WYCK0FF MAY
OPPOSE H|LkER
For County Clerk Next Year
is Talk Today at the
County Seat

NEW BRUNSWICK, Dec. A
new aspirant in the Republican
ranks for the nomination of county
clerk next year was heralded thi!
morning when friends of former
Sheriff Elmer Z. Wyckoff announced
he local man will be a candidate.
Although the ex-sheriff would not
corroborate the reports of his can
didacy when questioned he admit
ted he had been approached and
asked to run. but said he had not
consent as he believed it too early
to make any statement.
If Wyckoff becomes a candidate
It will mean that County Treasurer
L. William Hilker. of Perth Amboy,
will meet opposition at the primar-
les in securing the nomination. The
freeholder organization is known to
be behind Hilker's candidacy but II
is reported that the faction headed
by State Committeeman Frederick
c. Schneider, is urging Wyckoff to
become a candidate.
Should Wyckoff decide to oppose
Hilker there is a possibility that
feeling may be stirred up in county
Republican ranks between the two
factions.

APPLEBY ACTS
ON POLLUTION
Will Continue His Efforts
Started When He Was Bird
District Congressman
By GEORGE III. MANNING
washington Correspondent OF the
PoPth AmbOY Evening NeRHA

I @NNAAAAs 4NOhBl
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4:-Carrying
on his fight for legislation to put a
stop to the pollution of coastal wa
terways by the dumping of oil waste,
former Congressman T. Frank APP
pleby, of Asbury Park, is in the ca pi-
tai working as a private citizen to
obtain passage by congress OF a bill
similar to the one he sponsored in
the last congress.
Immediately before the converting
of the sixty-eighth congress at noon
yesterday, Mr.. Appleby called on
Representative Wallace Dempsey, of
New York, chairman of the House
Rivers and Harbors Committee, and
submitted to him the outline of the
legislation which he desires, with the
urgent request that Representative
Dempsey introduce it.
1t Is understood that Mr.. Appleby
is also endeavoring to interest Sena-
tor Wadsworth In his measure which
he now desires to be pushed as an
administration policy rather than as
a bill sponsored by the New Jersey
delegation.
MI. Appleby was evidently un-
aware that a bill identical with his
former bill as reported by the Rivers
and Harbors Committee last year
was introduced at the opening of
congress by Representative Bacha-
rach, of Atlantic City. So far as can
be learned he did not consult with
any of his former colleagues from
Jersey with respect to his anti-oil-
pollution measure, nor disclose to
anyone his intention of enlisting the
support of Mr.. Dempsey and Sena-
tor Wadsworth.

IF YOU NEED MEDICINE

Have you ever stopped to reason why
1t is that so many products that are ex.
tensiyely advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? Tie
reason is plain-the article did not fuill
the promises OF the manufactures. THIS
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A Incidental preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as Ike
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited. to these II are in reed of II.
a prominent druggist says Take for
example DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
ard never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits. as many Of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and ver-
fled testimony of thousands who lave
used the preparation. the success of DR..
Bilmer's Swamp-Rt OF is due to the fact,
so many people claim. that it fulhls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects ur-
mary roubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
