Both Run Ahead Of
Colleagues.


In both the Democratic and Republi-
can primaries was the result of the
primaries in Essex county.
The Regular Democrats simply wiped
the Wilson League candidates off tho
political map. Every ward in the City
of Newark rolled up big vote for the
organization standard bearers, even
the Ninth and Eleventh, where the
Wilson men had hoped to make a
strong showing.
One of the surprising features of the
voting was the close run that Frank
NJ McDermt gave Senator Harry v.
Osborne. McDermit, with the support
of no organization. kept trailing dan
gerously close to the senator all the
way through the county, despite the
fact that the latter was the candidate
of both the Wilson League and the
Regulars
The strength of McDermit as against
Osborne was realized by organization
leaders. The returns indicate that had
Osborne been left to his own resources
he would have been probably defeated
by McDermit The efforts of the regu-
lar organization saved him from being
among the vanquished.
John f. Monahan. the regular Demo-
cratic candidate, might have allowed
all his opponents to combine their
strength against him and even then
he would have been the choice of the
voters 1t Is nip-and- tuck between

but with Diefenthaler ahead. Philip
A Mcclure polled 2,00o------
M6nnhnn Leads by 5000.
Monahan leads Diefenthaler by more
than 5000 votes
1t was in the city of Newark where
the Regulars showed up especially
strong. The old organization candi-
dates went into the suburbs with from
$500 to 5000 votes to spare Any hopes
that the Wilson League men had of
overcoming this lead outside of New
ark We're soon dispelled, as the East
Orange. Montclair and Orange, and
other municipalities disappointed the
Wilson League men. In all these places
the vote polled was light, and the Reg
ulars lost none of them by more than
200.
The highest candidate on the Regular
ticket for assembly nominations leads
the highest candidate on the Wilson
League ticket by 1000
The victory of the Republican candi-
dates over the Progresslves was not
quite so complete as that of the Regu-
lar Democrats over their rivals, but it
was decisive nevertheless. Colonel Aus
ten Colgate finished with a lead of
$500 over William Fellowes Morgan,
Progressive, and C. Valentine Bau-
mann came across the primary tape
with 1S00 votes between him and Wal
ter F., Simpson, Progressive.
In the Republican Assembly contests
the highest man on the Regular ticket
led the highest on the Progressive by
1900. Gottlieb showed the way to the
Progressives and Weigel led the Regu-
lars.
DraciSen and shaivOy Run Ahead.
Assemblymen John J. Bracken and
Frank P. Shalvoy, singled out by Gov
ernor Wilson for particular attack on
the occasion of both his campaign vis-
its to Newark last week ran ahead
of several of their colleagues on the
regular Democratic Assembly ticket
DR.. Charles F. Kraemer and Alder
man Alexander Archibald have been
named by decisive ma1orities as tho
Democratic candidates for the Board
of Works. On the Republican side the
Board of Works nominees are August
J. Miller and Arthur r. Denman, Reg
uars, who left their Progressive oppo-
nents far in the distance.
In every ward in the city the can
didates for the Common Council
backed by the Regular organization
have been successful.
For the nominations for the smaM
Board Of Freehoders the voters have
put none but organization men on
guard. The Regular Democrats de-
feated the Wilson League selections
here, as elsewhere. and the Regular
Republicans disposed of the Progress
sives in the same manner
Notwithstanding the fact that na-
tion-wide interest had been aroused in
the primaries by the fact that Cow
ernor Wilson staked his political future
on the results here by making a vigor-
Gus campaign on the stump for the
candidates of the Wilson League. there
was a much lighter vote than might
have been expected under the eircum-
stances This was partly due to this
workings of the Geran primary law.
the voters taking practically the aane
attitude toward certain features of that
act as they did not long ago to the
voting machines.
In the Republican primaries there
were less than 10000 votes as con-
trasted with $4,000 year ago
The Wilson League men carried
Montclair by an average lead of $50
on the Assembly results. They led in
Irvington by less than 100 In Orange
they had the advantage by vote
