ton for state senator IN this dis
irict. composed of Lincoln. Boyle,
Casey and Garrnrd counties, seems
likelv TO precipitate a pretty fight
for the honor of filling the seat held
for the past eight years by Senator
X. l.. Hubble, of Lincoln county.
Senator Hubble has announced that
he will not be candidate, as he is
not an advocate of the Third term
policy recently championed 50 uu-
successfully by Col. Roosevelt. How
ever. he had many flattering offers
of support. in the event he wished
10 run again.
In the usual plan of rotation of
counties which has prevailed IN this
district. II has been Boyle's turn TO
follow Lincoln with the senatorship.
and casey TO follow BOYLE. lnasmucb
As Senator Hubble broke all prece-
dents and served two terms III the
senate, Garrnrd democrats are
claiming that BOYLE has forfeited her
right To the term following Lincoln
and that inasmnch as Casey dem
ocratic leaders say they will likeh
have no candidate. II il claimed that
II II Garra-d turn next year. Lead
ing Garrard democrats said Monday
that Boyle had lost her chance when
she permitted Senator Hubble to
have two terms instead of the usual
single term. and that with Casey Of
fering no candidate. Garrard Is next
IN line and will have a candidate.
