BONUS and
TUNNEL VOTE
FAVORABLE

While returns are far from COM
plete, there seems. to be not the
slightest doubt that both referendum
voted on yesterday in this state We're
carried by large majorities. The first
question was on the bonding of the
lstate for S2S,000,000 for the con-
struction of the Hudson river tunnel
and the Delaware bridge; the other
was the issuing of bonds not to ex-
ceed s12,O00,O00 for soldiers bon
uses.
1t was expected that both ends of
the state would favor the bridge-tun-
mel proposition, but there was some
doubt as to the central portion OF
the state. Middlesex, however, is
right in the center and in this county
the referendum went across big. Not
q precinct went against 1t. The sue
ress of this proposition means that
Sew Jersey will have a state debt for
the first time in its history.
The soldiers bonus was popular
with all classes because it was felt
that something was coming to the
boys who donned the uniform when
the country needed men. New Jersey
was not to be found tagging behind
when it came to showing gratitude 10
her sons. The bonus means that ev-
cry solder will receive $40 for each
month that he was in the service. but
no soldier will be paid over 500.
1t was a question of a bond issue
or a state tax that confronted the
people in these referendums and they
chose the bond issue by AIN overwhel-
ming majority.

ELECTION BOARDS HAD
BIGGEST JOB IN HISTORY

The election officers serving on
the eighteen boards in this city yes
terday went through an ordeal of
tedious work as seldom is experience
ed by a clerk, due to the great in
crease in the number of ballots cast
with the women voting this year. As
a result of yesterdays election there
Will be at least twelve new polling
places added to the eighteen now es-
tablished here next year.
The election clerks this year had
to contend with not only a record
breaking poll during the day. but
were Handicapped in not having suf-
ficient space in which to handle the
voters. The size of the ballot made
speed impossible and the manner In
which it was drawn up made 1t nee
essary to consume much time in tai
lying, especially where there were
split tickets.
The time taken in unfolding the
ballots and maneuvering with the
bulky tally sheets was considerable.
1t was not until about O'Clock that
the first poll of any size had been
completed. The fourth poll of the
sixth ward where there We're only
about ESQ votes, was the first to re-
port, completing its work about mid
night 1t was not until after 6 o'clock
this morning that a majority of the
boards made their final report.

known dry counties and to some 1t
seemed hopeless from the first for
Dr. Ramsay, when he chose to run
on the wet issue. The women vote
as we'll as the general G.. o. p. trend
is the direct cause of Appleby's cleo
tion.
The figures at hand on the con-
gressional contest at this time, Will
give some idea of the vast vote given
Mr. Appleby by the people of Mon
mouth and Middlesex counties.
Eighty-four districts out of ninety
eight in Monmouth give Mr.. Apple
by lead of 9,714. The exact vote
so far reported in that county being
Appleby 21,269; Ramsay H.. 555. Mr..
Appleby claimed today that Asbury
Park would give him total of 1000
votes over DIR. Ramsay, and he claim
ed Long Branch by the same num-
ber. DIR. Ramsay has not only lost
Middlesex county, but also this city.
Ocean County is reported going to
Mr.. Appleby to 1.
elect. T. Rank Apple
by in a statement to the EVENING
NEWS today said he was grateful
for the result of the election and
wished to thank the voters and es-
pecially the women for their loyalty
to him.
Mr.. Apple5y claimed the district
by 22,500 majority. 1900 being
from Monmouth county, 5000 from
Middlesex county and $500 from
Ocean county. Asbury Park, mis-
home city. gave Mr.. Appleby 1900
majority.

CROWD DEFIES HEAVY rain
TO READ ELECTION RETURNS

Heavy downpour of rain did not
prevent a large crowd from gather
ing in front of the EVENING NEWS
building last night to watch the
election returns as they were flash
ed on the screen. There was much
enthusiasm in spite of the damp
ness, cheers greeting the gains made
by favorite candidates, while groans
would be heard from those who
were keenly disappointed with the
news.
The returns from New York state
were the first to be received as usual,
the polls there closing at 6 o'clock.
These results were so overwhelm-
ingly in favor of Harding and the
Republican ticket that it was plain
almost from the start that an old
fashioned landslide was on. Neither
did the returns from other states
make any difference in the tide. Oc-
casionally a Cox majority would
come through, but it was invariably
from the South and. al that. was
comparatively small vote for that
section.
Before 10 o'clock it was apparent
that the Republican victory was
complete and many of the people
went home out OF the wet. Nothing
from the city had been received
then .hewover, and many who were
interested in the outcome of the To-
cal ticket fingered to read the brief
bulletins that were flashed from
time to time telling of the progress
of the vote in the different wards.
BY midnight it could be seen that
Alderman Wilson was gra dually
pulling ahead in the mayoralty race;
the election of John Sofield, Repub-
lican, in the first ward. was early
conceded, as was the election of
John Clark, Democrat, in the fifth.
although even in that Democratic
stronghold the Republicans made
considerable inroads. The big fight
for alderman was in the third and
there Frank Woglom, the Republi-
can candidate. was running neck
and neck with his Democratic op-
ponent, Thomas Patten. who was a
candidate for reelection.
The sentiment of the crowd could
be gagged by the pictures of the can
cidates as they were shown on the
screen. 1t was plain that it was

