anxious that their choice be selected, but
they did not go so far as to request the
Governor, in case he could not accede to
their request, to allow the present Dem
ocratic candidate to remain in office for
another year.
Acting under the instructions of the
last county convention the chairman of
that body has appointed the committee to
revise the rules of the Republican party.
Following are the names of the committee:
Samuel A. Atkinson, Mount Holly; Will
liam L. James, Riverton; Henry ]. Trick,
Vincentown; Newton Morton, Florence;
Assemblyman Charles Wright Columbus.
During a conversation at Trenton on
the subject of Prosecutor of the Pleas a
gentleman said to one of the Assembly
men that THE News expected to get tel
ephone message in time for its edition of
Tuesday announcing the appointment of
Samuel A. Atkinson. The reply was
"Well, he won't get any such message if
l can prevent it," And the funny part of
it was that the message was received and
bulletin posted before the Assembly
man, right on the scene, knew that the
name of Mr.. Atkinson had been sent in.
