 Him For Senator

 There Were only 20 mem befs of the committee present, six of whom declined to vote either way on the resolution endorsing candidate for the senate. claiming that such act ion was entirely out of order unlses the state central committee had ask ed for such endorsements The peoz pie Of this county in primary eleez ton would either endorse the H on s.

ed his friends for their loyal sup port, and asked the cooperation of all in his efforts to hold down special legislation and expedite the business of the session to the end that all necessary business of the state may be transacted in the re- stricted session Of sixty days. Great power lies in the hands of the President of the Senate and Speak CT of the House and it is conceded that each body is to be guided by one of its most capable and eonsci- entious members. Many great is- sues are to be determined by this session, not the least momentous of which is the proposed calling of constitutional convention in the com ing summer That will mean the assem blnig of practically another Legislative body, with the purpose of re-drafting the entire body Of the states organic law, the elimi- nation of the antiquated, and arch aie, and the adoption of modern governmental methods SO sueee sfal= ly used in other states.

The Senatorial situation.

The Senatorial Situation.
 The greatest interest eentefs about the contest for United States Senator, and all the contingencies clustered about that complex and tangled situation For the first time since the preferential primary 4as adopted, the Legislature will De unframme1ed= by popuiar =fnstrue- ton in it's selection of q Senator to succeed the late Jeff Davis There are some Of the Legislators who will insist that the Qnestion be re= ferred to a primary. Gov bonaghey suggested that Col Brundidge made proposition to the tWo oth= ef principal candidates. Atty Gen. Hal L. Norwood and Gov-elect Rob- inson, that il be submitted 10 primary Gen Norwood accepted, expressing hls willingness 10 sub nit to primary. with or without a canvass To hold a primary with out canvass would have enabled Gov Robinson to perform his dat- les IS governor in the meantime without Interruption But Gov Robinson declined to enter into primary. declaring it impraetieable. since the law requires that the cleo ton by the Legislature be made the second Tuesday following organiza- lion This would force the Assemb- Y to go into the election on Jan q, or on Jan 2S, should there be delay in the organization Fur thermore, in his answer, Gov Rob- inson tells Col. Brundidge that il is clear you must have found your candidacy SO unpopular With the members Of the legislature as 10 ascertain that your election by them is impossible
 But the friends of Brundidge and Norwood are active. and express confidence Their ability 10 must er sufficient force among the 3a members to bring about a dead lock is the thing that will make the result uncertain It has been stat ed by friends Of Gov. Robinson, how ever. that he has S6 pledged votes, whereas only 6S are necessary 10 a choice on the first ballot. Furth- ermore, it is admitted that Gov Robinson has the advantage of be ing governor and controlling legls- 1ation for the greater part of the session. whether he be elected to the Senate or not. and this gives him the whip-hand. IL is an influ- ence that even his opponents must reckon with.
 In answer to those who insist that Gov. Robinson should continue Tn the office of Governor for two or four years. and fulfill the pledges for which he stood as candidate for governor, he replies that by the time his term of office for Senatp would begin, the Legislature would have either adopted or rejected his propositions. Further, at this cris- Is In national affairs, he considers that he has a wider field for good at Washington than in the admin istration of the governor office af- ter the session of the Legislature.
 Col Brundidges friends call at tention 10 the fact that he was the only candidate against Jeff Davis, and was defeated by less than To- 900 votes, which they consider make him the logical candidate. Gen. Norwood urging his claims, says his election will not create any vacan- cy to be filled by special election with the resulting expense and po- litical turmoil" and he furthermore insists that ssthp lOrp-sarvica was

Some Incidental Fife cts

t is believed now that Judge W. NJ kavanaugh, national committee man, will probably be elected for the short term, succeeding, ] N. Heiskell, editor of the Arkansas Ga zette. now serving under appoint ment by Gov Donaghey.
 Should Robinson go to the Sen ate, there would develop immediate ly hard contest for the Governor ship. which began within twelve hours following Senator Davis death. Secretary of State Hodges, Prosecuting Attorney Robert L. Rog- CTS. Hon. John II. Hinemon. and Dr. C II Brough are avoWed candidates, Judge c. N. Hays, Sheriff Edgar Brewster, and Mayor Charles E. Taylor are possibilities, and if de feated for the Senate. some of his friends predict that Hal NorWood will enter the race for governor
 The shifting of federal patronage is also an important fact and the many who had been relying upon the influence of Senator Davis must now lay other plans The fact that Democrats are in the ascendancy makes the Senatorship more than ever important.
