Roosevelt, Sept. 9:-Martin Rock,
republican, and Joseph Childs, dem
ocrat, are in a quandary. According
to the advice Of Borough Attorney
DAILY neither of these gentlemen Is
entitled to run for the office of coun-
Gilman to take the place of Council
mar Harris. In rendering his opin-
ion Mr.. DAILY said that a man does
not have to be a resident of the Dor
ough to hold an elective office. A
resignation of the office of council
man must be accepted by the mayor
and concurred in by q majority of
councilman in the state who tender
ed his resignation, which was re-
fused. The councilman therefore
remained In Office. Mr.. DAILY advised
the borough clerk, Walter V. Quin,
to make no call whatever to fill the
office to which Councilman Harris
had been elected and to ignore all
such petitions.
In answer to Councilman Jeffreys
Mr.. DAILY said he was of the opinion
that no man could hold office In the
borough as councilman unless he
was elected in the place of Council
men Jeffreys and Reason, the retir-
ing members.
In other words, Attorney DAILY
advised council that there was no
vacancy in the council caused by the
absence from the borough of Coun-
Gilman Harris, Mr.. Harris not hav-
Ing as yet rendered his resignation.
Anyone elected on the petition of
Messrs. Rock and Childs would not
be legally elected even if Mr.. Harris
rendered his resignation before cleo
ton.

To the Members of the Republican
Party in Middlesex County :
I am a candidate for the party Mons
ination for A~ssemblyman at the COM
ing Primaries, Tuesday, September
18th.
1 believe that each political division
of the State should have control of it's
local affairs, This is home rule and
includes the question of license. 1 be-
lieve that the best interests of the
State require that the coming legisla-
ture should pass a local option law,
thereby placing New Jersey In line
with over ninety per cent of the
States of the Union. Pennsylvania,
Nevada and New Jersey are the only
States without a law of this kind at
the present time.
L believe that the Public Utilities
Commission should have It's authority
extended to include the control of
State rates.
I believe that the general trend of
legislation and the rulings OF the
courts have been toward the protec-
ton of property, rather than toward
the protection of persons, and that
there should now be a gradual but
certain trend in the other direction.
1 ask the support of the Republican
Party on September 18th.
