friends I'm this city, that he would ac-
cept the republican nomination for
governor If II were rendered to him.
but that he would not be an active
candidate for the reason that he now
holds the position of highway com

he cannot resign the position at this
time as he feels that his first duty is
to remain in the office and finish the
work of the year which is now under
way and demands his constant atten-
ton. To do otherwise would jeopar-
die this work, according to the state
ment of friends. 1t is said that Mr..
