CONTEST IS
WITHDRAWN
Leaving Mr.. J. Will Clay
Nominee for State
Senator
Opposition In November Believed
to Be Very Improbable.

AS predicted in our last issue
Hon. Rufus MADDEN filed contest
against Hon. j. Will CLAY, late
last Wednesday, and asked that he
be declared the nominee for State
Senator in this district. After
thinking over the matter until
Thursday morning, however, he
concluded to withdraw the con-
test, which he then did, leaving
Mr.. Clay clear title to the nomi-
nation. This obviated a long hard
fought legal battle. with much
cost. and in view of the fact that
success was regarded as unlikely,
his determination to throw up
the sponge" is generally regarded
as wise one.
Mr.. Clay, our next Senator, is
well-known to our readers and
having served two terms as a
member of the Legislature from
this district, and being a man of
wide experience and diversified
business interests, is admirably
equipped to dicharge the duties
of his new position.
