Earl Assay was appointed in his position.
Harry Paul has removed to another dis

John d. McMullen was in town last
week looking after his petition to be a
candidate on the Democratic ticket for
State Senator. His petition was filed
all right but he failed to attach his
signature to the clause signifying his in
tention of accepting the nomination..
The paper was put in on the last day set
for such act and the petitioner was noti-
fled of the omission but it seems he was
not at home. When he came back it
was too late to have the mistake recti-
fled. The law expressly states that
candidates nominated for any office in
any certificate or petition shall manifest
their acceptance thereof. signed by their

the name of any candidate who shall fail
In such manner to signify his accept
ance of the nomination shall not be
printed upon the ballots" This is per-
fectly clear and there was but one course
for the county clerk to pursue. 1t has
been stated that "Mr. McMuIlen was far
from pleased when he heard how the
whole thing had been upset and it is
quite likely he has expressed his opinion |
not far from Mount Holly" That may
be so but Mr.. McNIullen is learned /
lawyer and when he was shown the en-
tire situation he gracefully acknowledged
that the decision of the county clerk was
corect.

As the people are becoming more and
more disguised with Democratic. control
# state affairs, it is apparent that the
Republican nominee will be elected,
ind therefore, it is only necessary to
consider the Republican candidates.
There are three men contesting for this
position: Blanchard H. White. of Mount {
Holly, Harold b. Wells. of Bordentown,
md Warren G. Pine, of Riverside. Mr..
White, having served six years in the
Legislature, is seeking denomination.

Mr.. Wells has not only always support
ed Republican nominees, but has, at his
own expense, travelled throughout the
county and state and spoken for the Re-
publican ticket in every campaign since
he has been voter. The party record
of Mr.. Wells is above question; his loyal

character far above suspicion. In max

everywhere winning support. Mr.. Pine,
our genial county collector, is very
quiet man with friends in every part of
the county, He has been lifelong Re-
publican and served three years in the
Legislature, and is now serving his
second term as county collector His
campaign is being conducted in the
same manner that he does everything
quietly. His supporters prophesy that
when the votes are counted on primary
day, he will be winner Time will tell |
