RESULT OF A DEMOCRATIC QUARREL

RESULT OF A DEMOCRATIC QUARREL
The appointment of Andrew H. Kirkpatrick, OF
Newark to succeed Ludlow McCarter as Law
Judge of Essex County by Governor Albeit, is the
outcome of bitter fight among Democratic poll
ticans in Newark on the issue of the Judgeship.
McCarter was appointed by Governor Mcclellan
and his term will expire next month. He belongs
to the Kelsey and anti-Abbett wing of the Democ-
racy, and it was asserted that the Governor only
desired an excuse to decline reappointing him.
This excuse was furnished by MoCarters enemies
In the legal profession and by the open and deter,
mined opposition Of the trades unions sixteen OF
which united in petition to the Governor that
McCarter be not reappointed. The enemies OF the
trades unions arose from the fact that two years
some of the members of the Early Closing Associa,
ton for tr, ing to 1ntimidate a businessman and
interfering with his business unlawfully. lhe OF
fence was prosecuted under the Conspiracy act.
The association which is composed of retail clerks,
