Chanler seen as leading gubernatorial option in Democratic talks
Albany July 5. Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler is discussed as the strongest Democratic pick for Governor if he cannot be placed second on the Presidential ticket. State leaders note Chanler may resist a gubernatorial run, with W Caryl Ely of Erie, Marion Glynn, John S Whalen, Julius Hauser, and Frederick Skene among possible contenders, while Jackson could be renominated if others are. A prediction suggests all current officers may be renominated with Ely as governor, echoing a Republican “joke ticket” precedent from 1893 and 1895.
