HON. BENZ. H. MARBURY WILL
BE A CANDIDATE FOR AT
TORNEY-GENERAL

The Attorney Generals department,
| during the past twenty-four years,
has grown in great Importance to
our party, to large business interests
and to the people as a whole; and, this
is true, not only from the fact that
this department is the law adviser of
our great state, and has to brief and
represent the state in the Supreme
Court in every felony case, but it is
the department that must inforce the
laws of Missouri, in the great business
world.
1t, therefore, becomes very neces-
sary that the Democratic party NOM
mate man of unquestioned ability
and large experience, as well as alb
solute personal and political integri-
ty, as their candidate for Attorney
General at our next state primary
selection.
/ Keeping in mind all these facts,
st, Francois county and Southeast
Missouri will present, unanimously,
the name of Hon. Benz. H. Marbury
of Pennington, st. Francois county,
as man, Democrat and lawyer,
who, in every essential, meets the re-
quirments as stated above.
Mr.. Marbury was reared in Missis-
sippi county, educated in Marvin
(then Bellevue) College and the St.
Louis Law School, the Law Depart
ment of Washington University; mar
ried in Washington county, and for
the past twenty years has practiced
law in st. Francois county; he has
served as City Attorney at Farming
ton and Prosecuting Attorney of St.
Francois county, and since that has
devoted himself exclusively to the
practice of law, and has established
a reputation as one of the very best
lawyers of this state.
With Mr.. Marbury as our candi-
date for Attorney General, the DEM
ocratic party would go before the
people of Missouri with the assurance
that, if elected, this state would have
an officer at the head of the law de-
partment of this state second to none
who has heretofore served in that ca
pacity for honesty, experience and
ability. We bespeak for him the
unanimous support of Southeast Mis-
souri,.

PRESENT ECONOMIC AND COM
MERCIAL CONDITIONS UN-
PARALLELED IN HISTORY
OF U. S.
Immense Manufacturing Plants Be.
ing Enlarged, New Corporations
and Companies Being Formed
in Many Fields of Industry

The present world wars and the re-
cent enactment of score or more of
prudent and beneficial laws for the
government of developing industries,
have developed an economic and COM
mercial condition never before ex-
perienced in this country. The ener-
gies of man are being drawn upon as
never before by the exacting condi-
tion and exigencies of the day. The
enormously large orders for the pro-
ducts of our factories, of our mines
and of our fields are without a par
allel in the history of the world.
The vast immense manufacturing
plants of this country are at present
inadequate to do the big orders be-
ing placed with them; but plans have
been made for the enlargement of
these factories, big and costly wings
and additions to be erected to many
of the factories. A monster steel
trust or company is now in course of
organization that will, when formed,
equal in size the vastness of the
United States !. Steel Corporation
which was formed in 1901.
New ship building companies, min
ing companies, transportation COM
panies, and manufacturing companies
of every kind and character are now
necessarily being created, and exist
ing companies enlarged, to supply the
demands of the present and there is
every prospect that the future de-
mands will far surpass those of the
present.

And it is already showing results.
The Barrett campaign is interesting first be-
cause it the elimination of long period
OF careful preparatory work. during all of which the
goal Of national advertising has been kept con-
stantly in view Toward that goal the efforts of the
past two years have been steadfastly directed.
For more than two years this company has been
making preparations with the greatest conserva-

Before becoming ready to advertise, this

The second feature which makes the campaign
interesting is that the plans laid far enough in
advance to get the fullest advantage of the very first
advertising. Six weeks ago proofs of the first page
were sent to the statesmen to show to prospects,
which they did with splendid results
On February 10th the following telegram was
sent to six distributors in towns nearby where there
was representation:

Before the appearance of the advertisements,
contracts were closed with three of the five and
there are good prospects of getting the other two.
Letters were also sent to a large number of
other distributors and customers are being added
