DEMOCRATS WORRIED
| OVER JERSEY DISTRICT
Administration on Trial in Election
Of Successor to Deceased
Representative.

Democrats in Congress. as we'll as ad-
ministration men elsewhere in Washing
ton. are little worried over the situation
Mn the seventh New Jersey district, where
a successor to the late Representative
Robert Gum Bremner, democrat. is to be
elected. The election will be held April 7.
At the latest count, seventeen men had
announced their intention of entering the
race, and many of them are strong re-
publicans. Reports from the district
show that If the democrats carry on the
fight with the Underwood tariff as an
issue the republicans will welcome an
out-and-out old-time tariff row, as the
district has thousands of men interested
in big manufacturing plants.
Paterson Has Important Part.
The city Of Paterson. supported almost
solely by silk mills and allied industries.
will play a big part in the election, and
the republicans believe that the recent
strikes there will have an effect upon the
vote. If the socialists cast as many
ballots as they expect. the republicans
claim the socialists will draw from the
strength of the democrats In the mean
time the progressive party has picked a
man for victory or slaughter. whichever
it may turn out to be. County chair
men are saying the election will be
free-for-all affair. By no means does
it appear at present to be a democratic
victory. Republicans, of course, will make
the most Of democratic defeat in Presi-
dent Wilson's own state.
OF National Aspect.
Figuring that democratic victory in
these parlous times will be a great event.
the national party appears to be taking
an interest in the situation, and VIII
send some of its prize speakers to such
important stamping centers as Passaic
and Paterson. New Jersey democratic
congressman are preparing to go into the
district to explain why the Presidents
hands should be upheld, while republic
cans are preparing an elegant list Of
figures to show what they believe the
Underwood tariff has done to the coun-
try.
Hughes Indicates Choice.
Senator Hughes of Paterson has been
looking over the field for the likeliest
kind of democratic timber. and has told
friends here that Anton ]. Peterson Of
Passaic, N. j.. looks pretty good to him.
Mr. Peterson was formerly city surveyor
Of Passaic.
Progressives have decided to support
Henry c. Whitehead, formerly corpora
ton counsel of Passaic. The woods are
full of republicans who would like to
make a fight for Congress. The question
Of candidates will be decided March "A,
when a primary election will be held.
