; control of the convention. The opposi-
ton has been able to combine on Short
for chairman OF the convention and
there will be a clean-cut test Of strength
between the followers Of Burns and
what is not known as the "anti-bcss
element" contest for the governorship
All other offices have teen subordinat-

OARS. The situation in q nutshell is
this:
, II Knight is selected chairman, Estee
will be nominated for governor; if Short
is successful, 1t means Estee will be
, beaten in ali probability.

head of the ticket, but it is not probable.
II Short wins, it is any body's fight.
EVERYTHING READY.
There is no change in the iudgeship.
, The fight is on and all other Candidates
