Mr. Watkins has been connected with public mat

ecutve ability and if elected to this office will render
valuable service to his district and the state He is
at present member of the State Highway Commission
filling the caused by the resignation of Capt w.
l. Pate. This is the first office that Mr.. Watkins has
ever offered himself for although solicited at various
times for different Offices, and it is an Office which on
