The name of Mayor Hylan was coupled

the same sentiment in the upstate
cities. The many good Democrats sus-
gested by their friends as candidates do
not fit the conditions this year"
The Mayor said this year the people
would stand with any candidate who
would serve their interests.
Let those who wish to stand by the
corporations regardless OF party come
out So they. can be placed In a class
where they belong-against the peoples
interests" he declared. whenever a
man is mentioned for Governor or a like
high office. as Mr.. Hearst has been
mentioned, man who sympathzes with
the people, then you see the public utility
corporation controlled press squirm.
There are thousands Of Republicans and
Democrats who want the State govern

and not the corporations"
Politicians watching the progress OF
the Hearst boom were interested to learn

THE Prosecutor has called to my at
tention that in the recent election in the
city Of Orange there was a registration
of $500 and there were more than 500
challenges; that In $50 cases no applica-
tion was made to vote that in eighty
five cases application was made to
vote and upon the applications being
challenged they chose not to vote; that
in seventy cases challenged the appli-
cants voted. giving an apparently good
reason for their names being on the
challenge list.
I'm the remaining eighty cases where
the challenged voter voted his right to
vote is under investigation by the Prose-
cutor. 1t seems to the court that this
is situation for investigation to de-
termine whether the election laws of
the county have been violated; to estab-
1ish whether men and women registered
who were not entitled to do so by reason
of non-residence or for some other
reason. and to determine whether men
and women voted who were not entitled
so to do and IL they SO registered and
voted"

President Harding lef 1t be known
to-day that his Endorsement OF Senator
Joseph S. Frelinghuysen (New Jersey

Mr. Harding. however, does not re-
linquish the right to take such action as
he deems proper. as in the case of Sena-
tor Frelinghuysen In that instance he
feels the action was warranted.
Since making his speech in New Jer-
sey last Friday various members of the
senate and House have made 1t plain
to Mr.. Harding that they would like to
get similar help from him in their con-
tests. 1t is because of these overtures
