Francis Campaign Swing Through Lexington Impresses Crowd
Former Governor David R. Francis of St. Louis, now a U S Senate candidate, spent a day in Lexington meeting locals, ministers, and officers, renewing acquaintances and winning favorable sentiment. He traveled from Macon to Lexington by train, greeted by Judge Alexander Graves, and walked Main Street amid a steady stream of admirers. The event signaled strong Democratic support, with many locals impressed by his personable, memory-for-names style and widespread warmth from supporters and opponents alike. A second item reports the wedding of Arthur Marquardt and Louise Nigg at the German M E Church, followed by a reception and a rice-sent departure for Garfield Kansas, with a large crowd and many gifts noting the bride’s popularity.
