tative from the Tenth distr let. lie
made splendid record in the Legis-
lature in 1900.
On the Republican side here It is
hard to say who will be the candidate.
For State Senator former Senators
McFarlin and John Burris Of this
hundred, are mentioned with Speaker
Theodore II. Clark, Of Red Lion hun
dred. Mr.. Clark has many friends in
this district Senator McFarlin OF
course has hosts of friends as well as
people opposed to him. He voted
for Addicks for Senator and with
Regular Republicans that fact will
make him unpopular. On tho other
hand he would be popular with the
Union Republicans. William Stat.
ford and Elwood Wilson ale mention
ed as probable candidates for repre-.
sentation. The Republicans of this
hundred could make worse selections
than either of these men. George
W. Vantine is another popular Re-
publican whom many Of that party
would like to see in the race. lie is
popular and reliable and would be
sure TO make royal race as the
party's standard bearer. At this
season of the year ii is too soon to
surmise.
