BRADLEY FOR STATE AUDITOR

Senator John l.. Bradley of this
county, while in st. Louis last
Friday, is credited by the Repub-
lie Gs having announced his can.
didacy for State Auditor and in
this connection says: lie is
known in Southeast Missouri as
the Democratic. Labor candidate
and is the author and supporter Of
the eight. hour miners grourd
law, the eight hour telegraphers
law, the sixteen hour trainmen S
law and the fellow servant law
Mr.. Bradley has received numer-
Gus solicitations from fellow-legis-
latOrs throughout the State, from
friends at home, and from labor
organizations, which recognize aud
appreciate his work in their behalf
in the Senate and House, to make
the race for State Auditor. The
latter also appreciate the fact that
while he has been faithful and 10y
al to their interests in his legis-
lative capacity, that his public pc
sition has not been remuneratlve
and that his faithfulness ought to
be recognized by their support of
him for some Office that will help
him out of a financial strait. Other
friends recognize the fact that be-
cause of his standing among the
laburing men of the State, he would
be one of the most popular candl-
dates before the people and add
strength to the Democratic ticket,
for Mr.. Bradley is more than the
laboring mans friend-he is a 10y
al Democrat. and takes pride i'll
calling attention to the fact that all
the legislation enacted in this State
for lettering the condition of the
laboring man was the work of the
Democratic party, Much of this
Legislation has been secured
through his energetic and untlring
labor, and his candidacy for State
Auditor will meet with a warm re-
ception throughout the State.
Mr. Bradley, rs we have limited
is not man of means, and the
only thing that stands in his way
is the difficulty that will confront
him III making a thorough canvass
of the State for the nomination
but this is offset by the assurance
that his legislative record is wei
known in all parts Of the State, es
pecially where there is labor or
ganization, and that he has friend:
and supporters who will come tt
his aid and talk up his claims tC
popular recognition. In Southeast
Missouri we do not believe that
Mr.. Bradley will have any oppo-
sition, and he will roll up big
vote at the primary.

aud Tuesday to consider uniform
plan Of State law enforcement

decided stand was taken against

forcement of laws enacted to regu-
late corporations doing business in
