discussed yer since IL "a known
that Senator Ackerson was to leave
the senate. This discussion. according
to the reports from Monmouth, has
not zee confined particularly to poll
t~icians, but include the ank and file
of citizens in Monmouth, who are
acquainted with the ability and ex-
perience of Mr.. Rice Is a public man.
The Monmouth county man has
been mentioned in the past as a Dem
