$4,000 Voters in Service.

Another factor contributing to the de-
creased primary vote. as compared with
the votes of former years. was the alb
seuce from New Jersey OF some $1,000
men of voting age in the camps scat
tered about the country and on the bat
tlefields OF Europe. The belief was ex-
pressed that not more than 5000 or
1000 soldier votes were polled at the
primary.
The polls opened at 1890 o'clock in
the afternoon and closed at p. NJ.
There are thousands of commuters
doing business in New York and Phila-
deiphia who wouldn't live in any place
on earth other than New Jersey. The
wise ones in the past invariably cast
their ballots in the early morning hours
before catching their trains. to prevent
worrying over the possibility Of not get
ting back in the evening in time to vote.
Many of these citizens who had not
read the official primary election notices
In the advertising columns Of their
home papers did not know until they
reached their polling places that the
revised statutes had changed the hour
of the primary opening from early In the
morning until the middle of the noon
hour. So they ran for their trains and
postponed voting until evening. The
after shutdown and most election boards
had their hands full especially between
7 and 3 o'clock.
President Wilson declined TO take
sides in any way in the interesting con-
test between La Monte. Hennessy. Simp-
son and McDermit for the Democratic
nomination for United States Senator
and nobody was able to speak with any
authority as TO his personal preference.
1t was announced on behalf Of the Presi-
dent early in the campaign that he
made it a practice never to interfere
in a campaign where all the candidates
were equally loyal.
Mr.. Wilson arrived in Princeton. his
home town, shortly after o'clock &c
cast his primary vote. He voted il

where he was greeted with much en-
thusiasm by Il big crowd OF students
who were gathering there for the open
