PLANNING FOR
MUTUAL HELP
BY TEAM WORK
Wiseacres Suspect That Ray
mond and Stokes Will Soon
Hook Up.

Teaming among the candidates for
United States senator and governor
in the Republican primaries in 1915
is being quietly figured upon, accord
ing to some, but ostensibly, every
body at this stage of the game, is
going it alone. But that there will
be one team is a certainty and that
team-unless the political winds are
twisted and the weather-cocks rusted
will be:
Former Governor Edward Casper
Stokes, Millville, Cumberland county.
for United States senator.
Mayor Thomas Lynch Raymond, of
Newark, Essex county, for governor.
The entry of that team will clear
up and explain a whole lot of things
that have puzzled the mechanics
about the Essex county Republican
garage for some weeks back. 1t ex
plains the clash between Raymond
and Alfred N. Dalrymple, the recog-
nized chief mechanic OF the Essex
machine, and it explains the growing
friendliness between the Stokes and
Raymond workers.
When Mr.. Dalrymple charged
Mayor Raymond with stealing parts
of his machine, he evidently had dis
covered that the mayor was building
another machine, in cooperation
with Mr.. Stokes, in which the two
might cop out the prizes in the
primaries in 1916. Mr.. Dalrymple
said he didn't like to have anyone
stealing parts of the regular machine
to make another one to compete with
1T.
Figuring 1t Out.
Mayor Raymond hasn't given up his
gubernatorial ambitions by any
means, it is said, and is even more
strongly convinced that he can win
with the aid of Stokes in South Jer-
sey. The Stokes-Raymond combine
figure that the first half of the team
can carry South Jersey and with the
help of Raymond IN Newark and Es-
sex county carry the State. Raymond,
it is believed, counts on the Stokes
aid in the lower counties to give him
the nomination.
The mayor is convinced, it is said,
that he controls the Republican vote
in Newark, and after the next elec-
ton will control it in Essex county.
At the next election it is declared
that the Raymond forces will attempt
to take the whole Essex machine, in
stead of taking it by parts, by elect
ing county committeeman Of their be-
lief in every district in the county.
With a man he can trust at the
wheel in the county committee, Ray
mond may tender the use of the whole
machine to Stokes. Then, according
to the dope that has been written In
the mayors little book, he and his
political partner will crank up, jump
in and drive to victory.
OF course they would run over "Dal
Senator Colgate, who is an entry for
governor, andN former Governor
Franklin Murphy. who is an entry for
United States Senator, both of whom
have been rendered the use of the Es-
sex machine. The trio and, others
who should attempt to interfere with
Raymond would be left in the road
to die-politically.
An inkling of the turn things were
taking was given at the County Com
mittee meeting last Friday night.
Assemblyman Judge H. Edward
Wolf said he had to send for "a big
Republican" to get the police judge
bill out of the Senate committee. The
"big Republican" he explained, was
