Raleigh, n. c.. July i7.-About the
latest and most discussed political
delevopment here is what is believed
to be strong indication that the CUB
ernatorial contest for the nomination
in 1912 is being drawn into the sena-
torial fight. in SO far as the contest
between Senator Simmons and Gov
ernor Kitchin is concerned, and that
there may yet be a third candidate
for Governor in the Neld-one to rep
resent the kitchin element OF the
party. Ever since the Charlotte con-
vention. in which kitchin won the
nomination for Governor over Locke
Craig, there have been many who in
sist that the 1912 nomination for
Governor is due Mr.. Craig. and that
there really IS party obiigat ton.
growing out Of that contest to give
him the next nomination. For several
months w. c. Newland. president OF
the Senate and Lieutenant-Governor,
has been an avowed candidate for
Governor. Neither OF them have spe-
cial political alliance with Governor
kitchin, and Mr.. Craig and Senator
Simmons have been closely allied.
Is drawing up SO sharply between Sem
ator Simmons and Governor Kitchin,
to disposition on the part OF some
OF Kitchin's friends to agitate the
question of making tight on tho
nomination of Mr.. Craig Test his in
fuence, made more powerful by the
nomination for Governor, be used in
tho senatorial campaign between the
July convention and the vote in the
senatorial primary in the fall, for the
furtherance of Simmons's interest.
Friend of Mr.. Craig area insisting
that Mr.. Craig will steer clear of the
senatorial fight entirely. and that the
alarm on the part OF the friends of
Governor kitchin are groundless.
Whether this insistance can keep off
the precipitation of mix-up of the
senatorial and the gubernatorial con-
tests as indicated remains TO be seen
Also there is a possibility that the
part that Ex-Governor Aycock and
Chief Justice Walter Clark play as
the other candidates in the senate
rial fight may effect very largely the
possibility of there being another can
didate for Governor in the field.
This talk is involving again c. W.
Tillett as the possible third candi-
date for Governor to represent the
Kitchin wing. Mr.. Tillett has not
publicly receded from his public init
nation some time ago that he would
not be candidate for Governor.
