groups. Then they split and voted
normally for the rest Of the ticket.
Mr.. Roosevelt in 1896 for the first
time had almost the unanimous
support of all elements of the
party. He would not have such
concentrated support this year.
The Democratic primary will be
held September II.
Attorney General Dever is ex-
pected to be the candidate for
Governor. Roger w. Putnam,
Mayor of Springfield, is mentioned
as possible candidate for lieuten-
ant governor. President Roosevelt,
in conferences with State party
leaders, is said to have suggested
such a harmony" ticket. James
H. Brennan, a former member of
the Governors council, also is likely
to be a candidate for lieutenant
governor. He was Mr.. Curley's
running mate in the last election,
opposing Gov. Saltonstall.
Francis E. Kelly, former lieuten-
ant governor, also has announced
he will be candidate against Mr..
Dever for the Democratic nomina-
ton for Governor. Little stock Is
taken in his candidacy except that
he is believed to be really working
in the Republican interests to break
up the Democratic vote. Mr.. Curley,
who may oppose Mr.. Dever, would
put up a far better campaign, it is
said, and be more active than Mr..
Kelly.
Proctor Aspires to Position.
To replace Mr.. Dever as attorney
general the outstanding Democratic
aspirant is Edward o. Proctor, now
assistant attorney general. There is
some talk that District Attorney
Thomas J. Moriarity of Hampden
County may be candidate. He was
in conference in Washington last
week with Justice Murphy. Mr.
Moriarity has made a good record
Representative Joseph Casey also
has been urged to seek the post, but
has told friends he has decided not
to make the race. He was, 1t is said,
suggested by President Roosevelt.

majority of them feel reasonably
certain that President Roosevelt will
be third-term candidate and that

support him. They feel sure that If
he is nominated he will be elected
Some of those who claim to be in

sincerely desires support of his own
candidacy, that he feels that some

was four years ago.
There are so many aspirants for

Mr.. Curley's candidacy, for what

will put on good re-convention

the party chances, because, quietly

breaking up the party vote and-as

concerned"
In his ambition to be Democratic
National Committeeman, Mr.. Cur
ley Is quietly opposed by Attorney
General Paul A. Dever, who will be
the party candidate for governor,
and by Senator Walsh, who is seek
ing re-election-both of whom are
working in close cooperation with
Mayor Tobin. Mr.. Curley does not
have the support of the party ma
