! committee. and has always been an active party
man Several times he has been urged TO run
| for Office but never would consent TO do
So His friends made q special effort 10
get him TO run against Mr. Hewitt for Mavor two
years ago, but the same consd rat on that causes
| him now to hesitate about accepting second place
on the state ticket led him TO decline the Mayoraty
| nomination This was his extensive business m
terests The Colonel is controller OF the lrInty
Corporation, position that requires great % ue'i
of time and close attention. In addition TO thls'
