HON. II. |. HERRN.

Hon. Thos. |. Herrn made a
record in the Arkansas legislature
of which his constituents are
proud. For three terms Mr..
Herrn battled for that which he
conceived to be advantageous to
our state and to our people, and
never was there a member in the
halls of the Arkansas legislature
who did more valiant service for
the cause in which he was en-
listed. Not only are the people
of Sharp county proud of Tom
Herrn's record, but his career in
the House attracted the attention
of those all over the state who
are interested in the welfare OF
Arkansas, as is evinced by the
many favorable comments on his
candidacy for the senate by the
press and citizens generally. II
Mr.. Herrn goes to the senate, the
Second district will have a rep
resentative equal to any in the
