National Affairs: Friends & Candidates

Few months ago David Sinton Ingalls resigned as Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Aeronautics, got the Republican nomination for Governor of Ohio. Remaining in the Cabinet was his Yale and Wartime friend Frederick Trubee Davison, Assistant Secretary of War for Aviation.

Flying from Washington to the Pacific Coast last week Assistant Secretary Davison declared himself a candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor of New York. His announcement was in the form of a telegram to James L. Downey, State Committeeman of Long Island's swank Nassau County, thanking him for his offer to withdraw as candidate for Attorney General in order to allow Mr. Davison, also of Nassau, a chance to head the ticket.
