The Assembly Candidates.
The Middlesex County Democra
tic Executive Committee unqualified
ly indorses the record of William e
Ramsay, John V. l.. Booraem ant
Edward Burt as the assem- blymeI
from this county during the pas
year. Honesty, Intelligence and faith
full persevering work marked theil
entire term. BY their character ant
official labor they have reflected
honor on their county and credit OF
their party.
"In the selection of assembly can
didates, the democracy has always
continued to recognize the old as
sembly district lines, knowing tha
the people of this county believed
as matter of fairness and proper
geographical representation, tha
what was formerly a matter of ac
tual legal requirement was then ant
ever since has been the fairest anC
best method of selection, and that ne
POLITICAL manouvering can honestly
Justify a deviation from a recogni
tion of the old assembly district
lines.
Dr. Ramsay was our representa-.
tive from the territory embraced IN
the old first assembly district; Mr.
Burt from the old second assembly
! district; Mr.. Booraem from the old
third assembly district. This com
mittee recommends to the democracy
of the county of Middlesex the re-
nomination and reelection of DR.
Ramsay and Mr.. Booraem. Mr.
Burt, of his own yolition entirely
has declined to stand as a candidate
for reelection. and the reasons for
his declination to stand for this par
ticular office at this particular time
while entirely the result of his own
Judgment, yet it. evidences the true
metal of manhood.
''Mr Burt's declination leaves the
necessity of the democracy to~select
a representative from the old second
assembly district, and for the nomi-
nation of assemblyman, as the rep.
resentative from thfs district, we
recommend and endorse the eandi-
ldacy OF Mr. August c. Streitwolf
