LOOKS LIKE CAMPBELL


Dallas. Aug IA Thc situation
has resolved Itself into fierce and
somewhat cubittered struggle be.
tween Bell and Coiquitt to lead the
forloru hope against Campbell on the
last ballot.
The logic OF the issues takes the
greater part OF the Brooks vote to
Bell. To go to Colquitt is like mix
ing nti-prohibition oil with prohibit
tion water. To go 10 Campbell is like
harmonizing extremes. But that an
alyzation might upset the logic And
1t has
Judge Bells friends still think they
viii have the better of the Brooks
vote, and up to this moment probably
they have But there Is a big Col
quit force among the Brooks lead
ers and a considerable following
among them is inclined to Colquitt;
the political element has affiliations
with Colquitt leaders The prohi-
bitionist element is, of course, anti
Colquitt but not necessarily anti
Campbell. In fact it appears that
Colquitt and Campbell have both out
generated Bell in the Brooks vote.
Naturally Bell should get two-thirds
of 1t. Instead he can hardly get
half, and if Colquitt keeps up his
aggressive fight. Bell may secure less
than a third of it.
The Brooks leaders are divided.
Brooks himself is credited with favor
ing Bell, though he has given no pub
lie expression. Judge Finley is silent
his friends are Campbell's friends.
Several of the black land Brooks
leaders are for Colquitt. Most of his
dropped vote from the Southwest will
go to Colquitt. Culberson will act
with Dallas friends in making Col
quit second choice: Ben Cabeil will
go to Campbell The lesser Brooks
leaders here and there incline to
Bell.
Senator Bailey has expressed no
second choice, claims and reports to
the contrary Notwithstanding. He is
for Brooks and will say nothing more
and do nothing more until Brooks
is out
Meanwhile. T. n. Jones, the strate-
gist of the Campbell forces, conf
IDENTIFY claims that at least seventy
of the Brooks votes are represented
by Campbell men. He talks like a
man who has verified his accounts
with an adding machine. 1t may be
remarked also that he counts on
nearly seventy second choice votes
from Bell and about as many from
Golquitt.
