SURPRISES IN NUTIEY, MAYBE.

/. 10 expected by many Nutleyites that
there will be a number of surprises when
the votes in that town are counted tomor-
row night. In the First Ward there is
practically no opposition to the Repub-
lean ticket. with the exception OF that
against Henry f. Banta for reelection for
member of the Town Council. His OPP
ponent is Charles w. Lichtenstern, who
was nominated by the No License League.
In the Second Ward. Arthur A. Carr, the
Republican candidate for member OF the
Town Council, will not have an easy
time of 1t, as his Democratic opponent,
Abiiah C. Fox, is popular in the ward,
and he is also Endorsed by the Nc License
League.
In the Third Ward the result. is prob
lematical. The ward is Republican,, but
on the Councilmanic vote there Is a very
small margin. and in the last four years
the Republican majority has been from
ten to seventeen. Frank P. Barr, the can
dldate for the two-year term in the Coun-
ell, is pirted against Frank X. McCabe, a
rising young Democrat, and to make mat
ters more uncertain the candidate of the
No License League n the Municipal
Reformers, Benjamin B. Wetherbee, will
receive Just enough votes to make things
interesting. There will be a warm con-
test in the fight for constable in the Third
Ward, where James Joiner the regular
Republican nominee. will have to try
conclusions with John Perkins. Indepen-
dent Republican, and james Mulcahy, the
Democratic candidate

PLEADS FOR
A CLOSED SUNDAY.
Rev. Uriah McClinchie, of Irvington,
Says Moral Issues Should Influence
the Voter Tomorrow.

Diseoursing on the present political sit
uation before a large congregation In the
First Reformed Church of Irvington last
the Rev. Uriah McClinchie, the pas
tor, said in brief:
THAT the present political situation in
%Irvington abounds in moral issues Is I'M
deniable, for the candidates elected on the
coming Tuesday in their administration
and legislation will affect the well-befng
of a host of men, women and children
and n multitude of homes. 1t is evident,
therefore, that what a man believes as
to the obligations existing between him
self and his neighbors will determine his
political creed. Political differences, when
analyzed, resolve themselves invariably
into moral differences.
TAX the question of the observance of
the Sabbath. professedly the paramount
issue in this campaign. Why do some men
advocate an open Sunday and others a
closed Sunday? One group OF men be-
lieVe that a man has q spiritual
nature and that this nature re
quires cultivation, and that one day OF
nutrlment and refreshment of the spirit.
Men with such convictions insist that the
Sabbath should be kept sacred unto their
end, whereas. those who are unconcerned
about the higher significance or this life.
those who doubt the existence or a soul,
would dedicate the day to revelry in the
back room of Il saloon. On this question
Of Sabbath keeping men are divided by the
convictions entertained as to the needs n
the value of their spiritual nature
The churches, he went ON TO say, should
face the issue with frankness. Virtually
the issue brought up Is n challenge TO the
reality and worth of spiritual life, he de-
clared, and the church shoul rally to its
standard In n united effort to overcome
those who would so challenge them.

SUBURBAN FIGHTS
LIVELY IN SOME PLACES,
DULL IN OTHERS.
Councilmanic Contests Are Taking Up
the Most Interest, Outside Of
Gubernatorial Battle.

The biggest fight in Orange Will be to
secure control of the Common Council.
This has been one of the hottest cam
paigns in years. and the result is in doubt.
The Democrats will have to elect four out
of FIVE Aldermen to regain control Of the
Council, while thu Republicans need only
elect two. The Democrats figure that they
will carry the First and Third Wards, ana
are practically certain of winning In the
fourth. The Republicans are not conced-
ing anything. but 1t is believed will put
M a strong fight to hold the Second ana
Fifth Wards. From an unprecedented, polnt
Of view 1t Is thought that Katzenbach Will
sweep the city.
The only thing to be considered in East
Orange is what majority Fort will have.
The Republicans say he will come to New
ark with at least $500 to spare, while the
Democrats claim that 1000 seem a high fg-
ure for him. In the local contest Alden
Freeman's candidacy for Councilman on
the Independent Citizens and Democratic
tickets in the Fourth Ward is of chief
Importance. His opponent is George "A.
Glover, a Regular Republican.
The Democrats expect to carry West Or
snge by a safe majority. The only fights
of Importance, 1t is believed, will be In the
Second and Fifth Wards. where the Re-
publicans are particularly active.

COUNCIL HINGES ON RESULT.

It is said in Belleville that this has been
it's duilest campaign in several years,
especialiy as regards its township officers.
Considering the fact that the control Of
the township committee hinges on the re-
suit tomorrow there is very little interest
in the outcome. The committee consists
now of three Democrats and two Republi-
cans. Only one man is to be elected to-
morrow. Chairman Thomas H. Breen de
clined denomination. and in his place r..
William Bechtold is making the fight on
The Democratic ticket. Opposed to him is
Milton ], Webster. 1t seems to be a toss
up between the two. and the result, ac-
cording to the workers in both parties. is
bound TO be close. This is the only impor-
tant contest. as the rest Of the officers to
be balloted for are of minor interest.
1t is believed that the Republicans are
combining their attention principally to the
Silver Lake section of the third district.
This is generally q pivot point in the out
come.
