The rout Republicans suffered in to have left them so buffeted that selves to put together a group. It this should develop the minority opposition probably would center around Harry Lee Waterfield, Clinton, former House Speaker who was beaten in the Democratic gubernatorial primary.

The Senate division in the new Assembly is Democrats and 9 Republicans; "the House is 76 Democrats and 24 Republicans, barring changes in contested and close races. However, even this small group of Republicans may have trouble working together because of ditferences in the party's own fight. Even if it should develop unity it would have to fashion some type of working alliance with dissident Democrats to have any strength. GOP Minority Weak Unless Waterfield Aids. fashion minority voice may be one of the internal a in the November election is it may be left for Democrats believed them- power within his own district.

Clements is said to be behind Chapman's canddacy statewide, which will be a powerful stimulant toward popularity. Nevertheless, there is a degree of watchfulness as to early progress by Chapman. If any segment formidable resistance should develop, then Kilgore or some other aspirant probably would join the fight. Jesse K. Lewis, Frankfort attorney and member of the Public Service Commission, is reported to have an eye on the Senate race.

Lewis, who was A central figure in the disbarment proceedings brought in Federal Court against the late Ulie J. Howard as Kenton Commonwealth's Attorney, gave up the idea of a race for Governor because of illness. If his health mends sufficiently Lewis might seriously consider opposing Chapman. He probably could make the race highly interesting by injecting some controversial issues. The noisier the Democratic fight becomes the better U.

candidacy of U. S. Rep. Virgil Chapman, Paris. Chapman is a political that is prob- NOW WATERFIELD, a newspaper publisher and farmer, represents a liberal element within the Democratic party in Kentucky.

The Governor-elect, Earle C. Clements, Morganfield, represents the conservative side. Waterfield is an advocate of high spending for education and cheap power. His strongest appeal possibly is to the cheap-power group. While he was prodded into some activity in behalf of Clements in the gubernatorial campaign there seems to be little place for Waterfield within the Clements organization.

To keep himself and his political followers alive Waterfield must find an issue. Offhand his best issue would seem to be a continuation of his cheap-power fight. If Waterfield could get cheap power as an issue before the General Assembly and inject himself into the fight against Clements then this purpose would be served. Clements best could play this game by allowing the Moss bill to be revived. The Moss bill sets up formula for purposes of existing facilities when city elects to set up its own municipal power system.

Such bill, sponsored by Sen. Ray Moss, Pineville, Republican, was defeated in 1916. In his primary fight against Clements, Waterfield tried to picture Clements as a foe of cheap power and a friend of the big companies. THERE IS considerable speculation as to what will take place on the power issue. Will Clements prevent the matter ever from developing by squelching in committee any Moss bill? Will he favor one? Will he allow the Legislature to pass one and neither sign nor veto it? Will he veto such a bill and use under cover his influence to have his veto overridden as some of his enemies are whispering that he might do? Politically the issue is SO troversial that Clements, if he continues in his role of working for party unity, best could keep down 8 rift by seeing that the matter never was considered by the General Assembly.

In that way he would weaken his opposition by burying its best issue. There is no assurance that such method would be flawless, however, We hear that there has been some consideration of getting a reverse of the Moss Bill before the Assembly if Clements should attempt to sidestep the issue. Such a bill would ease the path to municipal ownership and could a be expected to receive violent opposition from big power interests. Now if this should develop look for it to arise over an effort Glasgow to acquire its own plant. THERE HAS BEEN some talk that Waterfield might try to fight with the Clements side over election of House Speaker.

Indications are that such movement would be doomed to quick defeat. It may not be undertaken. Waterfield has several friends among the members of the Legislative Council, to which he recently made a number of This Council has met briefly twice. Its purpose is to study needs and recommend a to budget. However, the 1946 Legislature left it without funds and there is a question whether it could or would be paid if it worked.

Lawrence W. Wetharby, Louisville, would be the new head of the Council, and there is speculation that he never will call together, allowing Clements to develop and present his own budget. Governor Willis offered a budget in addition to the Council's budget a in 1946. WE HEAR that Ben Kilgore, Franklin, runner -up for the Democratic nomination for Governor in 1943, would like to be a candidate for the party nomination for U. S.

Senator. Kilgore's 1943 campaign was managed by Waterfield. In return Kilgore managed the recent Waterfield campaign. Kilgore now is said to be considering seriously entering the Senate race. Our guess is that whether he does will depend upon how much encouragement he receives.

The amount of encouragement that Kilgore receives probably will depend upon how popular is the PHILIP P. ARDERY, Frankfort ond Newport, Into reenlisting with him.

Ardery, we hear, would have disagreed with Wallace's opposition to State Department policy while conceding his right to oppose such policy and to fight for whatever principle he should espouse. After seeing a copy of the proposed introduction, sponsors of the Wallace speech are said to have worked out another method of introduction and asked Ardery to be a preliminary speaker. This invitation, we are told, was declined, which probably is the reason that Ardery did not appear on the program as advertised. THE LIST of prospective candidates for the Republican tion for U. S.
