Two of the six senatorial candi- dates are advocating repeal of all liquor laws, two have pledged sup- port to a referendum on the is- sue, and two have announced ad- herence to the laws as enacted. W. L. Walls, Cheyenne attorney, seeking the Republican nomination, and Fred W. Johnson, of Rock Springs, a Demoeratic aspirant, ad- vocate repeal. H. H. Schwartz, of Casper, the other Democdratic candidate, and Robert D. Carey, former Governor and one of four Republican candi- dates, will support legislation for a referendum if elected. W. C. Deming of Cheyenne and Charles E. Winter of Casper are dry Republican candidates. Nomination by the Republican party normally is tantamount to election. It is the first time in al- most 37 years there has been a contest for the Republican senator- ial nomination. Legally there will be two senator- ial nominations at the primary, as all candidates are running for both the short and long terms. The short one is the unexpired term of the late Sen. Francis E. Warren. The Democrats are expected to concentrate on the campaign for Governor. Leslie A. Miller is that party’s candidate. Gov. Frank C. Emerson and W. H.
