaluable. In the interest of the welfare of the State and of the Democratic party, you aré urged to give your loyal support to Mr. Roach at the primary. A VOTE FOR ROACH, MEANS DEMOCRATIC SUPREMACY.
