Ben Hulse, state senator
from the 39th senatorial dis
trict, will not seek re-elec-
ton to the office he holds,
nor election to any other
public office this year, he announc-
ed Thursday.
The announcement left the field
wide open to speculation about his
possible successor. A. Y. Preble.
successor to aHulse on the Imperial
county board of supervisors from
the Imperial district, was most

indicated that he planned to run.
Among the Democrats, County
Clerk Edward H. Law and F. w.
Greer seemed most likely candi-
dates.
On the other hand, many poll
tical observers believed that Hulse
might attempt to choose his own
successor, possibly from the ranks
of his close followers. In the let
ter announcing that he will not
be a candidate for office this year,
HulSe indicated, some believed,
that he will attempt to hold an
active influence in politics. First
announcing his intention, Hulse
