From Tho Jersey City Journal.
Colonel 8 d. Dickinson the chief In the Hudsof
County Republican councils stirred local ana otau
POLITICAL circles to-day by reading me tot &C, m
Two state Senators Who the Colonel rd 5nns sscrns
needed legislation during the last few YEAR,
those gentlemen, but II is plain that his shafts
are aimed at Senator William NJ. johnson, OF Der
gen County, and Senator Mahlon Pltney, or MOTT"
Both of these gentlemen are being mentioned fo'

senators that they need expect no support az 'hs
State Chairman Franklin Murphy is heralded al

when an Evening Journal reporter called upor
him at his office In Hoboken:

We have repeatedly asked for the passage Of

Impression Is that have had all tho experience

should be no other candidate considered.
His great ability. loyalty TO party unparalleled

VIII be very easily nominated regardless Of the
ambitions Of any bucolic Senator.
Mr.. Murphy is man with blood In his
body He Is neither an icicle an migrate. He
has head with brains. instead OF being proficient
only as the possessor OF unkempt hair and a peren-
NAL smile.

III Mr.. Murphy were elected Governor do not
believe he would go to Monmouth County for a
Circuit Court Judge for Hudson County, to New
York for District Court Judge for Hoboken, or to
Bayonne for District Court Judge for Jersey
City
II do not believe Mr. Murphy believes in harmon
izing the party in that way.
In thus expressing my Views have given voice
70 my personal opinions. but am quite sure that
they are shared by many other Republican workers
