leaders and workers of the county. and
they Wed with each other in demon
strating their ability to furnish amuse-
ment for themselves and friends with

incidentally in the State.
1t was the Intention Of County Chair
man Alfred N. Dalrymple and his little
army of coworkers to taboo politics as
far as possible, and make the outing q
strictly social event, and the effort was
successful, SO far as the elimination
of formal addresses or the visible
booming of cny particular candidate

and it could hardly be otherwise when
it is realized that every Republican

with personal friends receiving assur-

eMurphy on all sides, and II Eddie
Gnichtel, as his personal friends like to
call him, was impressed by all he heard
relative to his probable majority over
Mayor Haussling, the candidate of all
the Republican factions, might as well

Governor Lewis was assured an
old-time Essex plurality. and his ad-

the State convention ratifies what now
appears to be the unanimous choice for

support of his less successful rival.
Much Harmony Evident.
The same feeling seems to exist pe-
tween the rival Regular and Progress

of by the conservatives in both fac
