STANDS PAT FOR DU BIGNON.
SENATOR CLAY Will. SUPPORT HIM
HEART AND SOUL.

His Statement Made at Atlanta Puts
to Rest Opinions to the Contrary.
saws He VIII stand by duBignOn
in Every Way, Because of MIR. du-
Bignon's Honesty, Competency ana
HIS LOYALTY TO Him in His Race
For the Senate-DOes Not Know
That Mr.. duBignOn is a Candidate
or Not.
Atlanta, Ga, Nov. Senator Steve Clay
was a conspicuous figure in the crowd Of
legislators and politicians at the Kimball
house to-inght. In talking about the gu
bernatorial prospects next year Senator
Clay said: Il am trying TO avoid discuss
ing that matter for while yet, but If
you ask me the direct question 1 do not
hesitate to say that 1 am heart and soul
for Mr.. duBignou. If he is a candidate l
am for him. because he is competent and
honest. and would make a good governor
and because he is my loyal friend. He has
never said to me that he expected to be
come a candidate and I do not know what
his intentions are. 1t seems to me he IS
paying much less attention to it just now
than any one else. If 1 was candidate
for governor or intended to become one,
1 would not hesitate to declare it to the
people and TO go upon every stump in the
state, and say it to them that did not
propose to leave it to any three or four
or half dozen men to say whether l should
run or not
After this significant deliveranee Sena-
tor Clay said, in reply to another question;
Eyes, sir, if Mr.. duBignOn is candidate
for governor l Will take the stump for
him in every county in the state if l can
find the opportunity. l could not think OF
doing less after the way he stood by me
in my race for the Senate
This sets at rest the report that has been
going around recently TO the effect that
Senator Clay would not. at least take an
active part in the coming campaign in be-
half of Mr. duBignon
