two weeks.
Before leaving New York he an
ncunced he was going South for his

iecislative session at Albany. He said
thumbs would be turned down on poll

however. it is expected that many a
prominent Democratic leader in this
vicinity will pay courtesy call on the
governor before he returns North. His
supporters believe that such visits will

rely on his contact with the rank and

his popularity.

picked a State which fought him TO
