Hon. Ralph w. Day
for State Senator
in 22nd. District

The experience OF Ralph w.
Day 10 the LAeislatur re Of 1921 as
the Representative Of Texas
County, his work aud the re
suits obtained FROM it In behalf
of this county and this Ozark
territory make him the logical
man to represent our interests
as Senator from this District,
comprising Texas, Wright, How
ell, Shannon and Oregon Count

Mr.. Days home Ia at Summer.
vile. in Texas County. where he
was born aud raised and where
he is iterested with his father in
farming and stock raising. Part
of his time he attended his Office
there to practice dentistry.
Mr.. Day made himself very
active in the last legislature in
behalf of bills which have to do
with farm life and its improve

ters Of road locating and build.
ing in the Ozark country. for
which both Democrats and
Republicans have solicited him
to run on his ticket for State
Senator. He had no opposition
in securing the nomination.
His work as member of the
House Com nittee on roads and
Peacock Lane bill supported by
MIR. Cunningham, nominee on
the Democratic ticket should
insure the return of Mr.. Day to
the Legislature.
The State Road Law as finally
adopted contain amendments in
troduced and sponsored by Mr..
Day which strengthen the law,
and which insure that no funds
may be diverted from any county
| so that it will receive less than
$1,000 90 for each mile of state
roads as designated in the pre-
sent law. This law designates
for Howell county SO miles, for
Texas county 1871 miles, for
Shannon county 20 miles. for
| Wright county 20 miles and for
Oregon county 20 miles. The
designation. no doubt, in some Of
these counties might have been
increased by proper co operation
on tn. part of the state senator
from this District, but his work
and vote was with the interest
of Kansas City, st. Louis and
other large cities, in behalf of
concrete lanes connecting them,
regardless of any other interest.
Also it is thought Mr.. Days
efforts with the commission that
the Springfield. Memphis, the
Springfield Cape Girardeau and
C,bool Rolla roads through this
territory have been recommend

Voters of Wright county,
especially, should stand behind
Ralph Day by reason Of his work
in securing the recon mendation
for Federal Primary Road,

hood of securing more mileage
to designated roads of this coun

securing aid for our state instit

Voters should also keep in
mind that representatives and
senators who are in sympathy
with the roads CON mission and
the state administration can be
expected to get better results
for their cOnstitueIce than can
