Friends of Governor Frank Wayland Higgins do not think he will run again. The party does not support Charles Evans Hughes, but might warm better to Edgar Truman Brackett whom they know better. John A. Sleicher believes that former Governor Frank Swett Black would also be a good match. Knowing President Roosevelt is friends with Black, Sleicher wonders if Roosevelt might reach out in support to Black.
