BY GEORGE H. n n


WASHINGTON, June 14-sena-
tor Joseph s. Frelinghuysen is ex-
Eecting to next week make the first
OF a series of hand shaking visits
TO New Jersey as a part Of his cam
paign for reelection. No speeches
will be made but he will go about
quietly meeting the party leaders,
business men and the ordinary folks
to make and renew their acauaint-
ances and put in a few words re-
garding his candidacy.
He Is bubbling over with conf
dence regarding his reelection and
believes hal he will win in Novem-
Der by approximately 10000 votes.
Il bucked the machine six years
ago and won by 10000" Senator
Frelinghuysen said today, and with
the women voting now even IL the
politicians are not for me 1 expect
to win this year by 100000"
Senator Frelinghuysen Is placing
Great dependence on the votes
CT the women and the
"drys' and believes that the support
of these two groups will be sufi-
Gent to overwhelm the opposition of
the various other disgruntled fac
IONS.
Since his appointment several
weeks ago Of Congressman Francis
i. Patterson of Camden as his cam
paign manager, Senator Frelinghuy-
sen has placed both himself and his
campaign entirely in P~atterson's
charge. Patterson is a shrewd,
smooth, experienced politician, great
at organizing and placating dis
gruntled factions.
Patterson was quick to size up the
weak points in Frelinghuysen's can
didacy and is getting right down to
work to build up his strength.
His first important discovery was
that because the congressman are
lukewarm in their support of FIRE.
linghuysen and the politicians for
the most part are opposed to him
it will be necessary to build up a
political organization right from the
ground. He found that while FIRE.
linghuysen has been playing to the
"drys," the women's organizations,
the "big business" men and the re-
formers of all varies he has exhibit
ed woeful lack of political a
gacity by failing to give the proper
recognition to the politicians, has
neglected to satisfy them regarding
jobs and is almost entirely out Of
touch with the men who will go out
and round UP the voters and bring
them to the polls prepared to mark
t. cir ballots for Frelinghuysen.
Frelinghuysen's contemplated Wis
It to New Jersey next week is to get
in touch with the politicians whom
he has neglected, but whose assist

Mr.. Patterson is hoping that the
senator will be able to extend his
visit into the following week.
There will be no spec mes M
Patterson says until after the pri
mary nomination, because he be-
lieves the time is ample for speech
making after that and because he
wants the senator to conserve his
strength for some vigorous stumping
in the closing weeks and days of the
campaign, right before election day.
AS Mr.. Patterson has d~iagnoced
the situation he thinks Frelinghuy-
ser is a high-class. influential, force
full. clear sighted. able legislator
who puts his service to the people
and the state on such a high plane
that he neglects the politicians and
drives away their support.
So the program for Frelinghuysen
in New Jersey next week is for Pat
terson to get in touch with the
party leaders in a community and
have them round up all the workers
within reach to come around and
hand shake and talk things over
with Frelinghuysen. If they are dis
~gruntled about failure to get jobs
or because of any other matters it
is expected they will mention 1t then
and there and hat things, within
the bounds of reason, will be fixed
up to their satisfaction. 1t is the
expectation that following these
visits the organizations will get
right down to work lining up the
voters for Frelinghuysen. Mr.. Pat
terson expects to accompany the
senator, will be in charge of all the
arrangements and will be on hand to
introduce him all around.
The campaign manager is hoping
that things will be shaped in the
senate so that the bonus bill will be
out Of the way and Frelinghuysen
will be able to get away and into
New Jersey about June 10, to re-
main the greater part of the balance |
of the month. The points to be Wis.,
tied have not yet been fixed, but are
dependent upon reports from men
now in the field as to where the
political fences are the most in need
