John H. Pearson is here to turn over
his office as railway commissioner to
Otho Wilson, he says. He evidently
does not really think the legislature will
adopt the report of its committee in
favor of j. w. and Otho Wilson. Some
prominent members of the Legislature
say the report will be adopted 40 to 1.
One of the leading democratic men,
bers said tonight it would certainly be
adopted as to j. w. Wilson, but that
Otho Wilson might be left to test his
right in the courts.
