pointment to the State Board of AS
SCISSORS Bogardus is fighting a lone
ly battle In Monmouth county.
Aside from Fay, of Long Branch,
who IS a Smith lieutenant. the other
political leaders are for Wilson. The

Club is one of the instigators of the
Bogardus candidacy, following his
turn-down for the State Board OF
Assessors.
The Democrats who stand pat for
the governor and Congressman
Thomas ]. Scully, a pledged Wilson
delegate are making efforts to Sc
cure the signatures of at least a ma
iority of the Democrats in every
district in the county. They were
successful in Perth Amboy, and later
reports from other voting districts
give like Indication. Mr.. Scully, who
is from South Amboy, will have as
his running mate in this district
State Senator John w. Slocum, Of
Long Branch. The alternates of
both factions are from Ocean county.
Assembly Thomas NJ. Donnelly. of
Jersey City, will speak in MiddleseX
county in support of DR.. Bogardus,
he states. Mr. Donnelly has here
tofore been a supporter of Governor
Wilson, but claims his decision is
the accumulation of a crouch The
assemblyman AYERS that other Hud-
son county men will break away, too,
concluding with the following state
ment concerning the cause for his
action:
Nobody was satisfied with the
way We were treated. No considera-
tlon has been shown to the Demo-
cratic Assemblymen. During the
session of the Legislature we were
not consulted The Governor did
not take the initiative this year that
he did last year. He was consulted
with only a certain few.
During the session there have
been accumulating a whole lot Of lit
tie reasons to justify the position |
have decided to take. 1 have come
to the conclusion that the governor
is a politician not a statesman.
