KILLS HIMSELF
"Scott Ferris, who is to be
Chairman of the National Con-
gressional Committee of the
Democratic Party of the United
States, is a Mi-ssourian who now
represents the Sixth Oklahoma
District in Congress and, and has
done so since HlOi. His profess-
ional training as a lawyer was ob-
tained in Kansas City, following
graduation from high school. In
Congress he has developed quali-
ties of political leadership which,
his accociates believe, fit him for
the post of campaign manger. At
home he is popular and has strong 1!US.
hold on his constituents. His
democracy is not of the type of
tile eastern states; and the fact
that he has been selected fox ti .e
post that often, following the
Civil War, went to men from the
large urban centers of the East
indicates the change which, since
the days of Mr. Cleveland, has
come over the party under the
tutelage of more recent leaders,
notably Mr. Bryan and President
Wilson"—Reproduction of article

A W. Monroe, farmer, who

himself in the head three times

Mr. Monroe had been ill for
about ten days, but Monday
morning he seemed to be some-
what better. He got up and
dressed as usual, and after eating
breakfast, while his wife was out
in the yard, he picked up the
rifle and taking a box of car-
tridges he left the house. Short-
ly Mrs. Monroe discovered his
absence and the fact that he had
taken the gun and the house dog.
She later notified neighbors of
several days ago and it is the
supposition that his illness af-
(fected his mind to such an extent
thit he took his own li.e while
temporarily deranged.
Mrs. Monroe's parents live in
Oklahoma City.

ola, Kans., is spending the week
