The following interesting bit of po

Washington correspondent of the

Following various rumors regard
ing their intentions, it became fairly
settled here today that Representa-
gress
It has been generally accepted that
Representative Godwin would make
another race for a seat in the lower
house, but Representatives Stedman
and Doughton have been undecided
during the past few weeks as to their
plans. At one time they were inclin
ed to withdraw and retire to private
life and business, and at another they
were attempting to seek to stay in
public service
It was learned here today that re
cently the three men got together in
an informal conference and discuss
ed their political ambitions and de
sires. It was suggested at this im
promptu meeting that the three ought
to follow thQxample , of . ReBir,
tive L. j.MtoDlrisondf 'the seventh
district, and eliminate their names
from consideration or else quit talk
ing about retirement.
It is understood that everybody
present agreed that this was a fair
proposal; in other words, that each
member should get out of the, race or
stay in it, and stop further comment
regarding their intentions.
'The best information available to
day was that all three members in
ttod to run again. There is practic
ally' no doubt that Representative
