Better a Live Republican

In Salem, N.J., Democrats pressed hard for the re-election of Herbert Hopman to the town's Common Council. Their ads for the party ticket included his picture and stressed his 16 years of service on the council. They did not mention that he died soon after the ballots were printed. The Democrats urged his re-election so that the party could select his successor. Voters chose a live Republican instead.
