for Governor.

P)-PoHtical observers at New York
states capitol today were more than
ever convinced that the state ticket
this fall will be Miller VS.. Hearst
They are basing this conclusion on
two things:
First. that republican party chief
tains are determined that the pres
ent governor. Nathan L. Miller, shall
run TO succeed himself, in the hope
of grooming him for presidential
timber if he is elected;
Second, that William Randolph
Hearst has the democratic nomina-
ton sewed up in his pocket, IL he
cares to take ii. and according 10
every indication here, ne wants it.
Il has been learned on credible au-

second is that Hearst is believed 70

ton this year, he will be in position
TO command election when he pur-
forward his claim for consideration
as the democratic presidential nomi-
nee two years hence.
This latter is said TO be by those
who know him. Hearst's one big am
bition-to try for the presidential
chair. He is credited with reasoning
that II he can be elected governor
Of New York state. then he is the
logical man 10 be democracy's stand
