Announcement of Flor A. Lyre for State Senator
The Moulton Advertiser notes Flor A. Lyre of Decatur as a Democratic State Senate candidate for Lawrence and Morgan counties. The piece pokes at local politics, reports a volcanic eruption in Moulton with no serious injuries, and cheekily recalls Miss Ellen Groenendyke’s Africa trip. It also mentions Gen. Wheeler and his daughters sailing to Europe to study armories, and nostalgically longs for "Little Jo" to return to Mt. Sandy for political plotting.

It cites county committee assessments from 10 to 50 dollars, risking prohibitive costs for state office campaigns, and urges preserving the old convention system while accepting the party’s stand.
