 REPEAL QUESTION PUBLICLY Y
Ooran Decides Upon Open Sessions at Outset After Con ference With Colleagues Will Oppose Any Effort to
 Prolong the Debate Unnecessarily

administration leaders le, 1t be known that any effort to prolong the prelimi- nary consideration would be opposed even to the extreme of moving to dis charge the committee from considera- tion of the subject.
 Senator O'Gornian. leading democratic opponent of the repeaA and others who join with him in the fight still insist, however. that there will be no effort to delay in committee. When the issue reached the floor of the Senate various fcrces at work to complicate the situa- ton make 1t improbable that vote can be reached for several weeks.
 Senator McCumber, republican, O! North Dakota, member of the foreign rc-ations committee, who steadfastly re- fuses to join the party opposition tc President Wilson's polfcy, addressed the Senate at length today in support of the repeal bill.

For at torney general the nomination of Will Fam l.. Martin is indicated. For com missioner of agriculture the race is clouded to such an extent that the leader can scarcely be predicted. For auditor, M. C. Allgood is leading. For treasurer, there is great doubt, aiothough Brooks Smith and M. A. Graham appear to have an advantage.
 Doubt as to Result
 In regard to the races for associate judges of the supreme court and asso- eiate judge of the court of appeals. there is doubt For the former, J. J. May field, Romaine Boyd and ". H. Thomas boiled large votes. It would cause little surprise if Judge deGraffenried, incum- hcnt has been beaten. From returns to date, the contest fo- associate justice of the court of appeals is close with the advantage being with the incumbent, E. Perry Thomas. His friends claim the state by a handsome majority.
