Patsy Londrigan's Fight for the
MayOrally-Warm Contests
Developing.

Politics in Hoboken are getting hotter
and hotter every moment. and there IS no
doubt but that the present campaign
will be marked as the livliest the city ever
had.
'sPatsey" Londrigan is making super
human efforts to capture votes for Mayor.
Yesterday he circulated a document in
the city, headed "I.et the People Rule
Vote for Londrigan for Mayor
Speaking about the present administra-
tion Of the city affairs, Patsey says that
one-third Of the police are chair warmers
Tomorrow night Patsey will go down to
the headquarters:of the Lime Kiln Club.
He will pick up a German band on the
way down, and IL is probable that be will
have no trouble in mastering enough
boys who, delighted at the prospect Of free
beer, will Join in the parade. A wood
wagon will be rugged up with transpar-
ency, which no doubt will be full Of
hieroglyphics. It Will be a great night
Tor tine small boy.
The canvass OF Tangemann appears to
lack energy. The Republicans who drew
TaHgemann into the race are sorry they
did 1t now. The JERSEY CITY NEws has
exploded Mr.. Tangemann's Republican,
ism. The NEws' story was read with a
great deal OF interest by the Republicans.
Tangemann will be the last man in the
race.
In the meanwhile the canvass Of Ed
ward X. Stanton. the regular Democratic
nominee, goes forward quietly but effect
lively. Tne better class OF citizens recog-
nj ze that Mr.. Stanton is better fitted for
the Office than either of his opponents
and he will receive their support.
The people of the Fourth Ward. whom
Mr.. Stanton represented in the Council
for many years, VIII give him a rousing
majority. Besides. there is a great ceal
OF ward pride in the contest. II is the
first time in the history of the city that a
Mayor has been nominated from the
Fourth Ward, and It is said that Mr..
Stanton will carry the ward by nearly one
thousand plurality. In the other three
wards he viii more than hold his own.
Within the past few days Michael
Byrnes, the independent candidate in the
First ward. has developed extraordinary
strength, and Councilman Bewig, the
regular nominee, will have to look sharp.
Last night the Jefferson Association of
the First ward met at Coyle's Hall, and
decided to support Byrnes. This Is a stormy
club, and the endorsement was quite a
surprise to Bewig's friends. Byrnes will
also receive the endorsement OF the club
that meets at Kelly's tomorrow night.
He will also be supported bv great num-
Der of Germans. Councilman Bewig is
not disturbed. however, and thinks he
win The party leaders also think that
Bewig will win by a small majority.
In the Third Werd Cornelius J. Tahen,
the regular Democratic nominee, is max
ing many friends. John B. Acker and
James Roarty, dummy candidates, are in
the race only 10 defeat Tahen and elect
Hayens, the Republican candidate. Tahen
will land a winner in spite of all. II is
thought that they will finish in this order,
Tahen, Haveus, Acker and Roarty.
Abe Sanford, the regular Democratic
candidate for School Trustee, is one of
the Oldest citizens in the ward. He at
one time represented the Third ward in
the Council, and if elected to the School
Board he will make an excellent repre-
sentative.
In the Fourth ward Ingleson is making
a stiff fight against the regular nominee,
William Fenton, but FenJon will win.
