tanned a plurality of 1885. He secured
in the suburbs 1925 votes to Harri-
gan's II, f09.
And so you have the story of what
happened in this part of the State yes
terday. What the Newarker doesn't
know about cutting his ticket isn't
worth knowing. All traditions went to
! smash. Essex gave Taft a plurality of
more than 10000 and Elected Harrigan
by about 5000. Osborne won out by
hundreds over Colby.
Under. thealaw, the time set for the
! successful candidates to take office are
as follows:
The sheriff. one week after election;
) senator, January 1; county supervisor.
January l, and mayo January /.
The sheriff is required to give bonds
for the faithful performance of his
duties. Mr.. Harrigan is the first New
arker elected to the office who was a
T resident of the Ironbounds district.
Newark gave Taft a plurality, but
H%arrigan and Osborne swept every
thing before them In the city. To the
surprise of even Mr.. Osborne him
self, he secured a lead in the city OF
more thar 5000 to offset the Colby vot.
II the Suburbs. q
The Republican Assembly ticket ran
far behind Taft, but, even so, was
elected by more than twice the plurality
given a year ago. William P. Martin,
who was majority leader In this years
House., received a plurality of 1851
over George Hermann. Democrat,
whom Major Carl Lentz and other Reg
ular Republicans with the Liberal
League backed to beat him..
The total vote cast In Essex exceeded
$4,000, The greatest vote on record
prior to this year was thousands behind
that. It's a high-water mark that will
probably long remain.
Mayor Haussling swept the city, re-
ceiving a plurality of 7,705 in 139 of the
40 districts.
Harrigan and Osborne carried thir-
teen of the cfty's sixteen wards, only
the Eighth, Ninth and Eleventh going
to their opponents. Haussling carried
all but the Eighth. Ninth, Eleventh and
Fifteenth. Books plurality for mayor
in the Fifteenth was "a. The mayors
majority over Book and Henry was
1888, almost as great as that of two
years ago., when there was no outside
election like that of yesterday to dis
tract attention from local affairs.
The Republicans carried a majority
.of the city's wards for aldermanic, and
freebooter candidates., as we'll as for
Board of Works. The Democratic can
didates for Board of Works won out in
only.th Third, Fifth, Seventh, Twelfth
and Fourteenth. In the Thirteenth, DEF
enthaler, Dem, and Budd, Rep, re-
ceived pluralities. The other wards
were carried by the Republican fom-
inees. Theodore Fettinger ran more
! than 400 ahead of Edward H. Wright,
jr, his running mate on the Indepen-
dence party and Real Democracy"
tickets.
When the polls opened yesterday
morning, there were anxious voters
waiting to get their ballots in, and by
noon so per cent. of the total had been
cast. They came early and they put in
a vest pocket vote that was scratched
some. Pastors, millions of them, We're
printed, and there was-a constant de-
mand for them throughout the day. 1t
was a great election-the most re-
markable Newark and Essex have ever
known. One million blanket pastors
were printed for the Democratic Assem-
bly, candidates alone.
