Gated, and the fight will prove a walkover for
no one. The law directs that the legislature
shall begin balloting the second Tuesday after
! the receipt of q Senator's resignation. The gen.
tlemen whose names are most prominently
/ mentioned are Gov. Brown, Mr.. McCreary and
Mr.. Lindsay. Should Gov. Brown be elected
Lieut.. Gov. Afford will occupy the guberna-
torial chair. while Temporary Chairman Smith
OF Larue county would take Mr.. Affords seat,
causing another vacancy in the temporary
craftsmanship. So many interests would be
conserved by Gov. Browns selection that he
has. consequently, strong support. If ex-
Gov. Buckner and ex-Gov. Knott enter the
race additional complications arise. IL is diff
cult to estimate what the respective strength of
the candidates is until after the first few pre-
liminary ballots. There may be a deadlock,
and the candidates with the strongest backing
are not necessarily winners"
