Mr. Runyon, a resident OF Hickory
drive, will succeed William H. Kemp,
a Republican. who has been amem-
Der of the township governing body
for the last twelve years. Mr.. Kemp
refused to again be a candidate.
Win Mr.. Kemp announced his
decision the Democrats at once looked
for suitable candidate and decided
on Charles H. Stewart, Q former
member of the committee and at one
time a member of the South Orange
Board of Education, as their stand
ard bearer. Mr.. Stewart was at his
summer home at Lake Hopatcong,
however, and failed to return until
after the day prescribed by law on
which to file petitions. This. how
ever, did not danpen the spirits of
the Democrats, who hoped to have
him consent to run in any event.
Mr.. Stewart said today that he had
positively decided not to be q candi-
