THE CLAIMS OF THE FIRST.
The sleit and stalwart men of the
First precinct think that one of their
number should have the prize. Said one
of them to u JERSEY CITY NEWS reporter
today
The First Precinct Is the foremost and
the representative precinct of the CITY,
| 1t was the flower of the force, aud the
proper thing will nappeu if one OF us
goes to Chicago. 1t is we who have the
most of the hard work to do. We guard
| The busiest, the most populous parts of
| the city, the parts where the toughs from
New York, FROM foreign countries, and
from resorts along the docks LOOK about
| for their stealing aud lawless operations.
| We are not in the country. ike

who don't have cnance to make an ar
rest once week; we don't have only to

respectable in close contact with the idle
and vicious, aud, therefore, our duties
are more arduous and exacting than

not in it with US when you come to COM

CONFIDENCE IN THE SECOND.
The Reporter came across q Second pre-
| cinct man and mentioned TO him some OF
the ideas of the man IL the First. The

Germs should follow. He believed that

| to Chicago. Patrolman Higgins is de-
serveuly popular, aad his friends have
| concluded to push him for the honorable
| pleasure trip. Patrolmau Higgins ought
to make a good run. and there is every
| indication that he will.
| VOTING WILL BE GENERAL.
| Some of the force who would like we'll

the prospect is that the voting will
