Two From Some States,
This list moreover. does not take
Ito account the fact that at least two
a.e, have two potential candidates
.ca. Thi, is true Of New York, where
ovrror Smith and Senator Cope
md are both regarded as possibilities,
/ New Jersey, where Senator Ed
a-d, and Governor Silzer, in a sense,
re rivals Tor their states support.
)no. too. may be regarded as having
second candidate in former Asso-
late Justice John H. Clarke.
Nor does it take into account the
let that Gov. Jonathan NJ. Davis, OF
a,as, has been much talked about
S a candidate. but has recently said
nat he was out of the deal. Then, too,
Villain J. Bryan proposed a favorite
IN tor Florida in the president of the
florida University, but he, too, has
ken himself out of the equation.
The candidates. OF Underwood, Nc
doc. Ralston, Reed, Cox and Davis
-y OF the most serious character.
aCn has support of a substantial
l|ac,er outside his own state limits,
Ut IT does not appear just now that
'g one OF that group will poll on the
Is, ballot enough votes to make him
lpsar particularly dangerous.
Deadlock Breakers.
Oy,1ers in the group are largely pos
0'tIeS as deadlock breakers. 1t is
stunned on every hand that the con
aaon will soon find itself in tight
"a fast Jam, and that at some stage
Inc conclave one after another of
y leading candidates will be given
ryout, Then, if he fails, he will be
0pDed.
