Nominates Mr.. MOorehead.

The arrensburg Star In its issue
Of last week says editorially, while
it may yet be premature to discuss
the makeup Of the next Legislature,
yet there is already some interest
manifested as to who will represent
the senatorial district Of Cass, John
son aud Lafayette counties. Senator
Brown has served with distinction
and in the event of his seeking re-
election there might be no opposition.
The reople have confidence IN him
and it IS we'll known that efficiency
increases with length of service.
"In the event, however. of Senator
Brown not being in the race the
Star desires to suggest the name OF
Jas. R. Moorehead Of Lexington for
for the position. Mr.. Moorehead IS a
SPLENDID ge tleman Of high moral
worth and ideals in harmony with
what is best for the people. BE is
well known as an excellent and sue
cessful business man. Heis popular
wherever be is known and If he could
be prevailed upon to become a can
! didate for the state senate the citi-
) zens of the 17th senatorial district

a proud of their representative 10 the
