Attorney General Crow Will Seek Ke nomination to His Present Position. Jefferson City, Mo., Jan. 8.—Attor- ney General Crow will not be a candi- date for the democratic nomination for governor, but will seek renomina- tion to the present position of attor- ney general. He will attempt to break the record in that office and succeed himself. General Crow has a good record as an official behind him, and as an ora- tor campaigner he has few equals. The announcement of his candidacy was made here to-night by Hon. J W. Halliburton of Carthage, a strong driend of his. Tn an interview Judge Halliburton said: ‘Lam authorized to announce to the people of the state of Missouri that General E. C, Crow will not bea candidate for the nomination for governor, but will be a candidate for the position he now holds. Thedem- ocracy of Jasper county and the fif- teenth congressional district feel proud of the record made by General Crow as attorney general of the state, and they are very heartily infavor of his renomination and will give him an exceedingly warm and hearty sup- port for that position. And we have no doubt that the democracy of the state feels proud of the record made by General Crow. Without saying anything in deroga- tion of those who have filled the oftice in the past, I am free to say that the record made by General Crow in his office is unsurpassed by any man who has ever held that office, and he is one of the kind of men that the party ean afford to renominate, having filled the office with satisfaction to the people, with honor to himself and credit to his party,so that his friends feel that it is due to him to give him the renomination, and his friends in the southwest will use every effort in their power and all honorable means to renominate him, and from my in- formation I have no doubt that the people of the state feel very much as his friends in the southwest do, and that the next convention will give General Crow the nomination to the office of attorney general with but little, if any, opposition. and Hardware Men Denounce Trusts.
