and Peoples parties in South Orange
for the control of the village govern

the warning factions are confident of
victory tomorrow, but neither will state
the majority expected. This would in
dicate that the annual battle of ballots
in the wealthy little village will be a
close one.
The Peoples ticket contains the
names Of Louis V. Blanchet, Tom Wat
kins and Russell Marston for village
trustees. while their antagonists on the
Citizens ticket are Walter l. Mccoy.
William Arthur Babson and Oscar
Schoenherr
No stone is being left unturned by the
leaders of both parties to bring ou;
every vote possible at the election to-
morrow. Automobiles will play prom
inent part in conveying voters to the
polls. many residents having already

independent, William H Twidden in
the board which gives the power to
the Peoples party adherents. The
terms Of Messrs Weeks, Blanchet and
Tweddell expire.
Therefore, should the "Cits" seat one
man it would give them an equal foot

three apiece, and President Kip, who
is a Citizen would switch the power
to the Citizens party. The terms of
Trustees Kip and Hill, of the Citizens
party, and John F. McDonough, OF the
Peoples faction, win not expire until
next spring.
OF the candidates two have already
sat as members of the Village Board
of Trustees. They are Walter l. Nc
Coy, of the Citizens, and Louis v
Blanchet, of the Peoples. The latter is
seeking reelection. Mr.. Mccoy served
three terms in the early nineties.
