ERNEST CHRIST WILL RUN FOR LEGISLATURE
Announces Candidacy on C. o. P. Ticket for Repre-
 sentative's Nomination

Ernest ". Christ, secretary of the Stanley Works where for many years he has been purchasing agent, today formally announced his candidacy for nomination and election as the repub- lican representative from this city to the state legislature.
 In past years MT. Christ has been very active in public life and despite his partisan affiliations has held the esteem of all factions because of his broad-minded position on public is- sues. He served several terms in the common council and was at one time mayor pro tempore. He was also prominently mentioned as a possible candidate for mayor, but never per mitted his name to be brought before the electorate in that capacity.
 Several weeks ago, when urged by friends to run for the legislature. Mir Christ declined because of his official duties at the Stanley Works. Be- cause of the coal strike and the threatened railroad tie-up, he did not feel he could spare the time; but now that these problems have been adjust ed he has seen his way clear to be- come a candidate.
