Lewis In Monmouth.

Long Branch Oct. 11:-Old time
enthusiasm marked the opening of
the Monmouth county republican
campaign at Port au Peck yesterday,
when Vivian M. Lewis, nominee for
governor, and several of his party
leaders were given big reception.
It was perhaps the most novel recep-
tion of it's kind, being accompanied
by a monster clambake, which more
than six hundred workers in Mon
mouth county enjoyed. All the lead
ers, from the state senator to cor
oner, were present around the fest
i've board, as well as the prospective
members of assembly and candidates
for city and county offices. Never
has there been such a gathering in
the historic Port au Peck hotel, even
the famous Joel Parker clambake
being outdone.
Mr.. Lewis held an informal recep-
tion at the close of his three-Quar-
starting for Lakewood, where he
spent the night Today he began
tour of Ocean county. Before Mr..
Lewis left, the republican leaders got
together and figured out probable
maJOrlJl6S. Inc NeTulCt was. Mon
mouth for Lewis by not less than
600" They figure that Mr.. Lewis
will run stronger than Governor
Fort on account of the club houses.
While there were half a dozen af-
ter dinner speakers introduced by
the toastmaster. Sheriff c. E. F.
Hetrick, only two spoke at length,
Mr.. Lewis and Attorney General Ed
mund Wilson, of Red Bank. Mr..
Lewis said he stood squarely on the
state platform OF his party and il
elected governor would endeavor to
carry out the promises made to the
people. He compared the state of
affairs at present to the time when
John w. Griggs was elected gov
ernor. 'oThe republican party" said
he, rs a party Of progress. 1t has

feared today that the majority of the

up claims In this vicinity are victims
of the forest fires. Although it has
been four days since the fires broke
out, not more than handful of the
homesteaders have been heard from.
Many charred bodies were found
along the tracks of the Canadian and
Northern railroad and the fact that
thesv bodies were discovered by acct

others perished.

In speech III the national conserva-
tion congress in ST. Paul on Sept. q

BERLIN, July 6.-German foreign
policy is likely to experience vigor-
Gus change through the retirement OF

German politics. He was acting for

crisis In the spring OF 1909, and is I'M
derstood to have been personally re-
sponsible for the policy which resulted
In Russia's recognition of the annexa-
ton Of Bosnia and Herzegovina by
Austria under direct coercion from
Germany. Won Kiderlen-Wachter. who
is popularity known as ''the Dumping"
owing to his fondness for that
famous South German specially, has
been stationed at Bucharest as the
German minister for the last ten years
but had many special assignments in
the meantime, including frequent rep
reservations OF Baron Won Marshall
Won Bieberstein as Ambassador at
Constantinople.
The new secretary ranks as an ex-
pert on affairs of the Near East, and
German interests in that region of con,
| fiiot are certain to be actively looked
| after under his regime.
Won Kiderlen-Wachter's pugnacious
individuality was manifested few
