Governor Frazier has some advan-

position. He was a political friend
of the dead statesman and assisted him
materially IN his last race He has
strong following in the legislature

would leave vacant the Governor s
chair, and John /. Cox, present Speaker
of the Senate, would become Governor.
OF course Cox will support him and
the senators who aspire to the senate
