Sen. Will A. Frost. Of Wingo,
was here Saturday looking af.
ter his candidacy for reelection
10 the office of State Senator.
" all reports are true, Senator
Frost is fighting single handed
and alone two powerful money
ed interests of the State known
as the book and whiskey trusts.
This is another proof that he was
bona fide representative of the
people. Any old time the liquor
and trust folks make an attempt
to unseat an official, just put it
down, he has inArferred with
their policy of running State af-
fairs to suit themselves. Ii is a
matter OF record that Sen. Frost
was instrumental in saving the
people of the State large a
mount on school books by certain
legislation, though bitterly fought
by the Interests. What he. a
leader of the local option forces,
did to the whiskey ring is still
fresh in the minds of everyone
who kept up with that notorious
campaign at the capitol. OF
course. the liquor crowds oppos-
ed TO Frost and may be expected
TO try TO knock the filling out OF
him by every dishonorable and
INSCRIPTIONS method available
Then a lot of peanut politicians
went up in the air when Frost
framed and passed an act 10 pre-
vent steals by sheriffs in tax col
leciing. The honest sheriff dOesn
care-the dishonest ones can col
lect only the taxes due. This law
will save the taxpayers thousands
of dollars, and is a good one
These are only a few of the rea
sons why the powers that he vii

Frost. Our good friend jim

ger, knows the half has not beer
