More than 1926 candidates are
in the field for the 118 vacancies
in the 1927 legislature, fewer than
10 being democrats. Supporters of
Governor Hartley and "independ-
ents" are divided pretty evenly
among the candidates in the repub-
lican primary, and already there
are many hot fights in various
parts of the state. While local is
sues rule in some districts, the
dominant issue is Hartleyism-
the aim of Mr.. Hartley for CO.
operative or submissive legislature
and the aim of Hartley supporters
to control the republican organiza-
tion. It is still too early to make
a clearcut estimate of the results
in the primary, but the best bet
is that Mr.. Hartley will gain, al
tho not enough to give him a free
hand. It looks like a pro-Hartley
house. an ti-Hartley senate; and
go days of "dog eat dog" song
and-dance stuff, and little legisla-
tion of any Importance.
There will not be much change
in the leadership on either side,
altho some of the leaders are up
against their stiffest fights. The
first results were horse and horse
the anti-Hartley forces being as
sured of the return of their house
