ion now that the party will be. at

dorsed BY Republicans.

torney who was in the city today,
called on Governor Curry and paid his
respects to the executive. Mr.. Ward

number Hon. Charles A. Spiess who

not a candidate and Louis G. Ilfeld,
another Republican lawyer there, Is
in Europe and so far is not in the

Governor Curry as yet has not indt-
Gated what his action will be in the
matter, although it is believed that

chance. Mr.. Ward in addition to be-
Ing an attorney was for several
years connected with newspapers. He
served for a while as the European
