a Trominent business man of Mem

city engineer of Portsmouth Ohio who
has just been nominated Democratic
senator from the 18th district. The
Portsmouth Daily Times editorially
says in part:
Major j. l. Hudson is a strong and
popular man. He struck the right
note as to what a senator should be,
when he said he, if elected, would
serve his state first, stand by the in
terests of his district, and then this

and individuals. No legislator should
be unmindful of the call of his party,
and his friends should have upon him,
but his chief and his first duty is tC
be true to the will Of the people, and
when this is done and when he may
do so without violation of respon 81
bility to the public welfare, he may
lend himself to the promotion Of par.
ty and individual welfare. We are
quite sure this is the manner of legis-

will prove fatal He is fighting for

fastened their fangs about his body
and crumbled him up in blazing
heap on the ground. $500 volts OF
electricity having passed through his
body. He came within an ace OF

human cinder pile. 1t is marvel
that he lives to tell the tale.
