HENDERSON WILL
SUPPORT JOHNSTON
FavOrs Huntsville Man For
Speakership
OSCAR LEWIS FAVORED
State Administration Aligns Itself
With Candidates For Legislative
Offices-Attitute Consid-
cred Significant

Montgomery. December S.-(Special)-By
far the most significant political develop
ment in the state since the November
election is the stated attitude of Charles
Henderson, governor elect, relative to the
speaker of the house and the president
pro tenn of the senate. The administra-
ton will lend it's support to the candidacy
of Edward D. Johnston of Huntsville for
the first office and to Oscar Lewis of Tus-
kegee for the second.
There are so many grounds for the
above statement that it needs no qualiflca-
ton. Men close to Governor-elect Hen
derson, as we'll as those who were among
his leaders during his campaign, assert
that there is not the remotest doubt of
the stand he will take regarding the pre-
siding officers of the house and senate.
Moreover, it is declared on the highest
authority obtainable that Mr.. Henderson
already has personally pledged his support
to both Mr.. Johnston and Mr.. Lewis.
1t is known that Mr.. Johnston conferred
with Mr. Henderson at the latter's home
in Troy last Saturday. He came to Mont
gomery that night and Immediately wen.
into conference with number of his
friends here. In that conference he stated
that he was convinced of his election, in
dicating that he had received promise of
support from AZ members of the house,
and further intimatng that certain other
influences would undoubtedly be given his
capdidoc,v

No Doubt of Henderson's Attitude


The attitude of Governor-eiect Hender-
office of president pro tenn can hardly be
questioned, when it is remembered that
both Mr.. Johnston and Mr.. Lewis took
an active part in bringing about his cleo
ton Both were elected on platforms SIM
liar to that of Mr.. Henderson, and follow
ing the first primary, both went on the
stump in his behalf. From these circum-
stances it would seem absurd to predict
any other course for the administration
to follow than to lend all it's influence
and support to the candidacy of these gem
tlemen.
Had Mr.. Conner been elected governor
it would be difficult to say whether he
would have supported for the speakership
A. II. Carmichael of Tuscumbia or Henry
Merritt of Tuskegee, but he would not
have supported Ed Johnston. Neither
would he have given his influence to Os-
car Lewis.
For the same reason Mr.. Henderson will
unquestionably support his friends. So
far as known, he has not made a public
statement that would indicate his prefer
ence of anyone of a thousand or more
candidates who are seeking to hold office
under his administration. but it is not
necessary to predict his attitude with ref
erence to certain of the candidates. And
| in this respect both Mr.. Johnston and
Mr.. Lewis may be numbered among those
upon whom the administration will smile.
Governor Henderson will rely upon his
friends to aid him in fulfilling certain
pledges he made when he was a candi-
date for office He will have a fixed
legislative programme for the members
of the two bodies to carry out, and he
will seek as leaders of the house and
senate those men who supported his cam
didacy and advocated his policies.

ST Joseph county farmers face
bankruptcy as the result Of the raw
ages of the foot and mouth disease
which is spreading with alarming
rapidity in its most virulent form
among cattle, sheep and hogs
There is a possibility that the state
militia will be requested to maintain
a strict patrol of the quarantined dis
tricts in St. Joseph and Laporte coun-
ties and to prevent violation of that
quarantine.
These two facts stood out most
prominently Thursday when the au-
thOrities for the first time since the
discovery of the disease indicated the
alarming nature of the present cpl
demic and expressed their own fear
that even the most stringent meas
ures, unless adopted Immediately,
might not be able to save any of the
herds of ST Joseph county. even
though they have not yet been af-
fected.
Two Methods OF Attack
Two lines Of attack were suggest
ed: First the immediate enforce
ment of the most stringent quaran-
tine. (Reports of repeated violations
Of the quarantine indicate the light
manner in which many farmers treat
the situatiOn.) Second. steps by the
ment TO reimburse the farmers for
their losses to prevent an absolute
LaraIysis of the cattle raising indus
try or even general farming.
Unless immediate steps are taken
both by the state and federal gov
ernments to bring about a closer
quarantine and to provide for an ap-
preparation to reimburse the farmers.

taken the state Of Indiana viii be as

That some more stringent steps
must be taken to provide a closer

county Thursday morning.
