JOHN e. sWANoER.
Republican Nominee for Secretary o.
State-for Reelection.

John e. swanger. the Republican nomi-
nee for Secretary OF State. is the only
one Of the Republican State officials
elected In 1894 who is a candidate for
reelection. Messrs. Hadley. Gmelich and
Wilder are nominees for other offices than
those to which they were elected four
years ago and Lieutenant Governor J. C.
Mckinley IL a candidate for the Republi-
can nomination for United States Sena"
tor.
John E. Swanger was born on a farm
in Sullivan county, Missouri, near Milan,
June %. 1854. His father was Of Penn
s~ylvania German stock and his mother
descended from German-French parent
age. Mr.. Swanger worked on his fathers
farm during summer months and at
tended school in a log school house In
the n~eighborbood in the winter months.
After one term In the Milan High School
he attended the Normal School at Kinks

as his father had been. in educational
matters. he was repeatedly elected n
member Of the school board, serving
thereon for more than twenty years. He
was treasurer OF the board In 1885, when
the bank In which the school funds were
deposited failed. and though not person.
ally liable he made good every cent OF
the loss from his private funds. This
evidence Of his personal integrity was not
lost on his fellow citizens, n he was
elected County Treasurer In the follow
ing year, and reelected two years later.
Notwithstanding the county was Demo-
cratic. In business affairs he has been
slgnally successful, having long been at
the head OF large financial interests and
numerous enterprises. In 1904 he was
nominated at the Republican State Con-
%vention for State Auditor by reclamation.
and was elected, receiving the second
highest vote on the ticket.
Mr., Wilder was urged to accept nomi-
nation for reelection as State Auditor.
but he felt that he could not afford to
spend four more years In that office. the
duties Of which fully apsorbs his time
and taxes his strength. The duties OF
the Office for which he was nominated In
August are not so exacting and will not
confine him to a desk, as 1t Involves
travel n outdoor work. He 10 pecu-
liarly fitted for the office OF Railroad and
Warehouse Commissioner. having long
been an extensive shipper and being quite
familiar with the matters which pertain
to that office. As ono OF the three mem
bers OF the present Board OF Railroad and
Warehouse Commissioners Is a Repubii-
can. the election OF Mr.. Wilder will In
sure Republican control OF that very I'm
moro to the farmers, manufacturers and
shippers OF the State. Under Demo-
cratic control 1t has not accomplished
much.
Mr.. wilder Is a man who leads n sober,
honest, plain life. free from excuses and
full Of devotion to his family. his friends.
his state and his party. At his home In
ste. Genevieve he has always been one
Of the foremost and most e~nterprlsing and
successful citizens.
AZ State Auditor Mr.. Wilder has revo-
iutionized the methods n long estab-
lished policies OF hat great department
OF the state government by following
strictly the requirements Of the law and
drawing warrants only for claims justly
and legally payable-and In refusing TO
draw warrants In payment OF any claim
until the fund from which II was payable
could liquidate the warrant. Heretofore
Auditors have drawn warrants on funds
In which there was no money and treas
urers have paid them out OF the money
Of other funds, a practice prohibited by
nw. In an article In this supplement the
effect OF Mr.. Wlder's lawful course 10
clearly pointed out.
Having been faithful and true IN no
great q trust as that reposed In him fsur
years ago, Mr.. Wilder Is now entitled to
the confidence and reward OF the voters
OF the state.
