JUDGE DUGAN SAYS
GREGORY IS RIGHT
Received Same Opinion About
Filing Petition for Congress
sionaI Nomination.

That section AZ of the election laws,
Which Mayor Julian A. Gregory
laims he followed, requires the filing
# nominating petitions for Congress
the Ninth district with the secre-
airy of States office, and not with
he county clerk, was also asserted
oday by Judge Daniel A. Dugan, or
orange, who originally intended to
nter the race for former Congress-
nan Walter l. McCoy's place on the
Democratic ticket.
The contention of Mayor Gregory
hat he will be the only Democrat to
lave his name on the ticket, under
net Congressional title, is dismissed
s4of no value by City Counsel Ar
hur b. Seymour, Of orange, who
vas nominated for the vacancy by
he Democratic committeeman from
he Ninth district. Seymour said to-
lay he will pay no attention to the
laims of Mayor Gregory.
The latter today reiterated his for
ner expressions of opinion that the
secretary of states office alone could
-eceive the nominating petitions.
There is no question in my mind
hat there will be but one Democrats
name on the ticket for that office,
ne said, land that name Will be Jul
ian A. Gregory"
Judge Dugan said he inquired at
he secretary of states office con-
corning the proper way to file the pc
tition for Congress, and received a
letter from Frank Transue, chief
clerk, confirming his Gudge Dugan's)
opinion that the petitions and sigma
lures were to be filed at Trenton and
not with the county clerk. In con
irmation of his opinion, Mayor
Gregory today said: ut is signiii-
can't that the office of the secretary
Of state was open until midnight on
Friday, which was the last day for
filing petitions"
1t is expected the question of al
lowing the names OF Messrs. Sey-
mour and Gregory to go on the
ticket as Democratic nominees will
be threshed out in court. 1t is under
stood the attorney-generaPs office
has been asked for an opinion upon
the points involved.

Nothing is so essential to health
in advancing age as keeping the
bowels open. 1t makes one feel
younger and fresher and forestalls
colds. piles. fevers, and other de-

Cathartics and purgatives are
violent and drastic in action and
should be avoided. A mild, effective
laxative-tonic, recommended by
physicians and thousands who have
used it, is the combination of sim

LACK Of MOISTURE
DRYING UP CROPS
Apples, Peaches, cranberries
and Vegetables Feel Need
of Rain.

The continued dry weather in Vest
ern Essex and Morris counties Is
causing the truck farmers of that
section much worry. as the late fruit
and vegetable crops are being ruined
for the lack of moisture. The dam
age at the present time is very great
and If the dry weather continues the
enetire crops will be ruined.
The apple crop. which is quite
large this year, has been badly in
jured In nearly all cases where
there are large orchards there are
more apples on the ground than on
the trees. Northern Spys and Var
Duyne apples are feeling the effects
OF the dry weather more than other
varieties. These two varieties are
used for nearly every purpose. The
dry weather has loosened them from
the trees, and in dropping they be.
come bruised, and will not Keep. Al
the present time where farmers nave
large quantities of them they are
gathering them preparatory to hav-
ing them made into cider or vinegar.
Although the peach crop Is nearly
exhausted. the late varieties were
affected to some extent by the dry
conditions, as they were very small
and not very juicy.
Cranberries, although they are not
raised in large quantities In this sec
ton of the State, are also feeling the
effects Of the dry weather. They are
generally raised where the ground
Is sandy. and need considerable
moisture, and where they are raised
in this section the bushes are drying
up and the small berries are dropping
off.
Late vegetables, such as beets, pota--
toes, cabbage and celery, are affected
to a large extent. They will be very
scarce unless rain comes soon.
On some OF the large truck farms
the farmers have been put TO consid-
cradle expense by irrigating their
land, and by doing SO will save some
of their crops. But In places where
the farmers depend upon springs to
supply them with water for all pur-
poses the situation is serious. The
springs are becoming very low, and
IL is very doubtful If they will hold
out much longer.
Several farmers along the Passaic
and Rockaway rivers have con-
structed large tanks on the high
gtound of their property and are fill-
ing them from the rivers, and from
these tanks pipes are laid to where
their crops are located and the water
is distributed in this manner, An
other method of irrigation is that OF
placing long pipes on the ground be-
tween the rows of vegetables. Small
holes are drilled in these pipes, so
that they point upward. and when
water is forced through 1t falls on
the crops the same as rain.
