The City of 81. Louis Furnishes the Largest Majorit
for the Republican Ticket.
To Win in November, Nominate NATHAN FRANK for UNITED STATES
SENATOR at the Primary Election August |, 1916.
The State Ticket Should Be Headed by a Strong Voe=Geter From st. Louis

In submitting to you the facts con-
corning the candidacy Of the Hon. Ma
than Frank, ! wish TO say without fear
Of contradiction, that no man in the
state of Missouri Is better equipped
and qualified for the high Office to
which he aspires. than is Mr.. Frank.
His election and services in the 50th
and 51st Congresses. equips him as an
experienced legislator. His record
therein shows him a man who initiates
and leads in legislative matters. He
Is a large employer Of labor and has
always been fair to same. He Is a firm
believer in the rights Of the laborer
and that no man should be compelled
to toll for a longer period than eight
hours per day. thereby giving him
eight hours In which to attend to his
private affairs and pleasure and eight
hours for sleep.
He is a good roads enthusiast and
was n among the first to advocate
good roads In Missouri. He made and
raised a large contribution to make
the campaign and carry the $3.000.0 900
bond issue in st. Louis county. which
was the first bond issue in behalf Of
good roads in the state.
When he was elected to Congress
he was endorsed by the Union Labor
Party. which was then a strong polit-
ical party in the state of Missouri. As
a big and successful business man, he
is not surpassed by either OF his op-
ponents. or this you may inquire OF
any business firm. corporation or bank
In the city Of st. Louis. As a LAWYER
he ranks among the foremost of the
Middle West. As a political campaign
or and stump speaker. he is without a
peer in either political party. in Mis-
souri,. He has at all times been a con-
sistent and enthusiastic Republican.
He made the closing argument on the
Mckinley tariff bill In Congress at the
request OF its author. VIM. Mckinley
and was manager Of the successful
uNsasconvention campaign Of VIM. Nc
Kinley for President In Missouri in
1896.
His nomination for United States
Senator by the Republican party at the
August primary will mean his election
to that Office at the general election
in November. His nomination will add
strength to the Republican state ticket
in the general election and thus in.
.sHren-compfete party victory in No
vember.
For over forty years both United
States Senator's have come from KAN
sas City and surrounding territory.
Senator Vest claimed. Sedalia. Pettis
county as his residence during his first
term as Senator, and Kansas City,
Jackson county. thereafter. Senator
Cockrell vas from Johnson county.
Senator Stone was originally from
Vernon county. but he now claims Cole
county as his residence. While Scna-
tors Warner and Reed are from Kan
sas City. The combined services of
these Senator's covering the above
period. -
Do you think the nomination of a Re-
publican candidate for United States
Senator from Kansas City. the home of
Senator Reed. who will doubtless be
the Democratic nominee. would add
strength to the Republican
state ticket in November? Don't you
think that the east side Of Missouri,
and especially st. Louis to whom the
Republicans must look for a big Re-
publican vote to overcome the Demo-
cratic majority throughout the state.
10 entitled to ONT recognition? Don't
you know that unless you nominate a
man from St. Louis for United States
Senator. who Is we'll and favorably
known to all classes, that we are in
danger Of losing the greatest oppor-

you know that there 10 a membership
of near 100000 labor union men in
Missouri and that about 10000 OF them
are Republicans? Don't you know that
the majority Of them will vote for the

times been fair to labor and against
The one who has been unfair? Don't
you know what the labor union voters
will do when they read the letter OF
John T. Smith, secretary and trensur-

that that candidate cannot add
