William G. Heppenheimer. Kern is rum
ming as the "kickers" candidate.
He wanted the Republicans to indorse
him, but the party of high moral ideas
did not want to be found in such bad
company and refused the request. In
stead of doing as Kern wished, they put
up candidate of their own. He is Cal
win Peck, a carpenter in the employ of the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
Railroad. Kern would like to be elected
himself, but it would please him almost
as well TO have Heppenheimer defeated.
The Democrats of the district are up in
arms against Kern, and the respectable
Republicans are all working for Heppen-
heimer. The gallant Colonel himself is
making house to house canvass and is
confident of success. Kern'S followers
are made up Of the worst element in the
district, and the respectable voters, ire
spectiye of party, are determined to
shelve him. And what could be more to
their credit?
The Freeholder contest Is no less excit-
ing than the Assembly. Freeholder
Adam Smith is on the Democratic ticket
with Colonel Heppenheimer and against
him is School Director Charles Ping
stein. The fKickers' have endorsed
Pfingstein. Both are fighting hard to
make votes, but as the district has five

ated James Irwin for Assembly and DR..
Dallas for Freeholder. The ''Kickers,"
too, have put ticket in the field Ex-
Police Commissioner John Smith is their
candidate for Assembly and John Ertle
for Freeholder. 1t is not thought that
Smith and Ertle will poll more than four

trict, will get q number of Republican
votes.

endorse Dennis Gallagher, who has been
nominated by the "Kickers. Gallagher
will not run without the Republican en-
dorsement.
The Democratic majority in the district
is estimated at two two thousand. Kelly,

Endorsement, Gallagher, who is saloon
keeper, would be dangerous.
