DR.. RAMSAY IS
IN THERUNNING
Announced His Candidacy for
Sonata Today.

DR.. William E. Ramsay, of this
city, announced today that he is a
candidate for the Democratic nomi-
nation to the New Jersey senate to
succeed former Senator George S.
Silzer, Democrat, who resigned to
accept the position of prosecutor of
pleas of Middlesex county. DR.,
Ramsay, who has served three terms
in the House of Assembly, will be
opposed at the primary polls by
Assemblyman August Streitwolf, OF
New Brunswick, who aspires to a
seat in the upper house.
1t is the intention of DR.. Ramsay
to stand on the work he accomplish
ed in the assembly in 1908, 1910
and 1J11, especially concerning
medical legislation. He believes
that the senate should be composed
of lawyers in the majority, but that
at least one physician should be IN
the makeup of the body to pass on
measures pertaining to that frater-
nifty.
While in the assembly DR.. Ramsay
"fathered" the measure abolishing
the public drinking cups.
Although no Endorsement will be
given any candidate this year by the
Democratic county committee, it will
be generally accepted as a given
fact that DR.. Ramsay is the candi-
date favored by many of the promi-
nent leaders on this committee. His
opponent, Mr.. StreitwOlf, has been a
staunch friend of Governor Wilson
from the beginning, but is not in
favor with the present leaders of the
Middlesex Democracy.

GOVERNOR ON
IMMIGRATION
TO HUNGARIAN

Governor Wilson has made a state
ment in signed form, setting forth
his views on the immigration ques-
ton. The statement was made at
the editors request and is as fol-
lows:
81 believe in the reasonable re-
striction Of Immigration but not in
any restrictions which will exclude
from the country honest Industrious
men who are seeking what America
has always offered, an asylum for
those who seek a free field. The
whole question Is a very difficult one,
but l think can be solved with JUS
tice and generosity. And one who
has the least knowledge of Hunga-
rian history must feel that stock to
have proved itself fit for liberty and
opportunity"

diet for the above amount for a con-
signment of potatoes for which the
New Jersey Produce Company re-
fused to pay. A counter claim was

favor of the New York man, execu-
ton was Issued and the amount of

attachment on the money turned
over to the constable. The case
hung on for several months and was
finally settled yesterday. The case
is made interesting owing to the
large amount of legal ENHANCEMENT

Over $4,000.

Seven hundred and forty-nine sub
scribers to the Y. M. G.. A. have paid
their first installments on their
promised contribution. Joseph E.

the captains to see the subscribers
personally.
There are 1,736 subscribers to- the
fund. Mr.. Walker is Of the opinion
that a large sum of the promised
money will be forthcoming during
this week as many of the young men
who have subscribed will receive
they pay during this time. Another
thing to be considered in the collec-
tons is that many o. the factory
people are enjoying the vacations

stead of by the farmers, according
to preparations underway by Henry
loft, sealer Of weights and meas
ures, who has charge of the market.

to clean their stalls and carry the
refuse with them and are heartily
in accord with Mr.. lofts ideas on
the subject. Some of them have eX-
pressed a willingness to pay five
cents a day for this purpose. Mr..
loft believes he can engage a man
to do the work for about fifty cents
each market day. The cost he
would divide among the farmers.
The market is growing rapidly
and is now being p~atronized more
than ever before. There were forty
seven farmers in attendance Tuesday
