this attack. however, and appear to be
little disturbed.
Both men are we'll known and each
has a strong and most loyal follow
ing, very much in evidence as the
fight progresses.
Rumors come from both sides to
the effect that the opposing candi-
date will retire before the balloting
takes place tomorrow, but each man
vehemently denies any intention of
quitting before the race is finished,
and the impression is that neither
will
Senator Anderson held a caucus Of
his supporters in the Kimball House
last night, at which the famous
twenty eight" ne says he has on his
list" were expected to be on hand
Only fifteen showed up for the con-
ference. but it was explained that
those not on hand had sent notices
of their unwavering support, never
theless.
Judge Allen has called no formal
conference of his supporters, but they
dropped into his headquarters, one by
one, all during the day, and he eX-
pressed himself as entirely satisfied
with the situation.
Deadlock Possibility Discussed.
Occasionally one hears the posi-
bility of a deadlock discussed, and
the opinion advanced that neither Al
len nor Anderson will win the race
eventually. This idea is not general
~ entertained, however, although
there does appear to be rather a pref
ty chance for a deadlock to occur.
In that event the next President OF
the Senate might be Judge Sweat,
Senator Tyson or some Senator not
vet figuring in the problem in any
manner.
Discussing the race to-day. Senator
Anderson said: Il have it won; that's
settled Judge Allen never can get
my Senators away from me-they Will
stick and | have more than l need
Judge Allen said: Il not only have
had the race won all along, but since
the game opened in Atlanta several
Senators nave changed and have vol
unfairly assured me of their support.
/ suppose. of course, that Senator
Anderson thinks he has the strength
he claims, but he has not-he can not
have My votes are pledged to me
unqualifiedly."
In these circumstances there is
nothing to it but for the innocent by
stander TO pick his favOrite, if he has
one, and let it go at that.
Much Legislation Framed.
Outside the speakership race, which
| seems all over but the shouting, and
| the presidency Of the Senate race, one
hears little else discussed in the Kim
! ball House lobby. where, as of yore,
/ the politicians and statesmen, real
and near, most do congregate in the
Capital City.
Much legislation is being outlined.
| of course, and many bills are being
| framed up, both for passage and for
| the toboggan. but talk of this nature
generally is of the heart to- heart,
man-tO-m man variety, and one hears
! little of it when three or more are
gathered together.

of the House have raped for order,
