WRONG IMPRESSION. In talking With
numb-r of what We supposed were
well.inEormed business men, we were
surprised to learn that they were labor.
ing under the impression that only the
STATE Senators from the various counties
were the ones who voted in the election
of United States Senator. How they
ever got that impression without it was
given out for certain purposes we do not
kuow, hut We wish to inform those who
do not know any better that not only the
State Senators but also the Assembymen
from all the counties vote in the election
for U. 8. Senator, and that as far as that
10 concerned, the election of an Assem-
blyman is Of just as nuoh importance as
that Of State Senator. Their duties are
the same, and they have the same power,
the only difference being that q State
Senator is elected for four years, willis.
an Asssmblyman is only elected for two.

chasing, ordered him to take them to
Kiepe's restaurant for Sunday morning

qualified for the position. He has been

Tor several years past and is identified
