STATE CAPITAL GOSSIP
d. r. Francis Being Talked OF for U
8. senator-Senator Bradley for
Congress in This District.

The Republics jefferson City cor
respondcnce of last Monday has the
following political gossip:
In all probability the Legislature
will furnish two candidates for Con-
gress at the next elcction-Hiram
LLOYD, Republican member of the
House, who will seek the nomina-
ton of his party for Congress in the
Twelfth (St. Louis District, and
State Senator John l.. Bradley, who
will go after the Democratic nom!'
nation In the Thirteenth District.
Senator Bradley had good mind
to enter the race for Congress two
years ago, but switched off and
sought the Democratic nomination
for State Auditor. He put up Il
strong race, but John =. Gordon, of
Lafayette, proved a little stronger
and walked away with the prize.
Senator Bradley is very strong
with the labor organizations, and
this vote counts heavily in the
Thirteenth District. At the last
election the Democratic nominee IN
the Thirteenth, NJ. Il. Smith, was
defeated bv Il very narrow margin.
Senator Bradley says he has no
fears Of defeat if he gets the nomi-
nation, and be does not anticipate
any difficulty in this Inter respect,
/ There Is deal of talk here about
clccting former Governor ID. X
! Francis to the United States Senate
in 1911, in the event the Democrats
control the Legislature then, rs nC
doubt they will.
Colonel r. &. Kcrcns has been 81
badly treated by the Missouri Re
publicans that 1t is not at all likely
he will finance another state cam
paign, ms he did last year. in thu
hope that he would be nominated bI
his party for United States Senator
He lost his money and the nomina
ton, and 1t is likely that he knows
enough now to keep his fingers on
of the fire.
The talk here among Democrats
is Francis for the Senate and ChamI
Clark for Governor in 1872. The
next General Assembly will elect ,
successor to Senator William War
ncr, and, without consulting him,
boom has been started among thu
Democratic members of the begis
laturc for Governor Francis.
1t is argued that he will not re
fuse such an honor offered him with
out solicitation, and that his nam'
would tend to arouse the Democrat
and call forth n big vote at the pri
mary.
