Chairman Oulllngier of t'.ie committee on committees then will bring In a list of reubllcan members which It Is hope will satisfy "progres Stye" republicans and permit itnmedl ate action. The house today dealt with emer fency bills, with a report lute in the afternoon on the free list measure by Chairman Underwood. One week's debate on the measure Is anticipated. Its ultimate passage Is not doubted. Senate Committee Pisces.

The United St, ites Supreme court concluded its weekly duty of handing down deci sions without announcing opinions In either the Standard OH or Tobacco anti-trust cases.

Gazette-News Bureau. Yarborough House, Raleigh. April 24. HERK is hardly a day passes that does not add to the evidence that ex-Governor Charles P. Ayeoclt is going to be In the race for United States senate to succeed Sen ator Simmons. The former has even been so far as to state that while a year ago he would not have consid ered such a thing, recent events havo brought such a change and so much pressure from so many quarters has been brought to bear that he Is now aeiiously considering It. Put this In your pit and smoke It Ex-Governor Aycnek will be In the race unless a cog slips. "When a Man Gets to Considering." Severn! days ago the Gasette-News had a story to the effect that Gov ernor Aycock was considering his candidacy and since that time the evi dence lias been cumulative. In fact others are beginning to find out that the Gazette-Newts had it right. In speaking of politics the other day n man well known In political life In this state and one who has held high office remarked, "when a man gets to considering, the fight within himself is over. You can put It down the man who says he Is considering running, Is running at that very moment. What It Means. What does Ayceck's cshdiaafy mean? In the first place. It foreshad ows one of the hardest political fights In the state's history among JCitehln. Simmons and Aycock. It means a drawing of the lines between the so called "progressives" and the old liners. When Mr. Aycock has so strongly endorsed Cenator Simmons' course In general, how he can be re garded as one of the chief lights of the progressives Is hard to see. It Is Certain that the progressives will look upon him as their champion. Senator Simmons and Governor Kltchln would then probably be thrown Into the class of old liners and the tariff aid other such perplexing questions will figure largely. As a matter of fact, the men and not Issues will likely be the deciding feature, the friends of VAUGHN M DIE OF UNI FE WOUNDS Stabbed Twice by Charles Honey, Who Escaped It Is Said That Quarrel Grew out of Card Game.
