THE FRAZIER STRENGTH.

In striking contrast to all this is the
situation among the Frazier supporters.
Having just completed most success
ful administration as Governor, the
victory of recent brilliant campaign,
supported by all the power and patron
age of the State administration, the
Democratic organization and practi-
cally all the active leaders OF both
Senate and House. Gov. Frazier S
position Is well nigh impregnable.
Added to this IS his personal popularity
which was demonstrated at the polls
last November when he led the Ma
tional ticket by substantial vote.
Again Gov. FraZiers political career,
while brief, has been succession OF
singal tIiumphs. Less than five years
ago he was chosen Democratic elector
for the State-at large. making his fist
canvass of the entife State In all official
capacity. So strongly did he impress
his personality upon the people that
two years later he was nominated for
Governor without the semblance of
opposition Last year there was rot a
Dissenting voice raised against his ie-
nomination. His election by the
largest majority given candidate tor
Governor in Presidential year in
thirty years added materially to his
strength. Nothing succeeds like sue
cess. Especially is this, true of poll

Friends of Gov. McMiIlin and
Gov. Taylor Inclined to Ad-
wise Them to Stay Out of

ernOr.

AS seon as the members OF the Senate
and House had recovered from the first
shock occasioned by the sudden intelli
gence of the death of Senator Bate on
Thursday morning they began to
gather in little groups to discuss at
first In an underlone and then more
freely, the probable political result.
the death occurring during the session
of the General Assembly makes it the
duty of that body to elect successor
fol- the unexpired term, which in this
case means practi cally the full term.
Hut three men were discussed in con-
nection with the SenatoTship. They
have each served their Stlte as Cover
nor. Frazer, McMIllin ana Taylor
were the n tines under discussion from
the time OF the first receipt of the news
of Senator B ties death until late
hour Thursday night.
While there are many who predict
that the three candidates mentioned
will each strive for the coveted goal,
the more conservative members ale
inclined to the opinion that when the
cat Gu ASSEMBLIES to nominate Sena
Il r, there will be but one candidate
Gov. James B. Frazer. A thorough
can lass of the situation leaves but
hutie doubt that Gov. Frazier will be
the preference OF the Legislature.
There are large NUMBER of MEM
bers of the Legislature who express
the opinion that the friends of other |
asplIants will early recognize the
strong tide that has set in for Frazier,
ana will advise that there De no effort
to contest the coveted place with HIM.
Personal an political friends of for
Mef Gov McMillin openly stated
Thursday night that they would advise
him to keep out uf the race. The same
Is true of a number Of Democrats who
have in the past been supporter of
Bob Taylor.
Of course 1t is poss BILE that certain
com binations between various interests
might he effected, and certain Align
nents brought about that would add
elements of doubt to the final result
that do not now exist, but such con-
tingencles are considered very remote.
After Gov. McMillln withdrawal
from the Senatorial race last August
his organization faily went TO
pieces" and many OF his friends
formed other political alignments.
Bob Taylor has practically had no
since the retired from tt
Office of Governor six years ago. Then
be never was an organizer; he has
always lacked the ability to effectively
iganize his supporters. Fol all pIac-
tical purposes he has been out of poll
tics tor six years, and while it is true
that he has scattering support
among the members, without leader
they would be practically impotent to
accomplish results.
