on the platform of their own making
and in filing their declarations of csn
didacy each pledged himself Jo vote
"for the people's choice, provided be
was a .KepuDiican. ' ,
In the debate before the convention,
C. W. Hodson, leadsr of the machine
combination, tipped off tha real Joker
in tne macnine campaign won. oiaouaa-
tnm (ha alanllon of senator.. ' At that
time. In answer to the question of
whether or not ha would support tne

there Is still a Joker In tho minds of
the Kodson-Beach-Bailey-Reed machine,
as has been shown by the conversation
of members of the slate. - The plan out
lined by the machine ts simply mm:;
In tha primary election of April. IT
the machine win . throw all of Its
strength toward the nomination of C
W. Fulton for United States senator.
In the June election It will throw its
support to Oovsmor Chamberlain, gulet-
y out persistently, in tns nopea oigiv
ng him the popular election. If that
a done, the machine leaders will have
accomplished their purpose, and the rea
son xor it is this:
Both xnedged by jnatfom, .
Senator Fulton Is nledaed by his plat
form not to allow hla name to come bo
fore the leglalature unless ho receives
the popular indorsement in June.! ti. M,
