When Long Branch became O city,
under legislative enactment, it was
divided into six wards, and each ward
at the last election elected q number
of the County Board of Chosen Free

total number from eighteen to twenty

quoted as saying that 1.-The Public

1t is to be hoped that Councilman

STOKES GIVES UP HIS

4. O. Stokes. yesterday Afternoon
rendered to Governor MURPHY his re
signation as clerk in chancery to taxi
effect January l.. Tine resignation
was forwarded to the governor al
Newark by special messenger.
Mr.. Stokes formally resigned after
a conference with Vivian NJ. Lewis,
counsel of the city of Paterson, who
is to be the new clerk in chancery.
Mr.. Lewis came to Trenton yester-
day afternoon and the conference took
rlace about 5 O'Clock. At its close
the re ignation of Mr.. Stokes was an
nounced.
The resignation was sent to Governor
Murphy with the understanding that
he would formally accept it at once
and Immediately appoint Mr.. Lewis.
Up TO the hour of going to press,
however, no news that the appoint
ment had been made had besn re.
oeived. Mr.. Lewis will undoubtedly
BIZ appointed today. 1t will be an
ad interim appointment, and aftei
the Inauguration of the new governor
Mr.. Stokes WILL appoint him for the
full term.
While the selection of Mr.. Lewis has
been regarded as a piece of tactical
nolisic which would strengthen the
republican party in Passaic county, il
is likely that new complications will
arise over tho selection of q SUCCESSOR
70 Lewis as city counsel of Paterson.
After January | the Paterson com
non connciI, which will have the
naming of the new counsel, will be q
sia politically. This will probably
mean a protracted deadlock over fill.
ing tile position. The republicans
have started a move to have the place
illed next week by the present coun-
oil. which is republican, and it is said
u special meeting for that purpose
has been called for next Wednesday
evening. The democrats are fighting
that proposition and it is not at all
certain that it a be put through.

CHRISTMAS.

The Evening News extends the
greetings of the season to all IL
readers. 1t is doubtful if there is a
holiday that is more generally cele-
brated, tho w%orldover. than Christmas.
Tomorrow the people in every chris
tian land will gather In their churches
and hears the story Of the new born
Saviour and on Monday there will be
the usual ~jollification.
Because Christmas lie SO generally
observed, it has more than the or din
AIRY interest in Perth Amboy. A large
part OF the local population is made
mp ct those who have either came
-fstrn~foreign shores. or have relatives
and friends there! Many of these peo-
pls are now American citizens They
join as heartily in the celebration of
cur Fourth of July, u W%ashington's
Birthday, onr Memorial Day and III
Thanksgiving as do those American
born who can trace their ancestry in
this county back to the revolution.
These holidays they observe. but when
Christmas comes they know that the
loved ones in the home land are
arranging to celebrate the same day.
We may diff er in the manner of OBJ
serving the festival, but it Is all for
the same end, the same story is told
and the fundamental principals of the
day are the same all over the world.
This is what makes Christmas more
dear to our hearts than any other day.
Then, too, there is jolly old st.
Mic, or Santa CLAUS, as his known
in America, VINO comes from his far
off home in the frozen north and
visits every country, every town and
every house all in one night. leaving
the toys and candy for the hoys and
girls. He only comes once a year, and
he brings such delightful things that
it is no wonder Christmas is a holl-
day in a class all by itself. Tonight
he makes this trip and for the next
few weekS his presents will be in
evidence everywhere. 1t is a season
good chsef, mot &forgettipg the real
meaning Of Christmas which will be
observed, in the churches tomorrow.
