districts, which will be held Thursday

Favor Franklin Murphy.
The one thing that pleases me as
much as the general victory itself Is
the fact that former Governor Franklin
Murphy received the largest popular
vote for United States senator. Every
where throughout the State Mr. MUIR
ply was favored, and in Essex he re-
cefved twice as many votes as Stokes
and Fowler combined.
My prediction is that Mr.. Murphy
will be the successor to John Kean in

Every district in Essex county went

Alderman Philip A. Mcclure, of the
Seventh ward, told Judge Herr In court
today that he had known McKenna to
be a lifelong resident of the Seventh

care of the alderman for examination

The Progressives' detectives, en-
ployed to detect fraud, had nothing to
do but look wise. They made no ar
rests and it is the popular opinion that
there was no occasion for their pres

The curious ones fingered all night.
At Democratic headquarters several
of the candidates dropped in during
the evening. Edward Schickhaus, can
didate for county supervisor, was one
of the first on hand and one of the
last to leave. J. Harry Hull, candi-
