TWO TICKETS
IN FIELD BY
REPUBLICANS
Strong Faction Likely to
Run W. H. C. Jackson for
County Clerk.
Inn HANSON IN THE
FIGHT FOR ASSEMBLY
Conger Mea Favor Present
FreehoIders and Strong
May Accept Them Also.

The two forces in the republican
ranks are lining up in battle array for
the coming struggle at the primaries. 1t
is now practically certains that both
sides will have complete tickets in the
field and it will be for the republican
voters to say which set of candidates
they will have.
The tentative tickets for the two
sides are as follows:
Strong's Ticket.
Senator-Dr. F. G. Henry, of Perth
Amboy
Assembly-William C. Voorhees,, of
Cranbury; DR.. l.. J. Belloff, of New
Brunswick; r. P. F. Won Minden, of
New Market.
County Clerk-William H.. G. Jack
j rCoroner-Dr. Beekman, of sayre-
willie.
Conger's Ticket.
Senator Edward w. Hicks, of New
Brunswick.
Assembly-John Hanson, Of Perth
Amboy; John Wyckoff, of Plainsboro;
r. P. Fvon Minden, of New Market.
County Clerk-John II. Conger, of
Coroner-Elias Mason, of South Am
boy.
The freeholders are still unsettled. 1t
IS understood, however, that the Con-
ger faction is satisfied with the pres
ent board and will have the names of
all five on the ticket for denomination.
There is report that Dory Strong has
practically made up his mind to en-
dorse the same men.
A report came from New Bruins
wick this morning that it was ru-
mored there that DR.. Frank c. Henry
had withdrawn from the race for the
state senator nomination. DR.. Henry,
when told of the rumor today,
smiled and said: 81 have nothing to
say"
John Hanson, who Is after one of
the assembly nominations, is at
work. Today his petition is being
circulated by his friends. The petit
tion at noon was nearly filled and
his friends feel certain that he will
~/be one of the three candidates for
election.
Mr.. Hanson is a former freehold
er and has always been hard
political worker although when he
was defeated at the primaries in
1907 for a denomination by William
T. Stacey he was inclined for time
to brood over what he called a
"throw-down." Last year, however,
Mr.. Hanson buried the hatchet and
was one of the hardest workers the
party had.
He Is now engaged in the real
estate business in this city and his
friends declare that his nomination
Is assured. That all the enmity be-
tween Mr.. Hanson and Mr.. Stacey is
over is denoted by the fact that Mr..
Hanson is securing names on Mr..
Stacey's petition for denomination
for freeholder.
1t was stated yesterday that the
Conger faction would probably name
a local man for the assembly to op-
pose DR.. l.. j. Beloff, of New Bruins
wick, whom the Strong faction has
chosen in place of McKeag. The
looming up of Mr.. Hanson's name
this morning makes it appear that
the Conger people got busy in the
meantime and that Hanson Is their
man. William C. Voorhees,, of Gran
bury, whom "Dory" has decided to
run again, will not be accepted by
the Conger crowd and John Wyckoff,
of Cranbury, will probably be put
up. R. p F. Won Minden, it is gem
orally understood, will be on both
republican primary tickets.
Democrats Favor Brodhead.
A petition for Garret A. Brodhead
for freeholder on the democratic
ticket is in circulation and has al
ready received number of sigma
lures. The petition was put in cir
culation yesterday by Mr. Brod-
heads friends, who feel certain that
he can be one of the nominees Mr.
Z Brodhead has agreed to accept the
nomination If 1t is secured.
There will be an important meet
ing of the democratic county COM
mittee in the Elks' rooms at New
Brunswick this afternoon, when en-
dorsements will be made. That Ber-
nard NJ. Cannon will be endorsed for
county clerk looks even more favor
able today than it did yesterday, and
1t would not be surprise If Mr..
Bfodhead was also endorsed for
freeholder, Notwithstanding the fact
that Joseph G. Burns has petition
out.
