contests for aldermen in the third

School Board Fight.
Should the vote tomorrow be any
way heavy 1t will be on account Of
the school board fght. The present
board consists of nine members,
FIVE democrats and four republicans,
and an effort is being made to re-
nominate the entire board. The
democrats are anxious to keep the
schools out of politics and will sup
port the old board for denomination,
40 vi Y,ry nj nf
members, including the four repub-
licans, on their primary ballots. On
the republican ballots are eighteen
names. The present boards names,
as result of petition filed by
prominent republicans, appear on
the ticket, five being democrats.
The other nine names are those en-
dorsed by the city republican COM
mittee. The democrats and many
prominent republicans want to keep
the board non-partisan, but the re-
publican city committee refuse to
support the five democratic mem
bers, hence the contest.
The Assembly Contests.
Both parties will have contests at
the primaries tomorrow in the as
sembly race. On the democratic
side there are four candidates, For
mer Assem- blyman DR.. William e.
Ramsay, of this city, and John V. L.

are New Brunswick lawyers and the
fight la between them, although Mr..
Streitwolf has the support of the
democratic county organization,
while Cook has not. On the repub-
lican side there are two local option
candidates, William J. Campbell and
Leslie e. Molineux, of Metuchen, in
the fight against Arthur V. Schenck,
Rene P. Won Minden and John F.
Ten Brock, the latter of this city.
Mr. Schenck comes from Highland
Park and Mr.. Won Minden Is New
Market man.
United States SenatOrship.
For United States senator both
sides also have a contest for the
preference. Frank NJ. McDermit
and James E. MARITIME are both on
the democratic ballot, and Charles
N. Fowler, Franklin Murphy and
Edward c. Stokes are the candidates
on the republican ticket. John
Kean and David Baird are both af
ter the Office on the republican side,
but refused to go before the voters
at the primaries. The United States
senator ia chosen by the legislature,
which is supposed to act in accord
ance with the wishes OF the people,
but is nevertheless given power by
the constitution to choose whom
ever 1t desires. Therefore the vot-
