SEE CANNON AS LEADER
OF COUNTY DEMOCRATS
CONTINUED from page u

II was learned this afternoon that
Forman's petitions were put in cir
culation shortly before noon today.
He opposed Sheriff Elmer c.. Wyck-
off for the nomination for sherfff
on the Republican ticket two years
ago and last wear was the Repub-
lican candidate for surrogate. He
is expected to make a strong run
this year as Mr.. CLAYTON was consid-
cred the strongest man in the
county. he having a large personal
following among Republicans as
we'll as Democrats. Forman has an
nounced that. If elected. he will de-
vote his entire time to the duties
of the office.
Owing to the large number of
aspirants for the assembly on the
Republican ticket, il now appears
as though the county organization
will adopt the hands off" policy
until after the primaries, thus CIV
ing all an equal chance. The
name of Thomas l.. Hanson, a To-
cal attorney. is now being men
toned as a candidate for the as
semblv on the G. Q. P. ticket.
From present indications United
States Senator Joseph S. Freling-
huysen, candidate for reelection,
Senator William n. Runyon, candi-
date for governor, and Congressman
T. Frank Appleby, candidate for re-
lection, will all have the unquali-
fed backing of the Middlesex county
organization. A report was current
for a time that CONGRESSMAN Apple

LONDON. June 27.-The Evening
News today said the British govern
ment sent q warning last Saturday
10 the Irish provisional government
declaring that II the latter govern
ment's authority TO restore order
was not exercised the British would
have to take action.
The British communication, ac-
,ordlng 10 the newspaper. requested
the provisional government to act
promptly and vigorously to break up
the organization for intimidation and
murder. directed to wreck the treaty.
The warning continued:
IF the provisional government
now that the election shows they
have obtained the backing of the ma
jority. fails 10 act the imperial gov
eminent will be obliged to take &C
ton"
The News says the warning does
not contain a time limit and can
not be described as an ultimatum.
LONDON. June 81 CBy The AS
ISOLATED Press Prime Minister
Lloyd George and Colonial Secre-
tary Churchill apparently have
turned the edge of the opposition's
thrust based on the Irish policy.
A virtual vote of confidence was
given by the House of Commons last
night when it defeated 342 to IS q
motion proposed by the "die hards'
Tor a reduction in the salary of the
chief secretary for Ireland in disap-
prevail of the governments policy
and failure properly to protect Field
Marshal Wilson.
The secretary for the colonies
made it clear in his statement that
southern Ireland would not be al
lowed to coerce Ulster and that the
provisional government in Dublin
now must assert complete authority,
the alternative being hat the inn
perial government would resume
complete freedom of action.
The prime minister said the cleo
ton had shown that the provisional
government had the Irish people be-
hind ii and o must prove whether
It was fit to govern.
Counter action has been taken by
The Forcourt irregulars. Last even
ing they kidnapped Lieut.. General
O'Connor, assistant chief of staff of
the Regulars and are holding him
prisoner.
The executive officers of the ir-
regulars telephoned the Regulars
that Lieutenant O'Connor is being
held until the release of Lieut.. Hen
ierson ami of the irregulars is
brought about.
