WALLACE CROSSLEY
Democratic Candidate for
Lieutenant Governor
of Missouri

Ever since Wallace Crossley,
of Warrensburg, announced as a
candidate for Lieutenant Govern
or hardly a day has passed but
that some good word for him has
been received in the Democrat
office. Newspapers come in con-.
tanning praise of his ability: his
strength, his clean character and
the record he made in both the
upper and lower houses of the
stote legislature, and then some
man drops in who insists that
the Warrensburg mar is the
right man for the second highest
Office in the state Of Missouri.
Aud Judging from the record he
has made both in public and pri.
vate life it would seem as if they
are right. No man in the state
of Missouri stands higher than
Senator Crossley, and if he Sc
cures the nomination he would
not only make an ideal candidate
but an ideal officer also. The
Democratic party could not do.
better than to select him for the
second place on the ticket. Sc
dalia Democrat.
Mr.. Crossley is admirably e
quipped to discharge the duties
of Lieutenant Governor, being
thoroughly informed upon legis.
lative duties, and the Democracy
of Missouri will do itself high
credit by elevating him to this
important Office. He is in every
way worthy of the position he
seeks, and his nomination would
add strength to the Democratic
state ticket. He is an ideal man
for the place.-Nevada Post.

he has the qualification to fill the
Office to which he aspires. His

counties for twenty five years.
He has lived in Springfield for
many years and served that city
