NEW BRUNSWICK, July 10-No
endorsements of primary candidates
by the Middlesex County Republican
Committee is likely this year, accord
ing to statement made by State
Committeeman Frederick Schneider
last night at a meeting of the County
Republican Committee in the Elks
Home in this city. Mr.. Schneider
did not make this announcement dur
ing his talk but made the statement
following the meeting when question
ed by an EVENING NEWS reporter
as to who were the probable candi-
dates the county organization would
back at the primaries.
Not only will the county committee
refrain from pushing any one indl-
vidual for county positions, but Will
most likely remain neutral in the con-
test for gubernatorial honors on the
Republican ticket, Mr.. Schneider said.
The idea, he pointed out, was to have
every Republican candidate come out
and make a strong run for the noml-
nation at the primaries. The county
committee will then get in back of the
successful ones for the actual Novem-
Der election.
Last nights meeting was attended
by prominent Republicans from all
parts of the county, John Pfeiffer,
presiding. In his talk Mr.. Pfeiffer
urged all the members to spread the
gospel of Republicanism, to get out
and work untiringly for the party
and spread G. o. p. propaganda at
every opportunity.
The committee decided to conduct
an outing, by boat, some time In Au-
gust, committee consisting OF the
following men being nemed, f. Will
H. oh igTY1 r1. H.
ner, Thomas Mulvihill. John Hanson,
James A. Morrison, Wilson Frederick,
Fred Diebert, George S. Applegate
and John II. Leisen.
Freeholder Clarence M. Haight, of
Dunellen, Rene Won Minden of New
Market, State Republican Committee
man Frederick Schneider and others
made inspiring talks during the night:
The action of Freebooter F'rederlcK
Gebhardt, who has announced his
candidacy for the county clerkship,
was discussed in groups, but no ac-
ton was taken by the committee,
which will maintain strictly "neu-
trail stand during the primaries from
present appearances. According TO
Mr.. Schneider the Republicans have
not yet given up all hope that former
Mayor Ferd Garretson, of Perth Am
boy, now city treasurer of that city,
will run for the Office of county clerk.
Chairman John Pfeiffer was author
lied to name an executive committee
which will carry on the G. 0. 2. cam
paign in this county this fall.
The meeting adopted the declara-
ton of Republican principles as
worked out and adopted by the New
Jersey League of Republican Clubs.
