IN RANKS
Of REPUBLICANS
IN MERCER COUNTY
HutchinsOns and Knlse Lead ia
Open War on Briggs and
Murray Machine.
PRIMARIES PROMISE
LIVELY SKIRMlSHlNG
Those in Power Accused Of
Keeping All Plums for Them
selves and Friends.

TRENTON, Aug. 10.-Mercer county
will have a hot Republican fight at
the coming primaries. Prominent Re-
pubfic9ns are openly against the ma
chine, headed by United States Senator
Frank o. Briggs and Quartermaster-
General c.. Edward Murray.
The anti-machine element is headed
by former Road Commissioner Elijah
c. Hutchinson, who's was a State Sem
ator several years ago; Barton B.
Hutchinson, who was turned down for
denomination as State Senator last fall.
and former Assemblyman Ralph B.
Hulse.
All three were machine men until
last fall, but having been crushed be-
meath it they have risen again to op-
pose it. and are making an active cam
paign throughout the county, with the
hope of beating the present leaders.
They have come with a state
ment in which they say that the Re-
publican party Is governed by a coterie
of politicians, who have held the
power for the advancement Of their
own personal ends and with the pur-
pose of getting all the good offices for
themselves and their friends.
The leaders say THAT the fight is
being made because their opponents are
disgruntled over the fact that they
could not hold offices that should be
distributed among the good party
workers.

same branch of the service for the
whole country.
The totals from which these percent
ages are compiled show that 1873 appli-
cants presented themselves at the local
office. eleven of them being accepted,
while 2,S06 men applied during the
same period of time at all the offices
in the United States. 357 of whom were
accepted.
Similar figures show that Newarkers
fall way behind in the physical exam
ination for the regular army. Only
fifteen out of every 100 men examined
for the army in Newark are accepted,
while the general average for the
United States shows about twenty-six
out of every 100 applicants are up to
army requirements. Local men are
more successful in trying to get into
the navy, from 25 to 35 per cent. of the
candidates passing the tests.
The general disability of New
arkers cannot be attributed, say
the recruiting officers. to any es-
pecial bodily weakness, unless It
be under-weight. Considerable leeway
Is given the examining physician on
this score, but factory life or lack of
exercise seems to take flesh from local
men and put them out of the running
for regular army or navy honors.

READ BEFORE YOU
PUT YOUR NAME ON
ANYONE'S PETITION
Voters May Sign the Petition of
but One Candidate for Each
Office.

Here's a tip for prospective candi-
dates at the coming primaries:
Under the provisions OF the new d.
rect primary law no person will be al
lowed to sign more than n petition
for any particular office. Thus. if a
man signs the petition of Bill Jones,
who is a candidate for sheriff, his sig
nature on a petition of Tom Brown,
another candidate for the same nomi-
nation, would not be valid. A voter
may sign but one petition for each
office.
If one man signs w or more petit
tions for the same office there is the
possibility Of a protest that may in
validate one of the petitions and thus
bar one of the candidates.
AS a precaution against mistakes
some of the prospective candidates will
get more than the legally required
number of signatures to petitions.
Where one mar has signed two or
more petitions the petition first filed
will be the only one recognized as legal.

Newark gained new laurels in the
dog show world when Slivers ii.
carried off four blue ribbons and then
finished out his winnings by taking
first in the winners class. Long
Branch has never been treated to a
better exhibition of full blooded CANNES
than was given at the show which
closed Saturday afternoon there.
Slivers is a 35-pound Boston terrier,
and is the property of George D. Smith,
son of former United States Senator
James Smith, jr.
Slivers is from Oakmount Punch, a
noted winner, and when 1t came to
picking the winner Saturday the
judges had little trouble In deciding on
the son of Oakmount Punch.
The first class selected by the Judges
was the Limit, and Slivers II. won
that. In the open event, in which no
dogs were barred, Young Mr.. Smiths
favorite again got selected.
In the local, to which all dogs owned
by Monmouth County residents were
permitted to enter, Slivers was de-
clared the daddy of them all, and when
it came for the winners event, Slivers
va the real hero, making four COM
plete events. This scores five points
towards the championship class.
Already the dog has won three cups
and two medals, and has won ribbons
and prizes at Madison Square, New
York, White Plains, Hackensack, Jer-
sey City and Long Branch.
Slivers II. was bred by F. D.
Stoutenburgh, the well-known Broad
street merchant, and is only 2 years
old.

against the Mayor and Common Coun-
ell, the Board of Street and Water
Commissioners, j. Henry Bachelor,

C~anvassers, reviewing their action in
connection with the issue of temporary
loan bonds to the amount of $4,000 for
dock purposes. Argument will be heard
before the Supreme Court in Trenton,
August 81
Mir. Nugent set forth in the papers
he presented that the board of can
vassers filed with. the city clerk a
statement showing that 1916 votes
were cast in favor of accepting the
provisions of the act, and II ,307 were
against it. He further cited the fact
that 47,362 ballots were actually cast,
and that the authorities named in
tended spending large sums of money
for the acquisition of the dock sites
His contention, in the papers pre-
scented, was that there should have
been a majority of the whole number
of votes cast. and not a majority of
those who voted on the particular
question.
"Deponcnt's, objections to the resolu-
ton authorizing the ISSUE" Mr.. Nu-
gent held, ARE that it is erroneous, i'm
proper and Illegal
He added that if the bonds were is
sued the burden of taxation on the
deponent's property would be greatly
increased"
Mayor Hausslingsapproved the action
June 6, last.
The suit is wholly a friendly one.
