Urged by the Commission.

The commission also recommends that
the business of the department be decen-
tralized so to avoid the congestion at
the National capital which impairs the
efficiency and increases the cost of the
service: that the bookkeeping, auditing
and accounting be simplified. unified and
centralized to secure greater accuracy,
more prompt methods and elimination
of. duplication of work. and that the
practice of requiring needless detailed re-
ports from small post offices be discon-
tinued. The moderate application Of the
homecoming system TO small offices
will eliminate about 10000. or mainly one
half. of all the post office accounts from
tine present complex report and book
keeping system. or would at least greatly
simplify the same. The commission says:
1T appears too obvious to require argu-
ment that the most efficient service can
never be expected as long as the direction
OF the business is. as at present lntrust-
ed to q Postmaster General and certain
assistants selected without special refer
.ence to experience and qualifications and
subject to frequent change. Under such
system a large railroad. commercial or In
dustrial business would inevitably go into
bankruptcy. and the Post Office Depart
ment has averted that fate only because
the United States Treasury has been avail
able to meet deficiencies

HARR|GAN VOTE
SURPRISE EVEN
IN EAST ORANGE
Gains We're Small in That City,
but They Were Very
Unexpected.
CONGRESSMAN PRATT
MADE FINE SHOWING
Voters in Most of the Wards
Find Much Fault with the
Machines.

Taft carried East Orange with a ma
jority of 1872. 1t was the largest vote
ever polled in. the city. As a result of
the vote in the first and third districts
of the Fifth ward and third district of
the Third ward, three new districts will
have to be created by the City Council.
Mayor William II. Cardwell won with
a majority of 3,722, while William Eel
loves Morgan had a majority of 1858.
Senator Colby's majority was s3,675.
The run of William Harrigan was a
surprise to everybody, as it was
thought Morgan would sweep every
thing before him. When the returns
started to come in, showing ever the
slight gains Harrigap was making
the old line politicians started to won
der. They insisted the good people Of
East Orange were not voting against
a continuance of the Sommer policies,
but that they desired to express their
disspleasure over the recent actions of
Mason.
Congressman Pratt also made a fine
showing, and the statement was given
by the Republicans hat Cannonism
was hurting Wiley. There was no
trouble with the Assembly nominees,
the Democrats failing to make a good
showing.
In most of the wards the majority of
h voters expressed their displeasure
with the voting machines, while some
seemed to favor them for straight par
ty voting. Several prominent men
thought the machines had been voted
out of the city, whereas 1t was only
in the First ward that they were not
in use. The clerks in the two districts
of the First were not SO long counting
the ballots and both had finished their
tallies before midnight.

RUN
WAS FEATURE
IN |RV|NGTON
He and Osborne Successful,
Though Republicans Elected
All Other Officers.

The election in ~Irvington was a sur
prise to the citizens In o ways thar
one. While 1t was believed that Os-
Dor and Harrigan would receive the
3 It of many Republicans, 1t was
not thought that they would carry that
Republican town. In the First and
Third wards they received a substantial
majority, losing the Second by only 46
votes.
In local affairs the Republicans were
successful in every instance, eve to
the election of George Wills as council
mar in the Third ward, where 1T was
believed that Fred Dehnert, the lone
Democrat of the Council. would be re-
elected. Dehnert was beaten by the
small margin of seven votes, due, 1t is
thought, to the heavy vote polled.
There was not a Democrat elected In
the town.
The effort to defeat Mayor Glorieux
proved q failure. and Lloyd H. Mckee
and Amos A. Decker. the two Demo-
Gratis in the Second ward who expected
to win with Republican support. were
defeated by a small majority.
The vote was decidedly against an
nexation. The returns were not COM
plete until s o'clock this morning ow-
ing to the heavy vote in the Third
ward, where there was considerable
scratching. The election board in that
ward had a Neutrality-suspicious. session,
one hour longer than at the recent pri-
msries.

also said that Police Chief James Bell

Candidates Who Were
Sighted.

