NEW AUTO FLYER.
Car Tried on Coney Island Boulevard Ex.

was done In 10 seconds and then two half
miles followed In o:2o lis and OIL SIS. On the

Special to the Herald.
Trenton, n. J., Sept. 25.-The po-
litical contest that is being fought out
in the state primaries today has
stirred New Jersey from Cape May
TO the New York state line The con
test is one Of the most interesting
and exciting that this state has seen
in years.
The Republican party is divided in
to two hostile factions, very much as
the party is divided in Wisconsin.
The "stalwarts" in New Jersey this
year are called regulars" and the
half breeds" are known as Colby
ties. "reformers" or new idea" men.
The regular or organization Repub-
lican leaders comprise pretty much
all the office holders-Governor
Stokes and other state house officials,
United States Senators Kean and
Dryden, and all the representatives in
congress from this state. II is sus-
tanned by every member of the state
committee and by efficient organiza-
tons in every county. In short, it is
a powerful and well constructed ma
chine. in good working order.
The reformers, as the other faction
are pleased to call themselves, are
led by three men who nave for the
past two or three years been con-
spicuous figures in New Jersey poll
tics. They are Everett Colby, senator
from Essex county; Mayor Pagan of
Jersey City, and George l.. Record,
corporation counsel of Jersey City.
There are two principal planks in the
reform platform. These are equal tax
alton and limited franchises. The re
formers claim that the railroads are
paying a ridiculously unequal share of
the taxes. The reformers declare that
the Republican organization has for
so many years been the close politi-
cal ally of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company that it does not dare COM
pei the big corporation to come for
ward and assume its just share of
the tax burden.
The two factions fight it out at the
