BY stan Correspondents.
NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. A.
Both Republican and Democratic
tickets are now complete as far as
the county offices are concerned,
yesterday being the last day in
which petitions could be filed.
Both parties will have contests at
the primaries on September 2S for
The Office of freeholder, there being
thirteen candidates on the Republi-
can ticket while six Democrats /are
In the race. OF this number each
party will select three candidates
Tor full three-year terms ard one
Ing the unexpired term of Free
holder Bennett who died early this
year.
The Republicans have a contest
TOR the congressional nomination in
this county and district with three
candidates in the ace. DR.. William
L.E. Ramsay, of Perth Amboy. the
ponly Democratic candidate, is un-
opposed.
No contests will mark the Demo-
cratic ticket in the assembly race
pfther but there are four Republi-
cans out for the three Offices, of
which one must be eliminated at
the primaries.
Neither party will have any con-
tests for coroner as there are two
candidates on both tickets and two
are to be elected.
With four county contests mark
ing this years primaries several
hard fights are expected and three
weeks of vigorous campaigning is
looked for, especially on the part
pf the G. o. p. entrants.
The position of freeholder has
rrouen tho most nnnu1ar p this van p
and with a total of nineteen can
hidates in the race the votes should
be we'll split up Throughout the
county. Each city and town has it's
representative in the race who will
poll a big vote in that section.
Fred Orpen is the thirteenth cam
didate to announce his candidacy
for freeholder position on the Re.
publican ticket.
The four freeholders whose terms
expire this year are all out for re-
election. they being Frederick Geb-
hardt, William S. Dey and DR.. Leon
Loblein for three years and r. r.
yandenburgh, one year. OF this
tdmber three are Republicans and
pr. Loblein the only Democrat.
There has been considerable dis
Eussion about the one year term OF
Vandenburgh, it being a question
l whether or not it is necessary for
' him to run for reelection when he
Is filling an unexpired term of an
4ther member of the board. When
= FFreeholder Bennett died last spring
Vandenburgh was selected to con-
tinue in his place. 1t Is the argu-
ment of some that he should hold
the office until next year when Mr..
Benefits term would have expired.
Others have said that he could hold
office only until the next election
and then be elected for the remain
Ing year.
At any rate vandenburgh is not
being opposed by any other Repub-
lican for that office so his nominal
tion Is assured. Daniel j. Delaney,
Of South Amboy, a Democrat, has
announced that he is out for the
one year term which will mean that
Vandenburgh will be opposed at the
general election although unop-
posed at the primaries,
