will be fair and impartial In the selec-

aim TO SO preside over the delibera-
lions Of the state senate that each one
OF the 80 districts will have voice In
shaping legislation. I believe that the
state senate should proceed with its
work promptly, but that sufficient op-
portunity should be given for such In
vestigation as may insure intelligent
| action"
Senator John N. Anhut thinks he
has mascot for his campaign In

the old Anhut club, which elected him
triumphantly two years ago, Is en-
| listed in the work.
