place bets on the ponies. He lives up
in Bergen street, but can more fire.
gently be found down town, where,
with Horace Holcombe. former Repub-
lican alderman and freebooter, and
known to be particularly successful
In obtaining the votes of the lodging
house district, he keeps an eye on ths
political situation. He likewise Keeps
q run as to the way the ponies are
running. This is what almost every
body says, at all events.
As to who finances NUM- 10 enaple
him to finance the campaign OF NUM-,
Quinn and Stein. is matter OF
doubt. NUM- isn't oVerburdened with
cash In his own right. If he We're
wealthy, 1t Is reasoned, he woulon
be working at odd times helping vari-
Gus butchers in meat cutting during
rush hours. A year or so ago he was
turned down" for an office under the
Republican Board of Freeholders, al
though he was o recognized Repub-
lican; but why he seeks to get
hunk" as the expression was made,
with Democrats by running on the
Democratic ticket is problem. Now,
who is backing NUM- & Co? Who Is
urging them along lines that Bernard
w. Terlinde, of the Wilson League
claims are intended to mislead Pro-
gressive Democrats and constitute
Political deception?
Jacob Stein, like NUM-, Is a butcher,
but Is in business for himself. To a
reporter for the Evening Star he ad-
mitted that he voted in the Repub-
lican urinary box a year ago. He
had been a Democrat once, he said.
10 Demo-
Gratis as a Democrat this year.
STEMS explained reasons for filing
a petition as a Democrat are de-
cidedly peculiar, and. In sense,
amazing. STEMS nephew, Jacob
Rosenstrut, who ran for freebooter
last year as Republican, was de-
feated. Therefore, Stein got sore"
He had voted for Rosenstrut. his
nephew, and had also voted for Louis
V. Aronson Republican candidate for
mayor. In a spirit of retaliation
Stein decided this year to be a candi-
date himself. He meant TO get even
with somebody for the defeat of his
nephew, candidate on the Repub-
ican ticket.
If that was his feeling, he was
asked. why did he not file a petition
as Republican or O Progressive?
erowding on to the Democratic ticket
when his grievance, naturally, was
with the Republicans? Stein hedged
some. twisted more than little, and.
seeing the incongruity of his posi-
tion. replied that there might be
something in that, too, but he was
told. He didn't say what he was
told or who told him. AS for Harry
Quinn. he will have little to say for
publication. but he is sending cards
with his picture on them and de-
claring for Wilson principles. Last
Sunday he had boys standing in front
of churches handing out the cards.
He paid for the cards himself, 1t is SO
stated. This will mean so much less
for. NUM- to settle for, but in poll
ties this would look as If Quinn was
double crossing. NUM- and Stein. in
order to score more votes than they
and demonstrate a personal popular
ity greater than theirs. NUM- and
Stein should protest. 1t is not fair &c
them this plan of Quinn's. 1t savors
too much of personally conducted
| campaign.
Demands Registry List.
! Quinn was active today. He is q
great campaigner. Going to change
things. He entered the office OF
County Clerk McDonough and. with
an air of Importance. requested 9
copy of the complete registry list OF
the sixteen wards of Newark.
Thirty dollars please" remarked
the clerk in charge.
WHAT" demanded Quinn, sur.
prised.
Thirty dollars is the cost" re.
Piled the clerk.
Don't you supply such lists for
nothing?" asked Quinn.
mot this year of Our Lord" re-
turned the clerk.
Quinn departed without the list.
In the face of the proclaimed fact
that the woodrow Wilson League is
not running a candidate for any Of
flee whatsoever, that the league Is
supporting the regular Democratic
candidates who won out in the open
primaries, and that Bernard w. Ter.
linde, of the Wilson League, accused
NUM-. Stein and Quinn of being
usurpers, several pertinent questions
are being asked
who are responsible for the trio
named above running on the Demo.
