STATE HOUSE, TRENTON, Aug. 1.
rhara has been considerable specuia-
ton In Republican circles for the last
two weeks as to the identity of the
"Bie Man whose name as a candidate
has not been mentioned" and there are
many who now believe that the name
will be Edward Casper Stokes, who
was elected to the office six years ago
by the largest majority ever given any
candidate for that Office in this state,
and who is now an aspirant for the
Republican primary Endorsement for
United States Senator.
The former Governors name as
candidate for a second term Is used
without knowledge on his part, for he
has repeatedly stated his attitude on
the gubernatorial situation and reiter-
ates that he Is very much in earnest
in the senatorial race.
Anxious for senatorship.
"I entered the contest for the pri-
mbary Endorsement for election as
United States Senator in good faith" y
said former Governor Stokes today,
land the outcome is in the hands of
the Republican voters of the State. My
intentionsr was announced coincident
with the circulation of the necessary
nominating petitions and will be fled
as required by law"
The fact that the Stokes nominating
petitions have not been filed occasioned
some comment at Sea Girt last Thurs
day. and started the rumor that he
had been induced by the leaders to

The former governor says there was
no foundation whatever for the sup
position that he would not file his
petition. The law requires a petition
signed by LOCO voters and verified in
the manner provided for all nominating
petitions to be filed with the secretary
