whose career and that OF j. Edward

sirous of rounding out his career as a

pating in several campaigns. he is said
TO have laid his plans 20 capture the
senstorship now held by George Tur-
ner. He organized the campaign, cap
,ured the Legislature, and apparently
is sure TO be elected. though some Of
the Republicans are fighting Ankeny
with a candidate from Seattle, lawyer
named Preston.
Mr.. Ankeuy was born in Washington.
