TO YE EDITORS

Benjamin F. 8. Brown, Of Mata-
wan, who aspires for nomination on
September "a, as the regular Re-
publican candidate for congress from
the Third Congressional District, and
who Is editor and proprietor Of the
Matawan Journal and the Keyport
Weekly, has made a personal appeal
to the editors Of all the newspapers
in the district to assist him II they
can consistently do so.
One of the points or which Mr..
Brown places special stress Is the
fact that his name will appear on
the primary ballot followed by these
words, pledged to Progressive Poll
cies." He has made a strong pull"
for the Endorsement of the Progress
sive party in this district, but 1t Is
very probable that Mark o. Prentiss,
Of Metuchen, will be the candidate
of the Roosevelt followers. Mr..
Brown will be opposed for nomina-
ton by w. w. Ramsay, of Keans-
burg, who Is we'll known In that Sec
ton Of Monmouth county.

LONG RUN ON
MOTORCYCLES
Arthur La Roe and ]. R.
Rosenberg to Start.

Arthur La Roe and John r. Ro-
senberry, of this city, will start in a
motorcycle u through a large part
of this state and the' lower section
of New York state tomorrow night.
The contest, which is to be held I'M
der the auspices of the New Jersey
Motorcycle Club, has been attempted
several times before, but each time
was called off on account Of inclem-
ent weather conditions. 1t was last
attempted at the early part of this
month.
The motorcyclist entered are
scheduled to start from headquarters
of the New Jersey Motorcycle Club in
Newark at 7:30 o'clock tomorrow
night and are to finish at the motor
drome in Newark by $50 o'clock
Sunday night. They are scheduled
to pass through this city down Am
boy avenue, Prospect street and over
the county bridge between 7:15 and
7:4b o'clock tomorrow night.
There is a likelihood that Mr.. La
zoe, VINO Z TT &C. 15ert 90 the
Indian motorcycle, will ride with the
Indian team to be composed of three
riders. Two from Newark have en-
tered on the team. He had origi-

WHY CEBHARDT
CAN WITHDRAW
Assistant Attorney General
Sets Forth His Opinion.
from the NEWS corrsspondent.J

Trenton, Sept. 13.-The reasons
why in his judgment Secretary of
State Crater is warranted in receiv-
ing the de~clination of State Senator
William c. Gebhardt as a Demo-
cratic candidate for United States
Senator and in notifying the various
county clerks of the withdrawal, was
given yesterday afternoon by Assist
ant Attorney General Nelson b. Gas
kill in a written opinion rendered
to Assistant Secretary of State Job.
H. Lippincott. Mr.. Gaskill gave his
written opinion after having render
ed the verbal decision of the same eff
feet and which was announced yes
terday. The question which the At
torney General Department was ask
ed to decide was whether Mrh Geb-
hardt had complied with the law in
filing his Withdrawal thirteen days
before the primary election. The
opinion follows, In part.
I'm my Judgment the Secretary of
State Ia warranted in receiving the
declination and in notifying the
clerks of the various counties of the
state not to print upon the pri-
mary ticket the name of William C.
Gebhardt as a candidate for endorse
ment for United States Senator.
Il base this conclusion upon para
graph A of the Secretary of States
pamphlet of 1912, which provides
that when any person nominated
for public office by any of the modes
in this act provided, shall, at least
thirteen days before the day Of cleo
ton, in a writing signed by him and
duly acknowledged, notify the officer
with whom the original certificate Of
his nomination was filed, that he de-
cl1nes such nomination, the same
shall be void and his name shall not
be printed upon the ballots
The petition filed endorsing Sena-
tor Gebhardt was a nomination by
one of the methods provided by the
Election Law, and is the equivalent
therefore, of the certificate of nomi-
nation referred to in the paragraph
to which I have referred. The with
drawal having been filed upon the
10th, was filed thirteen days prior to
the primary election, and, therefore,
within the period contemplated by
the statute.
This nomination having been by
petlt1On, II would seem to be your
duty to inform at least five of the
persons who signed the petition of
such withdrawal, in addition to the
clerks of the various counties, to
refrain from printing the name of
Senator Gebhardt upon the primary
ticket.
Your letter calls my attention to
the provisions of paragraph 274 of
the same pamphlet, as possibly in
consistent with the provisions Of the
paragraph which I have quoted.
This subsequent paragraph seems to
me, by its language, to refer, how
ever, to persons who are nominated
as candidates by petitions filed with
municipal clerks, and 1t does not
seem to me, therefore, to be incon-
sistent with the provisions Of raIa~
graph A in the application of that
paragraph to an office, nomination
for which Is made by petition filed
with the Secretary of State, who is
not a municipal clerk"

SGULLY PLEASED WITH
ACTION OF CEBHARDT

Congressman Scully expresses
much qualification over the with
drawal of State Senator William c..
Gebhardt from the United States
senatorial race in favor of former
Congressman William Hughes, of
Paterson. He believes that Mr..
Hughes is sure to get the nominal
tion at the primaries on September
"a over former Senator Jim Smith
or former Judge John w. Wescott,
with George w. Young and Senator
Gebhardt out of the race, Mr.. Scuhy
is under the impression that Judge
Wescott will continue, although
many efforts have been made to
have him withdraw in favor of the
Paterson congressman. .

THE NEW BATTLEsHIp.

Washington, Sept. 19i-The bat
tleship Pennsylvania, the one battle
ship authorized In the recent naval
appropriation bill, will not only be
the most heavily arrnored and armed
battleship but the fieetest vessel of
her class In the world.
According to plans already decid-
ed upon by the Navy Department,
the specifications for the new terror
of the seas will probably call for a
maximum speed of perhaps twenty
five knots per hour, secured by an
increase in length and draft over
those dreadnoughts now building.
This increase will give additional
room for machinery, greater engine
efficiency and thus greater speed.
The new vessel will be $50 feet in
length, tlfty-five feet longer than the
Oklahoma and Arizona, just now the
largest ships, in process of building.
Although speed will be an essen
tial in the new battleship, the Navy
Department does not intend to sacri-
fee armor for speed. The Pennsyl-
vanta will be protected by plates of
steel Of the same thickness as that
on the Oklahoma and Arizona, and
II ouolUiOh u plAtCCh-1hSu pudIo Will
extend over a large portion of the
hull and give greater protection un-
der the water line.
The Pennsylvania will have a
beam Of 95 feet, 2 So inches. The
Navy Department does not think it
wise to make this any bigger, in view
of the fact that the Panama Canal
locks will only accommodate vessels
of 10 feet beam.
Some idea Of the size Of the new
dreadnought may be gained by the
fact that there are now only three
drydocks In existence which would
accommodate her-the navy docks
at New York. Norfolk and Puget
Sound. The Pearl Harbor dock, at
Honolulu, now building, will easily
hold the new fighter.

Shaffer was the Representatives

Witnesses failed to bring out
anything against Shaffer In the

cleared him this morning of fur

Following the freeing of Shaf-
fer, attorneys for Guy Kelly and

verdicts of not guilty against their
clients. The court denied the
motions.
The government concluded fits

stated it's case. Much reliance
will be placed on the good char
acter of Kelly and Watts to free
them.
