Aszemblyman Arnold has been credited with being
the Morton candidate for Speaker. but his talk does
not indicate it, He said yesterday that he had not
yet had enough Communication with the members
of the Assembly to be able to express definite
opinion as to the drift Of sentiment. he said: "In
nv immediate vicinity there Is quite sentiment
Sor Mr. Miller growing out OF his fight for the Oleo-
margarine bill 1t made him quite strong Win me
country people and his friends are making the most
OF IL II does appear TO me that the contest has
vet sufficiently crystallized to permit one to form
a definite opinion"
Assemblyman Hogeboom expressed himself on tne
senatorship with an air Of Indifference. He said
that he thought the contest was an open one
at the present time with the chances somewhat In
favor Of Mr.. Morton. In conversation with him
The name Of Senator Hoy sradt OF his district was
mentioned when he said: senator Hoysradt Is
nigh minded man who always forms his own opin-
ions after careful investigation and never expresses
hem until his official position requires their decata
ton he has said word 70 me or 10 MIN
