Senate will speak for New Jersey in a Southern drawl, acquired in his native North Carolina. Third Republican to drop out was Rhode Island's rich, conservative Jesse H. Metcalf, who lost to rich, scholarly Theodore Francis Green, lawyer and banker, close friend of Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes.
