One of the hottest fights ever Witnesses
in any legislative campaign in thi, st.,.
is largely due to the above copdt;a,.
For twenty-five years Stephen Jud,on =.
been elected off and on to Legislative ana
other positions, from what IL nov IN.
Twentieth senatorial district. He know,
personally nearly every voter in that al.
trict, many of whom have heretofo,.
voted for the man. regardleu i
party. Judson has made a per,oa.
campaign of the district, and claims IA.
a sufficient number of Republicans md
Populists are pledged to bis support d
elect him, although he expects the sta,s
ticket to be showed under ont OF sight
Mr.. Judson is an eloquent speaker and
possesses excellent tact. 0ae Of his O..
thusiasm arousing moves is TO refer 70 bis
long public service and then ask If he is
now going TO be deserted by his old pioneer
friends and supporters.
Judson was elected TO the lower houys
on the Democratic ticket two years ago hy
over 100 votes, although the regular Demo
cratic pacemakers ran between 800 and 40
behind the Republican ticket. But Oh
that trip he did not have L. W.
Taylor in the race with him, II Tar.
Tor cannot down this Democratic Nessos
in the Twentieth senatorial dissries
no Republican in the state need appIy.
Taylor was formerly chairman of the Re-
publican county committee, and. although
a younger man, he knows the voters in bis
district fully as well as pioneer ludson
His careful canvas of the district siva
him plurality of over 100. in spiss Of
Warhorse Judson's pretensions.
On the other hand. Knoble, the PopuIss
candidate, ha, had his head swellsd and
believes he will be elected. sure pop. Tar.
lor and Judson are making the prettieat
kind of a race, and, oil things considersd.
it will be a great victory tor whichevu
man wins. II IL were not fef
the destructive free trade featun
of the controversy, Mr.. Judsont
gray hairs aud able services might Win
votes enough TO give Taylor close brush
Mr.. Taylor's talents, while somewhat Of
the same nature as those that characterize
his opponents, still shine in the yigor q
his rounded manhood as a star of greater
magnitude than Mr.. Judson, whose abb
ties are known throught the state.
