GOVERNOR RACE
To Be HOT ONE
Edwards and Bugbee Nomination
Presdges Battle

BY special Correspondent.
TRENTON, Sept. 25.-One of the
hardest fights for the office of Cover
nor of New Jersey In the history of the
State is looming up in the belief of
close political observers here. The
nomination of Edwards and Bugbee
presages a great battle for support
in November. Both are conceded to
be strong in their respective sections
of the State. but the fact hat Ed
wards comes from North Jersey may
tell in his favor. Much depends up
on the attitude taken by Nugent and
his Democratic followers in Essex. If
Nugent keeps his promise to support
the ticket in November, Edwards
chances for success will be much
brighter. In any event he will need
all Democratic factions to keep Comp
troller Bugbee out of the Executive
Chair.
One of the things which may op-
crate against Bugbee, however, will
be the Independent dry candidacy of
Fillmore Condit, of Essex which would
undoubtedly raw off a percentage of
the Republican dry votes from
Bugbee sufficiently large to help in
his defeat. Bugbee may also be en-
barrassed by the outcome of the Run
o investigation of the Public Utili-
ty Commission. 1t is conceded that
1t is not going to be an Easy task to
throw" the members of this body
out of their places, and failure to do
so will react against the Republicans
and serve to make campaign capital
for Edwards, who is already in the
lead for his issue or this question of
utility regulation. That Bugbee may
nave difficulty in carrying Essex Coun-
ty Is also another element to be con-
sidered in the coming election.
Both Chairman Stokes and Chair
mar Mcdonald today formally called
the State Conventions of their respec-
tive Republican and Democratic par-
ties for this city on Tuesday of next
week, at which time they will draft
the platforms upon which they will go
before the people in November. These
two documents will undoubtedly re-
fleet to a great extent the views of
candidates Bugbee and Edwards and
inasmuch as they are already well
known, 1t would be repetition at this
time to review them.
Celebrate In Mercer.
With an automobile parade and red
fire Mercer County Republicans last
night celebrated the victory OF their
favorite son., Newton A. X. Bugbee,
in the Gubernatorial Republican Pri-
maries of Tuesday. The Comptroller
headed the procession which went
through this city and included all the
candidates for county Offices at the
primary. nominated and defeated.
Blanchard H. White, former Sena-
tor from Burlington county, came
back in the Republican primaries of
Tuesday, and after two straight de-
feats for the nomination, energies
victorious in the third try.
f Thomas p. Fay, "Nugent candidate"
for the Democratic Senatorial nomin-
nation in Monmouth seems to have
been nominated over the organization
man, George Steele, of Eatontown.
Fay lives at Long Branch.
In the opinion of State House OBJ
servers Edwards will have to do bet
ter in his November plurality in Hud-
sol than he did at Tuesdays primar-
les to get the vote his managers have
been predicting for him.
