To Succeed Pugh.

Montgomery, Ala, December S7.-(Spec all
Talk is rife again about Secretary Herbert
being a prospective candidate to succeed
Senator Pugh IN the United States senate.
Governor Oates, Colonel H. G. Tompkins,
Senator Pugh and Congressman Clark have
already seiui-efhcially announced their can
didacy for the honor and during the en-
suing year very lively contest for tho
high seat promises to be waged. a strong
effort is being made TO have Mr.. Clark
withdraw from the senatorial race and be-
come a candidate for governor. Many be-
lieve he Will accede 10 the demand and the
administration papers are trying hard to
work up a boom to This end. The congress
man has stood pat this far, however, and It
is believed that there are about four
months to intervene between this and the
convention. Mr.. Clark will decline to
abandon his senatorial aspirations to make
the race for governor.
