Likely
to Enter Race?

Another possible candidate for Gov
ernor on the Democratic ticket has
cropped up in the person of John W
Wescottt of Haddonfield, who may
run if it seems TO him to be "a pub
lie duty to run.
Mr.. Wescott is said to be disgusted
with the methods used by some of
the men now in the field, and might
get into the field against all of them.
Asked point blank whether he in
tended to become candidate or not
Mr.. Wescott said II have never be-
lieved in office-seeking. | do not care
to look for any office for the mere
sake of the office. That policy ia
controlling with me as regards the
governorship. IT is true, however,
that many voters have importuned
me. both personally and by letter,
to enter the field II is possible l
may do so.
"I have q greater interest in the
welfare of the State. If l feel that
my being a candidate will be of any
benefit to the State ! shall not hesi-
tate. In other words. if it appeals
to me as a public duty ! shall be a
candidate"
Friends of Wescott'e say that If he
should enter the field for the primary
nomination he will make brilliant
campaign.
