rupt agreement" with Dr. A. E. Daven-

place T. T. Edwards, the governor's

stairway to the main floor.
"We still consider you our govern-
or", one of the group said quietly.
The governor made no answer.

of the Senate resolution suspending
him from office which a press repre-
sentative handed hin.

lution," the Governor was .told
"Who voted for me?" he inquired in
a low voice.

other votes all of which had been
cast against him. He declined to
make any statement.
