CAMPAIGN PROSPERS
Republican Leaders Con-
ceding Democratic Vic

COUNTY COMMITTEE APPEAL
Funds Needed to Meet Expenses
Many Mass Meetings
This Week.
Stevens, O'Donnell and Nine Demo-
cratic Assemblymen Sure
To Be Elected.

The quiet manner in which the cam
paign is progressing it regarded as
harbinger of defeat by the Republican
party leaders The candidates OF both
parties are doing considerable hustling
and the outlook is that an unusually
heavy vote will be polled. Republicans,
who two weeks ago would have wagered
any amount of money that the tariff
souabble and hard times would result in
an overwhelming Republican victory,
have become less confident day by day;
now they are expressing themselves as
fearful that there is going to be tidal
wave next week Democratic candidates
are being met with cheers at every turn,
and the indications are that voters who
deserted the party last fall have had
enough of Republican government, and
intend to again support the principles of
Democracy.
Republican candidates have attempted
to raise the cry that the old ring bosses
are again in control of the Democratic
party, but all efforts to disrupt the party
in any section of the county have been
of no avail.
ENCOURAGING REPORTS.
The most encouraging reports have
been received at Democratic headquarters
from every district in the city Party
workers are not spending money making
a noisy campaign. They are confining
their efforts to convincing voters that
Democratic government is the only gov
ernment for the people of Hudson
County.
Inroads are being made into Republi-
can strongholds daily. Every political or
ganization in the county is working
earnestly and harmoniously for the en-
tire ticket.
In Harrison and Kearny the situation
is encouraging. 1t is estimated that Col.
Stevens and Michael J. O'Donnell will
run from five to eight hundred votes
ahead of the ticket. Mr.. O'DonneH is
gaining strength daily, and it is conf
IDENTIFY expected that he will be given the
largest vote ever polled by a county can
didate.
ASSEMBLY CONTEST.
| The Assembly contest is hot one, and
| at Democratic headquarters it is consid-
| cred likely that nine of the eleven mem
| bers returned from the county will be
| Democrats. How the Freeholder fight is
| going to result is causing considerable
| speculation 1t is conceded by Republic
| can leaders that the board will be Demo-
cratic How the election is going to go
in this city is puzzling. One of the
| sure winners is William Heller The old
! o'Neills are doing splendid work for him,
| and it is probable that ne will receive
| the support of many Republicans.
