In the caucus OF democratic senators
after the committees had been reported,
Senator Keezsll called attention TO q
report persisieDtly circulated to the ef-
feet that those who had supported Mr..
Montague for governor would be dis
eliminated against. This called for q
very warm reply from Chairman Nell
waine, who said Mr.. Montague's name
had not been mentioned; that there had
been no disposition to make up the
ommittees so as to embsrrsss him 10
his administration, but that the usual
custom had been followed. O.her MEM
bers of the steering committee confirm
ed MIR. McIlwaine's statement and Mr..
Keezell said he was glad to learn that
the report was unfounded. This end
cd the incident, but the same thing Ii
like to crop out again.
