Baltimore. July 2-Republicans high in the

BOnaparte. Secretary of the Navy. as their can
didate for Governor. They have not yet ap-
preached him the subject but they believe
that if the sentiment Of the party should be that
Mr.. Bonaparte is the man to lead the fight he
would be willing to do So even though it would
be at the sacrifice Of his post Strangely enough,
the suggestion that Bonaparte be the candidate
has grown out Of the distribution of federal
Offices in which he figured in the dual role of
Civil Service reformer and political adviser OF
the President
Bonaparte's attitude toward the various polit-
ical interests that demanded a say in the ap-
pointments has given the party workers an
entirely different opinion of the Secretary's idea
of politics They no longer regard him as an
idealst a political dreamer. On the contrary
they recognize the fact that he has labored asid-
uously. and has shown that he understands
practical politics.
