Perth Amboy evening news., 1921-11-09

Early returns from various parts
of the county indicated the sena-
torial race would be much closer
than it finally turned out to be. as
De Voc was leading Larson in many
of the districts South Amboy, one
of the first places TO complete IT'S
count, gave DeVoe a big vote as did
Sayreville. Plainsboro. another OF
the early reporters, favored DeVoe.
New Brunswick gave DeVoe a 500
majority but Highland Park favored
Larson. giving him a slight margin
of about so votes. Perth Amboy's
1869 majority for Larson helped the
Republican candidate considerably in
esta blishing a safe lead while Wood
bridge also assisted greatly. Mill
/ town, Metuchen and Dunellen re-
turns added to Larson's lead and
few more margins throughout the
county put him beyond the reach or
his opponent.
Assemblymen Edward J. Peterson
and C. RAYMOND Lyons willf be re-
turned to the lower House next year,
and Wilton T. Applegate will accom-
pany them as the third representa-
tive from Middlesex as the result
of yesterdays election. All three are
Republicans. Applegate was hign
each having about 1000 on their
nearest Democratic opponent. Klem-
mer Kalteissen. There was some
doubt for a time as to whether
Lyons or Kalteissen was elected but
the final returns showed the Repub-
Iican leading by about 400 votes.
Daniel w. Clayton, Democrat, will
continue as surrogate, having de-
feated Charles Forfnan by 2,100
votes. Mr.. Clayton drew large
number of Republican votes
throughout the county, being at the
head of his ticket in most instances.
More than 5000 votes separated
John v. Hubbard, of New Bruns-
wick. and William Morgan, of South
River, the respective Republican
and Democratic candidates for coro-
ner. The former won and the result
was not in doubt very long after the
returns started to come in.
Freeholders George Applegate ana
Robert r. Vandenbergh will return
to the county board next year for
another term as the result of the big
vote polled by them yesterday. Their
two Democratic candidates. William
M. Hallahan and Patrick Fallon,
were between 1000 and 5000 votes
behind the successful Republicans.
The makeup OF the Board or free-
holders will not be changed as re-
suit of these elections and the Re-
publicans will continue in control.
James A. Murray, Democratic con-
didate for assembly. and William NJ.
Hallahan, Democratic candidate for
freeholder. both were given Dig
vote in Perth Amboy. their place OF
residence, but this lead was not suf-
fo;apt to Garry them ahead of the
remainder of the ticket in places
where they were not so well known
The same was true of several other
candidates who made excellent
showings in one or two places ana
then lost out heavily in the remain
der of the county.

George Horton, United States consul

Association, was introduced by
Mr.. ]. F. Diggs, and made a clear,
convincing argument in favor of
