SOME REPUBLICAN WINNERS

The best news that The Enterprise
has to impart this week is that c. s..
Culp has consented to be the G. o. p.
banner bearer in this senatorial district
and that Alex Yant, in response to the
earnest solicitation of his friends, has
reconsidered his determination to retire
from public life at the expiration of his
present term as sheriff and has consent
ed to make the race if given the NOM
ination on the Republican ticket.
Mr.. Culp is known thruout the state
as an aggressive, straightforward and
intelligent man. He knows the needs
of the Arkansas Valley better than
most of our people and he has the abil-
ity to frame measures to the advantage
of his constituents and the stamina to
secure their enactment. We are indeed
fortunate in securing Mr.. Culp's con-
sent to stand for state senator.
As Sheriff Yant has "made good" in
his official position to such an extent
that he has received the appreciation of
all law-abiding people of the county ir-
respective Of political affiliatiop, his
consent to make the race is tantamount
to his nomination-and his election is
assured if he makes the race.
