being much discussed by the news
papers
If he runs he will be pitted, in all
likelihood directly against President
of the Senate J. Randolph Anderson.
Observers at this time think the race
may narrow down eventually to
trial Of strength between these two.
and no more.
Such a contest would be interesting
in the extreme. II would be a contest
between good personal friends to be
sure, but it doubtless would have its
severely acute political angles, new
ertheless
Both men are good lighters, each is
abundantly able to take care Of him p
self on the stump. and both would go
at the matter Of campaigning more or
less hammer and tongs"-w which
would insure them large and atten-
tive audiences from start to finish!
The Legislature, of course would
divide between them--in what exact
ratio ii would be hazardous to fore
cast now. Both men have won their
spurs in the General Assembly, and
each is the presiding officer Of the
house In which he claims member
ship.
Anderson has trained in the past
largely with the so called Brown ele-
ment IN State politics, whereas Bur-
well is listed generally with the So
called Smith end. And yet, II looks
as il it is improbable that either
would be lined mp in the Governor
ship race as a rank partisan-a and 1t
Is a certainty that both would find
some degree Of comfort from camps
primarily credited hostile.
In many ways, a race between An
derson and Rurwell would go into ev
cry nook and corner Of the State as
no other race could. There is not one
county in which both have not many
former legislative colleagues, and
there would be somebody at every
body's elbow to tell him what is
what" about these two candidates.
Presumably too-and this is hap
py circumstance fight between An
derson and Burwell would he free
from mud singing" Neither man
inclines TO fight after that fashion
and they are friends and legislative
associates
