GfNSgS mad signed 1.-THE term extenderss
yesterday afternoon Democratic primaries
for the election OF candidates for the
sprung election were held throughout Jer-
sey City last might
The candidates voted for were:-Mayor

Nolan, Aldermen James Burns, Ambross

NaIthanBel H. Smith, Rudolph E. Hart-
man and John E. Boldt.
There We're no contests owing to the
fact than there was only one candidats
for each office 10 be filled
THAT considerable interest was taken
In the proposition to hold an election no
matter what disposition was made of '.the
term extender' was apparent by the
heavy primary vote. The polls were open
from seven until mine O'Clock, and IN that
time more than two-thtrds of the regularly
enrolled Democrats voted.
OF course the akspiramts for the several
offices were elected. Their election gives
them priority in the fight for the nominal
to make UP the local ticket. It is said
that the candidates elected last night
will be the party's nominees when the
election as provided by 'tthe term ex-
tender is held. The proposition 10 hold
an election IN Aprn in defiance of 'the
term extender' has been abandoned and
the Democratic leaders have decided to
abide by the provisions of the new law.
10 test tine conStitu tdonalaty of the act
at nhlS late date would THE party leaders
say. be productive of no good. but might
on the other hand give the Republicans a
new lease of life.
1t has been hdnted by lawyers who have
bean consulted by the Democratic leaders
that it is too late to force an election
now Should the comsthtut tfoDality of 1.-THE
eUtender' be assailed and THE act
declared Illegal It is said by lawyers that
such a decision maght prevent a, Mayoralty
election next fall and allow the present
incumbent and others holding Office under
him TO be continued In Office until next
May, a regular spring election being held
IN April. This view of the situation has
caused the parity advisers to conclude that
it will be best TO not attack the act but
10 proceed under its provisions and allow
the Republicans ito enjoy the fruit od
their work until next fail.
Robert Davis when seen this morning
denounced the term extender forcibly, but
declared that he was opposed to forcing
aR election

is no question in my mind but what the
Rarty's nominees wsll be repudiated at

Republicans have continued themselves
