BOOM FOR CRADDOCK.
Democrats VIII Launch His Move
ment For Governor.

A boom for Mayor A. H. Craddock
for the Democratic nomination for gov
ernor will be started at the meeting of
the Democratic state committee here
tomorrow when the Democrats and
Populists will again try to get together
to devise plan to knock out the anti
fusion law.
Craddock is said to be exceedingly
popular in Kansas City, as evidenced
been some talk among the fusionists OF
running him for congress in the Second
district against Congressman Bower
sock, but Craddock has an ambition to
be governor instead of congressman.
This will give Wyandotte county two
candidates for governor in case a fu-
sion arrangement is effected-Edwin
