EX-GOVERNOR LON V. STEPH-
EMS Of Missouri called at the Ma
tlonal Democratic Headquarters thil
morning. Governor Stephens is en-
thusiastic for the success of Wilson
and Marshall in Missouri. "All th,
Clark men in our State are working
with might and main for the success
of the ticket and l have no doubt
that Wilson will carry Missouri BY
not less than 10000 plurality" said
Governor Stephens. Even though
there has been no split in the
ranks of the Republican party, Mis-
souri, would have rolled by hand
some plurality for Governor Wilson.
Under existing conditions, the State
is likely to break all records in the
number of votes it will cast for Gov
ernor Wilson"
