FISH SUPPLY SHORT,
CAUSING HIGH PRICE
Shad, Whiting, and' Pollock Va
rieties Most Plentiful in
Market.

Just at present the supply OF fish on
the local market Is short and there IS
not much prospect Of improvement be-
fore the latter part Of the month. This
is because the Potomac river schools
have not begun TO run TO any consider
able extent and nearly all the stock is
received from the South.
Shad whiting, and pollock are the most
plentiful varieties of FISH 30 be had just
now but most of these are frozen by
the time they are offered for sale The
supply is barely equal TO the demand.
and the result Is that prices remain
firm
Herring, trout, and perch y I'll he the
first Of the Potomac river varieties TO be
placed on the market but IL S no.. like
ly that the season will open for at least
four weeks. In the meantime cOEsu.n-
ers will have to pay the high prices row
In effect, and. for the most part, get
frozen fish.

when the resolution came up for

the section of the resolution eliminated

then introduced a resolution which,, as
amended. was as follows:
Resolved, that the Republican
County Committee of right ought
not, and shall not, use its organiza-
ton, influence or resources in favor
of any platforln-or of any candidate
or set of candidates as against an
other in a primary election.
''The Lehlbach resolution was adopt
ed as a substitute for my resolution
but even this miserable makeshift fol
something real and comprehensive was
defeated by a majority of the members
of the countyscommittee. This occurred
during the administration of the pres
ent chairman.
at is therefore-respectfully submitted
for the consideration of the Republican
voters of Essex county that neither III
the present nor the past chairman OF
the county committee can they n
man whose administration of the affairs
of the Republican party would be foi

find, as they have in the past learned

'Mr. Anderson then announced his
candidacy for chairman of the county
committee, and stated that, If elected,
he would eliminate the boss system,
the control of the county committee by
special privilege: that the power of the
county committee would not be used
for the purpose of forestalling and
usurping the regular party function in
the selection of candidates and adop-
ton of policies; that campaign ass S.
ments should not be made on office
holders under intimidation of loss OF
position; that election expenses should
be curbed and the fullest publicity be
given the affairs of the county com
mittee.
"Mr. Anderson also stated in a pubic
letter to the chairman, dated about De-
cember IL, 1905:
My reasons why YOU should not
be reelected are as follows:
First-You are ineligible under
the constitution of the county
committee, by reason of the fact
that you are president of the State
Board for the Equalization of
Taxes.
~Second-This board is in effect a
court, and ii Is as impossible for

Would be for any of u judges to
