The session of the state legislature, which will called convened today, be upon to choose a successor to United States Senator Thomas H- - Bard, whose term of offlee expires with the close of the present congress. The senatorial situation Is very much mixed, and the result cannot be foretold with any degree of certainty. Senator Bard Is a candidate for and his principal opponent at the present time appear to be Frank P. Flint of Los Angeles, who Is supported W the organisation" forces of the southern part of the state. Bard is supported by hs personal following, which Is composed principally of workers. If Flint can command the united support of the southern California legislators his chances of election are excellent, while, on the other hand. If Bard should win in caucus, he would still have to overcome the opposition of the northern organization" forces. George Knight, the only northern aspirant. Is still pushing his candidacy, basing his hope on the calculation that If the south falls to unite on Flint, the support of the machine would coine to him in preference to Bard. Henry T.
