B. K Hubbard Says Oftice Sought the Man Coming Convention.


 Man-Co Coming Convention. B. Kent Hubbard, Jr, when seen by a Middletown Penny Press reporter, this morning, said that he had beer asked to become a candidate for lieu tenant governor, and that he had ac- cepted the suggestion or the proHered nomination. MT Hubbard was in no sense a candidate for the position, and it was rendered to him entirely un- sought. MT Hubbard said, if elected. he will use his best efforts to build up the. democratic party in this state, He will not become candidate so much for the honor of holding this high office as he will for the substantial purpose of building up the party.
 If elected he will use his strength and energy to build up the party, and his nomination will do more to cement the party ties in his section of the state than anything else that could hap. pen. All factions of the party will rally to the support of MT Hubbard. who may be denominated a clean poll : 4ician in every sense of the word.
 Mir Hubbard is an exponent of the strenuous life and his connection with. the large manufacturing company at the Farms classes him as one of the captains of industry of the country. MT Hubbard is so well and favorably known that anything that may be said in his praise would be accepted as II matter of fact and would not raise him in the high estimations he is held in this community and the state where he is already largely known.
 From the days when he was a star football player on the Trinity college team he has lead the strenuous life, and has been worker for the advance ment of the commercial prosperity of the town.
 As president of the Y M. Q. A.. he has displayed the energy that has marked his business career and has placed the association in the most pros porous condition it has ever been since its doors were open.
 From the standing Mir Hubbard has in this community it may safely be in ferred that he will poll the largest vote ever cast for a candidate for q state office in Middletown
 The nomination will give extreme satisfaction to the whole party here. and his name on the ticket will give it additional strength.
 A meeting of the third ward demo cratic committee will be held in the court room in the City hall building tonight at 9:45. Chairman James J. Lawlor will preside. All union men are requested to attend.
