AAblAt pLp6ACas2C7s
Rumors come from both sides to
the effect that the opposing candi-
date viii 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" he 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
ly 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
yet figuring in the problem in any
manner.
Discussing the race to-day. Senator
q g
settled Judge Allen never can get
my Senators away from me-they viii
stick, and / have more than I 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.
l 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 man variety, and one hears
little of it when three or more are
gathered together.
The General Assembly will be called
to order Wednesday morning at 10
o'clock, in both branches. After the
secretary OF the Senate and the clerk
of the House have raped for order
