issue.
Aa estimated more than 1.000.

whether W. Lee O'Danlel. who
stole the spotlight In the gorer-
nor's race, has tremendous votina
support or! whether his crowds
almply thirsted for mountain mu
sic and prefer some one else as
their nominee.
With all except two ot the doz
en would-be governors certain to
pass out ot the picture, there waa
a - sharp difference of opinion
which pair would qualify for the
run-off primary August 27.
Nearly all apeculation rerolred
about Atty. Gen. William McCraw.
Ernest O. Thompson, chairman ot
the Interstate oil compace com
mission. Tom F. Hunter of Wichi

less than 220.000 votea life state

like O'Daniel'a meteoric political
ascent since James E. Ferguson, a
country banker, awept to the gor
ernor 's chair in 1124.
O'Daniel, unkaown two months

hillbilly: musie program to in

bother to outline his views on ser
