CALL To GERAN
MAY WIN OUT
Strong Pressure Brought to
Bear on MataWan Man to
Enter Race

Although former United States
Attorney for New Jersey Elmer H.
Geran has made no announcement
that he will be candidate for con-
gresham in the third congressional
district, in the Democratic primary,
it is understood that so much pres
sure has been brought to bear that
he is seriously considering the mat
ter and an announcement is expect
ed by his friends within the course
of few days.
Although Mr.. Geran has declared
time and time again that he will not
be a candidate for any Office this
fall, and even so stated in an ad-
dress before the City Democratic
Club of this city, it is understood
that the demand from Governor
Edward 1. Edwards, who is can
didate for United States senator and
Judge George s. Silzer, who is a
candidate for governor, have been
so great that Mr.. Geran at last con-
sented to take the matter under Sc
rious consideration and his friends
in Matawan, his home town, predict
IndL lie WIFI pS the
With Gerans name on the ticket,
it is believed that the strongest pos
sible ticket has been obtained for
the third congressional district.
which comprises Middlesex, Mon
mouth and Ocean counties. 1t is
held by those who are acquainted
with the situation that Geran is the
only man in Monmouth county who
can put up a strong opposition
against r. Frank Appleby, the pres
ent congressman. and that Geran is
able to fight Appleby on his own
battle ground. namely, Asbury Park.
Although Mr.. Geran resides in
Matawan, his law business is in AS
bury Park and he commutes daily
between the two places. Asbury Park
is Congressman Appleby's home city
and it is held that the campaign OF
both men, if Geran accepts, VIII be
directed from that city.
Geran has a strong following In
Monmouth county, and even IN
Ocean. In Middlesex the politicians
declare that no stronger candidate
can be selected by the Democrats.

MAyORFAvORS
BUYING TEAMS
For Municipal Collection OF
Garbage, But Dump to be
Discontinued
new LEGAL TANGLE
Unless Aldermen Are Willing
to Uphold Suggestion of
New City Dump

Mayor Wilson has signed the reso-
luton authorizing the securing OF
bids for six teams of horses and six
tive-yard wagons to be used in the
municipal collection of garbage, but
has done so with the proviso that the
present garbage dump be discontin-.
ued No mention of the abandon-3
ment of the dump was made in the
mayors action in approving the reso-
luton with a provision added by.
himself is likely to result in a fur
ther legal tangle on the garbage
question unless the aldermen are:
willing to uphold the suggestion OF
the citys chief executive that a new
dump be used.
The date specified in the resolu-
tion for the receipt of bids on the
teams and wagons is August II but
the manner in which the mayor
signed the resolution may mean that
bids cannot be received on the date
set as it will be legal question as
to whether or not the original reso-
luton had been approvsd.
When this resolutions was Intro
duced at the aldermanic meeSE-g il
was opposed by the two EN,l&ml
members of the board Alderman
Sofield and Riedy, and also by AL
derman Clark.
Several checks to Graham a. Me-
Keon and men employed by these
contractors in collecting the city
garbage since the aldermen decided
to take over the garbage collection
are still being held up by both the
mayor and city comptroller await
ing an opinion from the city attor-
ney as TO whether or not it is legal
to sign the warrants.
Mayor Wilson explained this
morning that the resolution author
izing the street committee to pro-
ceed with the city's garbage collec-
ton had been vetoed by him and
the aldermen failed to pass it over
his veto. Therefore, the mayor con-
tends, the street committee has no
legal right to go ahead with the hir-
ing of teams and men and the city
officials who must sign the checks
cannot legally do so in his opinion.
The mayor said he would not hold
up the checks If the resolution au-
thorizing the work had any legal
standing and had been passed over
his veto. Among the checks held up
are two to Graham & McKeon. each
| for $3.50.
