Uhl for the Legislature.
Up In Smith county County Attor-
ney l. c. Uhl, jr., is a candidate for
the state legislature against F. E.
Lumpkin. who served in the house
: during the 1918 session. Uni is one
Of the strongest and most widely
known of the young lawyers in the
} Sixth district and has made an excel
lent record In the county prosecutors
; office. Both Uhl and Lumpkin are
Democrats At this time more lawyer
J candidates have entered the Legislative
fights in the state than at any time In
several years. The advent OF more
lawyers in the law making game will
s probably be viewed with considerable
relief by the men and women who
have sat through the legislative SEES
sions of former years and watched the
workings of legislative members who
were hopelessiy lost in the tangled
web Of legislative enactments.
