ALL SIGNS POINT
TO HAUSSL|NG
AS THE WINNER
The Mayor Is Picked to Defeat
Raymond by an Overwhelm-
ing Vote.
DEMOCRATS COUNT
ON WORKS BOARD WIN
That Wilson and Fielder Urge
Support of Candidates Au-
gurs General Victory.


With the exception of the custom
ary finishing touches applied to poht-
ical campaigns and which will be put
on tonight with artistic skill, the pre-
lifninary work of the present CAM
paign can be considered closed incl
dent, the rest being left to the voter
TO dispose of tomorrow, according to
his own sweet will.
As usual, the mayoralty contest has
attracted the greatest interest-has
been q sort of storm centre, so to
speak. The candidates for this office
have fought hard and earnestly, have
attended meetings, addressed gather
ings of voters, participated in street
parades and figured in the hundred
and one features incident to q cam
paign of this kind
Looking at the situation from every
angle and viewpoint there is but one
conclusion to reach, and that Is that
Mayor Jacob Haussling viii be re-
elected by a substantial majority,
!. many students of politics being will
ing to wager that he will defeat his
Republican opponent, Thomas L. Ray
1nond, by larger plurality than he
secured over Louis V. Aronson in 1912,
which was 6,229.
1t has reached the point where bet
ting men have abandoned all hopes
of placing Raymond money against
Haussling money at any odds what
soever, and are turning their atten-
ton to candidates for the other Of
fees. This is fact, although a Sun
day publication and an afternoon
paper made other statements. Their
betting experts knew the difference,
however but admit that they are
writing for political effect and not to
establish regulations for veracity in
chronicling events.
Why Haussling Is Favored.
In estimating the chances on the
nlayoralty many reasons are adj
vanced to indicate a Haussling vic
tory over Raymond. The mayor, it
is pointed out, is a four times WIN
ner, and is apparently stronger with
the people today than ever before In
his public career. The working
CLASSES are heartily for him, because
of his proved friendship for them and
the freedom and liberty they hsve
enjoyed Observation-Disclosures al a
through his efforts. He never made
a promise that he ala not Iu1iiH and
has always mingled with the conn
mon people. He is, they say, plain
Jacob Haussling, born in Newark
and raised in Newark, with a repu-
Tation for honesty and achievement
in public office that any man might
envy.
With the business people and the
church-going people the mayor is also
strong, for the reason that he treats
all with courtesy, deep consideration
and justice. They say that they al
,.4., u
and can always believe what he says.
There Is nothing deceptive or evasive
about any of his utterances or deeds
and his record for advancement and
progress in educational and other
matters speaks for itself.
Raymond Promises too Much.
On the other hand, it is contended
that Raymond is too much given to
making promises and that the in
huences behind him would direct his
course on the liberal question, which
Is of deep interest to Newarkers. The
News Call and Anti-Saloon League
are behind Raymond. and each of
these elements is against the spirit
of liberality SO dear TO the people OF
the city. This is what is being talked
about. The promises of making Roe
Yer, who keeps a saloon, a member of
the, excise commission and doing
something nice for a man named Nc
1saughlin and another named Van
Horne, connected with the Liquor
Dealers Association, have already
gone up in smoke.
Not a Real Newarker.
Again it is said that Raymond is
not Newarker, has not lived here
much over six years; in fact has held
only appointive offices and has failed
to display ability as a business man.
Ills receivership for Passaic valley
sewer contractors and its conse-
duences are not being overlooked.
I-nen mis- evident desire to keep news
paper reporters from hearing what he
had to say at church meetings and
his remarks at meetings, in cafe halls,
