SENATE PETITION
FILING DATE SET
Question Answered in Ruling
by Assistant Attorney-Gen-
eraI GaskiII.
TFrom a stan correspondent.J


STATE HOUSE, Trenton, Aug. I'll
Nelson B. Gaskill. assistant attorney
general, today in an opinion to Sec
rotary of State Crater says that
petitions for participation in the pri-
mary election for nomination TO the
United States Senate must be filed
by September 3, or twenty-one days
prior to the primary election, which
is September "a. Mr.. Gaskill's opinion
reads.
The secretary of state shall, ct
least twenty days prior to the hold
ing of the primary election, certify
1.-THE list of candidates to the various
county clerks. This would necessar-
lily include a list of candidates for
United States senator. The election
law specifically states the time for
filing petitions of nomination for
Governor and congressman, but
makes no reference to the time for
filing petitions for nominations to the
United States Senate. In view of the
lack of a definite period fixed by the
statute 1t would seem to me that
such petitions could properly be filed
up to the time when the secretary of
state is obliged to certify the list OF
candidates to the various county
clerks. Certainly no petition could
be received later than this date.
These petitions therefore should be
fled twenty-one days before the
holding Of the primary election, in
order that the secretary of state may
comply with the statutory duty OF
c~ertihcation

NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-That part

with whom he had spent the eve
ming:
You go along. I'm tired Of this
thing. I'm going to kill myself"
AS the girl fed Rogers drew a
revolver and sent a bullet through
his brain.
The police believe the name Rogers
was an assumed one, for on the mans
watch fob were the initials "A. w.
r." and the same initials were en-
graved on his cuff links. Rogers
came here about a month ago. He
was evidently a man e means, for
much jewelry and a large roll of bills
were found on his clothing.
The girl told the police that Rogers
had torn the tab out of his hat and
coat during the evening. .
