Another Curious Feature

Another coincidence in this re-
markable Sedalia political climax
which faces the two dominating par
ties at the coming primary is that
both Senator McGruder and Attorney
Dow's aspirations 10 land the nomi-
nation for attorney-general is being
disputed by two or three other op-
ponents, while the Democratic party
seems willing to let Secretary Of State
sullivan run alone for denomination
and no Republican has come forward
so far and announced he would con-
tend against Harrison for the partisan
place he aspires TO land.
-Four years ago scdalia gained po-
litical prominence through furnishing
two candidates, Judge Henry Lamm
and John A. Swangcr, to run against
one another for the Republican nomi-
nation for governor. 1t was warmly
contested "gop" derby but Judge
Lamm finally gained the support Of
the Republican machine Of 81. Louis
and won out by nearly 1900, Swang-
er running a good second among four
candidates. At the election Judge
L.amm was defeated by Frederick d.
Gardner Of st. Louis, Missouri's pres
ent governor.
Col. Garrett Files for Governor

it may prove news to state that while
Attorney Dow of Sedalia was filing
for the Republican nomination for
attorney-general a special delivery

Secretary of State Sullivan was
born and raised in Sedalia, moving
from there to the state capitol city

voting place and therefore his legal

and it looks now like the nomination
will be handed him entirely without
a contest. AS an efficient state Of

his birthplace, favorable prominence
