tions will be considered as the pro-
spective candidates and the political

uation.
OF course the big state leaders in
both parties will use these gather
ings to feel out the sentiment as to
candidates for governor and United
States senator. Friends of Senators
William N. Runyon of Union and
William B. Mackay of Bergen will
boost the claim of their respective
candidate for the Republican nomi-
nation for governor. Friends of
State Treasurer William T. Read and
of Frank B. jess of the State Tax
Board are beginning to boom them
for governor and these boomlets
may be heard from on Friday, when
the South Jersey men gather.
In the Democratic ranks there will
be lively discussion as to whether
Gov. Edwards will run for United
States senator and as to whether
Commissioner A. Harry Moore. of
Jersey City. or United States Dis
trict Attorney Elmer E. Geran of
Monmouth county has the best
chance Of landing the nomination
for governor. If the governor de-
clines to be the senatorial candidate
Commissioner Moore will likely run
for governor in which event Mr..
Geran nIhg be the candidate for
United States senator. If Governor
Edwards decides to seek the senator
ship it is. not likely. of course. that
the gubernatorial candidate will also
come from Hudson county and this
situation will. strengthen Geran's
chances fer the nomination for gov
ernor. While Mayor Frederick w.
Donnelly Of Trenton, State Banking
and Insurance Commissioner Tuttle.
Of Union county. and others are
mentioned for the Democratic nomi-
ton for governor. Commissioner
Moore and District Attorney Geran
now seem to be in the lead.
