Senator Warner Miller. is candidate for the
Republican nomination for member of Assembly
from the Herkimer district came as surprise
He is said to be the candidate of the Hughes
forces in the county He says he is in favor OF
direct primaries.
The situation is somewhat complicated by the
fact that Edward NJ. Brown. young Herhiner
lawyer is also a candidate and stands on the
same platform of primary reform The men De
hird Mr.. Miller. however. declare that Mr. Brown
has stolen their thunder. but that he win not
make strong candidate.
Mr.. Brown is viewed by some utilizing the
Hughes sentiment to get into office. while it IS
said that the candidacy of Mr.. Miller is the re-
suIt Of a conference held by some of the Hughes
leaders In the county.
