    TRENTON - In their last debate before the June 4 primary, the Republican candidates for U.S. Senate yesterday took more shots at incumbent Robert Torricelli while taking stands on stem-cell research and gay marriage.State Sen. Diane Allen, millionaire businessman Douglas Forrester, and State Sen. John Matheussen appeared in the Trenton studios of WPVI-TV (Channel 6), which will air the hourlong debate at 2 p.m. today.In previous face-offs, the candidates spent much of the time bashing Torricelli, whose campaign finances were the subject of a three-year federal investigation. The inquiry ended in January without any charges against the first-term Democrat.Prosecutors gave...

    TRENTON, May 6 In a debate that was more a get-acquainted session than a heated clash over the issues, the three Republican candidates for United States Senate last night engaged in a largely genial exchange on taxes, Social Security, the environment and combating terrorism. The candidates, all of whom have name recognition in the single-digits, according to recent polls, went to great lengths in a televised debate on New Jersey Network public television to lavish praise on President Bush. They all made passing reference to the ethical questions that have dogged the incumbent they hope to unseat, Democratic Senator Robert...

    With the primary a month away, the three Republican U.S. Senate candidates are poised for a competitive stretch run with the winner possibly being determined during the last weekend of the race.
