recognized leader of Middlesex coun-
ty, Barney Cannon. 1t is a well
known fact in Democratic circles
that Cannon and Judge DAILY have
vet many political differences to set
tie, and for hat reason 1t is pointed
out, the appointment of the Middle
sex county judge to the circuit court
which in itself would make no diff
ference in that county-would give
Cannon an opportunity to place
whoever he pleased at the head of
the county court, and would elimi-
nate possible future sources of fric-
ticn.
Passaic Lacks Recognition
BY a test of comparison, however,
Democrats here are asking If the
support of Middlesex county and
Barney Cannon, and especially in
face of the fact that Judge Silzer
himself halls from Middlesex, is as
important to the party as the united
support of Passaic county. 1t has
been known for some time that erup~
tions are apt to occur in party cir
cle5 in Passaic county. due, 1t is
said, to the apparent lack of recog-
milton of the Passaic State commit
teeman, DIR. James Mcbride. Will
liam p. Gourley, veteran Passaic
leader, has taken up the gauntlet In
behalf of DIR. Mcbride. The wisdom
of a diplomatic appointment in that
county is therefore being given con-
sideration. On the other hand. the
fact that Judge Silzer first made
known his intention to enter the
gu%bernatorial race and stated his
in a letter to Judge DAILY
is not being lost sight of.
Assistant United States District
Attorney Pearse, say Union county
is one of the few mem
bers of that party held over by the
Republican administration and in
of his evident illness for the
Court bench, they say he
must be considered as a strong con-
tender. Judge Cleary is also being
doomed for the position on the
grounds of his ability.
IL would be useless and some
Democrats have gone so far as TO
say bad politics'-to as much as
consider an aspirant from Union
DR. Hudson counties, while Demo-
cratic politics in Essex is said to be
once again sailing on an even keel.

Lehigh Shipment Report

NEW YORK. Sept. 15:-One
thousand carloads Of anthracite coal
have been carried by the Lehigh
Valley railroad this week for con-
sumption in the metropolitan dis
trict, officials Of the road reported
today.
The shipment included ia cars
Monday, 1870 Tuesday, $50 Wednes-
| day and 346 Thursday. The entire
shipment was distributed by Fuel
| Administrator Woodim.
In commenting upon the meeting
and it's outcome, Mayor Wilson said
he was greatly impressed by the
sincerity of purpose shown by the
coal dealers and felt assured that
the interests Of everyone alike would
be looked out for during the pres
ent coal shortage.
1t was brought out by dealers
at the meeting that a car of coal
will now supply forty or fifty Gus
toners instead of being sold to three
or four, as was the custom when
the supply was sufficiently large.
the intention Of the dealers is to SEE
that a thin film of coal is placed
throughout the city, with no families
being without and non with an ex-
cess amount on hand.
The dealers will also keep in
touch with n another in order tc
prevent any resident from placing
orders with several dealers in an eff
fort to stock up a sufficiently large
store of Goa to see him through the
winter. Reports last night showed
that some of the dealers r being
requested for coal by new customers
and that their names will be checked
up in order to prevent their being
served by dealers and thus getting
more than their share.
The domestic consumption In
Perth Amboy OF hard coal during
one winter under normal supply
conditions Is about $4,000 tons. II
was pointed out. Perth Amboy can
not hope to secure more than one
half of this amount OF anthracite
this winter, which will mean tina
bituminous coal must be ~resorte6
to. This soft coal. dealers pointed
out, is cheaper than anthracite, will
give just as much heat and answer
the purpose.
Practically no anthracite coal will
be shipped to the lake region o.
western states, it was reported. tn,
eastern part of the country getting
the entire anthracite supply while
the other sections must get along
with bituminous coal.