FREEHOLD Nov. with eigh-
tyfour districts out of ninety eight
reported, Senator Harding in Mon
mouth county is leading Cox by 12.-
631 majority. The exact vote re-
ported being Harding 25.1 1872; Cox,
10. sol. 1t is expected that this lead
will be greatly increased when the
balance of the election districts are
heard from.
T. Frank Appleby. the Republican
candidate for congress, has carried
the county over his opponent. DIR.
William +. Ramsay up to the pres
ent time by 9,724 votes. This is a

early hour this morning. The Re-
publicans have made clean sweep
in Monmouth and from present in
dications lave not only carried the
president and congressman. but all
the county Offices, including sheriff
and freeholders.
William s. Stevens, the Republi-
can state senator. won over Harry

APPLEbY WINS
) COUNTIES IN
CONGRESS RACE

Although returns on the congress
sional race in the third district,
which comprises Middlesex, Mon
mouth and Ocean counties are still
incomplete enough districts have
been heard from to know that L.
Frank Appleby. of Asbury Park,
Monmouth county, the Republican
candidate, has won a sweeping vic
tory over his opponent, DIR. William
E. Ramsay, of this city.
Monmouth county was the bat
tie ground of the campaign, and Dr.
Ramsay spent most of-his time cam
paigning in that county. Although
Mr.. Appleby did considerable cam
paigning in Monmouth, he covered
the entire district and presented his
cause to the people time and time
again. Seldom Is campaign carried
on as Mr.. Appleby carried on his
campaign 1t was nothing unusual for
him to attend four to six meetings
in one night, making addresses at
each meeting. In connection with this
he also carried on an extensive per-
sonal campaign. One of the most
successful features of his campaign
was the flying squadron" which
toured all sections of the district.
The main issue of the campaign
was the modification of the Volstead
act. DIR. Ramsay coming out openly
for the modification, while Mr.. APP
pleby was am avowed dry. This issue
alone is conceded by many of the
leaders to have been the real cause
of the defeat of DIR. Ramsay. Both
Ocean and Monmouth counties are

aroused state wide interest because
of the prohibition issue which was

TRENTON, Nov. By majori-
ties greater than in any national
election since the Mckinley race in
1896, the Republican tickets of ma
'tion and state yesterday carried
New Jersey with incomplete returns
iI dicating a clean plurality of a
quarter million votes for Harding
ard Coolidge. Out of twelve con-
gressional contests the Republicans
won all but the fourth and twelfth
districts. In the first of these he
race is so close that the result may
not be known until the remainder of
the ballot is counted, while in the
other Charles>A A. O'Brien, Democrat,
was elected by safe margin.
Every county in the state was in
cluded in the Republican victory,
even the heavily Democratic districts
of Essex and Hudson counties.
Although the political complexion
of the state senate remains the same
the lower body of the legislature
added thirteen to its Republican
body.

SOUTH AMBOY, Nov. s-Con-
gressman Thomas J. Scully, Demo-
crat, will be the next mayor of South
Amboy. The final results give Con-
gressman Scully lead over James
w. Hackett of ITS votes. thus assur-
ing his election. The election, from
the time the campaign started was
one OF the hottest ever fought in the
history of the city and so great a
run did Mr.. Hackett make that in
one ward in particular. which Is
known as a Democratic stronghold,
and usually goes 200 Democratic
majority was cut to twenty-six ma
jority.
A feature of the election was the
number of split tickets, there being
but few straight ballots voted. The
fourth ward seemed to be the battle
ground and both parties placed
most of their ecorts in this ward.
At least between ten and fifteen au-
tomobiles were working in this ward
continually. 1t is estimated that at
least fifty machines were employed
in the city between the two parties
in order to get the vote out.

Although the city will have a
Democratic mayor, the council will
be Republican for the first time in
eight years. This was accomplished
through the election of Charles
stockton, the Republican nominee,
as councilman-at-lar over George
A. Kress, Democrat, who is now
serving in that capacity. The cleo
ton of Stockton was no doubt one
of the principal features of the cleo
ton as he is a new venturer in pol
itics and it was not thought that he
could be elected.
Other contests in the council were
between Michael Leonard, Republi-
can, against Thomas Lovely, Demo-
cratic. this contest took place in the
second ward and was won by AIR.
Lovely. Andrew Kvist, Republican,
defeated J. NJ. Willett by good ma
jority.

race for city clerk from Edwin l..

NJ. j. Stanton, Republican council
man from the third ward, was re-

a member of the council for the past
twelve years and the voters again
honored him with the election.
