Hugo. outside of his own county, JET

For Lieutenant Governor
For second place on the ticket the
srsanization Republicans are discussing
,so men. Senator Charles w. Walton,
d Kingston, and Senator j. Henry Wal
trs, Of Syracuse. Walters, so far, has
developed little strength outside OF
onondaga County, while Walton has
most Of the Hudson River counties, the
Catskill district and counties IN the
sther part of the State and the south
erD tier.
But with the Republicans having
virtually decided on designating Judge
Emory A. Chase, of Greene County, for
he nomination of Associate Judge of
he Court of Appeals to succeed himself,
Senator Walton may have hard sled
Ding
= Senator Walton would be an ideal
for Lieutenant Governor"

lay, but if Judge Chase Isl designated
! is possible that Walton, who comes
rom an adjoining county, might have
. withdraw. However, that is some
hing that will not be decided until
se meet in Saratoga"
There is a third candidate in the
le!d for the second place on the ticket
-George Henry Payne, a member of
he local Tax Board. Payne, however,
las no organization strength behind
