Newark, former member Of the state
legislature and now candidate for the

of state, against the candidacy. Of Carl
T. Antenen of Hamilton for the same

Antenen Is not projected in good
faith; that he does not expect or want
to get the nomination for himself but

the first place, putting Fulton and Sny-
der on aA equality in that regard.
