II would not be a hard task, even
at this early day. to pick most OF tina
men who will be honored with nom

gubernatorial nomination, puts him
far in the lead I'm the race for that

picked TO head the state ticket when
II was thought Mr. Harmon would
stick to his first declaration not 10
be a candidate. has cleared the way
for the Ciuciunatlan by saying he
would not accept the nomination
should IL be rendered him. He was
one OF those who urged Mr.. Harmon
to reconsider his original decision not
10 be a candidate.

OF the state are up in the air over

expressing the opinion that the latter
hasn't consented to run. but that

booming him for the vice presiden-
tial nomination.

mon Is on the antl-Johnson slate for
governor against the Cleveland may
