BRISTOL FOR MAYOR.
Citizens Ticket in Glen Ridge Will Not
Likely Be Opposed.

The Citizens party of Glen Ridge, on
Saturday night, filed the following nomi-
nations in the Office of Borough Clerk
Clarence Place, as required by law:
For Mayor. Edward N. Bristol; Assessor,
William E. =. Mayer; Councilmen, Alfred
E. Hinrichs, Robert E. Moss; delegate to
State convention. James p. Mylod; dele
gate to county convention. John DrVcy;
member of county committee, A. H. Tyson.
The last three named represent the DEM
ocrats and will attend the conventions Of
their party.
The rest of the ticket will no doubt be
indorsed by the Republicans, as politics
are laid aside in borough affairs.
The Regulars and the Colbyites failed to
file their petitions.
The absence of Borough Clerk Place,
who had not returned from his vacation,
was commented upon, as he should have
been In his Office to receive all petitions.
In the First Ward of Bloomfield the Reg
ular Republicans nominated Herbert e.
Farrand for Councilman, while the Colby
ties put forward Lester o. Vreeland as
their candidate. A bitter fight is expected
between the two factions at the primaries
on Tuesday, September 10.
In the Secon Ward the petitions of
three candidates for Councilman were pre-
sented to Town Clerk johnson. They are:
George Hummel, Regular Republican;
Frank M. Hinkle, Colbyite. and Richard
K. Schuyler. Democrat. In this ward the
fight at the primaries will also be bitter
between the Republican factions, and it
will undoubtedly be carried to the polls in
November. If so. the ward Is likely to
elect a Democrat.
In the Third Ward Councilman Charles
w. Chobot has been renominated by both
factions of the Republican party. His OPP
ponent on the Democratic ticket will be
John Ferguson, a popular young foundry
man. 1t will undoubtedly be a warm bat
tie, as the Prohibitionists have nominated
George B. Mllliken for Councilman, and 1t
is said he will receive the votes of many
Republicans.
For members of the Board of Education
the only candidates are DR.. William r.
Broughton, Joseph F. Vogelius and Samuel
Ellor, all of whom will be on the Repub-
iean ticket. and George Rissler. who has
been nominated by the Prohibitionists in
The Watsessing end of the Gown.

ON, MACDUFF'
FIGHTING BLACKSMITH DE-
FENDS HIS RECORD.
Albert E. wheatcroft, of East Orange,
Has Stirred Up a Commotion in the
Political Pot There.

Some interest is being manifested
among politicians in East Orange re-
garding the attempt of Albert r.
Wheateroft. the lighting blacksmith of
prospect place." to become a member
of the East Orange City Council.
He has made several attacks against
the city government and has claimed
that the present members would rather
see the devil himself hold a seat there
than he" He made also several per-
sonal attacks against the officials. and
then the leaders began to sit up and
stories were circulated to the effect
that Wheatcroft, who is a resident of
the Third ward, was not even a citizen,
and that he had a police record. Not
only the Regulars, but the New Idea
men, got after the blacksmith and have
made 1t rather unpleasant for him
An effort was to have been made to
stampede a meeting in the Third for
Wheatcroft recently, 1t is said, but the
affair did not come to an issue and he
mas yet to receive an Endorsement from
any political club. He has not, it is
understood, fled a petition for the
primaries but he has stated that he
citizen rumors Wheatcroft made a
statement as follows:
"l am really a citizen of the United
STATES and can make al affidavit to ina
erect, although | will admit that / made
application for citizenship papers to the
county Clerk on January IA.
IF my opponents enforce the law too
strictly | will not be eligible as a candi-
date at the primaries. / also admit that 1

last year. just as | have voted in practically
an the large cities in the United States.
Ny right to citizenship was never ehal-
lenged until the outbreak of the Spanish
American War, when l went to enlist with
the Twenty-second Regiment Volunteers
OF New York: obtained my citizenship
papers in Chicago in 1892, but / did not
discover that I had lost them until / went
10 enlist. AS the most expedient way out

intention to become n citizen nine months
later. l was honorably discharged, and
since then | have always believed that my
discharge papers from the army were
equivalent to citizens papers.
This Is the first time that my vote has
ever been questioned. Should the techni-
calities of the law prevent my entering
the race for the nomination at the prima-
ries. l Will have my papers in time to
make me eligible to run on an Independent
ticket at election

OUT OF THE SKY.
Dummy Of A~eronaut Drops from Kite
and Startles West Orange.

The form of a man shooting through
the air, apparently having fallen from what
was supposed to be a balloon or flying
machine, which could be family seen in
the distance. aroused citizens of West
Orange and the southern section of Mont
clair to great excitement yesterday after
noon. Turning and twisting, the form
shot rapidly to the earth, sometimes head
foremost and again feet foremost, while
at times it seemed to swim through the
air.
Judging about the spot where the form
would strike terra frma, the crowds
started for 1t. Some were In automobiles,
some on bicycles and Others on foot. Ex-
citement ran hig! among the several hun
dred people as they hurried along, crying
out to the inquiry Of neighbors That a mar
had fallen out of a balloon. This helped
to increase the crowd.
The form, which had descended quite
leisurely, at last struck the ground in an
open field 10 Montclair, near Mountain
avenue. Those who ran to reach the spot
first stopped suddenly as they saw the
PROSTATE form lie motionless' on the
ground. 1t was some time before any
one made bold enough to pick up the mani
mate form. Many suggestions were made,
such as. send for the police; call an am
bulance. etc. AT last John Edwards pushed
through the crowd. saying 'let US see

up the PROSTATE body, he found that 1t was
very light in weight and he turned around
toward the assembled crowd to see If they
had noticed that fact. Placing the form
again on the ground, edwards walked
away. saying as he did 30, There is no
life there"
Others finally mustered up sufficient
courage to make an examination, and to
their great surprise it was found that
what had been supposed 10 be a man was
an ingeniously made dummy. 1t was con-
strueted of thin wire and shaped perfectly

material, with a pair of socks. completed
the form.
"Stung. Lemon. Solo, cried out the
Younger folks, but no one seemed anxious
to leave the place without first seeing for
themselves that 1t was really a made up
man.
The Derpetrator of the trick was Fred
Hickson, of Verona. a I~4-year-old boy. He
took his large box-shaped kite will wings,
to Eagle Rock, attached the dummy to
1t and started IT up to a great height. The
latter was fastened t the kite by a cord
which was so arranged hat a strong pull
on the cord released 1t from the kite, and
being light in weight the supposed aero
naut did al manner of stunts before
reaching the ground. The report that a
man had fallen out of n balloon spread so
rapidly. that for hours afterward people
