TWO SENATOR'S
ATSTAKE EINf|CAT
IN This STATE
Democrats Should Vote for
Legislative Candidates to
Aid Gov. Wilson.

The way the balloting goes in this
state, Tuesday, and perhaps in this
individual senatorial district, may
determine whether the Democrats or
Republicans will control the aext
United States Senate and whether
or not the promised bills to reduce
the tariff and high cost of living are
passed by the Democrats or legisIa-
ton is at stand still if the Repp bl-
cans retain control Of the Senate and
the Democrats the House.
There are two senatorial vacancies
in this state that will be filled by the
next legislature. One man will be
chosen to succeed Senator Cullom and
the other to fill the Lcrimer vacancy.
The control Of the next legislature
is the biggest plum either party can
get in this state, even more impor-
tant than the election of governor,
for it carries with it the selection
of the senators,
In this district the senatorial COM
mittee wisely nominated two candi-
dates for representatives., Attorney
George w. Crawford, of Anna, and
Editor James #. Felts, of Marion,
and two are to be elected. The DEM
ocratic candidate for state senator Is
DR.. d. r. Woodard of Benton, who
was here yesterday in the interest of
his candidacy and received many
promises Of support from Republi-
cans.
DR.. Woodard's opponent, Senator
w. o. Potter Republican, is con-
demned by the Legislative Voters
League and the Civil Service League.
DR.. Woodard charges that Potter ad-
mits four years ago he had the en-
dorsements of botAt the Personal Lib
erty League and the Anti-Saloon
League and that he rever voted but
once, that time being dry"
Dr. Woodard further charges
Senator Potter ith being wet" In
the southern part of the district and
dry" In the northern counties,
where the anti-salooa interests pre-
dominate.
There has been talk of some Cairo
Democrats voting one and half for
Crawford and the same number for
Curren, Republican. The senatorial
committee urges Democrats TO vote
for Woodland for the senate and
Crawford and Felts for the House,
giving each Of the latter vote and
a half apiece. If they oppose Felts
