Politics In Hudson county. n. J.. especially
Democratic politics. are considerably mixed
this fall. There are Sheriff. Coroner. and
eleven members OF Assembly TO DO elected.
Several months ago Boss Dennis Mclaughlin
announced officially that Edward II. Stanton
would get the Sheriff nomination. Stanton
has been Sheriff for year under appointment
| from Gov Abbott lie was appointed to NIL
| tho vacancy caused by tho death OF Sheriff
| McPhillps.
Boss Robert Davis. who Ia co-oaual in
authority with DOES Mclaughlin. demurred at
llrst. Ito was afraid Stanton could not win.
lie was also afraid that as between himself and
Mclaughlin Stanton. IL elected. would give
his allegiance to Mclaughlin. He was finally
persuaded that stanton was the proper man to
nominate. and he Is now supporting Stanton.
After Davis fell into line 1t seemed to be all
smooth sailing for stanton. With the two
bosses backing him. there could be little II
any doubt OF his nomination.
But storm has arisen, and the political sea
Is not only RULED. but the angry waves are
growing higher and higher and becoming
more threatening every day. A very large and
very powerful proportion OF the dstrictleaders
and OF the rank and file are Ia open revolt.
Democratic organizations in some OF the dis
tricts have declared az ain at Stanton's nomina-
ton. on the ground that 1t would DO inju-
dicious at this time.
In other districts Democratic clubs. organ
lied under the new plan OF org anization formu-
lated by the Central COMMITTEES. have adopted
resolutions protesting against the dctation OF
nT n,da and demanding that tho district
Ieuuers ana the delegates who have been
elected DO permitted to exercise some udg-
ment OF their own.

The Democratic Convention will be held to-
morrow. and there will be a strong OPPOSE
ton to stanton. although the general impress
sion Is that he will get the nomination, Sow

solid delegation from the Third district In
nvor OF his nomination. Judge Frank KIM
