Eddie Dillon Baks
At Political Signal
Of Big Jim Nugent
By BRIGGS

NEWARK, y. j.. Oct. eddie Dill
lon, one Of the best football players
who ever buckled on :he armor OF
Princeton, is no longer Democratic
nominee for State Senator from Essex
County. He resigned to-day because ne
would not play the game as Jim Nugent,
boss of Essex, decreed he should.
Nugent refused to let any Of the
Democratic nominees in his county run
for Office unless they pledged them
selves TO vote against local option il
elected. Dillon at first acquiesced to
the will Of the boss, rs did most OF the
other candidates. To-day he thought
better of it and placed MS own con-
victions above the sll-powerful will Of
the boss.
When the Democratic convention was
held at Trenton on October 2 to draft a
party platform Dillon spoke in favor OF
a local option plank. Others opposed
it, and as a result the candidates were
left unpledged.
But the idea Of leaving the question
to the discretion of each nominee did
not suit the Gar Of Essex County. On
October 3 he held county committee
meeting in Newark at which he decreed
that all the nominees who were to run
on the Democratic ticket must sign a
pledge 70 vote against local option.
John V. Lsddey, one of the candi-
dates, refused to obey this mandate,
and resigned at once. All the others
accepted the terms dictated by Nugent.
In his letter of resignation sent 20
Charles F. Herr, chairman of the Dem
ocratic Campaign Committee, yester-
day, Mr.. Dillon said:
81 felt that | could not oppose nv
party by running Independently, and,
therefore. at that time. rather than
oppose my personal opinion against
the majority, accepted the decision
of the caucus as representing the SEN
timent of the Democratic party.
81 now realize that | am too much
of a real Democrat TO sacrifice my
principles, even for party expediency.
and run on a PLATFORM TO which | can
not conscientiously adhere. Ny con-
victions, as you and the rest of tho
committee know. have never changed,
and have concluded, after serious de-
Liberation, TO write you now so that
you will have ample time TO select a
substitute whose views on local option
will coincide with the programme al
ready adopted by my colleagues on the
ticket"
Michael j. Quigley, a local lawyer,
has been nominated to take Dillon's
place

New City Ballots
Will Be Sent to
Soldiers Abroad
fspecisi Co-respond-ncel

spsCai CoTrrSpona~rreI
ALBANY, Oct s.-Because Of the
failure to have the name of Magistrate
Corrigan printed on the soldiers bal
lots as an Independent candidate for
District Attorney, a new set will be
prepared for the New York City SOL
diers serving in France. They will be
sent abroad within few days.
Magistrate Corrigan to-day sent a
telegram to Governor Whitman, pro-
testing because of the failure to have
his name On the ballot Secretary OF
State Hugo was notified and immediate
ly got into communication with the
New York City Board Of Elections. lie
was informed that the CoIrigan noml-
mating petition had just been found
1t was admitted by an official OF the
Election Board that the petition had
been filed early but had been mislald.
Mr.. Hugo said that he could not nave
put Corrigan's name on the ballot until
officially notified of the nomination.
He had, however, understood that Cor
rigan was an Independent candidate
and had left a space on the ballot SO
that his name could be written IN
under the head of District Attorney.
The Secretary of State declared that
the report in some New York news
papers that the name of William NJ.
bennett did not appear on the ballot
as the Republican candidate for Mayor,
was a mistake. He said that the court
order, declaring Bennett the Repub-
ncan candidate, had been in his hands
for some time. and that BENEFITS name
was in the first print Of the ballot.
Mayor Mitchel's name appears on
the ballot only as the Fusion candidate,
under the bulls eye emblem. The Sec
retary OF States Office late this after
noon had received no notification OF his
nomination as the City Democracy can
didate. Besides Bennett and Mitchell,
the Mayoralty candidates on the SOL
diers' ballot are John +. Hylsn. ID mo-
crat; Morris Hilquit, Socialist. and
David l.. Colvin, Prohibitionst.
1--WE are going TO give the soldiers
in France" said the Secretary of state,
"the same ballot that will be voted in
New York City, except that it will not
contain the nominations for members
of Assembly, Municipal Court judges
and Aldermen.
"Spaces will be left on the ballots
so that the names of these candidates
can be filed in. All independent noml-
nations. filed with US up 10 late this
afternoon will be on the ballot"
"As to Magistrate Corrigan," added
Mr. Hugo, 81 have been in constant
communication with the Board of Elec-
tons Of New York and have repeatedly
asked for the names of independent
candidates. | asked the board per-
sonally about Corrigan several times
last week and was informed that his
nomination had not been filed. Not
until this morning was ! told that it
had been filed.

