Yesterdays primaries We're red-hot.
,rhe organization tickets won all along
the line and the Fagan-ColDy New
Idea' ticket was smashed throughout
the State. In Jersey City the contest
was close. owing to the Mayors personal
popularity, but it was generally conceu'
ed at two O'Clock this morning thar Coi.
Dickinson, his arch political enemy, had
gained control of both the city and coun-
~ conventions The Colby faction OF
the Republican, party was showed under
in Essex, and the New Ideaists' weni
down to defeat in almost every section
of the State.
In this city the fight between the two
Republican factions was extremely DIT
ter. In the first district of the seventh
ward the whole Election Board-James
Kaiser and William ]. Jordan, Repub-
licans, and James Dwyer and Eugene
Gordon. were arrested on complaint OF
City Collector Fry. who charged that the
Board failed to properly canvass Re-
publican ballots upon which the name
of Max Cohan had appeared on paster
as a candidate for delegate TO the city
convention.
The Faganites carried the Fifth,
Seventh. Eigth. Ninth Eleventh, and
Twelfth Wards The Dickinsonites car
ried the First, Second. Third. Fourth,
Sixth and Tenth Wards. While the split
is eyen,so far as wards are concerned
the Eaganites will probably have ma
jorlty of delegates in the city conyeation,.
Which would mean the nomination OF
Thomas McManus and William X. liar
rison for Street and Water Commlss on
ers There is no doubt that the regulars
will control the county convention, az
though the Faganites We're reported at
late hour TO have carried West Huds on
West Hoboken and Weehawken. Inc
Republican county ticket VIII pc anu,
Record Pagan. Bayonne Hoboken ana
the smaller townships of North Hudson
saved the day for Colonel Dickinson. :.
The Fagan-R Record faction will control
the congressional convention and VIII
nominate Alderman-at-Large James W.
Mccarthy for congress. The regulars
will name the candidate in the Tenth
Congressional district.
Much pleasure is derived by the DICK
ison organization followers over the de
feat of George l.. Record in his own pre-
cicint The vote there was W Tor the
regular ticket and u for the Faganltes
Mr. Colby by the way was alos defeated
in his voting district. The fact that both
men. who are the head ofth e New Idea
movement were beaten by Their close
niighbors is being commented upon ira
most interesting manner Col. Dickinson
carried his election district in the Third
ward hy q handsome ma ]0Tlty.
On the Democratic side much inter-
est was manifested in the Freehoid~r
nomination contests Democratic Leader
Robert Davis played no part OF boss.
He had his own choice, the same as any
voter should have, but he gave al the
candidates loose rein and sad 20 y, J.,
let the best man win. His choice III

captured the nomination. His Democrat
ic opponents were joseph Flemmlng ana
George b. Riley, Former Assistant Clerk
Of the Jersey City Board of Finance. In
the Eigth Ward Fred Gebhardt had no
opposition. One of the surprises OF the
day was the defeat of Frank Scott by
Harry Higgins in the Ninth. Ward.
Patrick Rodkershad a waik-oyer IN the
Tenth; Luke Clark was unopposed in the
Eleventh, and Charles Schmidt, unoppo-
sed, in the Twelfth are the Democratic
nominees in those two wards.
There was much interest manifested Ia
the outcome of the fight between the
Dickinsonte and Faganise fact. on for
