MCCRAY’S HAT NOW IN RING

Kentland Man Again Seeks Repqblican Gubernatorial Nomination. As was generally expected, Warren T. McCray of Kentland has again shied his hat in the ring for the Republican nomination for governor. It is not believed that the Goodrich machine will support McCray, as Goodrich is said to have been much peeved at the lavish expenditure of money by McCray in the last gubernatorial campaign, to secure the nomination, making it very expensive for James P. to land the place. The latter is said never to have gotten over this, and his influence and that of the machine he controls win likely go to the support of some other candidate. Lieut.-Governor Bush is no doubt the best man yet in the race for gubernatorial honors, but Bush consistently fought Goodrich’s pet measures in the late lamented legislature, and there is said to be much bitterness between him and James P. as a result of such opposition. Therefore it is not likely that Goodrich and his machine will support Bush unless it comes to the ipolnt of' choosing between the two evils.
