nuncs who predicted much cutting OF Congressman
H. c. Loudenslager in The LIST Congress district and
his probable defeat were nonpussed by his big
majority in Camden County where 1t was anticl-
pated he would be slaughtered, owing to the bitter
ness remaining from the fight put up against him
at the primaries But the majority OF about $500
which Congressman Loudenslager received in Cam
den County is conclusive proof State Assessor
David Baird and his lieutenants. who backed Van
SAINT against Loudenslager for the nomination. were
honest in their declarations of loyalty 10 him as
the party nominee.
Baird Is a leader who does not lightly give his
word 10 a political opponent out given it is
good his bond. He earnest and hearty
in his support OF Loudensager the nominee he
was in opposition TO him as candidate for the
nomination. But there is complaint from the Baird
side that their loyal support Of Loudenslsger was
not reciprocated; that the Congressman's hench-
men Joined hands with the Democrats in attempt
defeat Christopher J. Mines, the Republican can
didate for Sheriff. he owed his nomination
TO Baird. and his defeat would go far toward weak
ening Baird the leader In Camden County.
That Mines knitted at the polls is shown by
the tremendous slump i'm his vote as compared with
that Of Loudenslager This proof of treachery has
inflamed the factIonal feeling which was covered
and had been growing cold up to the day of
election. HencefOrth. although there may be
sembance of harmony in the relations of State
Assessor David Baird and Congressman Louden-
slayer, their interests will clash until one or the
other is hopelessly beaten.
The Congressman seems have the advantage at
present but Baird has a firm grip the party
organization i'm Camden County. and since both
Salem and Gloucester, the other counties of the
LIST District, have gone 20 the Democrats, Mr..
Loudenslager must look TO Camden for support. In
fact, the Congressman owes his election to Cam
den the other two counties returning a majority
against him. and had Baird resorted to the methods
once used in the old LIST Congress District TO de-
feat Congressman George NJ Robson, Mr.. Louden-
slayer would probably not nave scored MS slxtn
