Secretary of State. McCawley's last
State position was that of State Tax
Commissioner.
McCawley's Wonderful Race
Senator-elect McCawley made his
race in Jasper county for the Demo-
cratic honor he now holds against
what seemed to be insurmountable OBJ
stacles. There was Republican ma
jority of 1,500 to be overcome, and,
worse still, he had as competitor for
mer State Senator Howard Gray, also
a Carthage lawyer, popular inhuen-
tial, versatile and diplomatic, who had
a powerful backing well supplied with
the necessary "long green," all men
who were post masters in political
stratagem. Senator-elect McCawley
quietly united all Democratic factions
. IN that county, enlisted the support Of
independent factions
a independent voters, and that of the
= Republicans in Jasper county who op-
posed Senator Gray, made house-to-
house campaign, working day and
e night to persuade all such electors to
S vote for him, and on election day
e reaped the reward for his herculean
l and almost impossible task by defeat
S ing his eminent adversary by 1900
e a Democratic reversal over the disas-
g trous defeat there in 1920 totaling
!, 5000. Such is the form that Senator
q elect MSCawley displayed as Dem
e. ocratic pace-maker in his own home
n county. This senatorial district, the
r Twenty-eighth, consists only of Jas
ls per county.
