Judge Lloyd will both expire on the
18th instant. They cannot hold over
until their successors are appointed,
and, under the constitution, I cannot
make any appointment to fill va
cancy occurring during the last week
of my term. These positions must,
therefore, remain vacant until Gov

lawyers having business before these
courts, he requests me to make the

Luther A. Campbell is member of
the bar of Bergen county, residing at
Hackensack. He was admitted to
practise about twenty years ago. His
father is well remembered as prose-
cutor of the pleas of that county, and
he himself has been counsel to the
Board of E'reeholders and many of
the municipalities of his county. He
was president of the County Bar As
ISOLATION last year. Mr.. Campbell is
about forty-one years of age and has
enjoyed very large practise.
Light on TayIor's Boom.
Added impulse for the boom of Act
ing Governor Taylor for the prosecu-
torship of Monmouth county was
given today when it was discovered
that there had been a prosecutor in
Ocean county for ten years who was
only an attorney. The question had
arisen that the acting governor could
not qualify for prosecutor owing to
the fact that he has not yet attained
the counselor's degree.
Mr.. Taylor took the examination for
counselor several weeks ago but re-
called his examination papers before
he had finished the examination. The
man who had the prosecutorship in
Ocean county with only the attorneys
degree was Theodore J. R. Brown,
who was appointed in 1902 and reap
pointed in 1907. His term Of Office ex-
pired in April. 1912, when he was sue
ceeded by the present incumbent, for
mer Assemblynian Harry Newman.
Successor to BolIschweiler.
The appointment of a sheriff to
eucceed Albert Bollschweiler. in Mid
eiesex county also formed a topic of
discussion in the corridors of the
State House today. Sheriff Bollsch-
weller was recently appointed as
United States marshal.
There are several candidates for the
shrievalty, but the two standing out
most prominently are present Under
sheriff George Houte- and Mayor
Arthur Appelby, of Spotswood. Hou-
ten has the backing of State Senator
William A. Ramsey. of Middlesex,
while the man behind Appelby, it is
Z said, is County Clerk Bernard M
Cannon, lieutenant to Congressman
Thomas j. Scully.
Mayor Appelby. it is represented,
has sacrificed himself on several oc-
casions for the party running for
offices for which no Democrat had a
chance. If appointed it is understood
that one of the stipulations will be
that he will not be a candidate for
the shrievalty next fall when Sheriff
Bollschweiler's term of office expires.
Senator Ramsey. when asked about
the shrievalty fight in Middlesex ad-
mitted that 1t was settled anu mat
Appelby was the man. The Senator
said he would send in Appelby's name
for confirmation by the Governor
