W|TTPENN FRAMES
HIS TICKET EARLY
Makes Up County Ticket So
Candidates Will Get an
Early Start.

JERSEY CITY, Feb. 24.-Having
picked the ticket that he wants his
followers to support at the primaries
next fall Naval officer Wittpenn, who
has set himself up as the Democratic
boss of Hudson County, has issued
orders for all of the Wittpenn ward
clubs in Jersey City to amalgamate
for the purpose of giving what is
termed "a monster ball." in the
Fourth Regiment Armory early in
April. The purpose of the ball is
to raise funds and also to show the
strength of the Wittpenn faction of
the party in Hudson County. The
former Mayor believes in the adage:
1.-THE early bird catches the worm,"
and that is why he has framed up
his slate many months in advance of
the primaries. He vents to get his
candidates off TO a good, start.
Just now the Wittpennites have the
field to themselves. While the naval
officer is up and doing the opposition
is laying low awaiting developments.
This is the Wittpenn slate: Sheriff,
Emil Groth of North Hudson; county
clerk, John j. McGovern, of Hobo
ken; register, Hugh Mara, of Ba-
yonne; supervisor, James f. O'Mealia,
of Jersey City.
Until W eek ago it was the inten-
ton of the Wittpennites to put cam
didates in the field against Congress-
men Kinkead AMI Eagan. Congress-
man Hamiii was the only one of the
Hudson Representatives whom Witt
penn intended to support for renomi-
nation Somebody whispered some
thing into the naval officers ear and
now he is willing to include Kinkead
and Eagan in his list of candidates.
Neither Kinkead nor Eagan cared
much whether or not their candida
cies had the Wfttpenn o. K, but the
naval officer. after consultation with
a few friends, concluded that 1t would
be to his political interest not to
slight them. He is willing to take
them up-not that he cares for them,
but because of political expectancy.

Suspect Firebug of Blaze
in $1,000 Dover Bungalow
Especial to the Newark start

DOVER, Feb. 24.-Fire destroyed
the bungalow owned by George 5.
Ridner last night. The damage is es-
timated at $1,000. 1t is believed that
the fire was started by an incendiary
and for time this theory was borne
out by the fact that footprints were
found in the snow leading from the
bungalow. A short distance away,
however, the tracks became indis-
tinct.
that Ridner has had his property des-
troyed by fire. The first fire occurred
last July, when his Iron Mountain
Sanitarium, adjoining the bungalow,
was struck by lightning and destroyed
by the subsequent fire.

a decision. When the big battle is finally
fought and the result and details are
learned 1t is believed 1t will prove to be
the most sanguinary conflict of the war.
Its influence upon the entire situation
will also be of the greatest Importance.
Some military experts believe that the
Germans are now marking time in the
west. awaiting the outcome of General
Won Flindenburg's conflict with the Rus
slams Defeat in the east, it is be-
lievcd, would be followed by the inme-
diate retirement of the Germans TO their

Kaiser would then be completely on the
defensive on both fronts.
The departure of the King for the
front and his visit to the troops is be-
heved to foreshadow an early offensive
movement by the Allies. 1t is realized
that such movement will not be at
tempted until Generals Joffre and French
are convinced that the strength of the
Germans has reached a low ebb in their
vain efforts to reach the coast. The
German attack has now lost a greater
part of its force and. with fresh French
and British troops constantly arriving
the time for the Allies to strike is be-
heVed to be rapidly approaching.
