Fusion Battle


in favor of short sharp campaign
for the Mayoralty nominee, with few
speeches of moment until after regis
tration, which covers five days, October
1915. Mr.. Curran said last night that
he probably would make no extended
speaking campaign until after rcgistra-
ton. He said that the, interim would
be occupied with breaking the ground,
assembling the large calibre ammuni-
ton for a snappy three or four weeks
fort to get out 100 per cent registra-
ton.
A chance for all anti-Tammanv
groups to be actively represented in
the campaign will be given when the
Curran headquarters is moved from the
Hotel Hermitage to the Murray Hill
Hotel tomorrow or Friday. Each
group is expected to have an Office
for it's individual work, but all will
coordinate under the leadership of
Secretary of State Lyons as the head
of the Curran campaign forces. Sen
ator Lockwood and Mr.. Gilroy are ex-
-
within the Curran headquarters. All
of the various leaders are said to agree
that centralized dictatorship will be
the most effective, while all will work
in unity to further the general cause.

Chief Interest in Essex
County; Powell for House

TRENTON, N. j., Sept. 27.--State-
wide primaries were held in New Jer-
sey to-day. There were few contests
and voting was phcnomenally light. 1t
was an "off year" for balloting and
the voters went at it listlcssly, as they
always do when only members of the
Legislature are to be elected and few
state issues exist to excite contro-
versy.
Early returns indicated a victory for
Clifford Powell in the three-co rnered
fight in Burlington County for the Re-
publican nomination to the Assembly.
Reports from all sections OF the coun-
ty showed Powell in the lead The
other Republican candidates were DR..
Robert c. GLASGOW and Howard Jarrett
The Democrats had no candidate.
For State Senator Emmor Roberts,
Republican, and Ralph Hanes, Demo
crat. were nomina ted without opposi-
ton.
The most interesting fight in Essex
County was between Mrs. Edith Pot
ter Cooke and Mrs. Helen D. Brown,
both seeking the nomination for com
mitteemen from the Fourth Election
District in Caldwell. Mrs Brown, re-
garded as an insHrgent, was heavi V
supported by the women. Friends OF
Mrs. Brown were claiming her nomina
ton last night. In the rest of Essex
County there was only one contest on
the Republican ticket, that between
Lewis Bowden, present incumbent of
the Office of County Superintendent,
and John L. Reid Bowden was said
late last night to have a safe margin
over his opponent.
Twelve assemblymcn and three free
holders were nominated by both the
Republicans and Democrats. There
were no contests for the Democratic
Offices The voting was the lghtest
known in years.
Mercer County Republicans appar-
entity have nominated woman for the
Assembly. The Republican Assembly
ticket probably will be Mrs Bessie r.
Mann, former nurse; William A.
Moore, former Assemblvman who
served overseas in the war, and As
scmblyman George w. Guthrie, labor
leader. The Democratic Assembly
ticket will be Edward J. Hayden Lin
ton S. Marshall and Richard Stock.

The primaries in jersey City were

icaI Address

PORTAGE LA PRAIRIE, Manitoba
Sept. PA protective tariff to safe
guard Canadas industries in world
wide competition was made a political
issue tonight by Premier Arthur
Meighen in an address formally open
ing his election campaign.
He declared any nation that believed
it could compete with another country
enjoying protection while its own bar
riers we're down was spurning the
lessons of 200 years.
The Prime Minister emphasized the
proximity Of the United States with it's
great industrial development, assert
ing that the entire world was protec
tive. and that even Great Britain had
adopted laws that constituted protec-
ION of the most effective kind. He de-
clared, however, that he did not be-
lleve, nor had he ever believed, in a
high protective tariff. Such q measure.
he said, would be unfair to the West
and the other sections of the country.
