DRYDEN
OUT FOR
SENATOR.
Formally Announces That He Is
a Candidate to Succeed Him
SeIf---TO Canvass State.
is 'REGULAR"

United States Senator John f. Dry
den in Newark yesterday formally an
nounced his desire to succeed himself
for full term of six years, and his
intention to begin, as soon as con-
gress adjourns, an active campaign in
every county of the state for the cleo
tion of Legislators favorable to his
candidacy The announcement was
made through colonel Anthony b.
Kuser, son-in-law of Senator Dryden,
land one of Mr.. Dryden's chief lieuten-
ants in the campaign of 1902, when
he was elected to fill the unexpired
term of the late Senator William J..
Sewell.
The formal announcement would
not be made at this time, Mr.. Kuser
said, were it not for the fact that
some doubt appeared to exist as to
Nir. Dryden's candidacy, and that the
regular republican organization de-
sired to go on record with candi-
I date in opposition to George l.. Rec
ord, the accepted candidate of tho
Colby, or new idea" wing of the
party.
senator Dryden is very earnest
candidate for reelection" said Mr..
Kuser, yesterday, "and is willing that
the people of New Jersey should be
apprised, OF the fact now, although
his original intention was to defer
the opening of an active canvass until
after the present session of congress
adjourned.
Mr.. Kuser seemed averse to dis
cussing the assurance of support on
which Mr.. Dryden predicated his re-
quest for reelection until assured
that the public was extremely anx-
ious to know where the state leaders
and others stood and Mr.. Dryden's
real reason for standing as the can
didate for the support of the party
organization.
Mr.. Kuser said he had the positive
assurance of Governor Stokes that he
was for Dryden, and would not be a
candidate against him.
Mr.. Dryden's announcement and
the array of support already pledged
W Ilills dNCOIulu6 w NIL INuoCit VIII
unquestionably make him the regu-
lar organization candidate, and make
the issue at the September primaries
practically the same as II the law pro-
viding an expression of preference for
the Office of United States senator
at the primaries had been enacted at
the last session.
This will force Chandler w. Riker
and other candidates who may APP
pear to formally announce their at
titude the same as Mr. Dryden and
George L. Record, and to make. the
contest at the primaries.

NORTH AMBOY BLAZE GAVE li.
FIREMEN A HARD FIGHT TO
PREVENT FLAMES SPREADING
Alarm Sounded at LIS O'clock
-.MassOpust's Old Building at
8 Wayne Street Destroyed
Chimneys for Blocks
We're SCOrChed.
LOSS is OVER $4,000.

The building at Wayne street
formerly used by Massopust Broth
ers, the owners, and now occupied as
a grocery and butcher shop on the
ground floor and as living apartments
above, was destroyed early this morn
ing bS one of the hottest fires which
ever occurred in North Amboy.
Chimneys within a radius of block
were scorched by the intense heat.
The building and contents were a
total loss.
The loss is placed at $4,000. The
Massopust building, one of the broth
ers stated, was worth $500. They
had $4,000 insurance. The total in
surance was $4,100, including the in
surance carried by the storekeepers.
Midura places his loss at $4,000.
He carried LOO insurance. The
family of Leon Genkuvish, who occu-
pied the apartments over the store.
had no insurance. Their loss was
total.
Origin Unknown.
The origin>of the fire Is unknown.
1t started somewhere at the front of
the store, whether inside or outside
not being known.
The fire blazed up very rapidly and
had gained much headway when dis
covered.
Midura said in a statement thai he
had not been at the store since IL
o'clock yesterday, but the family up
stairs asserted that they bought some
meat in the store at O'Clock last
night. He has a partner, Nicdam.
They reside at IL Lynde street, a
block away from the scene of the
fire.
Made Quick Exit.
The family living upstairs got out
Of the burning building in frantic
haste as the blaze was eating the
framework away at an alarming rate.
The alarm was sounded at 1:15
o'clock by Bert Buchanan, of 45
Parker street. The out taps were not
rhng until $3.50 o'clock
At one time it appeared as though
the firemen would not be able to con-
fine the blaze to the one building,
the water pressure, firemen declared,
being not particularly good. The
steamers aid, however, was effectual
and the cost may, for all any living
man knows, have been saved last
night by the help afforded in quench-
ing the flames. At one time the blaze
was so scorching that 1t tried the
nerve of the firemen to go near 1t.
