fill the unexpired term of the late Con-

of 3,4o3, but for the full two year term to
follow he has 1872 votes less or 3,2l1 more

MARK Fagan for State Senator by $3.50
votes, although the Republican candidate
came within 4S2 of carrying Jersey City.

That city is in the Eighth Congressional
district, but if Hudspeths plurality there
is added TO NcDermott's vote it would
make the Democratic Congressional and
Senatorial candidates run about even.
