GARDNER GIVES THANKS.
All Democrats to Look Alike TO Him
When Elected.

After casting his vote on Tuesday,
Col. Fred D. Gardner started for
Los Angeles to see his wife who went
there several days before on account
Of her health. He has wired the fol-
lowing on the result of the primary:
l learn by wire here today that |
have been nominated as the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor by an
overwhelming vote. / am deeply
grateful to the Democrats Of Mis-
souri, for this confidence. Of course,
it means my election. I want to say
that it wal but natural with six dis
tinguished opponents that all should
have had their loyal friends. /
haven't a particle of bitterness or
feeling against those individuals or
organizations who did not support
me. If | am Governor there will be
no Democratic factions: all Demo-
Gratis will look alike to me whether
they supported me or not. / now re-
peat that shall never be a candidate
for Office again. My ambition will be
to serve all the State SO efficiently
and with such good results, that all
the people will regret when my term
has expired.
