Voting From Lincoln to Hoover, He Bolted Once For Roosevelt
Civil War Veteran Cast First Republican Ballot In Union Army ;. 'Any. one Who Could Fight Could Vote'
----
THE republicans will get the vote of Amos Edwards, 86 years old, 910 South Pickwick street, In 1928 the same as they got it in 1864, wben Edwards firat voted.
--
-
Edwards was 22 years old then. but being in the army, age made little difference. Hie recollection la that : Lincoln called upon the governors of the federal states to issue proclama- tions allowing any army man to vote regardless of his age. The Idea was that any man old enough to fight should be allowed to vote. The gov- ernors, with one exception, followed ! Lincoln's advice.
SOLDIERS SOLID FOR LINCOLN |
In 1864, when Lincoln ran for re- election against Mcclellan, the sol- diers voted under conditions that cir- cumstances allowed. Edwards was ata- tioned at Lexington, Ky., In company E., 7th Ohio cavalry, and was ona of ! the election board members. The polls . were located in a college dormitory. ! Soldiers and civilians voted pepar- ately, at different polis. No Soldier was saked hia sge because of the i ruling, just being checked off on the ! company rolls after casting hia ballot.
Edwards cannot recall just the number of ballots cast at his station that day but they ran into thousanda. All the votes were for Lincoln, he saya, whom he refers to as one of the grandest men the world has ever known." Throughout the ranks the ! soldier vote for Lincoln was so solid that he was elected by an overwhelm- Ing majority.
I CONFEDERATES LOOT TRAIN
+
The large number of ballots cast at Lexington delayed the final count and the boxes missed the train that was to convey them to Cincinnati. It was a good thing, too. Edwarda con- tenda, for the Confederates attacked the train. looted It and then retrested before defense forces could arrive. The next day the ballot boxes were sent north under more adequate pro- tection and safely reached their des- tination.
Elections nowadays are somewhat similar to those in the past, Edwards agrees. They had a few scuffles around the polls then, but they were confined to flat fighta. He cannot re- member anything that compares with the recent Texas democratic conven- tion.
BOLTED PARTY ONCE
"We fought with fists, but it seems that they used standards or anything they could pick up."
Edwards alwaya haa voted for the republican nominees except in 1912 when he broke the ranks and fol- lowed Theodore Roosevelt In his progressive movement. He has no idea of changing his viewa at this time and November 6 will find him stamping under the eagle as usual.
Two Killed, 3 hurt In Auto Collisions On Ozarks Highways
Motor car accidents In the Ozarks over the weekend resulted in the destha of John Devine, 40. of Green- field, and Ira Shurley. 31, of Cedar county.
Devine was killed early Sunday. three miles south of Everton, wben hia motor car akidded in gravel and overturned.
--
A collision caused by poor bead- - lights resulted in the death of Shurley when his motor car crashed with another driven by William Hensley, » neighbor. 13 miles south of Eldorado Springa on highway No. 64. John Bradshaw, an occupant of Bhurley's car. auffered a broken erm. Three others were uninjured.

'MY HOME TOWN'
Backward Glimpses Ry Spring- fleidians to Places They've Loved and Still Cherish
By CELIA RAY
ABOUT every two weeks these crisp autumn evenings-as well as other leisurely evenings the year around - Walter A. Coon, vice president and trust officer of the Un:on National bank, drives down to see the folks in his home town- Republic, Mo.
But Republic is not Mr. Coon's only home town. . He still cherishes pleasant memories of some other Coon Ozarks communities in which he spent several years. He was born in Urbana, then known as an educa- tional center. Hermitage was an- other of his "home towns" and it was there that he learned to fish. swim and hunt. When he was small his parents moved to Buffalo where he spent most of his youth. It was in Buffalo, under the direction of "Uncle" Steve Burris. a pioneer merchant that Mr. Coon learned the mercantile business in which he first engaged when he went to Republic in 1899.
"My first glimpse of Republic was in April 1887," recalled Mr. Coon. "I was just a boy and went to Republic to help a preacher move there from Buffalo. I remember we camped out and stayed all night. I was not used to seeing trains and spent most of the night watching them go by. I liked the town. so well I resolved to! move there some day."
After a few years in Republic Mr. Coon became associated with the Bank of Republic and still is presi- dent of that Institution.
"Republic is noted for its excellent people and for its small fruits such as grapes and strawberries and its apple orchards." said Mr. Coon. "It always was noted for the coopera- tion amon7 its people."
Mr. Coon further claims that Re- public was the "daddy" of good roads in this county. It built the first gravel road in Greene county, a stretch of more than 25 miles of road built by public subscription. He also points out that Republic had the first accredited first class high school in the county outside Spring- field.
Mr. Coon finds it pleasant to re- count his associations with friends he first met when he settled in the Greene county town.
Republic, Nr. Coon says, is one of
the few small towns which has held its own in population in recent years. He gives figures showing the growth of the town as follows: 1890. population 250: 1900, population 750: 1910. population around 1000. and 1928. population about 1200.
"I only hope that some day I can retire and live on a few acres of land near Republic." sald Mr Coon. "where I can grow my own straw berries and grapes. apples, peaches and cream and can have plenty of fried chicken, country ham smoked with hickory chips, gravy. eggs and old fashioned dried apple pie cut In half moon shape and fried."

'MY HOME TOWN'
Backward Glimpses Ry Spring- Cieldians to Places They've Loved and Still Cherish
By CELIA RAY
NORFOLK, & picturesque little town in northwestern Connecti- cut, is the old home town of Dr. E. M. Shepard, former dean of Drury college and one of the out- standing geolo- gists of the coun- try.
Doctor Shepard
Was bor in Windsor .. Conn. but his parents moved to Norfolk when he was 6
years of age. His forefathers had Shepard lived in that section many years. having first come to Hartford and then moved from there to Windsor.
Doctor Shepard remembers his home town as a peaceful little coun- try village, situated in mountains in the midst of a beautiful lake coun- try. The town now. however. has become an ultra-fashionable sum- mer resort for wealthy New Yorkers. Large estates on which are built magnificent homes spread out from the town several miles in every di- rection.
The lovely mountainous country used to be attractive Doctor Shepard for boyish fishing excur- sions. It was in this region that he learned a love for the out of doors which resulted in his important geological surveys in later years.
During the past summer Doctor ¡ Shepard made a trip to the east and visited his old home town He found the usual changes one would expect time to effect. But he also found the country transformed by the pretentious country homes, at- tractive drives and the like. His old home was still standing-an old- fashioned New England house of 14 rooms. H ealso met some of his old schoolmates and together they re- called the days that are past.
