MERELY
MENTIONED

The Republicans are certainly III a
sad plight As if they did not have
enough trouble on their hands because
of the scramble to get possession of the
campaign fund, several Of the Assembly
candidates threaten to get off the ticket
unless Assemblyman Robert Scott with
draws his candidacy. They say that
with Scott on the ticket the Republican
orators will be badly handicapped in their
efforts to convince their hearers that the
Republican party favors Equal Taxation.
Assemblyman Scott, it is charged, open
" opposed taxation reform last winter.
Scott, who has the friendship of the diff
ferent police. departments, has NO inten-
tion of getting offeshe ticket. He sees
no reason why he should. He was the
only Republican Assemblyman elected
last fall and this, he said, is suftiGeEf
proof Of his popularity. The police are
standing by Scott and it looks as if the
Republicans will have to take their metli-
cine. If there are any candidates who
want to decline. they are at liberty TO do
or against Scott?
