Recently a rumor sprang up to tho
effect that WHHird "Marks of- Llniv
'county' would like tcTsuccced liimself'l
he having been the president ot znc
1031 session, a position which he
holds until the organization of tho
!1033 senate. It Is definitely known,
however, that Marks has aligned him
self with Kiddle and that it has been',
his position all along that he would!
not consider becoming a candidate f
for re-election except in tho event of
a deadlock, which now appears to bo :
out of tho picture as a possibility.
I'ptoii Out
Senator Jay Upton of Bend also was
a tentative candidate but he has in- j
formed personal friends that he has ;
obondoned the thought and Intends
to go Into tho Kiddle camp whenever
convinced that the latter has 15 sure
votes. .
! Fight All Oyer
I Accordingly, on tho face of tho
statement of Senator Kiddle, the sen
ate organization fight is all over and
the prospective members of tho upper
house can devote their full time to
clinching their elections In November.
Ami In this connection, it might be
stated, the Kiddle lineup consists of
j holdover senators and those having
; no opposition in tho fall campaign,
jwlth one or two exceptions, so that
his pledges stand little, If any, danger
(of being rendered ineffective by the
defeat of the givers. 1
Senator Kiddle returned to Island
