SURE FOR
WILSON, MAJORITY
IS ONLY QUESTION
Democrats Believe Candidate
Will Break All Records and
Elect Whole Ticket.

JERSEY CITY, Oct. S1.-With har-
mony prevailing among the Democrats
of, Hudson county, Woodrow Wilson
will poll the full party vote. He will
also get the votes of the independents
and a large percentage of the Progress
sive Republicans.
That the vote to be cast tor the Demo-
cratic gu~bernatorial candidate will be
greater thar that given any previous
candidate is generally conceded. Hud-
sons normal Democratic majority is
about 5000. Three years ago there was
much disappointment when the majority
was nearly 1000 under these figures.
That was due to local conditions. the
Democratic vote falling off in Ho-
boken, where there was a split in the
party. there being two Democratic
mayorality candidates. This yea con-
ditions are different. No one believes
that the Democratic majority will be
less tha 10000 n many shrewd OBJ
servers of political events are figuring
| On a majority of 8 1000, II these figures
| are exceeded it would not occasion sur
| prise. Hudson Democrats agree that
Wilson is the most popular candidate
the party has named in years.
Not only will Wilson carry the county
by an unprecedented majority for a
| Gubernatorial candidate, but the entire
county ticket will be elected. Con-
gresham James A. Hamill has prac-
tically a walk-over in the Tenth Dis
trict. His Republican opponent. Henry
Seibe1, is practically unknown. His
home is in West New York, one of the
smallest townships in the county.
Although Congressman Eugene r.
Kinkead will more than likely be elect
ed in the Ninth District he will not
have a walk-over by n means.
George L. Record, Progressive leader,
who won out at the primaries over the
Regular Republicans. Is putting up a
strong fight. With party lines closely
| drawn the district has a Republican
majority of about 1000.
Congressman Kinkead Strong.
Kinkead, because Of his record in
| Washington, Is stronger tina he was
two years ago and many independents
will give him their support. He will
receive loyal Democratic support and,
with the dissatisfied Republican vote
that will go to him his election is
practically a certainty.
His majority may not be as large as
it was two years age, but 1t will be
great enough to satisfy the ambition of
any man. Congressman Kinkead was
one of the first men to realize the avail
ability OF Woodrow Wilson as a Guber-
Material candidate. He was a persist
ent advocate of Princeton's president
f., for the nomination and thereby antag-
onized some of the followers OF Mayor
Wittpenn, who also soughy the nomina-
tion. Fol a time it appeared that some
Of the Mayors friends would oppose
Kinkead for reelection. but 1t now
looks as If the differences had been
settled.
OF Senator James F. Fielder's cleo
tion there is not the slightest doubt.
1t is simply a case Of how great will
be his majority. Philip Greece, his
Republican opponent, is a Progressive.
From reports received at Democratic
headquarters. the legislative ticket will
run pretty close to the head of the
ticket. All Of the twelve Assembly
candidates will be elected, though 1t
is understood that three or four of
them will be cut On account of local
fractional troubles. It is not believed,
however, that the cutting will endan-
ger their election.
Remainder of the Tfcket
Indications are that Supervisor Luke
Clark will be reelected, though it is
conceded he will run behind the other
candidates. John o. German n John
Haas are he Democratic candidates
for boulevard commissioners. They are
certain of election. In this city the
only official to be elected besides alder
men and freeholders Is a street and
water commissioner. Thomas r.
Rooney, who has had two terms. is the
Democratic candidate. That he will
be reelected even Republicans con-
cede.
In Hoboken and Bayonne fractional
disputes have been settled n Demo-
cratic victories are assured.
