janitorial complication is more inter-
s,tinr tonight than 1t has bean at any
limo heretofore, Matters are gradually
.baping themselves and the situation is
working itself out, The candidates for
tbe Kenna succession are all in the
ae}d and most oithem areon the ground.
The relative strength of Camden and
Faulkner remains about the same, with
the field opon to each, atEording plenty
oiroom for possible combinations.
Both Mr.. Camden and Mr.. Faulkner
declare that they aro making no deals
with the candidates for the short term,
INIT do not know what their friends are
doing on their own responsibility.
Roth gentlemen claim that their fol.
lowings are firm and will not be affect
ed by any arrangements which are
made with other candidates by either
FOR TIE SHORT TERM.
Those in the field for Mr.. Kenna's un-
expired term are Hon. Joseph Chiffon,
Ex-Governor Wilson, Hon. Charles W,
Brcckunier, Judge o. P. Snyder and
Hon john j. Davis, while Gen. ]. W.
st. Clair and Hon. w, l. Wilson are
possibilities.
General st. Clair has said that his
name will not be presented. A friend
Of Mr. Wilson's, who will not permit
his name TO be mentioned, told me this
WGning:
"Mr Wilson said while here Yester-
day, that he would not allow his name
10 be used in the interest OF any other
man, or to effect the candidacy of any
person in any way. You will note that
Mr. Wilson, in his published interview,
il careful not to say that he would
decline tho honor il rendered him. He
undoubtedly expects his name to be
used, and ii the caucus nomination
seems to come his way, will do nothing
10 stop 1t. You need not be surprised
to hear him formally announced before
the week is half over"
WILL llURT FAVLkNEh
TheoAect Of this, OF course. would be
todamage Mr.. Faulkner's strength ma
Anally, for the legislature will not I'LL
both positions from the same section.
While Faulkner's friends are doing
their best to down tho Wilson boom, ii
Il undoubtedly growing. 1t is needless
70 say that tho Camden people are not
ObstruCting it.
Mr. Wiaon's strength is chiefly with
the element that is opposed to Camden
and within the Faulkner ranks, and the
effect OF his candidacy might kill Faulk-
netof. There are old-time Camden men
who are supporting Faulkner, and
plenty Of them who pledged themselves
10 the senator before they knew their
old leader would be candidate, or who
believe that Mr.. Faulkner is entitled to
reelection. Those men would be only
TOO glad, it is thought, to be released
from these obligations. Should Mr..
Wilson's candidacy for the short term,
therefore, result in making Mr.. Faulk-
HsFs chances for the long term hope
ltss, they would feel at liberty to go to
vi. Camden.
Some Of these men would be glad II
the whole matter could ne arranged 90
that Faulkner aud Camden could divide
the honors between them, but this Is
out Of the question for two reasons.
First, Faulkner has friends
IN TIE OLD ANrrcAMDES ELEMENT
who would never consent to such a
compromise They are as bitterly OPP
posedto Mr.. Camden as ever, and de-
clare with as much warmth as ever that
bis election would disrupt the Demo-
fratic party. They even 90 so far as to
iy his 4 iction would be equivalent to
@o elect IN Of Republican.
Inc other reason Is that Mr.. Camden
aln'elt would probably decline to ac-
Eept tho the unexpired term. He has
entered the field for Mr.. Faulkner's
pace annd is not a candidate for any
Sher erposition. Thecombination which
hnost discussed IN the RuGfner lobby
