NEED FOR VIGILANCE.
ONLY BY DILIGENT WORK CAN sOMER-
SET BE MADE SAFE.

A Somerset County Republican who is IN close
touch with the political situation there SAID yester-
day that the danger which Senator Reed ana the
other Republican candidates have to fear most is
the apparent apathy OF the voters. The outlook he
said. is not dscouraging but It seems Impossible 10
Arouse the Republicans to the Importance OF the
election, and TO the fact that the Democrats, al
though they do not appear 10 be more Interested
than their opponents. are working Systematically
and earnestly TO get ont their full vote Too much
reliance il being placed. he thought upon the po-
litcal Inconsistency Of Mr.. Bergen. and upon tho
idea that his legislative record IS 50 offensive to
many Democrats that. although they will not take
the trouble to 90 to the polls to vote against him,
tney will remain at home. and SO maintain their
allegiance 20 their party. This may be so In some
individual instances but the fact is that Mr.. Ber-
gen is popular man among the Democrats, and
has a winning way OF pleading his own cause
which will bring back almost all the Democrats
