WORKS MAY TRY
FOR FLINT'S TOGA
Jurist's Name Mentioned as a
Possible Candidate of Linz
cOln=ROOseveIt League
Completion of State Ticket by
Executive Committee To-
day Is Improbable

The completion of a state ticket by
the executive committee of the Lincoln
Roosevelt league at its session today is
improbable. If the Los Angeles
leaguers have solved the senatorial
candidate problem they have not noti-
fed their northern colleagues, and vir-
tuaHy no progress has been made with
reference TO several other places on
The leagues ticket.
Vice President William r. Davis and
Secretary Charles r. Derrick said last
night that they had received no word
from Los Angeles touching either the
selection Of q candidate for the United
states senate or for associate justice
Of the supreme court Neither were
they in a position to announce that the
Los Angeles Ieaguers would attend to-
days meeting.
Some OF the northern leaguers are of
the opinion that Judge John D. Works
may consent TO make the race for the
United States senate vice Lee c. Gates,
who declined the leagues invitation 10
go after Flnts seat. If Works would
consent TO run for the United States
senate the league would be relieved Of
the embarra ssment which has grown
out Of the Los Angeles demand for a
place on the supreme bench.
WILBUR WANTS PROMOTION
Superior Judge C. D. Wilbur wants
promotion to the supreme bench. Want
ing promotion. he has been hustling
for ii and for the leagues indorse-
ment. He had got along to the point
where his name was up for preSenta-
tion TO the state executive committee
with that Of Justice Sloss, when il oc-
Cured to Marshall Stimson and Z. A.
Dickson that Judge Works had not for
many relinquished his claim TO the
leagues consideration Of lis ambition
10 return 10 the supreme Sench. Sloss
was indorsed. Wilbur was not
Wilbur has exhibited no signs of dis
may or discoura cement. He has kept
plugging away for support and for the
leagues Endorsement At the Johnson
meeting in Los Angeles a week ago
Wilbur boosters in the big audience
forced the presiding officer to introduce
Wilbur instead of declaring the meet
ing adjourned In fine, there is a
WOrks-W Wilbur situation. If Works in
sists upon receiving the leagues in
dorsement for the supreme bench 1t is
generally admitted by the leaguers that
they can not refuse him
such a contingency promises some
thing more than mild disappointment
for Wilbur and his friends. 1t might
result I'm driving some of Wilbur s
friends away from the leagues ticket.
Disappointment has been known to
produce that kind OF result Witness
Charles NJ. Belshaw and his friends.
Sheriff Neale and John Birmingham.
Belshaw says he can not vote for John
son because JohnsOn's friends did not
treat Belshaw fairly IN the matter of
selecting candidate for governor.
Nesle and Birmingham are in sim
ilar frame OF mind, but are doing more
than Belshaw TO emphasize their dis
appointment. They Topped from the
Johnson camp into the Curry army and
again out OF the secretary Of states
bivouac into that of Alden Anderson.
