McCreary Likely Will Not Run

The following is from the Political
Page of the Louisville Times and our
readers can take it for what it is worth:
"A number of Frankfort politicians
who have been in Louisville this week
expressed themselves as of the opinion
that Gov. McCreary would decline the
issue and stay out Of the race for U. s.
Senator. They say that everything was
ribbed up for the Governor to toss his
hat in the ring. but that certain devel-
opments have come about that make it
extremely unlikely that he will become
a candidate for the toga. On the other
hand there are those who insist that he
is already in the race for Senator and is
reserving his official announcement to
suit his own good time"
