merly governor Of Missouri and has q
remarkable record as Il .reformer.
While the salary Of his new Office is
but $4,000. the position is important.
A native Of Tennessee, MI. Folk was
educated at Vanderbilt university,
graduating in law from that institu-
ton tn 1890. Two years later he went
to st. Louis and began the practice of
his profession. In 1900, when thirty
two years of age, he was elected cir
cult attorney of the city, and things
began to happen. During his term Of
Office he exposed mass of official cor
ruption in both city and state. When
he began bribery was the common
thing. When he had completed his
term of office large number of city
comciimen and members of the state
legislature were in prison. The reve-
la1Ons he made awOke Il Slumbering

bittereSt contests in the history of
Missouri politics he won the Demo

state. In the campaign he was elected.
while the others on the ticket. who
were not fought as he was, were de-
feated That was in 1904.
AS governor he put an end to boo
ding in legislative affairs. There was
no scandal in the three legislatures
held under him. Last year he was talk
ed Of as possible candidate for the
presidential nomination by the Demo
