was elected to the Legislature of

from the Germantown district. His
plurality was about 700.
In speaking of his election the Ger-
mantown “Telegraph” says: ‘The
Telegraph has supported his candi-
dacy because it believed in him, in his
independence and ability, and while it
is true that a_ single representative
cannot accomplish much alone, yet it
is equally true that the only way to
elevate the dignity and strength of any
legislative body is to improve the qual-
ity of the individual members. Mr.
Keator is well equipped for the po-
sition to which he has been elected and
the experience he lacks is someth'ng
that will come and will certainly be
made the most of.”

many aspirants. The Democrats and

member of either one of those parties
will be chosen. Amone the names of
gentlemen that will be presented for
the position will be that of George H.
Stanton of Cascade County. Whether
he secures the prize or not the Trib-
une has no hesitancy in saying that
no aspirant will be better qualified
for the post. Mr. Stanten is young,
eloquet, an able lawyer, and has all
the elements that fit a man to pre-
side over the deliberations of a legis-
lative body. His popularity in this
county is evidenced by the fact that
“he received a much larger vote than
any candidate upon the legislative
ticket. We take more than ordinary
pleasure in commending the name of
Mr. Stanton to the consideration of
the members-elect, satisfied that if he
is chosen he will grace the chair and
preside with dignity and impartiality.”

The Thanksgiving Club.
On the evening of Thanksgiving Day,
November 26, a club of fifteen mem-
bers of the Class of Ninety-nine was
founded and owing to the date of its
foundation it was given the name of
“The Thanksgiving Club.” At its @r-
ganization a dinner was held at which
appropriate resolutions were passed
and the officers of the Club were elect-
ed. The object of the Club is of a
literary nature. Bi-weekly meetings
will be held at which papers will be
read and matters of general interest
discussed.

To Prohibit Football.
It is certain that a bill will be in-
troduced in the Missouri State Legis'a-
ture some time this Winter making it
a misdemeanor or a felony to play
football in the State. A number of
members have drawn up measures
which would place football upon the
Same plane as prize fighting, and as
soon as the Legislature meets, a num-
ber of bills of this nature will un-
doubtedly be introduced.
