Hill departure dates cloud senate nomination race
CHANGE and associates said they did not know his departure date. Some observers thought Hill delayed appointment until results were official. Graves said he would appoint the nominee as soon as the result is known. Certificates should be available at the capitol by Tuesday or Wednesday. The governor said he would vote for Hill and that his administration backed Hill strongly. Some friends wondered if Hill would return to the House before becoming senator in an April 26 general ballot. Alabama election practice makes the Democratic nomination tantamount to victory. Hill planned to seek the May Democratic nomination for the long term Senate seat in January 1939.
