DOESN'T THINK EXTRA SESSION
WOULD PROVE OF ANY AVAIL

six votes were secured from the OppO-
sition, SO that at the close OF the con-
test. ara on the final ballots. Addicks
had - = otes. or only FIVE short Ca The
numOcr eeded to give him a majority.
OF the six Republican votes thus gain
ed two were given by men who were
elected as anti-Addicxs men. On the
d final ia,lot, however, seven Regulars
refused 10 vote for Addicks. and these
seven. ii is claimed. will adhere To the
determination not to- support him I'M
der any circumstances. On the other
hand Il Is claimed by friends OF Ad-
dicks there has been such a change in
sentiment on The pant Of the people.
and particularly among Regular Repub-
licans. that there Is ground for the
belief that at least four of the seven
who refused TO support Addicks on the
final ballot will be induced to give him
their votes If an extra session OF the
/ Legislature shall be called. and espe-
cially II the president Will give Adj
dicks recognition TO the extent OF ac-
1 cepting his recommendations for ap-
pOintment of men to the Federal Of
fees. Recognition by the president is
the main contention between the fac
ltioDs at this time both recognizing its
Importance and the influence it might
lhave on the issue involved
"The bestowal OF the Federal patron
age. small as it Is. would do much to
strengthen this feeling and to promote
the chances Of the success Of the Union
Republicans at the election Of 1902. II
it should be bestowed upon the anti
! Addicks leaders all possibility of an
lelectiOn Of uwO Republican senators by
the present Legislature. or of any ales-
ltion, would be removed because the
governor, who is a supporter OF Ad-
ldicks, would not convene the Legisia-
lture.
THE recognition OF Addicks by the
president might be followed by an OK
ira session Of the Legislature and The
choice Of two Republican senator's. of
whom, OF course. Mr.. Addicks would ht

THE Regulars urge that i'm IN,

Addicks to the Senate. They insls
that for the president to give any rec
