Mr.. Fulkerson is a native Missourian.
of the State. at Westminster College, at
the University Of Michigan. and at the
Missouri State University. He Is a law
yer Of splendid abilities; a man Of ster-
ling integrity and unlmpeachable char
acter; earnest In his convictions, abreast
with the spirit of the times, bold and
fearless, yet considerate and conscien-
tious. He is in the prime of life, forty
two years old splendidly equipped by ma
ture, education and experience to perform
the difficult duties of the important Of
flee to which he aspires. II elected. Mr.
Fulkerson will make one OF the greatest
Attorney Generals Of the country-a fit
ting successor to the present able and
brilliant incumbent. We urge the cleo
ton Of Mr. Fulkerson because of his per
sonal qualifications. his professional abil-
ity. his splendid record as an Official. and
as a public-spirited, progressive citizen
Frank L. Fulkersou was reared on =
Lafayette county farm. where he made
his home continuously until his gradua-
ton from the law department OF the
University Of Missouri. In June, 1892, he
entered upon the practice OF his profess
sion in Johnson county. where he served
as City Attorney OF Warrensburg and
Prosecuting Attorney of johnson county.
earning for himself the reputation Of be-
ing an energetic, earnest and effective Of
fetal. In 1900 he removed to st, Joseph,
where he has since been engaged in the
practice Of his profession, having, since
1905, been the senior member of the law
firm Of Fulkerson. Graham & Smith. He
represented the Fourth District Of Mis-
souri, in the Fifty-Ninth Congress. where
his work was marked by courage, con
servatism and faithfulness to the inter

stands among the most eminent Of Mis-
souri, Circuit Judges. He has always kept
abreast of the times In legal information
and in knowledge Of current events, thus
preparing himself for any duty or oppor-
tunity the might arise In his professional
career.
Judge Cox lives at Bolivar, in Polk
county. He is devoted to his home and
family. and is always delighted when he
can return to them after absence In the
discharge Of his official duties. One Of
his editorial friends has said that Ibis
chief recreation when off the bench is
amateur farming. He has a ten-acre
tract adjoining town on which he grows
fruit and berries, and a good sized farm
farther out. All around he is an ideal
man for Supreme Judge. While being by
no means rich, he has, by moderate liv-
ing, acquired considerable property and
consequently will not be prejudiced against
wealth. Born and raised on a farm and,
In a way, still farming his ~sympathies
will be with farmers. And having lived
in small towns since reaching manhood,
he knows the wants and needs Of their
people"
The candidacy Of Judge Cox for the
nomination was promoted by leading at
Missouri, men who know his worth as a
man, as a jurist and as q true citizen.
His opponents for the nomination were
able, popular and experienced lawyers and
jurists.

D c cox.
Republican Nominee for Judge OF the
Supreme Court.

Judge Argus Cox, Republican nominee
for Judge of the Supreme Court, was
born in Iowa hfty-one years ago. His
birthplace was SO near the Missouri line
that he felt the Missouri spirit and got
into the State as soon as possible after
graduating in the Law Department Of the
Iowa University in 1882. He located at
Carthage, but subsequently removed to
Mountain Grove in Wright county. He
was elected prosecuting attorney of that
county in 1886 and six years later was
nominated by the Republicans and elected
Judge of the Eighteenth Judicial Circuit,
composed of Wright. Dallas, Hickory and
Webster counties. He was reelected in
1898 and again In 1904. In the last cleo
ton he received the largest majority ever
given to any candidate for that office.
Judge Cox has frequently presided as
Judge in other districts, trying special
cases or relieving a Circuit Judge. He
has won an envlable reputation for fair,
impartial Ind learned decisions. He

department has been entirely s~elf-sup-
porting. The fund which had accumu
lated in this department during the ten
years Of the operation OF the banking law
was $3,63S.61. During the four years just
preceding the present incumbency nothing
whatever was added to that fund. Dur
Ing the three and one-half years of Mr..
Swanger's administration the fund has
been increased to $S,3S0.56. Examina-
lions of banks nave been rigid, impartial
and complete. The reports Of the several
examiners rave been subjected to the
most thorough scrutiny, and any violation
OF the banking laws, or the essential rules
Of good banking have been called to the
attention of the bank without fear or
favor and a strict compliance of the law
required. During the present administra-
ton several banks have been closed,
others hat were unsafe required to liqui-
date; others have consolidated, making
stronger institutions, and everything done
that could be accomplished to place the
banking business OF the State upon an
absolutely safe and stable basis. During
Mr.. SwanRer's administration only four
banks and trust companies he has closed
resulted in loss to the depositors. One
Of these was the Middleton Bank at WAY
erly (resulting from a defaulting cashier)
where the depositors viii probably lose
about s to 10 per cent of their deposits.
Another Is the Joplin Savings Bank,
caused by the reckless Investments OF the
president OF the institution, where the de-
positors will lose a percentage OF their
deposits. Another is the Bankers Trust
Company Of Kansas City caused by the
Brady failure. Reckless investments by
the officers Of the institution and a SLUMP
In their values caused by the panic will
cause q loss to the depositors Of about
81 per cent Of their deposits. Last. hui

Although these eminent men are Republi
cans. Loyal. true and devoted. they recog-
nize the fact that the judiciary system
must and should be free from partisan
bias, and that nominees for membership
in the high courts should not actively
engage In partisan contests; hence they
are seeking election In a dignihed and
conservative canvass. Those who wish
to see such able. clean. honorable and
capable men placed on the higher benches
OF our courts should do their utmost &c
bring about their election.
