LIVELY FIGHTS
ON LEGISLATURE
Assembly and Senatorial Con-
tests In State.
REPUBLICANS EXPECT GAINS

They Say That the Situation In the Va
rious Counties Is Working Out Favor
ably to Their Candidates-Wiii Fer
ret Out Alleged Democratic Frauds
In Hudson.
Newark, Oct. 23.-Senatorial contests
are under way in eight of the twenty
n New Jersey counties. Atlantic.
Ocean, Morris and Mercer now have
Republican representation in the Upper
House, Bergen, Cumberland and Hud-
son are represented by Democrats and
Essex is without a Senator, owing to
the resignation of Austen Colgate
when he was making his primary fight
for the Gubernatorial nomination.
AS the Legislature is now made up,
there are thirteen Republican Senators
and eight Democrats. At Republican
State Headquarters here today Newton
A. X. Bugbee, chairman of the Repub-
ican State Committee, said that in the
next Legislature the Republicans
would positively hold their W in the
Upper House and In all probability
would gain one and perhaps two in adj
dition to what they now have.
Prospects Look Bright.
Atlantic, Mercer, Morris and Ocean
are regarded as certainties in the Re-
publican column. 1t is also confidently
predicted that Cumberland will come
back with a Republican in place Of a
great hopes of electing a Republican in
Bergen, although conditions there are
generally regarded as somewhat prob
lematical.
The situation in Essex is regarded
with distrust by certain Republicans
In the light of the fact that a man of
somewhat radical tendencies, Edmund
B. Osborne. won out at the primary
over the candidate of the county COM
mittee, Assemblyman w. Give Crosby.
Osborne, however, has been officially
Endorsed by the committee, along with
the other party candidates, and those
who are in the best position to Judge
of the situation predict that he will be
carried through with the rousing vote
Essex is sure to give for the Republic
an ticket this Fall.
OF course the Republicans are not
deluding themselves with any false
hopes for Hudson, the banner county
of the Democracy, although the situa-
ton in the Democratic party there is
such that they would not be surprised
to see almost anything happen. 1t is
becoming increasingly evident that
Hudson this year is a greater source of
worry to the Democrats than to the
Republicans.
The Contests For Assembly.
There is also a lively fight in every
county over the election for Assembly

HOMER SINGS "DALILA'
FOR FIRST TINE HERE
Saint-Saens Opera Splendidly
Presented at Metropolitan.

Saint-Saens's Biblical opera, Sam
son ct Dalila," with which the season
at the Metropolitan Opera House was
opened last November, and which dis
appeared from the active list a month
later, after three representations, was
brought forward again last night, with
Nine. Homer N the role OF the woman
whose seductive charms were the IN
doing Of lsrael's hero.
II would be ungallant 20 inquire TOO
curiously into the reasons why the
quasi-novelty from which 20 much was
expected three months ago was again
brought forward at this time, but per-
haps the difference between Oriental
and Occidental conceptions OF female
charms had place IN the equation.
Nobody could have sung Dallas music
more luxuriantly than Nine. Matt
enauer, but Nine. Homer's appearance
gave greater likelihood 20 the drama.
L also helped the rayishing music OF
the vernal cant.cle and dance IN the
first act nightly, where sight and
hearing were somewhat rudely divorced
in the earlier representations.
Il was Nine HOmer'5 first appearance
In the opera in this country, though
she has sung the music often in con-
cert form. and achieved some Of her
earliest and finest successes with her
impersonation IN Europe. No doubt, her
return 10 Mr. Gatti's forces will give
Saint-Saens's work a new lease Of life.
This is fortunate, for il deserves per
nanent place in the local repertory be-
cause Of the opulent and solid beauty
Of its music. despite It's lack Of dra-
matte vitality Al. Of its loneliness was
disclosed at last nights performance,
which was Of the highest order Of ex-
cellence In every department, orchestra
and chorus, under the refined handling
OF Signor Polacco, standing on the eX-
tremely high level occupied by Nine.
Homer, Signor Caruso and Signor
Amato. And there was a pretty and
consistent harmony between the music
and the pictures, which Nine. Homer
did much 20 preserve. Il Z. X.
