There has been . lingering suspi-
cion for months that King might be .
candidate for the nomination for con-
gress in the Eleventh district, and 1t
is not certain yet that he will not be.
But he said while here that the way
things are going in Washington on the
tariff matter he is not sure that he
wants to be q candidate. He says
things are so mixed over the tariff
question that 1t Is mighty uncertain

pally on personal lines. each candidate

first county In the state to vote dry

to King.

Representative Ratliff, who has serv-
ed two terms in the house. and who got
in bad with the republicans OF the
house by voting with the democrats
for the repeal of the county option law
last winter, will not be re-nominated,
according to all reports. But wheth-
err his successor will be a wet or dry
republican remains to be seen. Wayne
county was the first county in the
state to vote itself wet at local OPP
ton election, but whether this same
spirit will control the next nomination
of a candidate for representative to
succeed Ratliff is still question. The
general belief here, however. Is that a
dry man will be nominated. Wayne
county just now holds unique posi-
ton among the republican counties
for that reason.
