Democrats Hopeful for
General Election.

After an exhaustive analysis of the
latest primary returns, it is seen that
the combined "Anti-Dal" and No Boss
League and other independent vote
exceeded the regular Republican vote
completely throughout the county.
Especially in the struggle for the
register nomination was the antag
onism to the Republican organization
emphasized. Its selection was Walter
A. Evans, director of the Board of
Freeholders, and 1t was thoroughly
understood that a vote for any one
of his five rivals would be interpreted
as slap at the organization. The
total vote on tho register nomination
was as follows:
Walter A. Evans, Reg.... 8O40
Combined opposition. ......... 1898
This gave the latter a majority of
7,94S. In the city of Newark the vote
was S,742 to 4,416 in favor of the op-
position.
In the contest for the Assembly
nominations the combined vote for the
nigh men on the opposition tickets
was more than the vote received by
the highest candidate on the organi-
cation ticket.
The vote for the high men follows
George NJ. Titus, Reg. .......,. 12,O57
Combined vote of highest rivals 1888
If the opposition Assembly vote had
been combined, it is also true that
some of the twelve regulars would
have been nominated, anyhow, as the
combined vote of all the anti candi-
dates was not greater than the vote
of all the organization men.
The average vote received by the
Assembly tickets follows;
Combined anti ticket. ...,...... Ie,4s5
Average regular vote. .......... IL ,798
Farley is High Democrat.
The highest candidate on the anti
Dal" ticket was Frying, and the high
est on the No Boss League ticket was
Garrabrant. The most popular candi-
date on the organization Democratic
ticket, judging by the primary re-
turns. is James j. Farley, who re-
ceived 10,911 votes. The best showing
on the Wilson League Assembly ticket
was made by James +. Mooney, with
1926 votes.
Investigation of the Republican
freeholder vote discloses an existence
of anti-organization sentiment similar
TO that. revealed by the Assembly
vote. The vote obtained by the high
est candidates follows:
Pennington, Reg. ............ 1e.sl8 +
Combined opposition ......... 1886
Further analysis of the freeholder
vote is rather complicated, as the No
Boss League only htld two candidates
for three nominations, and by the fact
that there were two candidates not
attached to either the No Boss
League, "Anti-Dar or organization.
rrhe average vote received by the va
rious combinations indicates just as
plainly as the analysis of the Assem-
bly, and freeholder votes, however,
that the sentiment against the or
ganization predominated.
In the city of Newark Thomas w.
Smith was high man for the regular
Republican freeholder nomination.
The organization vote on freeholder
in Newark showed up better than did
the organization vote here for register
and for some of the Assembly noTni-
nations. The record follows:
Thomas w. Smith, Reg. 7,o15
Highest Oppor ents ......,.... 6,812
For the Board of Works the highest
organization candidates ran below the
highest men on the opposition tickets.
The vote follows
Thomas j. Smith, ReR......... 5,SH
Highest opponents ........... 1858
Theodore S. Fettinger. as the only
candidate of the Wilson League,
polled 2,4S5 votes. DIR. Charles F.
Kraemer was b,133 votes higher. Dr.
Kraemer was within seven votes of
1000 below his running mate, former
Sheriff John r. Monahan.
The supporters of Commissioner
Charles P. Gillen, Independent Demo-
cratic candidate for reelection, at
tribute DIR. Kraemer's falling so far
below Mr. Monahan to dissatisfaction
with Mr. Gillen's rundown by the or
xanization. This dissatisfaction was
directed more at DR.. Kraemer than
at ex-Sheriff Monahan, due probably
TO the differences in the Board or
Works between DIR. Kraemer and Mr..
Gillen during the formers incum-
bency there.
The effect of the election upon
Mayor Thomas L. Raymond's future
hopes is of considerable interest. That
he staked more than present honors
and prestige upon his fight to unseat
County Counsel Dalrymple is con-
ceded The strong anti sentiment
that was brought out keeps the
mayor's defeat from being as pro-
nounced as would otherwise be the
case. but at the same time it is ad-
mitted by the mayors friends that
the organization has now been en-
couraged to such an extent that 1t will
likely commence Immediately to de-
stroy the mayors prospects of secur-
ing q denomination.
