PROMINENT MEN FAVORING HIM

Trenton, September 17.-That New

the Republican nominee for governor

Bugbee's platform is the most practical
and forward looking of any announced
by other candidates and there is also
a strong belief that the state comp

administration and his knowledge of
finance and general business, will be
able to carry out his pledges to the
people.
