HOFFMAN MAY
ENTER CONTEST
South Amboy City Treasurer
May Make Run for the
State Assembly.

TBy Evening News Correspondent.
SOUTH AMBOY, April 4:-With
the present session of the legislature
now drawing to a close there is con-
siderable talk of candidates for the
assembly for the next year. People
of South Amboy are very anxious 10
have a man from this city to repre-
sent Middlesex county next year. 1t
has been over twenty years since a
South Amboy man held a seat In
legislative halls of the state and they
think it is about time that some
recognition was given this city.
The name of Harold HOFFMAN has
been prominently mentioned in this
respect. While Mr.. Hoffman has not
as yet announced his candidacy he
has made known his desire to occu-
py such a position. Mr.. Hoffman is
one of the most prominent Republi-
cans in this section of the county.
Although a young man, he has a
great deal of influence and should
he desire to become the party'S can
didate will no doubt be given the
organization support.
There will be two If not three va
cancies in the ranks of the Republi-
cans this year. Albert w. Appleby
will be a candidate for the senate:
Edward J. Peterson says that he has
and Raymond Lyons of New Bruins
wick is only 'lukewarm." William
Kane, secretary of the Republican
county committee, is likely to be
one of the candidates.
