Especial Trenton Correspondence
Trenton.-Lindley M. Garrison, Sec.
rotary of War, reviewed the 1st and
9Th regiments of the New Jersey Ma
tional Guard at the State camp
grounds, Sea Girt, while a crowd of
more than 10000 cheered enthusiastic-
ally.
Governor Fielder sat beside the Sec
rotary of War as the guardsmen
marched past, and when the review
was owe Mr.. Garrison told the Gov
ernor that the civilian soldiers had
made a splendid showing.
1T was fine," the Secretary said.
Secretary Garrison, accompanied by
Mrs. Garrison and Captain Mccoy, his
aide, did not arrive at the Little
White House" until 4 o'clock. The
crowd around the Governors cottage
was so thick that a company of in
fantry had to clear a way so that the
Secretary of War could pass. He re-
ceived the regulation salute of seven
teen guns.
Included in the crowd we're promin-
emit Republican and Democratic poll
ticians from Essex, Bergen, P~assaic,
Sussex and Warren counties, who had
been invited to the luncheon which
Governor Fielder gives each Friday
during the camp season.
Among them were Ex-Governor John
Franklin Fort, Senator Charles O'Con-
NOR HannnoCu q hrOfhar 0f T1I~
H~ennessy, of New York, and Rich
ard G. Jenkinson, a Newark business
man who refused a Republican nom
nation for Congress so that he could
go in training for the Republican nom
ination for Governor two years from
now. Senator Hennessy also has his
hat in the ring as a candidate for
the Democratic nomination at that
time.
While the review was on the Sec
rotary of Wal looked the guardsmen
" with a critical eye, and it was
with seeming reluctance that he gave
the order to his aide to start back
to the Governors cottage, for evening
parade was to follow shortly, and Mr..
Garrison did not want to miss it.
In the evening the Secretary and
Mrs. Garrison were the guests of
Governor and Mrs. Fielder at dinner.
The day being the first Governors
Day Of the season, there were political
booms a-plenty. Some of them yer
interesting.
Former Sheriff "BilT' Harrigan, one
Of Newark's 18-carat Democrats, an
nounced himself as an aspirant for the
Democratic nomination for sheriff in
Essex this fall. Former Assemblyman
John ]. Mathews declared he was go
ing to run for Senator in the same
county as a Wilson candidate. He
said he wasn't going to run at the
primaries, but would run on Election
Day only.
J. William Huegel, VINO expects to
be the Republican candidate for sher-
if in Essex, was also busy, while SEN
ator Austin Colgate, of that county,
who is going to be renominated,
smiled serenely as he heard of the
troubles in the Democratic ranks.
Among the leading Democrats who
greeted the Secretary of War, were
J. Spencer Smith, president Of the
Harbor Commission; Senator Peter
McGinniss, of Passaic, and Senators
Samuel Munson and P. J. Dolan, of
Sussex.
The death of Bugler Albert B. Craig,
of the 1st Infantry, and the injury of
four other soldiers cast a pail over
the guardsmen. This did not disa1-
pear, despite the ceremonies attend
ant upon the visit of Secretary Gar
rison.
