Carteret Borough-0ther
Political News Notes

CARTERET, July 25.-The politi-
cal campaigns of both parties will
be in full swing before another week
elapses. according to political lead
ers of the borough. The plans OF
the Republican party are not as yet
formulated, because of the absence
of Mayor Thomas j. Mulvihill, who
Is motoring through New England
at this time. Street Commissioner
William Walling, president of the
Republican Club, said yesterday
afternoon that the Republican ticket
for the fall will be put into shape as
soon as the borough executive re-
turns from his vacation next Mon
day.
The Republicans will reach a
definite agreement on their candf-
dates at the meeting TO be held on
Wednesday night, August 13. There
Is, however, no doubt that Mayor
Mulvihill will run for reelection,
Mr.. Walling said. AS to the other
candidates, the Republican leader
could give no definite information.
1t Is understood among the Re-
publicans. that Clarence T. Slugg,
who left the counciimanic post last
year will seek reelection this fall.
Should Mr.. Slugg run. there is still
another candidate required for the
ticket. Councilman Edward S. Will
gus, who was appointed last year
to fill the unexpired term of another
man for one year will be among the
candidates.
John H. Nevill wall probably seek
the assessors Office. Charles A.
Brady, collector will have no op-
positiOn according to present IN
dications.
The Democratic party Is shaping
its plans now. The definite choice
for the mayoralty ONCE will not be
made before another few days, 1t
was said. Asked whether they will
select Mr.. Dalrymple, the Demo-
Gratis said that I'VE cannot say just
now what it is going to be DONE"
Maxwell Sosin, secretary of the
jefferson Club, and one of the lead
ers of the Democratic party. when
asked about the plans of the Demo-
cratic party issued the following
statement:
with the coming fall election,
the control of the borough will go
back to Democracy and the Demo-
Gratis who have helped put Carteret
on It's feet since it's birth. 1t seems
that the people and especially the
taxpayers are becoming very uneasy
and alarmed on the increase in
taxes here and only since 1922 the
rates increased more than thirty
500 points per hundred dollars,
when the Republicans took charge.
OF course this does not necessarily
mean that the present administra-
ton Is inefficient, but 1t merely
shows that much money is wasted
in various departments that could
be very easily saved for the tax
payers. Regarding the candidate
for the Democratic nominee for
mayor, the borough Is still to pro-
duce a man that can equal In char
acter, calibre and business admin
tstration as good as Joseph A. Her
mann and 1 might add to my own
accord that If Mr.. Hermann were
only persuaded to run for the may
orship, I am certain the people
would do the right thing"
Aside from local politics, Demo-
Gratis are busy about the county to
put Edward ]. He'll, president of the
Board of Education INTO the post of
clerk. County leaders are
being urged to consider Mr.. Hell as
their choice, because of his achieve
ments as a leader. They point out
that Mr.. He'll has been one OF the
most active men in the Democratic
party, that has helped considerably
in whatever enterprise the Demo-
Gratis have undertaken.
The Democrats would also like to
see that Maxwell Sosin, local attor-
ney gets the nomination for the as
Mr.. Sosin made a good run
last year, as an Independent Demo-
cratic candidate and 1t Is pointed
out that If the county organization
backs his candidacy he would carry
Middlesex county without diihculty.
Mr.. Sosin Is a member of many civic
and fraternal organizations, secre.
tary of the Carteret Chamber Oh
Commerce and counsel for many
local corporations.
