Anticipating that Monmouth County will show a population of at least 100,000 by the census returns, and that it will thus come under the law requiring the creation of the office of register of deeds, the Democrats have put a candidate in the field in the person of Wilbert A. Beecroft. No Republican candidate has filed a petition, and some Democrats take this to mean that the G.O.P. leaders have acquired inside knowledge as to Monmouth County's population to the effect that it has not yet reached the 100,000 point.
