INTERNATIONAL CAMPAIGN
T0BE SET FOR JUNE

Attorney General Terrell will make his
announcement for governor before he re-
signs as attorney general. Following his
announcement will come his resignation.
This was learned at the capitol Tuesday
morning. Since this question has been de-
termined there is a great deal of specula-
ton as to when the announcement is go
ing to come. The executive committee
meeting generally determines the result
of a gubernatorial campaign. as the lead
ers from the different districts are lined
up one way or the other. Chairman du-
Bignon, of the committee, was here sever
al days ago, and at that time he an
nounced that the meeting would be called
for next month, and that in his opinion
the primary would be ordered for some
time in June.
The holding of the primary in June
would, of course, give the candidates
about five months in which to do their
campaigning.
