FOR FALL CAMPAIGN
County Committee Meeting
Held Yesterday in New
Brunswick Largely Attended.

Active preparations for the coming
fall campaign were started at a
meeting of the Middlesex County
Republican Committee in Elks' hall,
New Brunswick, last night Several
names, among them were those of
men from this city and about the
county, were mentioned as possibili-
ties for candidacy at the coming
primaries. A candidate committee
was named to look up desirable
timber for positions and plans were
discussed for an outing, which will
probably be clambake.
Among the names mentioned on
the floor as being of possible candi-
dates for the fall elections were:
Former Judge Edward w Hicks, for
senator; John V. Wyckoff, Of Plains
boro, for the assembly; Clarence NJ.
Haight, of New Market, who was a
candidate on the G. o. P. ticket last
fall; George S. Applegate, OF South
River, who was also candidate last
year; Chester r. Holman, of New
Brunswick, and Leo Goldberger, Of
this city.
Attention was directed to free
holder timber for the coming cleo
tions. New material for those offices
were reported as including H. w.
Jeffers, of Plainsboro; Mayor Ferd
Garretson, of this city; Wilson S.
Hendricks, of Dunellen; Frank
Jennings, of Jamesburg; Mayor Will
liam S. Dey, of South Amboy, and
Frederick Schneider, OF New Bruins
wick. 1t is generally reported that
the present Democratic Board of
Freeholders will be renominated to
run on the Democratic side.
AS for the senatorial race, it is
held to be almost certain that the
Democratic end of the race will
carry either former Mayor George A.
Viehmann, or Prosecutor w. Edwin
Florance, of New Brunswick. The
Democratic assembly ticket is de-
clared to be likely to remain the
same, it taking in DR.. E. l.. Loblein,
Charles S. Anderson and Arthur A.
