the supporters of Libby Werd and
Bill Fenner fairly snort with indig
nation and dsdain.
IF he has all those pledged votes,
why is he out beating the bushes
throughout the east in a desperate
attempt to line up a few more sup
porters?" they shout in unison.
There will be 113 Democrats in the
House. Assuming that the three cam
didates do not go into the caucus and
vote themselves that would leave 40
possible votes.
There will undoubtedly be a few
absentees by reason of sickness or
from other causes.
From this angle it seems that "a
or 55 votes should be majority.
Confidential Ward and Fenner lists
agree substantially in conceding APP
proximately 40 votes to Bryant.
In other words, the DurnGmlte is
still the man to beat" in any impair
tial survey of the speakership fight.
On the other hand these same i'm
