THE SENATORIAL PRIMARY RESULTS.

II I was an unfairly onesided battle in the Democratic pi-

ever so potent in the hands of the executive, with the authority

ieran law violated in spirit and essence by mandatory with

heir aid to the campaign against former Senator Smith, showing
the ~incEnatons of the Wall Street interests that control these
papers, and indicating how their influence was used in the cleo

Essex, where former Senator Smith is best known, there is the
tribute of a majority that may well compensate him for the vote
ir the State and the adverse result of the election. And it was
given against the same tremendous influences that operated
so powerfully and so unfairly against him elsewhere in the
State.

WINS BY
MAJORITY OF ZOO
Bloomfield Mayor Defeats Op'
ponent in Every District
Except One.

There was a light vote polled in
Bloomfield and Glen Ridge yesterday,
the weather keeping many away from
the polls, while others took no in
terest in the primaries whatever. The
Bull Moosers refrained from voting
in accordance with an agreement
made at a recent meeting of that fac
ton.
William Hauser was renominated
for mayor on the Republican ticket
over James Mahlon Walker by a ma
jority of 200. He received 460 votes
to 260 for Walker, and he carried
every district except Walkers home
district, which the latter won by 10.
Michael N. Higgins was named as
the Democratic candidate for mayor
without opposition. Charles H. Madole
defeated Joseph 7. Charles for the
councilmanic nomination in the First
ward by a majority of IA. Edward
j. Hughes was named for the office
by the Democrats.
Robert d. Rawson. Republican. was
renominated for tax assessor over
Cyrus F. Pierson by a big majority.
The Democrats nominated Charles
Jaeger. In the Second ward Frederick
Sadler was renominated for council
man on the Republican ticket with
out opposition. The Republicans in
the Third ward named Charles A.
Harrington for member of the Town
Council. while the Democrats re-
nominated Frank N. Unangst.
The Socialists polled about 80 votes
in the town, naming Jacob Ham
bacher for mayor, Detlef Hintz for
assessor. Samuel banks for town
clerk and William Charles Busch for
tax collector. The Socialist nominees
for Town Council are: First ward,
Jacob Hauck; Second ward, John D
Bohl; Third ward, Michael Ham
bacher.
The Republicans renominated Ray
mond f. Davis for town clerk and
Frank Foster for collector of taxes.
In Glen Ridge there were no con-
tests for local offices. A feature OF
the primaries there was the fact that
the Democrats polled about 20 more
votes than the Republicans. This was
the first time in the history of the
borough.

How the Campaign Progresses
Progressive Democratic Republican
G. O.P. VICTORY IS
TAFT'S PREDICTION
Sees Break in Solid South and
West for Republicans-Goes
to Altoona, Pa.

ALTOONA, Pa, Sept. 2~5.-President
New York to participate in the semi
centennial of the Loyal War Gov
ernors' conference.
Before leaving for Altoona yester-
day the President gave out the fol-
lowing statement:
Five or six weeks ago 1t vas as
serted generally that the Republican
party would secure the vote of the
solid East, including all of the New
England States, with the exception
of Maine and Vermont; that the
Democratic party would maintain It's
hold on the solid South, and that the
third-term party would secure the
solid West, leaving only the Middle
West as debatable ground.
To-day, with the election still one
month away. the Republican party
finds itself with a strengthened hold
on the solid East, having routed the
third-term party in Vermont and the
Democratic party in Maine. The
third-term leaders recently conceded
that we would pick the State of Utah
out of the solid West and, after con-
ferring with Chairman Hilles and
others recently in the West, there Is
every reason to believe hat the Re-
publican party will carry Michigan,
Washington. Idaho and wyoming.
Moreover, If the proper kind of a
campaign is waged we will carry
Oregon, Kansas and Minnesota,
where the third-term strength has
rapidly waned."

MLSON|TES LOSE
OUT N M0NTCLA|R
Only One Candidate Elected in
Eleven County Commit
tee Contests.

