Princeton Union, Suggests Delegates
.,a. for National Convention.
A. p, Gray of Preston, one Of the best
known republicans in the state, has had I
all he could. do for, the past month or so
to stave. off growing demand that he
run for governor. According to advices I
from Preston, Mr.. Gray has received many
letters, kilograms and telephone messages I
urging him TO get into the race and pledg-
Ing him support. They have come from
all sections of the state. He has emphat-
1cally refused to consider the proposition, !
and has declared himself steadfast sup
porter Of Judge Collins. Mr.. Gray is a
power in the first district, and will lend
great deal of strength to the Collins
forces. He is law partner of Senator
Thompson; who is also understood to be
strong for Collins.
Mr.. Gray is considered ideal timber for
congress. IAN etfOrtsawas made to bring
him ont against Eawney last time, and
it is predicted that awhen Tawney sdoes
retire the Preston man will succeed him.
j. F, Jacobson Is immensely popular
among a. large element. of republicans,
while another branch. of the party is
bitterly oppose9 ITO him. SO ibis appoint
ment on theaboard Of control meets with
q VS11AouS AoSCpLAoL. Ills ISpuloC4O11 ds>
q treasury watch dog. gives rise to the
fear that he will pursue too close a policy
with the institutions. but his friends say
he will be fair and reasonable. Placed In
| an executive position, he will not take
the extreme attitude he always pursued
in the legislature. :: Even there, when it
came to a ftfshowa down, jacobson was
always disposed to- be fair. He is
| man Of high, ideals and .incorruptible hon.
esty,: and his appointment is very salts
factory to the other nembefs; Of the board.
Politically speaking, the appointment
perhaps does not carry as much strength
as Cosgrove's would. Jacobsons section
of the state Is pretty solid with the adj
ministration already. - OF course, it will
tend to heal the cdisaffection in the. sew
enth caused by the appointment Of Dona-
| hover and the slight to 3: II. Young. But
| Jacobson himself will take. no hand in
| the game. Before his appointment was
| announced he said repeatedly that he was
''out of politics. e,.s -

esting propositions lin the same issue, as
