Washington, Feb. 20.-That rail-
road land grants should take prece-
dence over entries made by settlers
under the timber and stone act was
the ruling made today by the United

six years before the interior depart
ment ruled that the property should
be included in the disputed lands.

Mr.. G. D. Sullivan,
County Committeeman,
My Dear Sir
1t will be impossible for me to
meet you at Freehold tomorrow,

ter Saturday evening notifying me
that a committee of the school board
would call to look over the hotel on
Tuesday afternoon. This appoint
ment l must meet, therefore l write
you this letter that l may express
my views to some extent in reference
to the coming campaign, fearing that
you may make an effort to have me
endorsed by the county committee
as Its choice for state senator, as you
did before our township executive
committee, where as you know | op-
posed 1t, on the ground that, in my
Judgment, such endorsement was
against the spirit and intent of the
Geran law. In this campaign l de-
sire to have distinctly understood
that l am a candidate for the office
Of state senator Of Monmouth coun-
ty, and shall be, regardless of con-
sequences until the polls close on
primary day. For forty years l have
been a faithful worker for my friends
and my party, and never have l been
rewarded by an office of any kind,
nor have l ever asked for or sought
an office Of any kind except to rep
resent my county in the state sem
ate.
l have been called Senator" since
the fake" convention in 1896, and
1t is a matter Of history. Either DR..
Beach, of EatentoWn, or myself
should have been the regular Demo-
cratic nominee for state senator. and
1t Is now time that that wrong should
be righted. And l propose to submit
that question for the consideration
of the people, in this contest. With
pleasure | enclose my petition that
you may present it for such sigma
lures as are willing to sign 1t. With
kind regards to all, 1 am faithfully,
and sincerely a Democratic Candi-
date for State Senator.
Yours,
w. e. ANDREW.
