SEE WITTPENN'S I
POLITICAL DEATH
Hague's Victory Declared to Be
Forerunner Of Result Of
Coming Election.

JERSEY CITY. N. J., May 1.-the
figures of Tuesdays primary election
for commission government candi-
dates indicate that Mayor Wittpenn
is losing his grip on local politics.
That the five candidates whom he
supported were among the ten sue
cessful ones did not surprise anyone.
It would have been surprising had
any of them been beaten. The sur
prise was that the Wittpenn candi-
dates received less than 20 per cent.
of the total vote po1led, while Frank
Hague, who led the fight against
Mayor Wittpenn. polled over rs per
cent. of the vote.
Mayor Wittpenn was as anxious
that Hague should be beaten as he
was that his candidates should be
elected. Hague was third man on the
ticket, receiving many votes ahead OF
four of the Wittpenn candidates.
This, in connection with the fact that
Mark M Pagan. Republican, was high
man on the ticket, is regarded as q
rebuke to the Wittpenn administra-
ton.
Having failed in his efforts to de.
feat Hague, the Mayor has already
issued orders to his lieutenants that
the fight against the man who has
exposed the Mayors favoritism to
corporations must be kept up.
Hague must be beaten said the
Mayor. His election will ruin my
chances for the gubernatorial nomi-
nation"
In accordance with the Mayors
program of attack on Hague his lieu
tenants are circulating the story that
Hague had formed combinations with
practically all of the candidates ana
that they are blaming him for their
failure to win. Talks with the candi-
dates mentioned disclosed the fact
that there is no truth In the story.
President Finke of the Street and
Water Board. and Philip Tumulty,
jr., who were among the defeated
candidates, have assured Hague they
are with him to the finish.
Professional and business men were
among more than one hundred per-
sons who called on Hague here and
congratulated him on his nomination.
because OF MS dctlVlty dedlubt
Mayor Wittpenn Hague is to be the
target for attack by the Wittpenn
followers. The Mayor and his organ
ization will stand by the flve Witt
penn candidates Sentiment is 50
strong against the administration
that 1t is doubtful If any of the Witt
penn candidates will be elected.
The anti Wittpenn Democratic car-
didates are Hague, James Ferris and
George F. Brensineer. Mark NJ
Pagan and Thomas Stewart are the
only Republicans who were success
full.

Between
Ourselves

For the four months end
ing May LIST building opera
tons in Newark totaled S.
45O,5l4.
A tidy sum, is it not?
Newark, according to the
official census of 1910, was
the FOURTEENTH city in
the United States. Today
Newark is probably : the
ELEVENTH or TWELFTH
city. In building operations,
however, Newark is the ninth
city, being excelled only by
New York, Chicago, Los
Angeles, Detroit, Philadel-
phia, Cleveland, Buffalo and
San Francisco.
New York, being the larg-
est city, has spent the largest
-fifty-three millions
but, in proportion to popu-
lation, Newark, with Ave and
one-half million dollars TO
her credit for building op-
erations, makes a better
showing.
Newark's growth is steady
substantiaI-lasting. What we do
WE DO WELL.
We have no hesitancy in pre-
dieting that in seven years from
now the Industrial City will &C.
cupy the eighth or ninth place in
point of population.
