to be against the single headed water
| commission and that many Republicans
are voting against it.
Colonel Dickinson spent the greater
part of the morning at the Dickinson
Association Clubhouse, No. $50 Jersey
avenue. He went to the polls on Sixth
street, just east of Jersey avenue, about
s o'clock and cast his ballot. He spent
few minutes there talking with friends
and then went into the Dickinson club
house, where he remained with several
| of his lieutenants and heard by telephone
and otherwise reports of how things are
going.
COLONEL SAM is HOPEFUL.
A reporter for ''The News inter
viewed the Colonel When asked what
he thought the result will be, he reflect
ed a few minutes and said:-"Well, we
will elect Carey, and 1 think Manning's
chances are good"
'Toffey?"
"Yes, his chances are good, too." And
at this point the Colonel said: Il want
| to~deny story to the effect that myself
or the Republican party have issued a
statement conceding Zeller's election"
'How about the Republican Assembly
men?" the Colonel was asked.
"WeI, you see," said he, "the As
sembIymen run throughout the county" !"
"Does that mean that you don't think
they viii be electedg'
Il don't say that" was the Colonel's
reply, smiling.
"But the Freeholders run in dis
tricts?"
Eyes"
(Which of them do you think will be
elected?''
Everyone that has been nominated
is a good man and the count tonight will
tell the tale.'
Numerous election bets were made in
the Horseshoe district last night on the
Congressional fight in both the Ninth
and Tenth Districts. Those who bet on
Allan Benny took even money. The fol-
lowers of McDermott offered two to one
on his election and offered 10 to that
he would win by 5000.
A former leader of Democracy in the
county is said to have bet $1,000 against
S700 that McDermott will win by 1000
majority.
HEAVY VOTE IN THE SOUTH.
A heavy vote is being polled in the
Sixth, Seventh, Eighth and Ninth wards,
and from indications at two o'clock this
afternoon 95 per cent. Of the registration
will be polled.
In the Sixth ward, the friends of John
Kaiser are knitting the Republican candi-
dates, and in many cases voting the
straight Democratic ticket. The two
precincts in the Ninth Congressional dis
trict will surely go Democratic for Allan
Benny.
The Seventh ward will go Democratic.
Ehrhart for Freeholder will have a ma
jority of 300; Carlock, the Aldermanic
candidate, 200. Benny will carry the
ward by small margin.
The Eight ward, nominally Republican
by 1920, will be greatly reduced, al
though it is the home of the Republican
Congressional candidate.
William e. Smith, candidate for
Freeholder in the Ninth ward, is making
a desperate fight against strong Repub-
lican majority. While Smith will surely
beat. out his Republican opponent by a
small margin, there is little probability of
any other of the Democratic ticket get
ting through.
VICTORY IN THE TENTH.
Throughout every district of the Tenth
Ward the voting began in a brisk man
ner early, although the heaviest voting
is anticipated this afternoon. This ward
has always been known as a Democratic
stronghold, but the majority will be the
largest ever given the Democratic ticket.
The general sentiment among both Re
publicans and Democrats is that John
Zeller, Allan Benny and Frank McNally
will be given one of the largest majori-
ties ever given any candidate by this sec
ton of the County.
There is no doubt about the large ma
jority William Pairson, the Democratic
candidate for Freeholder, will receive.
which will greatly help the whole ticket.
Although Constable Joseph Locke, the
Republican candidate, has been elected
by the Democratic vote each year, it
loks very much as though James Bogie,
his opponent, would be elected against
