THINK FUTILE OUT
OF GOVERNOR RACE
CONTINUED from page ~

There may or may not be some
significance to the high praise which
Governor. Edwards showered upon
Circuit Court Judge Ralph w.
Donges. of Camden county, when the
governor made several talks in
Camden county the other night.
Judge Donges has been put forward
by Democratic Committeeman Ed
ward J. Kelleher as a good South
Jersey bet" to tie up with the Ed
wards candidacy for senator from
North Jersey. Mr.. Donges' boom has
been received with considerable In
terest. The governor said in his
Camden speeches that he would he
pleased to have the circuit u
judge as a running mate this fall.
such a Rer ublican stronghold as
Camden is offset. in the opinion of
his friends, by their belief that he
would cut down the South Jersey
Republican vote. AS elements of his
strength they point to his war &C.
ord. the fact that he vas president
OF the Public Utility Commission IN
til he resigned to get into the army.
that he has been the supreme dc
tator of the Loyal Order of Moose
and is able to make a forceful CAM
paign on the stump.
Two prominent Democratic guber-
Material possibilities, Circuit Court
Judge Silzer. of Middlesex. and
Mayor Frederick w. Donnelly, of
Trenton, are just now recuperating
from very serious operations AMI
will not be heard from for some
days to come. Judge Silzer is in a
New Brunswick hospital and Mayor
Donnelly is in Rochester. Mimi,

The fued between Governor Ed
wards. Democrat, and Senator Food
er, Republican. of Gloucester, over
the Gloucester county Judge and
prosecutorship. which started at the
session of the legislature, was
renewed here today when the SEN
ate met. 1t has been charged that
FODDER wants to block all Democra-
tic appointments for the full term
so that the Republicans can get the
two jobs next year II a Republican is
elected governor. This Is regarded
in some circles, especially by Demo-
Gratis. as Cheap politics." OF the
ground that the administration now
is Democratic and is entitled to the
Offices coming under its appoint
ment.
There are so few Democratic law
in Cape May that it may be Mr..
Edwards will pick one from another
South Jersey county for the prose-
cutorship there. Whether this will
be approved in Cape May is a ques-
ton, as it Is known some of the
natives down there have said they
do not want any foreigner"
