In the 18th Senatorial Dislrict, com.
posed Of tue counties OF Monroe Guern-
sey and a portion of Noble, Mr.. Frank
NJ. Atkinson, OF Williamsburg, Noble
County, has been nominated as the Dem
ocratic candidate for State Senator The
Democrats of Guernsey refused to send
any delegates to the Convention and de-
cline to recognize Mr.. Atkinson as the
Democfstic nominee. They claim that
Monroe and Noble fixed the time and
place for the Convention without consult
ing Guernsey, and that the candidate
should have been tskea from Guernsey
this year. It seems TO US that The Dem.
ecrats Of Guernsey are doing q very
foolish thing to thus jeopardlze the elec.
ton ofa Democratic majority inthe Leg
islature and the election of q Democratic
II. S. Senator. The best thing they can
do is 10 support Mr.. Atkinson.
