publican Congressional Campaign Com
mittee IS counting upon New Jersey IT,
SEND Republican to the United States
Senate. Chairman Babcock. of the COM
mittee, and Secretary Mckee are both
confident of this outcome of the APP
preaching election in the State.
When asked yesterday afternoon for the
Foundation upon which they based this
hope of capturing the Legislature, they
said that the reports which they had
received We're sufficient to warrant the
belief They had been given to under
stand that the circumstances which led
to the gains of tie Republicans in the
last campaign still continue and tha:
there is throughout the State q general
feeling of apathy and disCcatent OF the
part of the democrats las for Senator
Mcfherson,'' said Secretary Mckee;
''he dare not show his face before the
people. He will not dare 10 he can
aldate but even If he should We can and
will carry the State
The anxiety of the republicans to cap
tire New Jersey is due to the fact that
they i.ope by gaining ma.eI ty in the
Legislature of two or three Democratic
States t. overturn the narrow hold by
which the Demoeclt.; now control ,he
senate They therafo-e propose TO make
New Jersey a fighting ground and will

furthest possible evtent. AS for the Con-

SMITHS QUEER LETTER.
Secretary Carlisle is not little mys-
titled at receiving from the President
a long letter from Senator Smith of New
Jersey, earnestly requesting the immedl-
ate appointment of John F. Connolly of
New Jersey to the post made vacant
by the resignation of the Republican Col
lector of Internal Revenue. Senator
Smith states that he would not make
the request at this time, when the Presi-
dent is of necessity employed with many
important matters, but for the reason
that the condition of the Democratic
party in the State is such that a change
in the office, and especially the appoint
ment of Mr.. Connoly, seems necessary
to Democratic success in the coming cleo
tions.
The reason why Secretary Carlisle is
surprised at Senator Smiths earnest re-
Guest is that the Senator is already on
record in the Appointment Division as a
strong hacker of ex-Mayor Joseph H
HAYNES of Newark Mr.. Haynes petit
ton is signed by Senator Smith and all
the Democratic members of the New
Jersey delegation in the House and by
Chairman Harrity of the National Demo-
cratic Committee. While there are no
less than dozen candidates for the Col
Iectorship which is worth $4,000 or more,
HAYNES has been looked upon as the
choice of the regular organization, and it
was expected that the President and Sec
retary Carlisle would agree upon his ap
pointment.

the day before he sailed for Europe, but
