His name was placed in nomination
by the Essex County Republican Com

Today the former Governor makes
the first public announcement of his
willingness to enter the lists and battle
for the high honor.
In his statement of acceptance. Mr..
Murphy expresses appreciation of the
fact that his candidacy has received the
support of those who know him best.
and ne shows a willingness to enter
vigorously on the campaign for the
senatorial toga, announcing that "the
atmosphere of political strife Is pleas
ing" to him.
His reference to Senator Kean is
especially gracious. Although a candi-
date in opposition to him, the former
Governor displays his fairness and
magnaminity by insisting that the able
and efficient service of the senior sena-
tor in behalf OF the State should not be
overlooked.
Mr.. Murphy when seen by an EVE
MING STAR man at his home, in
South Broad street, this morning was
in particularly happy mood. The in
dorsement of the county committee
was before him and plans for his COM
ing campaign were being formulated.
To the EVENING STAR man he said:
l1t oh a1
of the resolutions by the county COM
mittee last night. and am especially
pleased at the unanimity and enthus-
iasm with which this was done. My
name has been mentioned In connec-
tion with the senatorship for some
time, as 1t has been with other offices
OF Importance. as IL activity In public
affairs implies ambition for office as
matter of course.
IT am glad to believe that the number
Is by no means few, of those who take
4 the highest pleasure In being OF SUBJ
stantial service to their fellow citizens
quite outside of any desire for office.
IT enjoy the atmosphere and associa-
ton of political life and should feel
1T a high honor to be chosen to the
Senate That those who know me best
pledge their support so handsomely is
a high personal compliment which l
fully appreciate.
1 Senator Kean, whose term will soon
expire, has served the State ably and
efficiently; more so, I think than is
generally recognized. ana tnis, In tne
friendly contest that is likely to ensue,
should not be overlooked
"Will you take advantage or the
primary law and go before the people

asked the EVENING STAR man.
INC. will not replied the former
Governor. refiectively. Il am not con-
vinced that such plan is the one
that should be adopted. have no
criticism, however, to make or MI
Stokes's act in pleading to the voters,
