TRENTON, Nov. 23:-With the
recent election and Republican eau
cuses on the senate and House or
ganization plans for 1929 out of the
way Yesterdays Governors Day"
at the State House saw the attend
ance of large number of politicians
of both the leading political parties
and here and there bit of gossip on
the slate making for next year
struggle when the G. 0. T. and the
Democracy will go to bat for the
election of a governor and a United
States senator.
That Attorney General Thomas F.
McCran, of Paterson, and City Com
missioner Thomas l.. Raymond, of
Newark, will run respectively for
the Republican nominations for gov
ernor and senator at Washington
against State Senator William N.
Runyon, of Union, and the present
senior senator. Joseph s. Freling-
huysen, was one of the interesting
bits of gossip heard in the capitol
corridors. The talk in this connec-
tion was to the effect that the
friends of United States Senator
Walter E. Edge will get back of the
McCran-Raymond combination In
an endeavor to put it across at the
primaries.
From the Democratic standpoint
II seemed to be in the air that Mayor
Archibald, of Newark, and Governor
Edwards, of Jersey City. are the
natural combination which Their
party friends will offer ths voters OF
The state a year hence for governor
and United States senator. The arg
ument in behalf of the Archibald
candidacy is that he comes from the
largest city and county In New Jer-
sew. which has not had governor
for a long time. 1t is conceded on
all sides that Governor Edwards is
the strongest candidate of his party
for tn bout with the G. o. p. IN
1922 for United States senator. The
governor has refused to discuss the
matter so far and it is understood
he has not made up his mind. A
possibility for this place on the
Dem ,cratic ticket. in tn event he
declines, is Banking and Insurance
Commissioner William H. futile. OF
Elizabeth. Mr.. Tuttle knows the
ropes at Washington, having served
several terms there from the fifth
district when elected over Senator
Runyon, who was his Republican
oppon It.
Mention of the Union county
senator game as the Sti oH5Sst hia IL
now for the Republican nomination
for governor next year was general
in the comment heard here. The
chances of Mr.. Frelinghuysen are
not so good for next year. at the
general election at least, according
to the view of seasoned political
observers here. The Somerset coun-
ty citizen who now wears the toga
is reported to have alienated the
friendship of the liberals. the SOL
diers and several other elements
which are factors among the cleo
torate of New Jersey.
There is a viewpoint here which
regards the talk of a McCran-
Raymond combination. If it comes
about as rumored. as a bid for the
North Jersey Republican primary
vote. There has been some discus
sion that the attorney general might
be offered by the Edge forces as a
means to smashing the Democratic
