Until last winter, when he resigned
as county chairman of the Republican
party in New York City, when he was
succeeded by Lloyd c. Griscom. former
minister 10 Japan, ana ambassador to
Brazil and Italy, Mr.. Parsons had a
heaVy responsibility. He says that he
was forced 10 resign, as the position
had seriously impaired his digestion and
peace OF mind. and he felt that after
TOUR years OF the hard work which fol-
lows politics he was entitled TO a rest
MI PARSONS Is among the leaders Of
the young Republicans OF New York
state he was accused of having a
finger IN the defeat OF Governor Charles
T. Hughes direct primary bill. This
ne most emphatically denies He is a
close friend OF Colonel Theodore RoOse-
Velt and is also a strong supporter Of
President William H Taft and his ad-
minis tration.
4 am of the opinion that the New
YORK state Republican convention which
VIII be held next month will strongly
uphold the national administration and
that the party in New York believes
strongly IN the sincerity and ability OF
President Taft, and, accordingly, will
say So"
RoOseVelf Not TO Name.
In speaking CT the choice of the Re
RupHcah candidate for governor, Mr.
Parsons says that he does not believe
colonel Roosevelt will attempt to name
the man. and Is not quite sure that he
viii attend the convention. He IS in
cllned TO think that Mr.. Roosevelt will
not shoulder such a responsibility but
viii leave it 70 the convention, with
the assurance that the man they select
Will hecetve his loyal support.
Mr.. PARSONS says that when he left
New York a few days ago, Congress-
man William ;. Bennett, Jacob Gould
Schurmans president of Cornell univer-
slty, and Henry L. StimsOn, former
United States district attorney, were
the men most prominently mentioned
Tor the Republican gubernatOrial nom
inatiOn.
OF the three, it is said that Mr.. Roose-
welt may be partial to Mr.. StimsOn.
Tney are all warm friends Of Presi-
dent Taft and Governor Hughes.
Congressman Bennett is said to be
very popular in New York. He has a
wide acquaintance. and is a member of
the committee on foreign affairs of the
house OF representatives IL was he
who sent the word to San Francisco
that if that city wished TO be considered
in the race for the Panama canal cele-
bration II would be well 10 put a dam
per on the Jeffries-JohnsOn prizefight.
If the nomination goes to an up
state man. Mr.. Parsons considers Mr.
Schurman's chances first class. He was
member of the first Philippine COM
mission appointed by President Will
liam Mckinley, and has a strong fol-
lowing in the state.
StimsOn's Record.
Henry l. StimsOn. former United
States district attorney ia New York
is a quiet and unassuming man, accord
ing 10 Mr.. Parsons but he has a strong
record behind him. StimsOn prosecuted
the rebate cases against the railroads,
and made the sugar trust disgorge
nearly 100000 in the fraudulent
weight cases. He also prosecuted and
sent Charles W. Morse to prison.
