Nor many months will elapse before
there will be q general discussion OF who
will be the Republican candidate for
Governor. Very frequently the name of
former Governor Stokes Is mentioned In
connection with this Office and the latest
story was that he was to be the chosen
one and that he had already been dicker-
ing with some of the leaders In order to
make his selection sure. One story was
that he had sent friend to Governor Fort
with an offer that II the Governor would
appoint Assemblyman Nichols to seat on
the bench of the Court of Errors and
Appeals, Mr. Stokes would, in the event
OF his being elected Governor, return
Governor Fort to the Supreme Court
bench. The other story was that Mr..
Stokes had agreed that if Senator Kean
would allow the former Governor to name
the postmaster at Vineland he would not
enter the race for United States Senator.
These are only samples of the stories that
will be put In circulation from now until
the question Of the Governorship or the
position of United States Senator has been
settled. 1t seems absurd to even attempt
to deny them, yet Mr.. Stokes did come
out with complete denial and said he
was not In position to make any deals,
especially on the Office of Governor. He
has said that he is ready to submit to the
decision of the people on the subject of
United States Senator and is willing to
take his chances In a popular vote for that
office. That he has desire to represent
the state of New Jersey In the highest
branch of the governments legislative
body is well known, and the fact that
there are strenuous efforts being made to
have him switch off to something else
shows that there is reason to fear his
strength before the people But there is
no reason whatever for him to enter into
deals with any one. That he would be
the strongest candidate for Governor the
Republican party can put up is also be-
yond doubt. as is the fact that the party
will need strong man at the head of the
ticket next fall, and when the time comes
Mr.. Stokes will be found ready to grasp
the situation as 1t demands, without enter
ing into deals or com biuations.

TUESDAY, MARCH 8. 1910
RrsIDrNrs of Mount Hollv have !.

RESIDENTS of Mount Holly have been
asked to contribute towards the expense
OF the recent trials of remonstrauces
against hotel keepers here Some have
responded while others have refused. not
because they were not In accord with the
movement, but on account of some of the
methods used by the detectives who
secured the evidence. 1t is reported that
one of the enthusiasts In the case has
spent In the neighborhood of $500 of her
private funds to defray the expenses of
the trials and that the chief of the detec-
tives is hoping to receive from the county
treasury sum that will help him return
to the lady referred to at least portion of
the money she has spent. Perhaps this
report Is not so, but great care should be
used In putting the stamp of approval on
the bills of the law and order men who
were instrumental In getting evidence in
the liquor cases. They were not en-
ployed by the county and have no claim
on the treasury. They did go ahead in
the Riverside cases with the approval of
the Prosecutor of the Pleas and possibly
are entitled to compensation there, but
there does not appear to be any need OF
great expenditure in that connection. The
good of mankind has been the watchword
In these crusades, but the almighty dollar
seems to enter into the matter
