He wants to consult with his campaign manager and with New Jersey friends, he said, before he decides whether he will re- tain his office or res1gn [ 7 It is generally accepted that he will not resign as there are plenty of pre- cedents, the most noteworthy being in the case of Grover Cleveland, where a presidential candidate retained his of flee until after the presidential cleo tion z ,4s
