The newspaperdls|««tche» from Wash inKU.n a fortnight ago noted the cordial relations existing detween Goeernor Kdwanl C. blokes of this Sute and 1'realdenl Kooseveit The occasion which brought out this intimacy of ideas was the unveiling of the statue o( Urn. Geoige B. McClellan, a former governor of this sUte. at Washington last Thursday. While attending the ceremonies Governor Stokes was on the stand beside President Kooseveit and

cabinet officers.

It is understood that the governor is again to go to Washington shortly to discuss the political situation with the president, and there ia talk that in case Secretary Taft or any other man west of New York State is named for presi dent bv the Republicans that Governor Stokes is the most likely man to be nominated for vice-president. All Sooth Jersey would be glad to see the most excellent political career of the governor rounded out in the second highest office of the nation, and they have hopes that in case this should happen that he might succeed by election to the presidency. As matters stand today, he would without doubt be New Jersey's choice for the vicepresidential nomination.
