Candidates For Governor. From The New York Times. Down In the lower part of the State they have already begun to groom Representative John J. Gardner aa Senator Stoke'a rival for the Republican nomination for Governor next year. The people of the Second District would lie vla.l to send Mr. Gardner to Washington to re prevent tnein till the end of his days. But be is willing to give up the life birth for three years occupa c; of the chair of State at Trenton. Twi years ago Mr. Stokes seemed to have tilings all hia own way for the nomination. Mr. Gardner will take from him some of the local bucking he exi>ected to command in the convention, v McKinley’s former First Assistant Postmaster General, William M. Johnson of Hackensack, will have the North Jersey field largely to himself. Republicans regard the possibility of an iutcrer triangular contest for the favor of the convention with the more complacency liecause either of the aspirants would make a worthy successor to Gov. Franklin Murphy.
