CHARLES G. COFFNAN
FOR STATE SENATE
Of Well Known and
Able Young Attorney
Urging His Candidacy.

Many of the friends of Mr.
Charles G CofEman are urging him
to become a candidate for the State
senate to succeed Senator A. X.
Thorn in the Twelfth Senatorial dis
trict. 1t is understood that Mr..
Coftman has the matter under ad-
vlsement but has not yet definitely
decided whether or not he will be a
candidate.
Mr.. Coffman has been prominently
mentioned as a candidate for prose-
cutting attorney to succeed Will E..
Morris, but the man who beats Mr..
Morris will have hard job on his
hands and no, one knows this better
than Mr.. Coffman. Mr.. Morris has
made an admirable record, and is
one Of the best prosecuting attorneys
this county ever had and his friends
think he deserves to succeed him
self. Mr.. Coffman is an estimable
young man and has been hard
worker for the success of the Re-
publican party. 1t might be a happy
solution of the affair to send Mr..
Coffman to the Senate. He is deserv-
ing Of any office that he may ask
within the gift of the Republicans
of Harrison county.
