ELECTION LESSONS
FREIE ZEITUNG BLAMES
COUNTRY PUMPKINS.
Result of Assembly Vote, 1t Says, Shows
Liberal idea Has Taken
Deep Root.

From today's New Jersey Freie Zeitung.I
decided, there is no reasonable doubt that
Mr.. Fort has been elected Governor. The
vote of the people in the country districts
has secured victory for Fort. The big
cities, and in the first place. Newark,
were unable to overcome the fanatical
farmer vote. and, unjust as this may be,
1t is nevertheless true that the good
natured country pumpkins will now legis-
late to the detriment of the cities. That
such possibilities are In striking contra
diction TO the principle of home rule needs
no proof Although Mr.. Fort has
been elected. this newspaper and the liberal
element are satisfied with the result of the
election, as far as our city and county are
concerned. The Sabbatarians received a
sharp lesson. The liberal citizens did their
duty. What was accomplished was a
swinging of votes from q usual Republican
majority of 1000 to a Democratic ma
jority of only 800. This speaks volumes,
and 1t must also convince the Governor
elect as to how great is the demand for
u change In conditions unbearable to the
liberal elment.
Another noteworthy result Is the small
vote cast for the four 'reformers' on the
Assembly ticket, and this shows not only
that the citizens understand the situation,
that the principle of home rule has
taken deep root. They must understand
also that the adoption of the Bishops
law was a bad mistake, which simply
in the way of real reforms. q
There must be changes In that law. . > .

TREACHERY IN HUDSON.
Old Story Of Old Gang That Puts Per-
sonal Profit Above Political Honesty.
(From the Paterson Guardian.)

(From the Paterson Guardian.)
Democracy was defeated in New Jersey
through the political treachery of the same
old gang that puts personal profit above
party success. 1t is the old, old story,
told so many times In this State during the
past dozen years.
Katzenbach was betrayed in Hudson
County because Bob Davis cares more for
the spoils of office than he does for the
triumph of Democracy. Davis and Dick
inson Joined In conspiracy to defeat Pagan,
and Katzenbach was sacrificed to make
certain the success of the ~grafters and
corrupt politicians who have now regained
control of Jersey City.
The betrayal of Katzenbach by Bob
Davis in Hudson County will elect Gov
ernor Fort by 5000 plurality, just the
amount Of the Democratic detection In
that county. Pagan is defeated by about
the same figures; Davis will get his share
of the spoils and Sam Dickinson Is re-
venged upon the honest man who made
the name Of the Republican boss of Hud-
son a stencil In the nostrils Of decent peo-
pie In New. Jersey.
Fort will not be able to find much COM
fort in his election after analysis of the
returns. The awful shrlnkage in the Re-
majority is proof Of the desire
of the people to rebuke the Republican
party for maladministration Of State af-
fairs, but this desire was rendered futile
because Democracy was betrayed by the
same old gang.

PAYS
HIS FINE IN
CHANGE
Doctors Speeding Defense
Is That Wife Had
Called Him.

Because Clerk Oehring, in the Sec
ond Precinct Police Court. refused to
accept a check today from DR.. Max
Danzis, of 46 Mercer street, in pay
ment for a fine for. violating the auto
sreed limit law, the latter sent his
wife, Mrs. Danzis, to the bank to have
the check cashed.
Some time after she returned, and in
paying his fine the doctor handed the
clerk SIS in small silver. Thoughts rolled
up just as it was received from the
bank and the amount printed on each
roll, Clerk oehring made DIR. Danzis
wait until he counted over the entire
amount, the task being lone much to
the amusement of the large number Of
people present in court.
DIR. Danzis vas arrested last Mon
day afternoon in Central avenue by
Policeman Joseph Frank, of the motor
cycle squad, of the Fifth Precinct Po-
lice Station.
The doctor Acknowledged that he did
not know how fast he was going, and
said a telephone message from his wife
to hurry to her side, as her auto had
broken down, was the cause of his rid
ing faster han usual-a privilege, he
Thought, doctors ought to enjoy in
Newark when answering hurry calls,
and that of his wife vas a hurry call,
in his estimation.
Archer II. Brown, of Sc Mum ave-
nue., East Orange, was arrested last
Sunday afternoon by Motor Cycle Po-
liceman Joseph Frank, of the Fifth
Precinct, for violating the auto speed
law in Central e Mr.. Brown
declared he was in a hurry to catch a
train for Philadelphia. Today, when
the case was called, the defendant vas
not in court, but when Judge Herr
heard the policeman's story he imposed
a fine of SIS on Brown.
Robert Dunton, of $50 North Ninth
street, was found not guilty in the
Second Precinct Police Court today
He was arrested last Monday night by
Policeman Emil Heubner, of the Fifth
Precinct, in Orange street, for speeding
faster than the law allows. In court
the. policeman said his attention was
called to the alleged violation by a
citizen who told him, "Those automo-
bile fellows are no better than any
one else. That fellow is going too fasf
now and he ought to be arrested
There was no evidence that Duntor
had violated the law. except the police,
mans testimony that he thought, from
what the citizen told him, the law wal
being violated. Dunton was discharged

INTO
CANAL IN HIS
FLIGHT
Had Stolen Ash Cans to
Replace Others Somebody
Else Took From Him.

Frank Labruto. of 10 jefferson
street, an Italian. made a desperate at
tempt to escape arrest last night when
he was stopped by Policeman Kellogg,
of the Third Precinct, and asked where
he got the three ash cans he was car
rying. When he saw that his answer
did not convince the officer of his hon.
esty. he threw the cans aside, dashed
down McWhorter street, through
Ferry to Union and from there to
Market street. From thence he went
on further until he Came to the canal.
He didn't stop. For him there was
no time for elaboration. He left Italy,
he said this morning. because he
wanted a larger measure of freedom,
and he did not propose to let a com
mon, ordinary American policeman de-
prive him of that inalienable right. So
this was an emergency that demanded
quick action.
Throwing hesitation, cogitation and
elaboration to the winds, and pausing
| for lust the fraction of a second before
leaping, he summoned up his latent
courage and jumped-into the canal.
He had not calculated correctly. He
imagined he could lane on the other
side. Nc sooner had he become inn
mersed than he experienced a change
of mind. Prison bars were preferable
to a watery grave, he thought. He
yelled for assistance at the top of his
lungs.
The policeman who chased hin and
a large crowd of ordinary people soon
arrived and he was dragged out. In
court this morning he said that some-
body had stolen his ash cans, and he
considered it no more than using him
self right when he stole somebody
else's. He furnished bail of $50 and
promised to be on hand tomorrow for
4rial

VOTING

ILLEGAL
Paterson Recorder Refuses
to Punish Man Accused Of
False Representation.

PATERSON. Nov. I'm dismissing
a complaint yesterday of Illegal voting
against Edward Shaunessey, made by
Isaac Reigotti, 81 Butler street, Re
corder Carroll said that Shaunessey
could not be held, as he had voted on
a machine.
Reigotti was asked how he knew that
Shaunessey had voted. He said that he
had seen him in the booth, and that
Shaunessey admitted that he had voted
from a house where he did not live.
You cannot hold a man for illegal
voting where there Is a machine said
the recorder. I'll have to dismiss the
complaint. The statutes give a man
the right to vote by ballot. Machine
voting is unconstitutional, therefore l
cannot hold a man who voted on a
machine
