socia1istic Nominees Will Make Them
selves Eligible to Office.
The mem bers of the Socialist Labor
party have been very much annoyed
lately over a story which has been going
the rounds Of the public with reference to
their candidates for Freeholders.
At the county convention a full ticket
was put in the field, but as all the candi-
dates are not proporty-owners in the city,
and therefore not eligible to candidacy, 1t
was reported that the County Committee
hal agreed with prominent firm of real
estate dealers to furnish these candidates
with one inch of ground. thus circum-
venting the Jaw. This story was emphati-
cally denied by one of the leaders OF the
party, who said:
such a story as this is altogether
ridiculous, and we are very sorry it was
ever started. On our ticket there are
perhaps two or three men who do not own
property in the city, but it will be alto
gether unnecessary for our party to pur-
chase land for them, as they were neso-
tiating for the purchase of property before
there was any tax of naming them as
candidates. In case they do not purchase
any property hey will simply resign. and
the committee on vacancies will name
others in their stead"

products of their gardens and hothouses
come principally from the six counties
surrounding the bay, and, while chrysan-
themums will predomlnate, still nearly
every other flower that grows in the
State will be represented. With the or.
namental plants considerab.e effort will
be made toward artistic effect. In the
past these hower-shows have been given

parture from the events OF former years.

with having violated the Federal eight
hour law in excavating the Postotfice site,
argued Wednesday before, United States

there was no such proceeding known to
