Election Gossip.
Speculation is rife in congressional
circles as to what may be expected
in the campaign next year 1t is
nine months off, it is true, but 1t is
somewhat of a habit among congress
men to hardly get accustomed to the
routine work of a session before the
question of adjournment is consid

election passed into history before
there is more or less discussion as to
the campaign that will follow the
next year.

Allan l.. McDermott, of Hudson

have been fights made against Mr..
Loudenslager in the first district in;

been assured. His friends feel that
next year he will again be the candi-
date, and they think that in the in
terest of harmony and the good of
the district he will be the choice
once more.
Sentiment for Howell.
Representative Gardner has been
a faithful representative for the sec
ond district. He stands we'll with
his constituents and it is not consid-
cred likely that any one will want
to enter the lists against him, for the
present at least In the third dis
trict, made up of Middlesex, Mon |
mouth, and Ocean. counties, the SEN
tifnent is strong in favor of the re-
turn Of BENJAMIN F. Howell to the |
house OF representatives for another
torn. On account Of the conditions
in 0cenn nospts thas been said that