Go-Between Tells
Of Taking Gunner
To Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA. Oct. s.-The unex-
pected production on the witness stand
Of Michael j. Sullivan, alleged "go-
between" in the 5th Ward primary
election day row which resulted in
the killing Of policeman, caused a
mild sensation when the hearing OF
Mayor Thomas B. Smith and eight
others on charges of conspiracy to
murder was resumed before Judge
Brown to-day in the Municipal Court.
Sullivan, who admitted that he had
brought eighteen gunner here from
New York for election work. was ar
rested by detectives from the District
Attorneys Office without the knowledge
OF the Detective Bureau. His testi-
mony corroborated that given last week
by Samuel G.. Msloney, manager of the
local branch OF the Val O'Farrell De-
tective Agency, by whom he was en-
ployed as an operative.
Sullivan said the arrangements Cor
the importation of the men were made
in the presence Of Isaac Deutsch, one
Of the principals in the case, who was

Gil, and certain magistrate, who, the
prosecution contends, issued in whole
sale fashion blank warrants for the
arrest on primary election day Of
Carey followers. Maloney, at this
meeting, Sullivan said, gave him 500
TO pay transportation expenses of the
men brought here and remarked in
Deutsch's presence that the money
was to be used in getting the men here
for Mr.. Deutsch."
Sullivan said that Maloney gave him
500 after the row and told him TO

Charles F. Murphy, boss OF Tam
many Hall, was asked yesterday to
comment on the report that he con-
templated retiring as leader OF the
Wiewam until after Election Day. The
report, printed in a morning newspaper
within a day or so, suggested that Mr..
Murphy hoped thus to take the wind
from the sails Of the Fusion opposition

elected to return to power, emulating
the example set by the late Hugh Nc
Laughlin, Of Brooklyn, in a similar
situation.

The most important part Of ones
hunting equipment, outside Of the
fire-arm itself, is footwear.
This is equally true of the mecca
sin-clad trapper clamoring over the
snow-covered northern ridges and
the Nin1rod who treads the fields for
Bob White or def1es the briars for
the cottontail. The most important
consideration Of a hunting shoe, moe
casin or boot is that it must have
plenty Of foot room. The man with
ingrowing toenails, corns or sore feet
loses all pleasure that otherwise
ONE from hunting.
In rabbit hunting ovcr dry ground,
or in bird hunting there is nothing so
good and comfortable as a "roomy'
high leather boot. But over wet
country, in slush and snow this boot
is as bad as it is good in dry wealth
err. There is but one waterproof
hunting hoot-that is of rubber.
In duck hunting a hip-top rubber
hoot is the one best bet. In soft
weather a knce-length rubber boot is
the ticket. In rabbit hunting
through hriars the hip-top rubber
boot under the trousers is the hest
combination. In hunting over light,
dry snow the deer-hide mocassin is
the real thing, as it does not slip on
every rock. and log. as is the case OF
the ordinary "shoe-pack" or cowhid
moccasin. The buckskins are very
light and will stand several pairs OF

self-improvenlent.
Russia's best soil and her most
densely populated provinces are to be
found along the great rivers in the
south and or the %seacosat. The river
Don is 1926 miles long, and is
navigable for nearly 1000 miles; with
it's tributaries it drains a territory OF
1900 0 square miles. The Dnieper
is LOO miles long, is also naviEaole
for nearly 1000 miles and drains a
district Of 242,oO0 square miles. The
Volga. the largest river in Europe
with it's tributaries, the Kama, l.S0O
miles long. and the Okla, 900 miles
long, with innumerable smaller ones,

tributaries the Volga serves a district
