Former Governor Frank r. Gooding
arrived in Wallace Monday evening
and spent Tuesday here, interviewing
number of prominent business men
with relation to his candidacy for the
United States senate. He makes no
secret of the fact that this is the OBJ

of the state and says he is in the race
to stay.
While in Wallace Mr. Gooding met
many personal friends who gave him
encouragement in his aspirations. He
is kindly recalled for his acts of i'm
partiality while governor for it is con-

national republican convention that

the same, except that up here mining
