ARE WATCHING
Sitting Tight to Watch De-
veIopment One County
Leader Says Today
REPORT NO CONTESTS
Campaign Will Probably Get
Real Start in Course of
Few More Days

While the Democrats of Middle
sex county are getting up enthus-
lam and planning an intensive cam
paign III the gubernatorial nonlna-
ton contest between Judge George
s. Silzer and State Banking and In
surance Commissioner William Tut
tie, Jr., the Republicans are sit
ting tight, watching developments
and taking things easy" This is the
manner III which a prominent Rs-
publican leader described the status
of Middlesex county G.. o. P. af-
fairs today when questioned as to
paign.
The Middlesex county Republicans
apparently do not take George l..
Records candidacy for the nomina-
ton as United States senator
against U. S. Senator Joseph S. Fre-
linghuysen very seriously and many
of them do not regard the condition
as any contest for the incumbent
who seeks reelection.
Nevertheless efforts will be made
to have Senator Frelinghuysen con-
duct an active campaign as soon as
congress adjourns or whenever he
is able to get away from Washing
ton long enough to appear before
Republican voters throughout the
state.
1t is likely that a meeting of the
County Republican Committee will
be held within week or ten days
at New Brunswick for the purpose
of laying out plans for the fall cam
paign. Although there will be no
gubernatorial contest on this ticket
for the nomination there are likely
to be a number of candidates for the
L. dc
off, policy will likely be adopted by
the county committee until the vot-
ers have decided at the primaries
who they want as their representa-
tives.
This outing. it is believed, will
start the ball rolling" among G. o.
p. workers and thereafter numer-
GUS city, town, district and ward
meetings will be held in order to
bring before the voters the candi-
dates who seek office next fall. Until
now the county Republicans have
done little while the Democrats have
been showing great activity as the
result of the contest between Judge
Silzer and Commissioner Tuttle
which they have on their hands.
On August at Holly Park, South
Plainfield, the Republican outing
dates present from all over Middle
sex county and it is expected that
Senator Frelinghuysen, Congressman
Appleby and State Senator William
N. Runyon will be on hand to speak.
Plans are rapidly being completed
for the big Republican outing and
rally to be held at Holly Beach
Park on August 0, afternoon and
evening. Tickets for the outing have
been printed and sent out to mem
bers of the club throughout the
county and the return envelopes
have been coming in thick and fast.
A. U. Quint. OF Metuchen, chair
man of the speakers com mittee.
promises some lively speaking from
Congressman T. Frank Appleby.
United States Senator Joseph Frel-
inghuysen and State Senator Will
liam N. Runyon who are all keyed
up for the occasion.
There will be q ten-piece band at
the park to furnish music for dane
ing. A group of swimmers will ap-
pear in series of competitive
events. Through the kindness of
Mrs. Christian Kuhlthau hundreds
of yards of bunting have been donat-
ed to decorate the speakers plat
form, which will present :. gala ap-
pearance.
Reports were current about New
Brunswick this morning that when
the Republican county committee
does meet, it will be with Senator
Frelinghuysen. 1t is understood
that the committee will not set a
date for their meeting until they
have received word from the U. s.
senator as to when he will be able
to come to New Brunswick.
Republican leaders are thought to
have been going over the fall list of
candidates at New Brunswick yes
terday afternoon. State Senator
Morgan F. Larson. recognized coun-
ty leader, was at the county seat and
others prominent in Republican
circles from about the county were
seen about the county buildings.
