HADLEY TO RUN FOR GOVERNOR.
His Candidacy Formally Announced
by I. B. Kimbrell.
In a rally held at Republican Headquarters, 1111 Grand avenue, last night, Prosecuting Attorney Isaac B. Kimbrell, one of the principal speakers, formerly announced the candidacy of Attorney General Herbert S. Hadley for the gubernatorial nomination of Missouri in the campaign of 1908. Mr. Hadley asked before the meeting that his name not be mentioned at this time for the office, but Mr. Kimbrell made the announcement and asked for the support of the party in Kansas City for Hadley for that office.
The principal speech of the evening was made by Attorney General Hadley, in which he heartily indorsed William J. Campbell for sheriff, and made a strong appeal for his election today. He also indorsed William H. Taft for the nomination for president in the election of 1908. He stated that in the national campaign the principles and policies of Theodore Roosevelt must be carried out, and that the Republicans can not do a greater wrong than to turn against his policies. He said the approaching general election is the most important one for the nation's welfare that has been held in many years.
