FINAL ESTIMATES
SWEEP ESSEX FOR
BOTH BIG PARTIES
Colby's Elected, Say Republic
cans-Osb0rne, Sure, In
sist Democrats.

Both Republicans and Democrats
claimed today that their candidates
would win.
Chairman Alfred N. Dalrymple, of the
Republican County Committee, and
Chairman Tyler Parmly, of the Demo-
cratic County Committee, both made
statements today on the outcome in
county and city.
Mr.. Dalrymple claims for Senator
Everett Colby 0plurallty of 10000; Mr..
Parmly claims for Osborne a plurality
of 1900. p
Mr.. Dalrymplc said:
Il cannot see by any process of flgur-
ing how Senator Colby can be beaten.
He will get 10000. w. Fellowes Nor
gan, for sheriff, will have at least $500.
Frank J. Book. for Mayor. will run as
least 1000 ahead of Mayor Haussling.
He has developed great strength during
the campaign against unusual odds,
Both Republican candidates for Board
of Works will go in with Book. They
will have larger pluralities Than he.
The Assembly ticket will win u by
about IL. 1000"
Judge Charles F. Herr, speaking for
the Democratic campaign committee,
said:
There has peer a great revulsion of
public feeling against the Republican
party on local matters. Our candidate
for senator. Harry ". Osborne, appears
to have won the confidence of the indie
pendent voters, and from the reports
we have received he will win out by
about 5000 In the county.
"One reason for this is the fact that
he Is a poor man who has made n
great fight against a wealthy opponent,
but what Colby has financially is over
come by the inconsistency of his record,
both in the Assembly and the Senate.
He made promises three years g that
he has not kept, and his associates of
the New Idea party last year made
other promises they made no effort to
keep. One noticeable thing about this
feature is the comparative silence of
Assemblyman Martin during h cam
paign. Was he suppressed because he
especially broke his promises?
Say City VIII Elect H%arrigan.
"On the sheriff fight there is no doubt
about the selection of COMMISSIONS
William Harrigan. He has made a
manly fight, and during the campaign
rot an accusation of n kind was
made against his character. Here, too,
Is an instance of a poor man opposing
a wealthy ~oppononent. who, in addi-
ton, is a very light taxpayer. Harri-
gan will have 5000 or 10000 plurality
in the city that will overcome the vote
against him in the places outside OF
Newark. He will run ahead of Hauss-
ling In the city.
THE mayor will get fully as big a
vote as he did two years g and
against him are not believed by the
majority of the people and many Re-
publicans have taken the views ex-
pressed several months ago by Richard
G. J~enkinson, who was a candidate for
mayor and president of the Board of
Trade. that the mayor a been n OF
the best executives the city ever had.
THE people realize also that the
Mayor, to properly conduct the affairs
of the city. must have the Board OF
Works with him, and both Democrats
will win. thus making the board of a
composition that will aid the Mayor
instead of hindering him by passing
resolutions for wood block pavements
with the election of the senator
there will be chosen a Democratic dele
cation in the Assembly"
rs Mr.. Osborne said:
II think the people will be with me
Since my nomination / have worked as
hard as / know how to win. l have
told the people what l stood, for. Ever
the Republicans cannot criticise me
l have published my election expenses
and my opponent didn't dare to. He Is
wealthy; l have to try to make some
money. I hope to be consistent as a
senator, and because of their belief ir
me I have received assurances of hun
dreds of independent and Republican
votes"
