very doubtful whether he will per-
NIT his name to go upon the ballot.
In the event he refuses to be
pressed into service" the republi-
cans will have to do some lively
skirmishing in order to find strong
man for that place.
1t is generally conceded that f.
M. Pugmire will be the democratic
candidate for senator, and that the
paramount issue" with him in the
campaign will be the repeal of the
public utilities law.
There seems to be a dearth of
candidates for the lower house in
both the republican and democratic
camps. However, in the event tnat
j. R. Shepherd does not take the
nomination for senator, it isl
limited that his son. Russell,
president of the Paris bank, might
be induced to run for representa-
tive. Arthur Bulge has also been
mentioned as likely candidate for
the lower house. Fred G. Evans
could undoubtedly have the nomina-
ton again if he desired it, but we
have been indirectly informed that
he is out of politics. While Mont
pelier is entitled to place on the
Legislative ticket, there seems to be
no republicans hankering after that
Office.
There is no question but what we
would have better laws and that
there would be general saving in
legislative expenses, as well as in APP
preparations, if more members of
the legislature were returned for
two or three terms, but one term
seems to be enough for the average
member, for they find that the
honor of being a member of the
legislature doesn't offset what il
costs a member, above the pay ht
gets. At least that is the way G. e
Wright feels about it, and he ha
decided that one term is enough fol
