Touching the nomination for the gov

TO be emphatic, states that Mr.. Root
will not be the Republican candidate;
that If nominated he will refuse to
run and II elected will decline the Of
fee. His prospective refusal to run If
nominated is important, but the dec
laration that II elected he will do
cline the office is wholly irrelevant.
M. Root is wanted as a candidate for
governor in order to pull through the
Republican electoral ticket. What he
should do with the Office, if elected, is
not giving the Republican leaders
much solicitude.