The Republicans claimed Belleville
for their own yesterday, every candi-
date on their ticket receiving a sub
stantial majority, with the exception
of Colby and Morgan, who went down
to defeat. The Republicans took every
township Office, even displacing Town
ship Clerk John J. Hannah, who has
years. Humans defeat was the big
gest surprise of the day. Pierre Black
was reelected Freebooter over Frank J..
Carragher by a majority of 240. George

son. the Republican candidates for

The Republican candidates for sur
veyors of highway and poundmasters

THREE TO ONE
G. 0. P VICTORY
IN M0NTCLA|R

The Republican party in Montclair
elected the head of the ticket by nearly
three to ont. The greatest surprise
was the good showing made in town by
r. Wayne Parker. Edward w. Town
send, his Democratic opponent. did not
show as wen ss was expected, which
is attributed to the fact that it was a
presidential year and that Taft carried
the balance of the ticket through.
While Mayor Henry ". Crawford was
cut considerably he won out by the
handsome majority of s22-
Councilman Walter MacNaughten, of
the Second ward, beat his Democratic
opponent, william J. Carr. by IS votes.
This is considered significant as
ly 1.100 votes were polled in the ward,
and there arc supposed to be only about
IS Democrats living in the ward.

was: Knox, 296; Eslin, 1884; Arcularius,
POI, and Boyle, 2s3. The Republican
ticket won out by AIT to 159 for the

That Eslin and Boyle are popu-
lar among their Republican friends is
shown by the fact that Eslin received
1875 credits while Boyle got but one less.
At n time in the count the two
Democrats led by so majority. but this
was overcome by the votes at the bot
tom of the ballot box.

Clean Sweep for Republicans
Throughout City Achieved
as Expected.

Mayor William Cardwell was voted
a third term In East Orange yester6as,
defeating School Commissioner George
s. Hubert, who ran on both the Demo-
cratic and Independent tickets. A Pc
culiar situation developed in the con-
test, Mayor Cardwell receiving a largo
number of Democratic credits, while
Mr.. Hubert was supported by many
Republicans who were opposed to the
third term idea.
- large number of the voters made
an effort to learn how to scratch their
tickets on the voting machines and
this was taken as an indication that
Mayor Cardwell would be badly cut.
The Mayor had conducted a quiet cam
paign and Mr.. Hubert did o show
much activity. Both seemed we'll
pleased with the result. Alden Free
man ran better against Mayor Card
we'll than did Mr.. Hubert, but the fact
that this was a presidential year prob
ably made a difference. Cardwell ran
behind his ticket. He had a majority
of 3,315.

SEYMOUR WINS

MARGIN OF 27
Result of Mayoralty in Orange
Had Been Long in
Doubt.
DEFEATED REPUBLICAN
WON'T ASK RECOUNT
Fight Was the Hottest in the
History of the City in
All Wards.

By a margin SO close that not until
the last ballots were counted early
today was there certainty of the re-
suits, Councilman Arthur B. Seymour,
Democrat, defeated County Register
Edward 8. Perry, Republican, for
mayor Of Orange yesterday. The fig
ures turned In to the city clerks Office

the city OF 2,7S5 for Seymour and 2,75S
for Perry. This leaves q plurality of
27 for Mr.. Seymour. as w. B. Killing
beck. Socialist nominee. got q few
votes, too.
The fight for the mayoralty was the
hottest In the history of the city.
There was some doubt expressed by
the Democrats as to the possibility of
their success in the city, but when the
First, Second, Fourth and Fifth wards
came along and complete returns
showed a majority for Seymour they
took courage and sat up to watch the
finish. First Perry got a district in the
Third ward, then Seymour got another,
and on Nhe last district to be heard
from, the Cone street district, hinged
the result of the election. Perry was
known to be ahead. and at the close of
the count word was brought to Mr..
Seymour that there appeared to be a
doubt of his getting a correct count,
and he hurried oyer to watch the
progress of affairs. There had appeared
ballots with the word For" left from
the line, announcing the Republican
presidential nominees name and. these
had been. held In allegiance. but finally
voted.
Republicans We're urging Mr.. Perry to
have n recount in view of the close
vote, but he was not particularly inter-
ested in %recounts. He said he would
carefully look up the figures. He ex-
pressed himself as a fellow victim of
the reformers on the Republican ticket
and was not at all downcast over his
defeat.

LARGE VOTE IN IRVINGTON
MAY MEAN NEW WARDS.
Annexation Defeated, Local
Council Must Act.

At the election in %Irvington every
ward in the town polled more than six
hundred votes, which makes it neces-
sary for the Town Council to redistrict
the town. At present there are three
wards. each being entitled to repre-
sentation in the Council, and if a new
ward is created 1t would near addi-
tional representation in that body.
1t is o optional with the Council
whether n or more wards will be
created, Or the present wards divided
into districts.
AS the question OF annexation with
Newark was defeated it will be neces-
sary for the Council TO take action on
the matter.
