choice seems to lie between John
Graham, Sr., who ran as a Progress
sive Republican, State Assessor
George l.. Record, who although he
declared for Roosevelt, ran for con-
gress as a Republican pledged to
Roosevelt policies.
The Democratic contests have re-
suited in,the nomination of the fql-
lowing congressional candidates
First district, Colonel D. Stewart
Craven of Salem. Second district,
Mayor J. Thompson Baker, Of Wild
wood. Third district, Congressman
Thomas J. Scully, of Middlesex, who
was unopposed. Eouth district, AL
len B. Walsh, of this city, who made
a surprising run in a field of nine
candidates and easily defeated
| George NJ. Lamonte, of Somerset,
who was looked upon as the most
likely to land the nominations. Fifth
district, Congressman William e..
futile, Jr., of Union, unopposed.
Sixth district, former Prosecutor
Lewis J. Martin, of Sussex. Seventh
district, Robert G. Bremnef, the Pas
sale editor. Eighth district, Con-
gresham Eugene f. Kinkead, unop-
posed. Ninth district, Congressman
Walter L. Mccoy, renominated.
Tenth district, Congressman Edward
w. Townsend, renominated. rElev-
enth district, five candidates were in
the field and the outcome is still
doubtful, with thep reliability that
John j. Egan, who ran as a Wilson
Democrat, has been nominated.
Twelfth district, Congressman James
E. Hammill, of Jersey City.
The Roosevelt Republicans have
already nominated by petition con-
gressional candidates in several dis
tricts and it is expected they will
have a full congressional ticket in
the field. State senators are reflect
ed in November in six counties and
there were contests for the nominal
tons in five of them. The Republi-
cans nominated the following tick
ct: Burlington, Assemblyman Blan-
chard H. White. Cape May former
Senator Lewis NJ. Crosse. Hunter
don, John c. Hahnes, a farmer and
fancy fruit grower of Annadale.
Middlesex, ~Assemblyman John F.
Ten Brock, of Perth Amboy. Pas
sale county, Thomas F. McCran, the
present speaker of the assembly.
Sussex county, former Prosecutor
Henry Huston. The feature of the
Democratic contest for the senator
ial nominations was in HunterdOn
county where the Smith faction,
| headed by former Senator James H.
Pidock and known as the pirate"
placed il the field as their candidate
former Senator George Martens.
The candidate of the PrOgressives,
headed by State Senator William C.
Gebhardt, named as their candidate
A. c. Hulsizer, of Pennington. The
returns thus far reported indicate
| the nomination of Martens. During
his former term in the senate
charges were preferred against Mar
tens in connection with a bill to IL
cense paWnbrOkers. There was an
Investigation and although the
charges were not sustained Martens
political career at that time was con-
sidered blasted. The Republican
leaders declare that his nomination
will mean the election of Haynes the
Republican candidates and thus will
increase the Republican majority in
the senate. With the Republicans
controlling the senate the next SEN
ate president will be a Republican
and thus give that party the acting
governship with a lot of important
appointments if Governor Wilson
shall be elected president and resign
the OyernOrShip.
