The only publically active opposition factions are the group backing Dick Ander son, actor and basketball star, and the widely publicized Non-Partisan R League. Brittain Won't Run League draft-nominee Deward B. Brittain announced definitely last week that he would not be a candi date, giving outside employment and numerous campus activities as tieces sitating the move. Vice- Presidential nonlinee Virginia Cardwell has also made a tentative announ(ement of withdrawal but active plans are go ing forward to keep the Non-l'arti sans in the center of the March stumping. From thc "inside boys" there are only suspicions of what might hap pen in the way of other candidates or political alliances. The chief idea stated to be the defeat of the elusive group known popularly as the "ma chine". Confusion is added to the issue, however, )y this same avowal from all potential office-seekers. The jockeying of the two major factions for position appears to be keeping the minor parties, whose votes are needed for a decisive elec tion, from taking indefinite steps. No Definiie Paziy Opposition to the present admin istration, state observers, is having difficulty in consolidation into a party with effective election influence. Sev eral leaders making only semi-public or private statements announcing op position to politics in the present con trolling party. WVithin the ranks of administration forces, where the most active work is taking place, indecision as to candi dates other than Simpson is credited to disagreement among party leaders as to "who shall run for what." The actual elections and official campaign speeches will not take place until after the spring holidays.
