State Senator, l.. l.. Blanchard OF
the Mahaska district will be nomi
mated at the Republican County
Convention July 20, BY acclimation,
as there are no rival candidates.
This fact alone show that the people
of Mahaska county appreciate his
merits and the hard work Judge
Blanchard did for them and their
district, hence his. nomination per-
maps by unanimous convention, and
his election this fall by an over
whelmning majority, at least we hope
so. The Judge has made one of the
best lawmakers that we have in the
legislature and by his previous ex-
perience will be able to do even
more. We hope that the republi-
cans will see to it that the Senator
is returned to the legislature on his
sesond term.
