the effect that his little son died in Wash

WALDRON WITHDRAWS.
Will Not Stand in Sixth Ward for Dele
gate to Democratic state Convention.

Edward M. Waldron today took oc-
casion to eliminate himself as a fac
tor in the local fight in the fifth dis
trict of the Sixth Ward, where some
friends put him on the Democratic
ticket as a candidate for delegate to the
State convention before there was
known to be a contest. Against him
for the place, there was nominated M.
Lawrence Green. Mr.. Waldron found
that his name was being used to re-
suscitate memories of the campaign
last year when he made a fight at the
primaries for the nomination for Mayor.
He says that when he found this out
he decided to end it, as he did not wish
to continue any factional contest. There
are contests for each place on the Dem
ocratic ticket in the district, the can
didates for county committee being
Matt B. Puder and Joseph J. Kroeger.
Mr.. Waldron said today:
II am not in the fight here for dele
gate to the State convention or in the
contest in this district for any other
body. I do not want to be the cause
of any fractional fight here. especially
as the interests of the party will be
we'll served by any of the men who
are nominated for the various places
I am satisfied where 1 stand in the
district and do not need to make any
contest nov to prove 1t, for I carried
the district last year in the proportion
of two to one. This year, therefore,
feel that I should withdraw in the in
terest of harmony, and I wish you
would let my friends who supported
me so ably last year know It."

CAMDEN REPUBLICANS
NOT INTERESTED MUCH.
Primaries Dull There Because There Is
Nothing to Do But to Vote
Leaders Ticket.

CAMDEN, Sept. 10.-About the --LATEST
primary election Camden has witnessed In
years is that of today. The voters merely
go to the polls and ratify the selections"
of the party leaders. No opposition has
appeared to the candidacy of Mayor
Charles H. Ellis for denomination on the
Republican ticket, but the Democrats and
Independent Republicans promise to make
things warm for him on election day with
Councilman Frederick Finkledey as their
candidate.
In Camden County there is practically no
interest whatever. Surrogate Harry
Reeves. of Gloucester City, is slated for
denomination, and no opponent has APP
peared against him. Assemblyman Theo-
dore B. Gibbs, the Father of the House."

GOSSIP HEARD AT
THE POLLING PLACES.

When the ballot boxes were opened at
ZIG Academy street, the polling place Tor
the eighth district of the Seventh Ward,
only the primary officers, district leaders,
a couple of watchers for candidates and an
EVENING STAR reporter were present.
Frank B. Knott, the Republican leader In
the district, was the first to register and
vote, and the second was the reporter,
who dropped a ballot in the Democratic
box.
Very young men were at the other pol
ing places in the Seventh Ward trying to
get votes for Fitzpatrick, who is opposing
the regular Democratic candidate for AL
derman. John F. Sinnott, president of Com
mon Council. who was being supported by
property owners and all who appreciate an
Alderman who has been an able represen-
tatlve of the ward.
Throughout the Seventh Ward, especially
between Bank street and South Orange
avenue Sheriff Sommer was blamed fol
the closing of all the beer saloons from
/ to 8 o'clock. and also for stationing depu-
ties at polling places in the city to please
''kickers.' In the Sixth and Thirteenth
wards the feeling against the sheriff Is
very bitted. judging by remarks made by
men near the polling places this afternoon
In the First and Fourth wards it was
intimated by Republican and Democrat,
regulars that Sheriff Sommer detailed
deputies to help the New Idea candidate;
and men who want to go to the Republi.
can State convention as delegates to vott
for him.
A reporter noticed that men who wan
all saloons closed during the voting hours
had to ask whether men on the officia
ballots were for the Regular or Reform o.
Celbyite Republican candidates. and tina
the men who asked for the Information
were men of intelligence and education. |
Is the same where there was an opposition
ticket in a ward against the Regular Dem
ocratic candidates. But none of the or

manded the closing of saloons on a pri
mary day asked how to mark a ballot

spectacular campaign with fireworks. drum
corps and stump speeches, and is expected

his money. He wound up his campaign to-
night with four speeches.

dependent Republicans have been put up
to oppose the regular candidates, and dele
gates have been named who are supposed
to go unpledged to the county convention,
but who are apparently opposed to Carl
ton B. Pierce. who is running for the

between the Colbyites and Regulars. every
possible nomination being involved. James
