Political Matters.

Governor Fort has settled the question
of appointments of members of the Coun-
ty Boards of Taxation, and the commits
sions of those he has named have arrived.
They continue the appointees in Office
until "the end of the next Legislature. "
Thomas G. Ehreve was reappointed for
this county, and will sit with the Board
next week.
There will undoubtedly be contest for
the Republican nomination for Senator,
and the struggle will not be confined to
two persons Already two names have
been mentioned and 1t is possible both of
the persons will get into the fight. These
gentlemen will certainly make the con-
test interesting. and the present situation
will be materially changed.
Henry p Thorn, of Medford, ia not a
candidate for the Republican nomination
for Senator.
The Republican nomination for County
Clerk is not attracting very much atten-
tion just now, but 1t will probably come
to the surface as the days grow longer.
George N. Winner is looking the field
over very carefully, and there appears to
be feeling that he is entitled to recogni-
ton, but Harry L. knight also has many
friends who want him taken care of.
Harry has not yet declared his candidacy,
but he is keeping his ear to the ground,
and will see how the cranberry crop is
going to turn out.
There will be merry time down In
Ocean county this fall over the nomina-
ton for Senator. Hardly week passes
without a new candidate coming into the
field. The latest is Thomas A. Mathis,
who gained his entrance into political life
by being appointed Commissioner of Pr
lotage. This makes a half dozen candi-
dates on the Republican side thus far.
There will be three elections this year,
as fellows: Tuesday, September "A
Special election to pass on proposed Con-
stitutional amendments Tuesday, Sep
TENDER 2S-open primaries for the election
of Republican and Democratic county
committeeman, and to nominate candi-
dates for county offices. Tuesday, Novem-
Der general election.

Ocean County.

1t is said that John H. Horner, propri-
etor of the Laurel House at New Egypt,
has not sold his hotel as reported. Hor-
ner was granted license at the April
term of court, but only for six months.
1t was reported he had sold his house,
the sale being contingent on the license
being granted, to Floyd H. Rogers, Of
Vincentown, for $4,000 When Rogers
learned, however. that the license was 8
probationary one. SO to speak, only to last
six months, and that Judge Berry had
said there were too many licenses in New
Egypt, and one at least must be cut out,
he refused to take the hotel from Horner,
SO the story is told. At any rate Hornel
is still in possession of the hotel.

operation by May, 1911. A consulting
engineer will be engaged to discuss the
