VOTING.
Balloting All Over the
County Is Heavy and
Democratic Victory
Is Assured.
CONFIDENT
CANDIDATES
Allan McDermott and Allan
Benny Both Have No
Fear for the Result,

The election is progressing quietly and
orderly in this city. In the lower section
the early morning vote was much heav-
ier than it was in the Republican strong
holds on the Heights. This was not con-
sidered significant, as the residents of
the Heights are not such early risers as
those in the lower section. Robert Da-
Wis was in his office in the City Hall this
morning ready to give advice to voters
and election officers, and prepared to see
that no citizen was deprived of his vote.
With him were Police Justice Murphy
and Assemblyman John DENIM prepar-
ed to furnish any legal assistance that
might be required.
Mr.. Davis was in compliment frame
of mind. He had no fear whatever for
the result, and said that the entire Demo-
cratic ticket would be elected. When
asked what he thought of Benny's
chances, Mr.. Davis said that he would
1
be elected.
THAT statement of Father Meyers
against Mr.. Benny will be worth 100
votes to Benny in Bayonne, and if it
had only been sprung a week ago, it
would be worth 1000. There is nothing
in the affair, even if the Fathers charge
against him was true Nobody is infu-
enced by such a statement, and it will
not do Mr.. Benny any HARM" Mr.. Da-
Wis predicted that the act providing for
a single-headed Street and Water Com
mission would be rejected by good ma
jority.
MIR. McDERMoTT CONFIDENT.
Mr.. Allan L. McDermott was at his
home on Crescent avenue when he was
asked for his views of today's result by
a reporter of .sThe News
Il am perfectly confident of a big
success for the Democratic ticket to-
day." said he 'aThe enemy is in re-
treat and we will, am convinced, sweep
the county. There is every indica ton

BENNY NOT WORRIED.
Allan Benny has been a very busy
man all day. He was all over the dis
trict doing all he could to help along
the cause he represents. He was cheer
full and confident that he would pull
through. If the charges made against
him by Father Meyers worried him any
he did not show it. He said that the
matter would do him no injury and that
he would be elected by good majority.
HORSESHOE DOING WELL.
In the Second and Third wards, bet
ter known as the Horseshoe dis
trict,' up to noon about one-half of the
registered vote was polled. The officers
in charge Of thu polling places said they
considered it was good PERCENTAGE of
the vote owing to the fact that the day
was deculared holiday by a great many
business houses. While it is impossible
to get a good line ON which party is poll
ing the most votes, the Democratic voters
claim that in almost every district of
each ward the Democrats have major
ity. and they predict big majorities when
the dnal count is made tonight.
a Democratic worker in the Second
ward this morning said:--"Allan Z. Nc
permott will receive majority Of be-
tween /, 800 and 1900 in this ward and
Johp Zeller and Frank McNally, Will
lam Kelly and Richard Fallahee will 80
higher.
They SAY too that the sentiment seems
