'esup. Ca, April Especial )-Develop-
iiehtS OF the past week Indicate beyond a
doubt Ahat duBignon is no longer a prob
'olllty as a candidate for the senate, and
''ial congressman Henry c. Turner is
squarely IN the race, not only for congress,
put Tor the long senatorial term.
IL VIII be remembered that after the much
talked OF ThomaSVille conference, when
Congressman Turner was formally an
hounced by a gathering of his friends from
several counties for the senate, duBgnon' S
trlenGs were very wrathy, and Mr.. du-
bignon was decidedly outspoken in his
denunciation of what he considered to be d
quiet effort of Mr.. Turner's friends to side
track him. duBignon had figured conspicu-
ously as senatorial candidate long before
lhe talk OF Turner's making the race began,
ana naturally counted upon strong sup
port from the counties along the Savannah
Florida and Western railroad, of which he
is general counsel, and the representatives
OF which counties would naturally be in
cHned to HIM as south Georgia man.
dubignon had in this manner established
h;onslderable strength along this tier OF
'ountles, and could certainly have relied
2 Ictive support in the first, secont and
"th congressional districts, had not
ON been suddenly eclipsed by the
= movement, which was skilfuliy
ed to make its formal appearance

newly born boom, and he even went
as To state to some of his friends in
lection that, while the candldacy OF
er might interfere with his own sena-
III prospects, he would see to it that the
rilice should not be turned to Turner's
efit--in other words that he would be on
when the legislature met, fully pre-
H. I'd to string his Wampum and perform
FNar dance around the Turner boom.
The truth of the matter is, all OF Mr.
friends in this section realize
the fact that he has been treated very
Ioadly by Mr.. Turner's friends, VINO mani
. 'ested no consideration for the splendid
trength he had already gained as a sena-
or1aI candidate of several months standing.

FYou may depend upon it, said he that
lirner not only will be, but is already in
