Budget of News Gathered Here and
There of Neighborhood Interest

forward to the coming political cam
paign with considerable interest in re-
gard to prospective candidates for var
ious offices. Austin ID. Smith a local
constable and son of Representative
Wesley D. Smith, of Kenton Hundred
is being mentioned for the Democratic
nomination for, sheriff of Kent county.
The incumbent of this office at present
is Edgar w. Frazier, a Republican
and the Democratic leaders Of this
section claim the next Democratic
candidate to be nominated should
come from this district on account Of
it being a Democratic stronghold.
William Hutchison a we'll known
farmer is being groomed for the nom
ination Of State Senator from the
Third Senatorial District to succeed
Senator John WI. Attix of Kenton.
Hutchison is a strong supporter Of
the improved road program in this
section and his friends are urging his
candidacy in this behalf. John J.Sev-
erson also a Democrat is being men
toned az a possible candidate for
Representative in the General Assem-
bly, from this district. Walter R.
Keys, who was a delegate to the last
Democratic National Convention held
in New York city and who was one Of
the outstanding supporters of the late
Willard Salisbury for Presidential
nominee is again mentioned for dele
gaet from Kent county to the next
convention to be held in Houston, Tex
as. Most Democrats here seem to
favor Governor AL. Smith as their
choice for Presidential nominee hon
ors, while some seem to favor U s.
Senator Reed Of Montana as their
choice on account of his past record
being in favor of aid and relief for
agricultural interests, also many vet
Grams of the world war favor the lat
ter due to his stand in supporting the
soldiers bonus legislation. There
seems to be no opposition to the can
didacy Of Senator Thomas F. Bayard
TO be re-nominated. Members Of his
party claim he should succeed himself
largely On account Of him ranking on
many important committees II the
Senate that are of vast Importance to
the nation and State.
