Under no circumstances will they vote for Gall in re r, they say. There are. other stalwart Republicans, • however. wMO would be acceptable to the IF insurgents. Their objection to Gall in - ger Is largely personal, “growing out of f his attitude with reference to commit tee assignments But the stalwarts say they are in the majority in the senate, and they do not propose to allow a mi nority of their number to dictate terms about anything < It's Gallinger or nothing, they say Meantime, the Democrats are in high glee. Senator Bacon is the unanimous choice of his colleagues, and will con tinue to lead the ticket as the strong cat candidate until the Republicans get together.
