Whitney Talks For Governor If Gaston Declines To Run Again
In Boston the name of Henry M. Whitney, president of the Chamber of Commerce and Metropolitan Steamship Company, is cited as the likeliest Democratic nominee if Colonel William A. Gaston refuses a third bid. Whitney, a wealthy, lifelong Democrat, would bring strong cross-partisan appeal due to his reciprocity stance, though he says the idea is remote. Congressman John R. Thayer of Worcester is another name mentioned if Gaston declines.
