FIFTH'S DARK HORSE
Davis Makes the Usual Solemn
Promise to Loyalty Support
the Ticket.


bly, nominations this fall than ever be-
fore. Every man who has had bee
in his bonnet for the past five years is on
the move. 1t requires only the sigma
lures of twenty reputable Democrats to
a petition to become a candidate at a
primary. 1t will require many more than
twenty votes to become party candi-
date, however. Under the old convention
system, where the rings orders were i'm
perative. aspiring candidates had no
earthly show, unless acceptable to the
bosses The system started by the re-
form movement, that of electing candi-
dates at primaries, has given every one
an equal chance.
The amount of hand shaking already
being done is amusing. The only fear
entertained by heelers now is that 'sore
heads" and there will of necessity, be
number, will bolt the regular candidates
Nothing but dissatisfaction can re-
suit, if this is done.'' said prominent
Democrat yesterday.
While there are a host of prospective
Assembly candidates sailing around, un-
der the wing of the Reform movement,
there are an equal number who are
sticking to the old bosses and are now
hustling for votes.
FIRST DISTRICT.
In this class Richard SaIter. proprietor
! of Salter's Woodbine, is making a lively
canvass in the First Assembly District.
He is being well supported. He has as
an opponent Richard Smock, of Bayonne,
who is in the employ of the Freeholders.
He is not lacking in friends and his name
will be counted many times on ballots
when the polls close the night of the
primary.
In the Second Assembly District, where,
owing to the great Republican majority,
1t used to be difficult matter to get
Democrat to run, the friends of Ferdin-
and Heintz are pushing him forward,
confident that his popularity through
out the county will carry him through
safely. If he secures the nomination,
however, he will have to defeat Fred
Kellegher, who gave Max Salinger such
a scare last fall. Max defeated him by
only 500 in a district having 1000 Repub-
icanma jority.
DR.. Fred Lampson is also in the race.
He is not much of hustler, but he has
a small army of friends, who believe that
his nomination will secure the support
of many out and out Republicans. Mich
xae - esloor keeper, of Lafay-
5 bonnet. He has
able oaea.--s money, and his
friends are men VINO always vote at
primaries. He may prove dangerous
Counsellor Murphy, who was defeated
last fall believes that the party is better
organized now than then. He knows of
no reason why he should not be can
didate this fall. His friends think like
wise. and will make fight for him.
MIR. BEDLE A CANDIDATE.
In the Third District there is fine
array of talent. There are three men in
the race for the nomination, they are
Thomas Egan, Joseph D. Bedle, Jr., and
James Hall. Either of the men, if NOM
mated. will poll a big vote. 1t is be-
lieved that Egan could get the nomnia-
tion. but he has been asked to switch
over and support Mr.. Bedle. Mr.. Hall
will make fight against Mr.. Bedle, and
led hot primary is a certainty
In the Fourth District there is another
trio of aspirants. The strongest one ap-
pears to be J. Henry Adeling, a grocer at
Essex and Warren streets. Counsellor
Alexander Simpson has the support of
the old O'Neill rooters, and he will make
things lively for Mr.. Adeiing. Hugh Am
brose Kelly has not abandoned the idea
of being candidate. His friends, how
ever. win give it to him "in the neck"
by merely giving him a complimentary
vote Mr.. Kelly is popular in the Fourth
and he may turn his votes over to Simp-
son.
DARK HORSE IN THE FIFTH.
The Fifth District has trio also. Har-
ry Wait believes that he can win, and
further that he will add considerable
strength to the head of the ticket. Harry
will probably wait until later to show his
strength. Louis Finke, a brother of the
decorator, is hot after the nomination
He has the German vote with him, and
he will make lively fight. But there is
a dark horse. If he will run the NOM
ination will be his without a struggle.
In the Sixth District there is a peculiar
state of affairs. The only man up that
way who thinks he can win is George
Richter, secretary of the Mclaughlin As
sociation. Richter is q popular young
man, and with the support of the Nc
Laughlins, will probably carry the prim-
ary..
In the Seventh there is the usual dis
agreement. Joe Carney, of Harrison, a
coal dealer. declares that he owns the
town. and thepeople in it. Joe Mullins,
of Arlington, d uidCulASIy Cl,
Is in the race and will probably come out
q winner. Matthew Lawless will oppose
him ana so will ex-Freeholder "BilP'
Tferney and Counsellor Edward Kenny.
ON THE HILL.
In the Eighth District Emil Mehl is
the only man spoken of seriously He
IS regarded as a strong candidate.
In the Ninth Coroner William n. Pars-
low is making a lively canvass. He sat
tsfies the Democrats of that district. and
he may be the nominee.
In the Tenth, Colonel Erlenkotter again
comes to the front. He is an independ-
ant Democrat in every sense of the word.
He is a strong candidate, and his friends
insist upon his remaining.
In the Eleventh the accustomed con-
tentfon is missing. The Democrats have
decided to take up Jimmy" Usher and
send him along with a bang.
Democrats who do not exactly like the
new system of electing candidates. but
who submit to it because they have to,
have fixed up this slate:-Fcr Congress,
Colonel Il. A. Stevens; for Register, G.
Bragg Fielder; for County Clerk, Mich
ael j. O'Donnell; for Director-at-Large
of the Board of Chosen Freeholders.
