City will likely get that part of st.
Louis which Dalton does not get.
This together With that ofKansas City
jackson county, will alone make for
him comparatively good showing 10
the convention. Lieutenant Cover
nor Clsycomb is covering the state
pretty generally, aud making very
little noise. He has considerable
which the first ballot in lhe
will doubtless chow.
CANDIDATES FOR LIEUT.. GOVERNOR.
There are three candidates for lieut.
all of whom are strong
in their respective sections Of the state.
John B. O'Mesra, of St. Louis, has
been announced for some time, but
his success will be largely contingent
upon the success of " Farmer" Dial.
ton. At least this is the view politi-
clans take Of it. The precedent, as it
is stated, has been for years to concede
to the Irish citizens Of Missouri one
place on the state ticket. This
rule, if strictly adhered to at
the approaching state convention.
wonld not permit the nominating Of
both Mr.. Dalton and Mr.. OMesra,
For the same reason it is thought that
it will lie hard to hold the st. Louis
vote to either Dalton or ON ara.
Should any other candidate than
Dalton be nominated for governor, St.
Louis will probably be given the Sec
ond place on the ticket, which will be
O'Meara for lieutenant governor, in
as he will be the only candi-
date for any state Office from the
Mound City.
A. w. FIorea of Nodaway is prom.
inently spoken Of throughout the
state, and will prove q hard man to
beat. Mr.. w. F. futile of Pettis lie
also favorably mentioned. The con.
test will be made lively for the man
who wins.
LEsUEUR AND sEsBERT.
1t now looks as if Secretary of
State A. A. Leuseur and Auditor
Seibert will have no opposition for
Of them an exchange
very appropriately says:
THE one-Lesueur- as secretary
Of state and Seibert as state auditor.
They are both model officers and
have discharged their official duties,
respectively, with such a high degree
of credit to themselves and perfect
to the people that's charge
in the incumbency Of either place
would seem worse than folly and
would be the establishment Of a prec-
edent which would ever attest that
official service carried with il
no weight on an appeal tor party en-
do:sement."
GENTRY, STEPHENS AND PITTS
One of the closest, but all all
around good natured contests is for
the nomination for state treasurer.
Dick Gentry, of Pettis. Lon Stephens
Of Cooper, and Frank l.. Pitts, of
Monroe, are having a three cornered
fight that will be close to the finish.
It is a good natured affair. however,
and there is not a drop Of bad blood
IN it.
1t is one Of those contests where
selected will be hard to make be.
cause of the worthiness of the aspir-
ants. Stephens is credited with an
Endorsement by Butler. Mississippi,
Ripley, Ozark and Polk counties.
Gentry is very strong in St. Louis,
md will undoubtedly get the best
part of the city's vote when it comes
to nominating a state treasurer.
Pitts It is understood has arranged for
Randolphis vote which will likely be
one of . number of other counties he
will get from that section.
FOR ATToRNEY-GENERAL
1t is said that Hon. John NJ. Wood
has done more hard work in office
Than any other encouragement who
has ever served the state. The nota-
bic work that came under his direc-
lion was the holland trial and numer-
ous suits against the Railroad and ex-
Press companies. On this ground he
e claiming and asking reelection.
However, his opponents are thick and
Ill very popular in their respective
localities. Frank Walker, ex private
to Governor Francis and
ex.assistant to ex-Attorney-
General Bsnton G. Boone, has been
\ candidate for several weeks. He is
\ man Of many friends and his can.
vsss is already showing strength.
Sam Sparks Of Warrensburg and
Henry Timmonds of Lamar are also
hard for Mr.. Woods place.
