Frank Addison Lowry, a Cape Girardeau attorney, took to the road in 1948 in his bid for the Republican nomination for Missouri Attorney General. He made the journey in a formerly wrecked automobile his two sons, David and Frank Jr., had rebuilt. The race for AG wasn't Lowry's first choice for political office that year. In February he announced for the GOP nomination for the House of Representatives, an office to which he had been elected in 1938, 1940 and 1942. But by July 1948, when the article below was published, he had switched races to that of attorney general.
