Republican Leaders plan to
Change the Complexion
Of Democratic Strong
hold.
THE EFFORT OF THEIR LIVES
Big Hopes That Presidential
Candidates Will Drag the
Whole Ticket
Through.

| Already the local Republican leaders in
| this county are talking over plans for the
| campaign now about to begin and the
| indications are that no stone will be left
| unturned to change the political complex
| ion of the county from Democratic to
| Republican.
The leaders believe that this fall there
is an excellent chance to carry their can
didates for Congress. Assembly and Free
holders. and they mean to put the best
men possible on the ticket. At present
they have not prepared slate and the
favored or unfavored ones, as the case
may he, will not be known until about
October at the latest. They are fully con-
WINGED that Mckinley and Roosevelt will
carry the county and if good men are put
on the ticket there is good chance to
elect them.
| For Congress there have already several
names been mentioned. OF course the
perennial candidates for that place are
already beginning to crop up. Isaac f.
| Goldenhorn, now on his wedding tour,
| long ago asserted his claims to the nomi-
nation. Ikey will see that the Republican
party does not put him on one side for
the great services he has rendered it. He
! has a rival, Robert Carey, which potent,
! grave and reverend seignior because of
| the many speeches he has made for the
| party, believes 1t should come his way.
| Lawyer w. H. Speer, too, it is said, has
a strong claim, and there is John P. Lam
! drine mustn't forget Jack Graham and a
| host of other patriots eager to serve their
| party by immolation on its affairs.
| John j. Erwin, though scotched at the
recent fight in the County Committee, and
| in his race for the Shrievalty nomination.
! is by no means killed. In a few weeks he
and his friends are going to Rye Beach to
| eat clans, drink beer and talk politics,
and some of his henchmen say John has
| something up his sleeve. With such dis
| tinguished advisers as John Brennan,
| VIM. Eaton, George Francis, Richard
Dewey (no relation to the AdmiraD, Sam
Blakey and Horace Farrier, what cannot
he accomplish?
| Meanwhile Col. S. D. Dickinson. P. F.
Wanser, Ed. w. Woolley, J. Z. Macarthur
and e. Fry, the big five. initiate Brer
Rabbit These astute gentlemen are let
/ ting the smaller fry do all the talking,
and when these have exhausted their
wind and energy then the serious work
will begin.
1--WE will have good ticket never fear"
said State Committeeman Fry, few days
ago. There's plenty of time to talk about
that" That was all Mr.. Fry would saw.
and when he doesn't want to talk the
statue of silence is a parrot beside him.
| One thing every Republican in the coun-
| ty seems to agree upon and that is the
| political humiliation of ex-Congressman
l MoT' hot ic.d lie
gusted with Mckinley. The second of the
| four members composing the famous
McEwan Association recently said
my brother work for Mckinley? He'll
| do to him what he has done to him. He
| robbed him of his postoffices, and that
was like taking money out of my brothers
| pocket"
| The Congressman is now regarded by
Republicans as a possible Democrat, and
| his election as a member of the Davis As
sociation is not unexpected.