The election in Montclair passed
off quietly, although there were d
number of very hot contests. On
account of the supporters of the Bull
Moose party failing to &c to the
polls. there were in some districts
more Democratic votes polled than
Republican, which is a state of af-
fairs that never happened in Mont
clair before.
In every district the Regular Dem
ocrats n the Wilson Democrats
had a holly contested fight for mem
bers of the county committee, anG
the regulars won out In ten of the
| eleven districts. The lone Wilson
Democrat who pulled out was Her.
man H. Peterson, of the second dis
trict of the Fifth ward.
On the Republican side the battle
for member of the county commit
tee from the second district of the
Fourth ward between County Regis
ter Thomas P. Alworth and Council
man Thomas P. McGlynn caused the
greatest excitement, and was
watched with interest by Republi-
cans and Democrats in all parts of
the town. Mr.. Alworth, who has
carried the district for twenty sue
cessive years, vas again victorious
by a vote of rs to go. The interest
in the fight between these two men
was due to the fact thai up until a
yea ago they were close friends in
both a political and social way.
For the office of member of Town
Council in the Fourth ward there
was opposition in both the Republi-
can and Democratic ranks. Former
Town Engineer Gerardo Immediate
defeated Councilman Arthur G. Will
son for the Republican nomination,
and Willis Dupuy defeated James j.
Fusco for the Democratic nominal
ton.
Councilmen David Henney. Of the
First ward; George Praster. of the
Second ward: William IL. Schoon-
maker, of the Third ward, and P.
Maxwell Foshay, of the Fifth ward,
ali Republicans, had no opposition
tc their denomination. Their Demo-
cratic opponents at the election in
November will be: First ward, Will
lam C. Cannon; Second ward. Joseph
L. Kennedy; Third ward, John f.
O'Neill, and Fifth ward, Robert c.
Thompson.
Congressman Edward w. Town
send beat his opponent. Herbert W.
Knight, by a two to one vote. One
enthusiastic Republican in the First
district of the Third ward cast mis-
ballot for Mr.. Townsend. w. 1.
Lincoln Adams, of Monaclair, Repab-
lican candidate for Congress from
the Tenth congressional district, re-
ceived 500 votes, while his opponent,
William G. Webster received 100.
The supporters of Roosevelt and
Johnson are jubilant owe the result
of the vote polled yesterday. They
claim that the Democrats polled
pretty hear their full vote IN ac-
count of the contests in each district
for members of the county commit
tee. There are $500 voters in Mont
clair, and the total vote polled yes
terday was less than 1000. 1t is
claimed that those who remained
away from the polls did so because
they were supporters of the Roose-
welt faction, and that they are large
ly in the majority. The question of
putting a full Bull Moose ticket in
the field next November will be
taken up at once.

THE STORY OF A TON OF COAL.

TnO PHILADELPHIA has the right kind of mayor. Mayor
liz Blankenberg considers it a part of his duty to look into
the cost of living and its causes. He has had experts
finding out why coal is 81 a ton, and here is the way they
figure it: The Reading Coal Company pays $3.50 at the mines
and bills the coal at "a to $415 for domestic sizes. Then the
Reading Railway Company comes on the scene. 1t charges $170
10 haul the ton of coal to Philadelphia. According to rates in
force throughout the United States it should not be over ninety
i've cents. Finally, $130 is allowed the retailer for handling,
while the experts say 81 would be Il fair price. All this means
that a ton of coal in the householders cellar ought to cost him
1925 instead of 81. The city thus has a good case to bring
before the Interstate Commerce Commission, which can investi
gate the cost of coal and the causes thereof in all cities and
towns. Mayor Blankenberg has set things in motion.

facts, first, the tremendous Republican loss to the Bull Moose,
which has almost wiped out the Republican organization in
many States, and, second, that the drift from the Democratic

THE VOTE THAT STAYED AT HOME.

IT F the interest of the voters of New Jersey in this presidential
election year were judged by the figures of the primary
vote throughout the State yesterday, the judgment would
be that New Jersey had less interest in the November election
than it would ordinarily have in a local election. But that judg-
inent would be in fault. There is a deep interest, but in a year
when political parties are disintegrating and new combinations
are forming the party primary loses its Importance. Vastly
more voters stayed away from yesterdays primaries than the
number that voted, and they constitute the great unknown
quantity that will appear in the election results in November
and decide them. How many thousands of these voters will turn
10 the Bull Moose party is something beyond mortal ken.
Probably there will be some hints after the Bull Moose cam
paign is under way in New Jersey and after its candidate has
