So he rowed for two miles until he
found a bag Of oats. Then he rowed
the two miles back, slowly this time,

came in sight the old gray horse

Gordon did it. He fixed nosebag of

the county for the Democratic nomi-

majority of $50, Stokes 367 and
Colby 8.
Fielder made a great run all over
the county and beat Katzenbach in
every district according to the pres
ent returns. Even in South River
and SayreVille where 1t was reported
that the Mercer county man had a
big following, Fielder won two to
one. Woodbridge gave Fielder 305 to
katzenbacn's 58, and South Amboy

Fielder. In the small places about
the county the vote was two and

New Brunswick gave Fielder a
majority of 468 over Katzenbach.
Fielder's vote was 976 and Katzen-
