HON WILLIAM W. FRY.
The Well-Known Attorney is sug.
gested for the Legislature by
Ex-Mayor johnson.

To the Editor of the Ledger,
JEFFERSON City, Mo-, January IA
The campaign for the election of a
Representative Of Audrain County in
the next General Assembly has been
inaugurated, with several prospective
candidates in the field-all of whom
are, no doubt, qualified to represent
our county in the Legislature, and
about whom I do not want to speak,
but I would like to ne, your columns
for the purpose Of presenting to our
people a few observations relative to
the work to be accomplished at the
next session, the duties to be imposed
upon its members and the qualifca-
tions necessary to discharge those
duties.
This is Q revision session-an extra
ordinary session-one far different In
scope and purpose from q regular ses-
sion; n which requires not only men
of strong minds and interchangeable in
dustry, but men specially fitted for
he construction OF our statutes,
broad -guaged, liberal, logical; men
without hobbies, men without those
little Municipalities and idiosyncracies
which distract the mind and narrow
the understanding; men capable of
approaching the ideas of others; con-
versant with the statute laws of our
State; in touch with the wishes and
needs Of the people; with sufficient
tact and judgment to interpret the
laws az they now stand and to sug-
gest amendments and repeats when
the law in force is clothed In ambig-
uous terms, or is plainly in conflict
with well-founded precedents, or is
contrary to the best interests Of the
people, or is inconsistent with the
fundamental principles of our govern
ment.
We have not had a good revision OF
our statutes since '65, in consequence
Of which they contain many conflict
ing provisions, and 1t is very neces-
sary that they should be thoroughly
revised and indexed, so that not only
the lawyer, but the laymau may find
and be able to understand the law.
Audrain county should send a mar
whose education, experience and
natural endowment ht him for the
special and important work of this
session. All our prospective candi-
dates are men Of ability and integrity
in every way worthy of the confidence
and respect OF n people, and fully
competent to represent county ir
the Legislature; but, In choosing oul
servant, we must bear in mind TIT
task that Is to be performed and select
the one most suited for it.
suggest the name of w. w. Fry, o
Mexico, a lawyer of long experience
upright, Industrious, broad-guaged, il
every way qualified for the dutie'
incumbent upon him, as Audraii
county's Representative to the mex
Legislature. Respectfully,
BEN. @. JOHNSON.
