aA4TEE

Republicans throughout the county
have been outspoken in their emphat'
ie endorsement of the Republican can
didates selected by their leaders for
nomination at the forthcoming Prima'
~ Election. They are all men Of ex-
perience and long party service and
to every one OF them their respective
nominations will come as advance
ment in the ranks.
As recently pointed out by former
Assemblyman Bertram E. Whitman,
campaign manager for the Republican
candidates. party loyalty and service
has been rewarded in every instance.
Howard R. Cloud. for Sheriff, has serv-
ed many years in the ranks and sever
al years as Under Sheriff. William A.
Blair. for County Clerk. has served
first as a worker in the ranks. next as
Chosen Freebooter, and recently, at
considerable personal sacrifice, as As
semblyman. Joseph \. Corio has like
wise served unselfshly in the Assem-
bly,, and will undoubtedly be Speaker
Of the next House. Anthony j. Sira-
eusa. for many years a hard worker
in the Republican eause served as
Deputy Clerk. next as IN employee in
the Legislature. and his nomination is
another advancement. DR.. Theophilus
II. Boysen and Harry H. Harrison, for
Coroners. have been active for many
years in Republican campaigns.
In this ticket Republicans Of Allan
tic County have a set of candidates
for whom it will be a pleasure for
everyone TO turn in with a will and
roll up more than the usual Republi-
can majorities. Every candidate is a
man who has demonstrated his ability
and trustworthiness in the past and
who can be depended upon to admin
lister their Offices faithfully and eff
GENTLY.
Far from being "hand-picked" candi-
dates, this ticket represents weeks of
frequent consultations, with these and
other aspirants pressing their respect
i've claims for recognition, and it is a
remarkable and praiseworthy demon
stration Of party loyalty and devotion
to the will OF the majority that every
other candidate. save one, has gener-
ously Withdrawn and pledged his IN
qualified support TO the choice as
made.
Surely no Republican can hesitate
a moment 70 lend his earnest support
to the candidates above named. If
any claim is justified for party loyalty
and service. it IS amply justified in ev-
cry instance. Il ability to conduct
Office is a prime requisite, everyone of
them possesses il in a marked degree.
Everyone OF them IS the choice OF the
majority Of active Republicans from
all sections OF the county. and not
candidates picked BY one man or a
few men. The field was open, every
aspirant having ample opportunity to
be heard with his friends and the final
choice OF candidates represents the
viii OF The majority.
With these candidates the Republi-
can party goes into the annual fall
campaign solidifed and sure Of sue
cess. for il is a ticket of which every
Republican may be proud and for
which every Republican can work and
vote with confidence and enthusiasm.

SEVERAL MENTIONED FOR
COUNCILMEN At CARTERET

CARTERET Oct. 10--With the
departure of Councilman George Il.
Harmed for Florida this morning all
eyes are centered on the chair in the
council made vacant by the chair
man of the police committee. At
the next meeting of the council it
is believed Mayor Thomas J. Mulvi-
hill will appoint a man to succeed
Mr.. Harmed for his unexpired term.
There is considerable speculation
among both political parties as to
whom the mayor will select for the
important post.
The names of five prospective
members of the council are being
frequently mentioned. George A.
Dalrymple is mentioned as a logical
man Sam Harris is favored. Will
liam Clark may do well. The pres
ence of Edward Wilgus and Nathan
Jacoby leads observers TO believe
that they too are looking for the
post.
However, Mayor Mulvihill would
not divulge his selection and next
Monday may appoint a man whose
name does not figure in the list of
prospects. There is considerable In
terest and anxiety among the politi-
clans as evidenced by the general
discussion.

PAY FOR GRAVEL CAUSES
DISCUSSION At MATAWAN

MATAWAN, Oct. 10.-A heated
discussion as to whether or o the
borough should pay for the spread
ing of gravel on the property of the
New York and Long Branch railroad
featured the sesSion of the borough
council last night.
The question of spreading the graz
vel came about when Elwood Van
Brackle. representing the railroad
company, stated that the gravel had
been received and Was on the siding
| waiting for the borough to do its part
of the work. Mayor Sutphin request
ed the street committee to see hat
the work was done at once and
Councilman Thompson declared that
he could not understand why the
borough should pay for the spread
ing of the gravel on the railroad
property.
Mr. Van Brackle took the floor and
called To the attention of the coun-
cilmen hat at the last meeting, the
minutes showed they had voted to
spread the gravel If the railroad
company furnished it. Councilman
Thompson said hat he thought the
gravel was for Atlantic avenue.
Mayor Sutphin pointed out TO Mr..
Thompson that a few days ago the
street committee spread gravel on
property that had been paid for by a
| private citizen for the sum of S22
and Mr.. Thompson replied that it
was on a borough street and he had
nothing to do with 1t, to which the
mayor replied that the street had
not been opened up to traffic as yet.
He said hat if any objections were
to be made on the railroad matter
they should have been made at the
last meeting of the council.
Councilman Clark said he object
ed to the spending of money for
work of this kind, but hat in view
of the fact the minutes showed that
the borough authorized it done. the
only thing to be dom about the mat
ter is to spread the gravel and for
get it. The council finally agreed
TO do the work.
