BIC VOTE o SHERIFF

Mark NJ Pagan, opposed by every
boss, by every railroad and corporation
has been re elected Mayor OF Jersey
City by a plural ty of $500, carrying
With him not only every candidate for
city office on his ticket, but possibly
every candidate ftr county Office and for
the Assembly in Hudson County.
Pagan lid this in the face Of tremen-
dous opposition brought by the Republl-
can boss, Col. Samuel D. Dickinson, and
against heaps Of money sent out to buy
votes and bride election officers This
money was furnished By the railroad In
]terests, the Public Service Corporation
in particular, and the corporations
Jersey City can hardly realize to-day
that this victory over bosslsm has been
accomplished. Mayor Pagan, when nom
mated by the Republican Convention,
rtpudiated his " party In accepting
the ~rOminatlOn, and declared.
81 will accept this nomination on con-
AlAlOll lllhA / AN " 70 IO lldu > man,
and II nominated ! will represent the
people, and not the railroads and minor
moaopolIes."
Campaign Very Bitter.
II Fagan's domination could have
been prevented at the last moment, II
would have been done. But this was
impossible. The people, tired Of corrup-
tion IN city affairs, demanded It. Pagan
stood on his record az Mayor during
two administrations, and no sooner was
The nomination handed him than he be-
gan % bitter campaign against some Of
the men who had nominated him.
The machine Democrats and the ma.
ch.pe Republicans, under the command
u Dickinson, turned against Pagan.
The people demanding an overthrow
Of boss rule hocked to Pagan, Pagan
yesterday suspended Chief Of Police
Murphy, believing that he would not
deal fairly during election day. Jersey
City was under Individual police rule
for one day, with Frank Monahan, a
patrolman, now under charges for al
legged false swearing, at the head Of the
department.
The bitter feeling that was manifested
all day was at the boiling point last
night and early to-day, when the count
began to show that Pagan would be
elected, Two hundred deputy sherirs
were against the uniformed police. A
clash was imminent many times.
Then, as the vote showed the cleo
ton Of Pagan, 1t also showed the cleo
ton OF James Mccarthy for Preslden;
Of the Board OF Aldermen by 1910 plu-
rality, who was opposed by KroutzIg,
Democrat. George Berry and Andrew
Knox were elected Commissioners Of
Street and Water Supply, over their
Democratic opponents, Thomas j. Cor
rlgan and Frank Donnelly, by a plu-
rality Of $50 votes, This Il the first
time In twenty years that Republicans
have held these offices. The election
Of the Republicans was most surprising.
Sheriff Got Biggest Plurality,
Inv bItdlebt pluIdllly WIS Wdue ug
John C.. Kaiser, who Was carried into
the Sheriff Office In Jersey City by a
plurality Of 5,i-J and n ltmS'. Comfy
BY a plurality OF $500. The county
usually gives a Democratic plurality Of
from 1000 to 1900. KaIser's opponent
was Egbert Seymour, former Mayor OF
BlyOnne, and a dyed-In-the wool organ
izltion a
Il was stated Of positive authority
that seven Of the Aldermen had been
carried through by Pagan, and that
there was lltle doubt that three other
candidates running on the Independent
Republican ticket had been elected.
The Standard-New says 70 a bulletin /
that every Republican candidate for
the Assembly In Hudson County has
elected. Democrats say that here
Is a dou-t about this. West Hohoken
ana Bayonne may yet defeat the FagaA
ticket FOR Assembly.
