Murphy Named for Congress in Fall Bid
General Cogswell faces opposition to renomination in the Salem District while discussions among Republicans tilt toward Lieutenant Governor William H. Haile for Governor and Postmaster Thomas N. Hart for Lieutenant Governor. Haile is seen as the party’s strongest man and Hart could boost Boston votes. Hart may accept the Governor nomination if party leaders and the public favor it. The Lt Governor’s salary is lower but duties are lighter, and Hart may pursue the top job via promotion from the lieutenant governorship.
