ALL HAD A GOOD TIME

ALL HAD A GOOD TIME
From all accounts and sources of
those who have been sizing up the re-
speetive sizes of the Faganites' and
Dickinsonites' outings the figures show
that the Dickinsonites won out On the
eve of the primaries and the November
elction, the subject is the one that is most
discussed wherever politicians and inter-
ested voters congregate. The figures are
somewhat contradicting. The Faganites
claimed they had over three thousand.
Mr.. Witzell. one of the proprietors of
Witzell's Point View Grove where both
associations held &eir respective outings,
and who is general manager of the re-
sort, told News reporter last night that
so far as the sittings at the meal tables
were concerned he fed twenty six hum
dred Faganites and thirty-two hundred
Dickinsonites. Under-Sheriff John Erwin
told the same reporter that the actual
number of tickets of the the Dickinson
association that We're disposed of and
that could be accounted for was 2143.
Expert counters had sized up the morn
ing parade of the Faganites at 1918 Mr..
Witzell said he fed 2.600 Faganites. Pa
rades do not always indicate how an
election is going, but straws usually show
which way the wind is blowing. The
Government Inspectors count of the
boats at the gangway was 1913 for the
Faganftes and 1850 for the Dickinsons.
Both boats left from the foot of Grand
street. the Faganites aboard the steamer
Grand Republic and the Dickinsonites
aboard the Dreamland Both boats have
nearly the same capacity for passenger
carrying. There was hardly a chance TO
move around aboard the Dreamland, so
many passengers were there aboard. One
of the most striking features was the
absence of many familiar faces of Jer-
sey City politicians who have heretofore
been prominent on the Dickinson Asso-
ciation's outing. but the familiar faces
of leading Republicans throughout the
county were seen on yesterdays outing
and there was much enthusiasm. But
the Dickinsonites claim that the Fagan-
ties on their outing were principally COM
posed of Jersey City office-holders and
clerks of the various municipal depart
ments who were ordered to get out and
help swell the ranks as public political
advertisement. On yesterdays outing the
crowd that participated was very largely
made up of typical representatives of the
Republican Dae-v who do not hold nor
are they looking for eff:ef or clerks ;ps.
The biggest surprise of the event was
the boom for Prosecutor Willie II.
Speer for Governor. A great m i of
the participants smiled and said it was
a mere compliment. but the brilliant
young prosecutor told the News reporter
that he treated the compliment Seri-
ously and said he would be glad to re-
ceive the nomination.
Herman Walker, of Gutenberg, one of
the richest and most respected citizens
OF the county was slated as the regular
Republican nominee for Congress from
the Tenth Congressional district Mr..
Walker told the News reporter that he
would not accept the nomination under
any circumstances. The reporter was
also informed, but not from first hand.
that Aaron s. Baldwin, who was slated
for Surrogate, would decline the nominal
tion for that office. 1t was also rumored
that Marshall Van Winkle, who was
slated for denomination for Congress
from the Ninth District, was not anxious
for another term. But rumor also had it
that all three of the above named men
would be forced by the regulars to stand
for the nominations for which they had
been slated.
