Raleigh, July 16. Mr. E. J. Just
ice, of Greensboro, a former speaker
of the House, said today that - he
would announce in a few days wheth
er or not he would be a candiate for

tor Overman. " He would not say pos
itively that he "will run, but friends
are certain that be will make the
race. Former Governor fllenn is al
so expected to enter.
The State, commission on constitu
tional amendments meets this . after
noon to past several amendments on
third readings. A spirited fight is
expected over the initiative and ref
erendum,' but advocates say it will
Win by two majority. It passed eight
to seven on second reading at More
head City last month. Other matters
will be settled practically unanimous
ly.. U ' .

lery.'. '.-'-.,....
Raleigh, July; 16. Taking the por
tion that the initiative and referen
dum would jeopardize the passage of
other amendments, Governor Craig
spoke against it and declared that
taxation was bigger than all other
questions combined and urged segre
gation.

the Goveruortbe right of veto power,
commended new judges and shorter
circut; urged abolishment of poll tax
and declared initiative and referen-
dum ;shwuld- Uw-iaftTiorttMl "iii AU
amendmeht. Both Craig aHd-tmik
are'gainst requiring'-the "Bible to
be read in public scboois.
A. poll taken by a Times reporter
showed that initiative and reterendum
was killed bv one vote and the: veto
Dower bv a iarger vote. The conv
mission will probably get through
late tomorrow or. early tomorrow.
