Democratic politics in New Jersey have been unobtrusive ths tar in the
preliminary campaign. Republican politics have occupied the nmenght. Re-
publican party issues and controversies and candidates. have monoponzed
political interest. The reason is apparent The Republican party is full of
friction. The sparks that fly are produced by internal collisions. The party
elements are stirred III by discord. Therea ire questions on which it Isl impossible
to unity the party. In Essex there are the Regular organization an h New Idea
faction. with differences that MAJ or may 10 be reconcred by the results of
the primaries On III other hand, the Democratic party while fractional as of
yore,i is nt disrupted, I'M the evidences are hat. it will work as a unit. It's
cainness al the present time presages party unity. Republican leaders should
not be deceived by this calm, which does not mean apathy or Indifference. But
the time has arrived for the Democratic managers to set things going. The
September primaries are approaching.

GUS DE FORD CAPTURED. ID
Escaped officers at Cades In 1908.
Captured in London.

Gus De Ford, with several aliases,
thief, burglar and safe cracker, who
on February 10, 1905, made his SEN
sational escape from a moving train.
at Cades, s. c., while being taken
from New York to Charleston in
charge of a United States marshal
and his deputy, has at last been run
to earth and Is again prisoner.
The daring desperate was captured
In London, England, after a three
years chase by secret service men,
who have been on his trail ever since
he escaped.
DeFord was one Of the most reck-
less and desperate members of the
gang Of "yeggmen" that operated in
this State with headquarters in Co.
lumbfa for over a year. nine Of whom
have already been convicted and SEN
fenced to terms Of varying lengths.
There are several postoffice robberies
In this State with which DeFord Is
supposed to be connected, and be-
sides there are State Indictments
against him both in south Carolina
and in Massachusetts. 1t is esti-
mated that If CO., victed Of the various
charges against him the cumulative
terms Of Imprisonment would be be-
lyond an ordinary lifetime. In one
|robbery-that of the Enoree Manu-
featuring Co., in Spartanburg-De
Ford's gang Is said to have gotten
about $4,000.
The other burglaries committed
by De Ford and his pals would make
a long chapter in the annals Of crime.
