The Legislative Outlook.

A few lays ago we discussed at some
length the prospects of the Congress
sional campaign in his State, showing
| that there was a practical certainty OF
the election of four Democratic Con-
gressmen, with a fair chance tnat the
| number night be increased to six To-
| day we desire to direct attention to the
nrospects of the contest for State Sena-
tors and Assemblymen.
The Senate will be Republican, no mat
ter how the election may go. There
are fourteen hold-over members OF
whom eleven are Republicans. AS the
entire membership of the body is TWEEN
ty. the enemy enters on the race with
the victory already won. OR theSsslx
counties in which Senators are to be
elected, only two are certainly Demo
cratic. Hunterdon and Sussex. There is
a good chance of carrying everyone OF
them, however. Burlington and Passaie
are said to be in very favorable shape.
The candidate in Atlantic, Frederick
S~chuchardt, the present Senator and ex-
Mayor of Egg Harbor City, is an ex-
ceedingly popular young man with a good
record. 1t is extremely probable that
he will be elected. However, we are
willing to let our estimate of the newly
elected Senators stand 8 to 3. This
would make the Senate stand next year

Organization Among Bergen Demo-
Gratis.


A serious effort is now being made by
some of the Democrats of the Hill dis
trict to Neffect a permanent Democratic
organization in that section of the city
for the propagation of Democratic opin-
ion and to get out the Democratic vote
of that much neglected section. This is
a party enterprise which deserves every
sort of encouragement and support There
has long been need of energetic work
in the district. There can be no reason
able doubt but in a year OF two great
inroads might be made into the old cast
sand or thereabouts, and it will be a
wilful sacrifice of a great opportunity
if the present attempt at organization is
not stimulated until a strong and agrees
sivesS force has been stirred up in the
District.
Much interest has already been shown
in the project. At one meeting, as many
as two hundred and fifty Democrats were
present, and the young organization has
taken the enterDrising step of engaging
Bergen Hall for a mass meeting on the
evening of Saturday week. at which it
well as other prominent Democratic
leaders. At least for the purposes of
this campaign the Association is already
a success. It's presence in the District
has aroused interest in the campaign
and will help to bring out the Demo-
cratic vote.
But there is need of something more
than a campaign club. What the Dis
trict should nave is a permanent asso-
citation to keep up the fight in dull
times, and to keep track of voters be
tween elections. There is the Wanser
all around, day and night. 1t seduces
young men to vote away the interests
of their State and country with checker
games and euchre and
bowling competitions. when red fire and
oratory are not in order. Whatever
time of night you pass it from sunset
to midnight, it's bright windows throw
out an invitation to young men, with
glimpses of banners and pictures and
other gaudy lures displayed about the
walls. About once a week the more or
less dulcet tones of Tom" McEwan or
G. Frank Sutherland or Johnny Ding
wall or some other gushing eulogist of
the issues of thirty years g may be
heard rafting the fire escapes and Offend
ing the peaceful evening air.
One of the things no fellow can find
out is why there is not a Democratic
organization to offset the Wanser Club
and keep the young men out of mischief.
What weNwant Is a sort of political Sal
walton Army in the District with a nice
comfortable barrack and a lot of Halle-
luiah shouters to so out among the peo-
ple and save them from the snares
thrown out by the tempter from the
headquarters over Johnny Kaiser's
saloon.
This is q, good practical Democratic
