Assembly
SENATE LEAD IN DOUBT

There is indication that the next
Z House of Representatives will be dry.
A good proportion OF the legislative
nominees have pledged themselves to
support the Prohibition amendment
Many of these have been indorsed by
the Dry Federation.
+ Although a large number are nom
conimittal on the subject they assert
tney will faithfully carry out the wishes
g OF their constituents
In the Senate eighteen of the nominees
( are registered as dry candidates, while
twenty-four have expressed themselves
as being non-Commttal and the re-
mninder favors a wet platform.
Prominent Prohihitionists are much
encouraged by the size Of the dry force
IN the legislature and believe that the
country's present crisis and the great
reed of economy will influence most Of
the candidates to support the Prohibition
amendment II elected.
OF the nominees for the Senate only
nve have come out fatty favoring a wet
+ policy. They are Senator Samuel w.
Salus, Ware leader of the Fourth Ward
w. J. McNichol, Third Senatorial Dis
4 trict: James s. Boyd. OF the Twelfth Dis
I trict; Robert D. Heaton, Of the Potts
Vile district, who won nominations On
& both Democratic and Republican parties
! M. q. Leslie, Republican of the Thirty
eighth Senatorial District. and J. NJ
Campbell, of the Crawford-MerCer Dis
trict
The results show that the voters gave
more attention to the legislative ticket
than at previous primaries. In most
cases tie vote was close and there were
very few walkcvers.
