Four Republican Candidates

While the contest In the Democratic
primaries Will be between Mr.. Fielder and
.Ir. Katzenbach only. the fight for the
Republican nomination has attracted not
less than four candidates, which is looked
upon as a hopeful sign by the Repub-
hcan leaders that II Will soon come back
into its own.
Ex-Governor stokes IL perhaps the best
known of the Republican candidates. be-
few years ago. His ability as "A campaign
er and his knowledge OF political subjects
are unquestoned, and, while he has an
excellent chance OF capturing the nomina-
ton. the calibre OF the other three candi-
dates Is such that Mr.. Stokes has a stifr
fight on his hands.
Ii il apparent from the discussions al
ready heard that the candidacy OF Sena-
tor Carlton h. Pierce. OF Union County,
has made deep impression upon many
OF the thinking people OF the state Sena-
tor Pierce, unlike most OF the other can
didates. hasn't endeavored to cover the
entire field OF political and economic
questions In his appeal 10 the Republican
voters for the nomination for Governor
on the contrary, he has confined himself
TO FIVE fundamental problems now con-
fronting the people. the solution OF which
would indeed furnish plenty of work for
the occupant of the Governor chair. On
the primary ballot Senator Pierce will
have opposite his name six words which
mean volumes to the people Of New Jer-
sey.
They are Abolish grade crossings !;
eoualize tax assessments" And when the
thoughtful Republicans go into the booths
on Primary Day and read this slogan
Senator Pierces friends predict surpris-
Ing vote for him.
Ex-Judge Robert Carey, OF Jersey City,
IL also a candidate for the Republican
nomination for Governor, and his candi-
dacy ia attracting more than ordinary in
terest. because he was one OF the original
Progressives In New Jersey, and his plat
form calls for reunitng OF all factions
OF the party. Former Congressman
Charles n. Fowler is another Progressive

ton for Governor.

While the mere fact that the open prl-
maries will be used for the first time in
selecting candidates for Governor has
ouickened public interest. there is an ad-
ditional flavor impaired to the contest

London, Dec. 27.-An organization
which promises to shake London's com
placency az the fount. in head of English

Oxford under the direction of the Poet
Laureate Robert Bridges. aided by such
masters of English as Thomas Hardy,
DIR. Henry Bradley, ST. Walter Raleigh
and Professor John w. Mackail.
While the objects of the association
have not yet been fully defined, they prob
ably will include the publication of liter.

ultimately to influence the teachers over
the whole country to aid u the rcstora

written and spoken. and TO resist the un-
necessary Incorporation of foreign words
and to encourage the adoption in polite
speech of crisp. tcrsc. vigorous words
from the dialects. The English that
johnson wrote is the object aimed at hy
the association. johnson would. have
said rot but he would have writtan
