1t is to be hoped that the fears of the
friends of Stenographer John A. Nugent
that Justice Fox may bring his own
stenographer along with him when he
comes to Hudson County to preside in
the late Jonathan Dixon's place, are not
warranted. Mr.. Nugent has been a faith
full public servant and if were displaced
it would be a calamity. Mr.. Nugent was
good enough for Justices Knapp, Lip
pineott and Dixon and his friends will
find that Justice Fort will declare him
good enough for him.

MERELY
MENTIONED

Mayor Pagan and his cabinet are still
struggling over the problem of how to
select candidate for the clerkship of
the Second Criminal Court without caus-
ing trouble. There are so many aspirants
for the S1.SOO a year job, each one of
whom insists that he is more entitled
to it than the other that the Mayor
is at loss which one to select. If merit
and not political pull counted, there
wouldn't be half the trouble or there
wouldn't be so many candidates. The
easiest way for the Mayor to settle the
question is to forget that he is political
boss and allow Judge Manning the
privilege of making the appointment.

ago would have been approved by the
