Friday before a house committee.
He suggested notifications and
methods OF re-drafting the bill un-

would make a bill comparable to

said that legislation touching the

ST EPH { n s
WILL No I
RUN AGAIN,
REPORT.
Governors Advisers Said to
Be Against His Making
Race for Reelection; AS
semblyman Beal a Factor

Intimations that Gov. Stephens may
not seek reelection and that one of
his recent appointees, Jonathan S.
Dodge, state superintendent of banks,
formerly member of the Los Ange-
les county board of supervisors, may
run as the favored candidate of the
administration forces, have created
stir, says a Sacramento dispatch.
According to persons responsible for
this purported administration leak, the
Governor himself is very anxious to
make the race, being confident that a
radical anti-corporation campaign will
assure his reelection, but it is said
his confidence is not shared by certain
practical politicians who have thus
far managed the Governors political
strategy.
These astute readers of public Opin-
10 mare understood to be somewhat
dismayed by the growing denuncia-
ton of the cost Of state government,
and it is said they are about persuad-
ed that Stephens economy record is
too great a handicap in the face of
almost solid attacks by the opposition.
The Governors position already has
been materially weakened by the wide
spread discomfort over the rfopor-
tons of the budget adopted by the
last legislature and the early appear
ance of a candidate unequivocally COM
mitted to actual retrenchment in
state affairs makes the outlook even
more dubious.
1t is said that Mr.. Stephens has not
renounced intention to make the race
himself, but his recent attack on
group of anti-Stephens legislators in
Southern California, including Assem-
blyman Frank Beal. contained an ut
terance believed to have been made as
a possible means of gracefully retir-
ing from the race at some future date.
In his statement. which was de-
fense of his administration, the Gov
ernor asserted that he desired to warn
the people against his enemies, 're-
gardless of whether or not | shall be
candidate for reelection next year"
Many of his opponents saw in this,
however, merely an effort on the part
of Gov. Stephens to defer as long as
possible any announcement of his can
didacy.
Another apparent upsetting in the
political plans of the Stephens ma
chine is the purported choice Of Mr..
Dodge as the machine standard-bear-
er. Before his appointment as su-
perintendent of banks it was general
ly understood at the capitol that Mr..
Dodge was regarded by Mr.. Stephens
as probably the strongest opposition
candidate the South could offer and
the appointment was accepted as a
shrewd move on the part of the Gov
,ernor to remove a dangerous political
rival.
