the matter here last evening.
Verdon was a visitor at the state

No Congress Contest
Democrats in Third District Planning to get together to Avoid
Party Fight for Nomination Twill Try to Decide on One
Man That All Factions viii Agree Upon.

The attention of the Democratic
leaders in the third congressional dis
trict, 1t was learned today, is CEN
tered on avoiding a contest in the
September primaries, as far as the
nomination of a congressman in the
district is concerned. In order to do
this the party will have to decide upon
one man for this office and eliminate
all others. BY taking this position
the party will be saved considerable
expense, which can be expended in
the fight against the Republican NOM
inee in the general election.
If this condition of affairs does ex-
list. and the party will unite in the
primaries, and only one candidate
be placed on the ballot, how vastly
different will be the Democratic pri-
mary election when compared to the
Republican where four candidates are
striving to obtain the nomination.
Up to the present time but two men
have been mentioned as possible
candidates for the nomination in the
Democratic primaries. They are:
Mayor Frank Dorsey of Perth Anlboy
and Elmer II. Geran, sheriff of Mon
mouth County. Neither of these men
however will say whether or not they
will be candidates on the ticket al

nothing but a scheme to prevent tha
