votes for surrogate last year, is the
organization candidate, while Owen F.
Conlon has the Endorsement of the Har-
rigan Association n Joseph McDon-
ough is running on his own account
just as Hull did last year.
Harrigan Expects Delegates.
Apart from the surrogate. the Demo-
cratic Regulars made a clean sweep,
carrying all but thirty-three districts
for county committeeman. This year.
while Sheriff Harrigan says he expects
10 elect more than half the delegates
TO the State convention, the Harrigan
Association has named tickets in less
than eighty of the 229 districts In the
county.
Chairman James r. Nugent. of the
State committee, and pretty nearly
every other Democrat encountered to-
day is delighted with the result in
Maine. ut is only another straw"
said Mr.. Nugent, land a very decided
f~orerunner of what will happen in
every section of the country next
November"
Here in New Jersey the Democrats
viii elect Woodrow Wilson governor
by the largest majority eve given a
Democratic candidate in the State. The
party was never in better condition
and the ranks are being augmented
daily by independent and dissatisfied
Republican voters.
Cost of Living an Issue.
Residents of New Jersey have suf-
fered more from the high cost Of living
and discriminatory railroad rates than
the residents of most other States.
They have no reason to expect relief
from Republican sources, and can only
hope for relief through a complete
Democratic sweep"
Chairman Tyler Parmly. of the
county committee, is even more SAN
guine as to the outcome than Mr..
Nugent.
1T is only that feature of the pri-
mary law" he said today, which pro-
hibits a citizen who voted at the Re-
publican primary last year from voting
at the Democratic party primary this
year that win keep us from carrying
the county almost unanimously today.
I'VE will do 1t in November, how
ever, as sure as fate. With Secretary
Washington Cross, l have within a
few days visited every section Of the
county and / am amazed at the num-
Der OF lifelong Republicans who as
sure me they are with the Democratic
party this zee and will stay with US
as long as we give them candidates like
\ Woodrow Wilson to vote for
Sheriff William Harrigan and his as
sociates are equally as sanguine as the
organization leaders over Democratic
success this year. He believes, how
ever, hat the Harrigan Association
candidates, including delegates who
favor his nomination for governor,
rather than the organization candidate,
will carry this county today.
sheriff Harrigan's statement.
This was the view of the association.
as expressed by the sheriff about noon
today, when he swore In about eighty
deputies for service at the primary to-
day. Among other things. the sheriff
said:
81 have supreme confidence that the
people win assert themselves at this
rimary and am, therefore. confident
that the Harrigan ticket will prevail
over the machine ticket. The assem-
bly, nominees whom the people In their
different localities have selected will be

Legislature from this county; owen f
Conlon, YOU can write down as the next
register of Essex county, and John A
Mofit, l confidently expect. will be
your county supervisor. The reason Is
this: Both arc high-class, clean gen.
tlemen. Mr.. Conlon for twenty-five
years, has been an active, hard worker
in the Democratic ranks, and the
Democratic rank and file know that he
was entitled to the nomination.
"Jim Nugent alone was opposed tC
his receiving the nomination, and thai
means the gaining of d big majority o.
votes for him. Every n knows the
excellent record made by Mr.. Moffit a.
foreman of the grand jury which in

and impartiality in the treatment o.
this troublesome subject were com

press.
