A COLUMBIAN FOR GOVERNOR

Missouri voters, the open season Ter
candidates is here When you are
considering men for the governors
chair you will do well to consider a
Columbia man.
Columbia has a citizen who is known
throughout Missouri as a statesman.
as churchman, as scholar. as Gusi-
ness man and as a man of public spir-
it. He is nationally known because
of his activities in various lines and
has had the honor of being the nation-
al president of a large church body.
He works for all that is good and his
work has taken him to every part OF
Missouri; his desire for information
and for the coed things of the world
has taken him to all parts of the
world. He is known by sight to more
people in Missouri perhaps than any
other man.
If one has lived in Missouri and has
been interested in the Democratic par
ty, in the cause of prohibition, in
Baptist church affairs. in coed roads.
in Masonry, in education, in Red Cross
work. in the printing trades. in jour
nalism, or if he has read or knows
anything about our new capitol build
ing, ne knows this Columbian.
Mentioned as a candidate for gov
ernor several times. he cannot refuse
the nomination if his party wants him
now. In time of war, men can be
drafted for service. The people Of
Missouri need the services of this man
of whom Missouri and Columbia are
proud.
