terview With Governor

Governor Hunms dream Of an extra
session OF the Legislature. Is over. Sat
urday night he awoke and announced
that he would not call the members OF
the General Assembly together. This
announcement was made because the
Governor knew that If the members did
meet nothing would be accomplished
j. Edward Addlcks is responsible for
the failure Of the Governor not to cali
the extra session. II was thought that
ha would step out Of the way. and it
was ON this that the Governor was bas-
ing his opinion that an extra session
would be held.
The plan for him TO step out OF the
way at this time was thought out by
Mark Hanna and other members of the
Republican National Committed. They
lnaw that Addlcks was the only OBJ
stacle standing in the way of the two
vacancies being filled. Thinking that
he would be a good enough Republi-
can 20 withdraw for the good OF his
party, the proposition was made to
him. Addicks positively refused to
have anything to do with a scheme
which did not mean his election.
The national committeeman pleaded
with Addicks to get out OF the race this
time and allow two senator's to be
named by the Legislature and also to
assure the election Of Congressman
Ball. His answer was, as It has been
