Politics! Did they talk politics?
They surely did, and there wasn't a
live-wire candidate on board who
hadn't his own ht-a.nd-paid-for
literature to scatter about.
Herbert w. Taylor's advent into
the surrogateship contest was talked
of to a considerable extent. The Re-
publican county chairman filed his
nomination petition yesterday, as told
in the Evening Star. and had named
County Register Thomas p. Alworth

and Austen Colgate, for senator, are
the choices of the organization for the
offices to which they aspire.
On to Political Ways.
Enorrs to change the impression
failed dismally, as the ones sought to
be influenced are familiar with the
wiIes and ways of the politicians.
Mayor Hauss1ing and his Repub-
lican opponent, former Judge Ray
mond, had a number OF pleasant
chats together and joked over the
coming battle Gus Miller and
Louis Pfeiffer showed their rivals in
the Board of Works race some new
and impressive stunts in campaign
ing, and Daniel Gaven and Fred
Stickel were on the job on land and
on shore.
A laugh was created while the

man was In a quandary as to where
to locate himself.
Gee" he remarked II don't know
on which side to stand"
Come here and stand by me, Mr..
German, and you will be sure to be
on the right side" said Mayor Hauss-
ling. German promptly modified
alongside the mayor.
There was an incessant INVITING by
Republican candidates over the open
primary proposition, the ''every-man-
for himself fair deaI' cry, the alleged
'hands-off'' policy of the County
Committee and its practical indorse-
ment of certain candidates. The re-
port that Ralph Schmidt is to be
taken up by the County Committee
and backed for the shrievalty nomi-
nation, was discussed in punches and
in some instances threats of retalia-
ton were heard.
The Baumann Association is one of
the standard Republican organize
tons Of the city and, while an active
political factor since its birth over a
dozen years ago. is in a large degree
social body. Democrats are as well
come as Republicans at the hospitable
clubhouse, at 304 South Orange ave-
nue.. In fact, many Democrats are
enrolled as honorary members and
throughout the year are cheek by jowl
with the regulars. In many respects
the Baumanns, Republicans. can be
likened to the Monahans, Democrats,
from a politico-social standpoint.
They get together for jolly time on
excursion days, even If they don't al
ways vote the same ticket on cleo
ton days.
Among the public men whom the
Baumanns have ever held in high per-
eonal regard is Mayor Haussling. and
the mayor has soft spot in his heart
