are made are not prompted by the

ITSO[D OFFICERS

The Republican County Committee
was organized for the coming year
last night at a meeting in its head
Academy and Halsey streets. Incl
dentally the former officers, with one
exception. were fe-elected.

manship. County Counsel Benjamin
r. Jones declined to become a can
didate for reelection and was sue
ceeded by DR.. Joseph G. Conover. of
Caldwell. M. w. DeCamp, of Rose
land, presented the name of DIR. Como
yer and Lincoln E. Rowley. of East
Orange, nominated Howard Marshall,
of East Orange, as candidates for the

withdrew and DR.. Conover's election
was unanimous.

candidate for the nomination of sher-
iff, said that he did not intend to be-

plause when he announced that he in
tended to support the entire Repub-
lican ticket. He was defeated for the
congressional nomination, in the Tenth
district by w. I. Lincoln Adams.
There was a difference of only four
votes between the two candidates.
The remark made by Mr.. Lehlbach
was taken by a majority of those
present to mean that he would not
apply for a recount. This was the
cause of the applause that greeted his
pledge of support to the G.. o. p, cam
didates.
II said 1 would support the whole
Republican ticket" said Mr.. Lehl-
bach, "but l did not say whether
Mr.. Adams or / would be on the
ticket"
Mr.. Rowley in a short address de-
clared that the primary contest had
done much to stir up interest in the
g. o. p, and predicted that this
year the Republicans would poll a
heavier vote in the city and county
than ever before.
Thomas L. Raymond, who defeated
Andrew c. Snyder for the mayora1ty
met his vanquished OPP
ponent in the reception room after
tho meeting They both shook hands
and Mr.. Snyder wished the victorious
candidate "all success"
''I'm afraid you're not serious"
said Mr.. Raymond.
I'm not, eh?" returned Mr.. Sny-
der "I'll tell what I'll do. You let
me know when you're going to start
your campaign, and I'll preside at
every meeting you hold, If you'll let
me-"

they shook hands again.

NOT IN FAVOR
WITH GOVERNOR
That Is to Say, Candidates Who
Run for Office After Pri-
mary Fight.


s TRENTON. Sept. 3O-Before and
after the Democratic convention
here yesterday there was much dis
cussion concerning persons who have
filed petitions after the primaries as
candidates for office as so-called
Independent Democrats or other
kind of Democrats. The criticism in
cluded those persons who are. re-
ported as contemplating fling
petitions and running for office on
this plan.
The feeling as represented in the
criticism was intensely hostile to
such tactics, and those who figure in
the movements as supporters of
petition candidates were jolted just
as hard as the candidates them
selves.
1t was openly declared that Gov
ernor Fielder would not stand for
any of his appointees to office. or
other person over whom he might
exercise an influence, accepting an
independent nomination after the pri-
maries, when such persons had OPP
portunities to make primary contests
and failed to take advantage of the
opportunities.
Such a course on the part of a
Democrat will be in direct opposition
to the Governors wishes" declared
a close friend of the Governors.
THE Governor is strict party man
and Is the Democratic leader in the
State. His attitude on the matter
being discussed has been set forth
and is well known to all. Any DEM
ocrat running as an independent
will be displaying hostility to the
Governor
The same authority added that
President Wilson's ideas were iden-
tica1 with those of Governor Fielder
