The most promising democratic
candidate for governor at this time
is V. r. McGinnis, of Leon, whose
candidacy was announced in the Des
Moines papers Saturday. Mr.. McGln-
mis- is a progressive democrat of the
best type. He is an able lawyer and
an eloquent speaker. He ran for
congress in the Eighth district and
was temporary chairman at the &C.
dar Rapids convention in 1912. He is
opposed to the capitol extension grab
and to all other schemes for taking
the government away from the peo-
pie. It is up to the democrats to
find a governor this year, and they
will not find a better or ADLER man
than V. r. Mcoinnis.-knoxville Ex-

the best governors the state has ever
had.-Creston American.
that Hon. V. r. McGinnis is to be a
candidate for governor. To this paper
the news has gladstone ring. All
the other aspirants we have SO far
heard of live at Des MoiEes, and it is
our honest opinion that no Des
Moines man can be elected governor
this fall, no matter what his name,
creed or platform. Van McGinnis
lives out at Leon, or as travellers
say, Leon is the town where Van Nc
Ginnis lives The attitude of the
moosers makes sure the election OF
a democratic governor this coming
fall, and where's the man better fit
ted to the place than this same Van
cGinnis?-Fremont County Herald.
