was also n candidate for the posi-
ton he has held since statehood.
Then also what about former SEN
ator Gore? lie Is known to be very
deeply concerned in the present
campaign, although mot expressing
public opinion for any particular
candidate. Perhaps he will not
make any such expression, but men
OF his political sagacity do not have
to make speeches from the house,
tops in order to be understood,
Nor is the silence OF republicans
over who shall head their ticket well
understood. There has been a re-
markable unison OF the republican
factions in one respect-they are all
walking with rubber heels and Civ
ing out nothing for publication.
Chairman Alexander appointed Mrs.
j. G. Pearson of Marshall to sue
coed Mrs. Warren Brown as vice
chairman, the appointment to be
approved by the state executive
committee. But he has not called
that committee and probably will
not for a considerable period Of
time.
In any event there is no new
name mentioned among the prob
able republican candidates for gov-
ernor and none of those heretofore
mentioned has become an actual
candidate for the place.
In this connection IL is well to
mention that there Is still quite a
little gossip about another probable
democratic entrant, but World read
ers do not expect this to happen.
although 1t will be we'll to remem-
ber that should Senator owen get
| home, standing of a certain demo-
cratic candidate might change ma
hterially for the better-better for
him, anyhow.
Cause of Discussion.
Cause Of apprehension that an
other democrat might enter the gu
bernatoIial race is connected with
an unsupported rumOr that CorpOr-
alton Com missioner Campbell RUS
sell might travel in that direction in
lieu OF making a race to succeed
himself, where the list Of entrants
are getting to be too numerous to
mention" In addition to Auditor
Frank Carter and former Commits
sioner Bob EChols, VIII Guthrie Of
! Okfuskce county and Fay ConnOr OF
| Fairview are candidates, Still an
! other one Is at Rocky and there may
be others. During the week friends
of Mr.. Russell gave out the rumor
| that he may be an actual candidate
for governor, but It IS not a new
| idea and has been often discussed
| IT is a tough job at best ana the
