In the Lower House the Republicans
now have forty and the Democrats
twenty. The Republicans expect to
hold the present majority and In all
probability to increase 1t. They say
that in the various counties their tick
cts are especially strong while their
opponents cannot validity make the
same assertion and have not the vim
in their campaign the Republicans are
showing everywhere.
The Republican State leaders and
county chairmen are predicting success
for their Assembly tickets in Atlantic,
Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cum
berland, Essex, Gloucester, Mercer,
Morris, Ocean, Passaic, Salem, Somer-
set and Union, with Bergen doubtful
and a hope in Monmouth and Middle
sex. This would leave to the Demo
Gratis their rock-ribbed strongholds of
Hudson, Hunterdon, Sussex and War
rem as the only counties in which they
are justly entitled to positive claims.
Have Proof of Fraud.
"When the final registration of voters
is completed next Tuesday, there will
be something doing of more than ordi-
nary interest in Hudson County, said
Mr.. Bugbee. "As l have said before,
we have absolute knowledge of heavy
padding of the registration lists in GER
tain districts and we propose to get
after those who are responsible for it,
Copies of all the Hudson County lists
to date are In our possession, and we
are taking our own means to check up
every name. The same course will be
followed with the names added this
week. We shall be ready to take be
fore the court all the evidence we OBJ.
tain of illegal registration and every
person we may find to be involved in
Illegal practices. We don't intend to
wait until the eleventh hour to do this,
but will act Immediately upon obtain
ing the evidence. The State committee
recently made the necessary %appropria-
ton for the work and u men have
been busy, reports to the contrary not
withstanding.
Republican Progress In Hudson.
1.-THE situation in Hudson County is
decidedly encouraging to the Repub-
licans. A plan has been worked out
by which the best efforts Of the men
who were at loggerheads before the
primaries are being exerted for the
benefit of the whole ticket. The forces
Of the Democracy are split In a varie-
~ of ways and will be unable to re-
ante in any kind of workable and eff
fective shape. All this talk of a 3d.
700 Democratic plurality is buncombe.
If the Democrats really believe that
they are going to get anything like
the vote they are predicting they are
going to receive a very d~isagreeable
surprise. Whatever the vote may be,
we shall do everything in our power to
make it legitimate. Given that condi-
ton, we shall be willing to take our
chances.
1--WE have good reason to believe we
shall poll a bigger Republican vote
than ever before in Hudson, and if the
Democrats get through with a margin
of more than 10000 they may consider
themselves lucky, as things look now.
This statement is based upon a knowl
edge of conditions as they actually ex-
lst."
