The Pertinent Paragraph
Toward the middle of this official
paean Of victory of organized labor Of
Missouri comes the paragraph which
proclaims that the State Federation
of Labor has actively entered the Mis-
souri, political field and is there to
put only men over at primaries and
elections who are positively known
ito be friends OF organized labor" 1t
reads.
Enclosed is a poster of the candi-
dacy of Hon. Mark A. McGruder for
Attorney General. AS a member of
the Missouri State Senate, Senator
McGruder proved a true friend of or
ganized labor and we request you to
hang this poster in a conspicuous
place in your meeting hall and do all
you can to secure his nomination and
election. This is in line with the poll
icy of the American Federation of La
bor that we should reward our friends
and elect to public office only men
who have proven themselves to be
true friends OF organized labor"

From Springfield comes the infor-
nation that lawyer Charles ]. Wright,
who was a member of the Forty-sev-
enth House from the First District Of
Greene county. is ready to officially
file for the democratic nomination for
Attorney General, figuring that all Of
south Missouri will support him.
Down in Poplar Bluffs. the southeast
corner Of the state, is lawyer William
II. Meridith who aspires for the same
honor on the democratic ticket of
next November subject to the prim-
airy of next August. He is also de-
pending on south Missouri to give him
enough votes to safely cross the Rubi-
con. Both men have made reputa-
tions for themselves battling against
the John Barleycorn forces in the past
m their respective counties and count
on the dry vote Of the party TO rally
behind them. As Prosecuting At
torney OF Butler county Meridith
squelched and finally put to flight a
questionable element there and this
crusade for law and order finally led
TO a victory for local option in that
end of Missouri.
