The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa Thursday, April 19, 1906 FRANK P. WRIGHT - - - - - - The subject of this sketch is a native of Iowa and has continued to reside here all his life. He is an example of the old saw that "it is hard to keep a good man down." Once before he made the race for the treasurer's nomination but was defeated. A few years later he was triumphantly elected to the presidency of the Farmer's Institute and served with distinction until relieved. Now he returns to the broken thread with a wire stretcher and will endeavor to mend the breech. Mr. Wright has conducted a dairy farm for a great many years and has enjoyed the cream of life but feels that he can afford to sacrifice himself for a couple or four years for the good of the common country. He is a mighty good citizen in spite of his politics. His farm operations have not been confined to dairying alone and he says the "blue-eyed meshannock" is not a good potato to plant when "Good Friday" is put off until June 1st. It is too slow in its motions for a late start. He lives in Linco! ln Township but says he wouldn't advise the game warden to stock Little Whitebreast with either (?) or gold fish. He doesn't give his reasons but would no doubt personally tell should you desire to know. He is sincere in his race for the treasurer's office and should anybody tell you it is just a scheme for sufficient notoriety to get appointed on the Panama commission you would be justified in impeaching the testimony. It is probable that as soon as Mr. Wright gets his millet sewed he will challenge his competitors to a series of joint debates. The "P" in his name may stand for Peter or maybe Paul -- but his announcement at presend read: "F.P. Wright, "?" He hopes to do away with the interrogation point about June 1. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert October 8, 2004 [email protected]
