Duty to Floral Parade.
Chillingworth or Senator Cecil
Brown both have been regarded as
very likely candidates for Oahu to pit
against knudsen. However, Senator
Chillingworth this morning said frank,
ly that he does not feel that he can
do Justice 10 the floral parade, OF
which he is the director-general, if he
has to organize his forces for a fight
for the leadership Of the senate.
My first duty. feel, is to the floral
parade, and If I can carry that through
10 a success, ! shall feel recompensed
for not being able to go into a fight
for the presidency of the senate" he
said. Il regard the presidency of the
senate now as did two years ago, an
honor and a dignity that should not
be scrambled for, and for these rea,
sons l am not an active candidate fol
the position. During the first few
days of the legislature / shall be busy
with floral parade matters and If Sen,
ator Knudsen is elected, there win be
no split of Republicans in the upper
house on my account, you can bank on
that"
One of the Democratic leaders said
yesterday that Chillingworth could get
the three Democratic votes of Oahu,
he felt sure. 1t is possible that fight
on Knudsen will develop anyway, and
Senator Cecil Brown IS talked OF as a
possible choice. The Democrats make
no secret of the fact that they want
some places on important committees,
the story going out from a recent
Democratic caucus that Senator Wirtz
would like to be on the public lands
committee, MetZger on the health com.
mittee, and Jim Coke on the judiciary
committee. ..-E
