Charles w. Evans of Mountain
Grove has thrown his hat in
the ring" as a candidate for Rep.
resentative of Wright county.
His announcement appears in
this issue of the Mirror.
Mr.. Evans is a son of DR.. J. j,
Evans of Names. His studies in
the grade schools of the county
we're followed by a course in
the high school at this place,
where he graduated with honors.
After teaching school a few
years he entered the University
of Missouri and graduated fro m
it's school of Law in 1910. He
began practice in Wright county
and in 1918 formed a partner
ship with A. M. Curtis, which
still exists. About three years
ago they established an office in
Mountain Grove, with Mr.. Evans
in charge, Mr.. Curtis remaining
at the county seat. Although
the profession might be termed
a bit crowded in Mountain Grove
Mr.. Evans has built up a nice
business and has the confidence
and esteem of the people.
He is well qualified fer. the
office which he seeks and should
he be nominated and elected the
welfare of the county and its in
terests and institutions will be
looked after at the
state capitol. His pleasing ad-
dress, genial hospitality, legal
ability and oratorical powers
will come into good play at tine
state capitol and make him an
influential member and a valu-
able one to the county. /
He comes of a good, old fash.
ioned Republican family which
has always done it's best for
party welfare, but has not as
yet had it's turn at the rewards.
Should he be honored by the
nomination, we feel sure that
neither his supporters nor the
