This decision will set at rest many minds who had been fearful that he would not again spend the time away from his business to represent the county at Salem. Farmers and other business men have - been asking Mr. Hunter to run again for th past month, but not until yesterday did he finally consent to make the race. After serving in the lower houi for two terms Mr. Hunter's record stands as his campaign platform.
