test fight is on. The Brown workers
are particularly active and the work
done at this point on the democratic
ticket is greater than anything except

fight on Dreger, republican candidate

activity as was expected. ;.
It is plain to see that the money in
the present campaign is being handled
almost entirely by democrats. There
are more democratic workers, and they
are everywhere. Democratic automo-
biles are flying about everywhere. Dem
ocratic bands are covering the town
and democratic literature is handed out

Of it materialized. In the first, second,
sixth and tenth precincts Of the first
ward rowdies tried to rush everything
in sight for Haynes and to intimidate
voters. Jones plaoards were torn down
and thrown into the streets. The
Haynes boosters even attempted to
take Jones tickets and Jones badges
found necessary to order police pro-

everywhere Is from democratic sources.
Furthermore, the democratic campaign
committee has laid itself open to trou-

circulars. The work started early in

Students Gall Bluff.
One circular was sprung in the fifth
precinct of the second ward, the pur-
pose Of which was to scare university
'"Notice to u. of NJ. Students: Ali
persons violating the election laws will
be severely dealt with by the authori-
ties. The attorney general, E. T.
Young, holds that university students
from outside the city have no right to
vote.''
The scare did not work. The man
who was distributing the stuff was held
up and made to explain. To make it
look like republican move, he was in
a carriage bearing a Cole sign. Stu
dents about the polling place stripped
the sign from the rig, took all the cir
culars, and compelled the distributor
to say that he was a fakir. He further
said that he was working for the demo-
cratic committee and had been en-
ployed to work for johnson.

: Hot in the Sixth.
Outside Of these incidents no open

gurred. AS far as observance Of the
saw with regard to the neutral zone
about polling places was concerned,
the sixth ward was a model. At every
precinct the workers maintained their
distance and voters were allowed to go
workers on either side. At other
places the workers took a stand closer
TO the polls than the law allows, and
in many instances crowded about the
door.
The voting machines are working
with fair degree Of success, tho in
!, one case it was slow. In the third pre-
: cinct Of the fifth ward, voting in the
model booth near the city hall, the
Judges complained that voters found it
difficult in using the machine and slow
time was made. In another precinct,
however, the seventh Of the seventh,
the average time for the machine voters
was less than thirty seconds, and one
man voted his ticket in five seconds. .
