County Politics.
County politics are becoming more and
more interesting There has been good
deal said already and much of it amounts
to but very little.
There will be four candidates named on
the ticket this fall, candidate for Sena-
tor, one for Coroner and two for members
of the Assembly.
At present there seems to be but two
| candidates for Senator. Vineland papers
announce that owing to the Judiciary
| law being declared unconstitutional, r.
P. Tuller, the lawyer, will be a candidate
| to succeed Senator Stokes, and will have
eighteen delegates from Landis township.
| Mr.. Tuller is not backward i'll ANNOUNCE
| ing his candidacy, and is doing some
hustling.
| Senator Stokes is a candidate to succeed
himself. He has held the position but
one term, and his friends are of the opin-
| ion that his distinguished services while
a member of the Senate, entities him to
| another turn, and are earnestly support
| ing him. He, himself, announces his
desire to return to the upper house, and
| is willing to try conclusions with the
| candidate from Landis.
In the Assembly contest it is unusually
considered that one member should come
| from one end of the county and the other
from the opposite side. Hon. B. II.
Minch has been in the Assembly one
term and naturally desires to succeed
| himself. His representation of the
county's interests has been such that the
people are willing that he should be re-
| turned, and he will undoubtedly receive
the nomination by acclamation, without
a dissenting voice raised against him.
| For the remaining nomination there
will be contest. Hon. Thomas F.
Austin wants a third term, and has an
nounced his candidacy and declares that
| he will continue a vigorous campaign
from now until the time the convention
meets. His friends are also active in his
behalf.
DR.. e. H. Bidwell ex-Coroner FROM
! Vineland, will contest Mr.. Austin for this
| honor, and will begin Immediately an
active fight for the nomination, and for
him, his friends claim an element or
strength that will be surprising.
| The County Convention will be held at
| the Court House on the 3rd of October,
while one week later, the 10th of October,
the Assembly Convention will be held in
Vineland.
There is absolutely little talk about the
Coronership, and it will be given to some
one in the lower townships.
