were rumors spread by the STAN

elected Governor. already has
chosen a successor to succeed
him in the State Senate.
Mr.. HasSan did not say who
the reported successor is but it is
understood that the name of Ed

Nothing is further from the
truth" Mr.. Hassan said. You,
the voters, will name Charlie

Mr.. HaSsan went on to label
Mr.. Stanley as a "hand-picked,
me-tooer who never once has

until after public reaction has
enthusiastically accepted the
published Fenwick program"
