Want Senator Arnold to Make Run at Large
Several Republicans discussed potential candidates for the General Assembly. Senator Thomas Arnold may be urged to join Major Thomas Boudren on the ticket as a running mate. Arnold’s friends see him as a strong citywide mayoral candidate next year. The Democratic side lists three nominees for representative: William W. Bent, Joshua Meltzer, and William L. Zepp. Alderman Robert H. Gould seeks renomination from the First district. Former Alderman George W. King faces voter disfavor over public service corporate ties and the 20 year water contract. Charles Poland, a White Mfr Co employee, is urged for the aldermanic nomination in the 12th district, possibly succeeding George Zink Jr. as district chair. In the 21st district, Frederick Atwater may be considered for senator. he leads pavement and recently presided as L. A. W. president in Boston. John N. Near’s police and charities duties may preclude active legislature attendance. In the 22nd district, opposition to Archibald McNeil complicates candidate recruitment. Arnold declined renomination, DeLaney refused. Some hopefuls wonder if party leaders view them as expendable when defeat seems certain.
