American Legion Commander Henry

continuing reports say.
There was a Duplin delegation in
Raleigh yesterday evening. Members
of it think Mr. Stevens has about
made his mind. To date there have
been many suggestions of possible
candidacies. The proponents of the
opposition were looking for a runner.
Former Lieutenant Governor R. T.

neither has said he would nor would
not try to beat Mr. Bailey. Governor
Ehringhaus apparently has no interest
at all in it. That eaves the East with
uncertain candidates. But the Duplin
people say they have been talking with
Mr. Stevens, w|ho impressed them as
about to make a decision.
It is known here that Senator
Bailey would havep rovided at least
two good Washington appointments
for Mr. Stevens had the Warsaw
lawyer been willing to accept them.
