to succeed his father. "He would
have run last time said this au-

is done be. viii take no steps toward
ordering q special election in the
Ninth district for the purpose of NIL
ing the vacancy. Any clerk OF any
county in the district can officially

sion In the matter and make known
its wishes to the governor. He will
also hear from the management of
the Republicans before he takes ac-
