cratic party leadership is becoming
the recipient of some severe bumps
over here, and to many it looks as If
1t were going a-glimmering. The
! politicians have been saying for some
time past that under existing condi-
tions that whoever can pull out ahead
| in Jersey City and Hudson county
! can put in a claim for the leader
ship title, whether the honor is an
empty one or otherwise.
Governor Fielder may be the chief
executive of the State all right
! enough. but Jersey City folks, it is
pointed out, are inclined to get under
the banner of the fellow whose fac
tion appears to be able to deliver
the most goods. AS the destinies of
the nation are presumably shaped in
a large degree from Jersey City and
as the Governor of New Jersey re-
sides here the community is naturally
a political battle-ground
And the city and county are in
the throes of bitter factional strife
at present. The lines between the
Fielderites and the followers of
Naval Officer II. Otto wittpenn are
| drawn taut, almost to the swapping
poih.' Whdt the outcome VIII be no
man knoweth President Wilson is
more or less involved in the fight,
Wittpenn being Wilson adherent,
and Governor Fielder proclaiming
