The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa Thursday, March 29, 1906 Iowa may have the proud distinction of having a former citizen of Lucas County for Lieutenant Governor. While at the editorial meeting at Osceola a couple of weeks ince, the Leader met Editor BRANDT, of Iowa City, and in conversation learned that he formerly resided in Washington Township, Lucas County, within a half mile where the writer spent his early days. MR. BRANDT remembered the WESTS, GILBERTS, MCKINLEYS, et al and his father owned what is now a part of the MULLEN farm adjoining Monroe County line, this part of the farm being in Lucas County, and the "PASCHAL" place, cornering and across the road in Monroe. This was many years ago. The family left there and the gentleman referred to later went into the newspaper business at Iowa City and is now contemplating making the race for Governor of Iowa on the Republican ticket -- or at least making a try to that effect. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert October 4, 2004 [email protected]
