GOVERNOR BRADLEY TO RESIGN
But He Is stui in the Fight for United
States Senator.

Frankfort, Ky, March 22-Governor
Bradley told two friends in his office
the other day that no matter what was
the result OF the present senatorial
fight he would resign the office of gov
ornor Immediately after the expiration
of the present extra session. He de-
clines to discuss the matter with a re-
porter. but told another friend the
same thing in his office yesterday after
noon. That such is his intention has
been known for several weeks, but
that he did moi want to authorize the
statement as yet is emphasized by his
evident annoyance that what he con-
nded TO friends has become public.
However the few politicians who have
heard the story say that the COVER
nor's intention having become public
now may result in making more prob
able his election over Hunter tomorrow
or Wednesday, They argue that the
chief reason why some gold Demo-
Gratis refuse to go into a coalition to
elect Bradley is that It would fence the
gubernatorial election this fall, which
they have their own reasons for not
wanting done
Prominent politicians from all over
the state are arriving here to take part
In the fight for and against Hunter,
the nominee, and Bradley, who refuses
to be deposed by even the influence Of
The national administration.
