Republican Administration up and down
| the line.
There is also personal element that
has lent an interesting touch. His OPP
ponents have been trying to make po-
Iitical capital from the fact that Senator
Frelinghuysen Is wealthy
| The Senator nipped this right at the
start. He is saying to his audiences
every day:
my opponents are telling you I was
born with a silver spoon In my mouth
and never worked, and therefore am
friendly to the corporations. | admit |
have fine ancestry and I am proud of it.
But let me tell you this. When started
working I didn't have a cent and be-
gan sweeping out a commission house
across the river, and what l have l
! earned. Is the man who works for II
and wins success to be penalized in
] America? And $ for my friendliness to
| the corporations. here is what l have
/ done"
Then he tells Of the fight he made
to get through bill to reduce the price
of coal. He defends his vote for Sena-
tor Newberry and goes over his own and
the Presidents and Congresses achieve
ments. He does not sidestep on any,
thing.
That sort of open and above board
| fighting is telling in the campaign even
| in this early stage. But 1t Is making
| the President an issue. That is further
emphasized by the fact that the Presi-
| dent has been the Senator's guest at
Raritan ,on several occasions. Those
visits have caused some jealousies and
heartburns that may be translated into
political factors. The Senator's open

him much support throughout the State
enough, his friends believe. to offset
! any other weaknesses. He denies that
he has $4,000 wine cellar.
| Five In Congress- Are Dry.
Eleven of the twelve Jerseynlen now
in Congress are Republicans and five
are rated as ''dry." In the First dis
trict Francis F. Patterson. Jr., of Cam
den will be reelected, practically with
out opposition, Mr.. Patterson is wet"
In the Third district, composed of
Monmouth, Middlesex and Ocean-~coun-
ties, Democrats are fighting against T.
Frank Appleby of Asbury Park, who is
dry" Democratic hope of success in
the Third seems to rest upon the NOM
ination of Judge Silzer for Governor.
the idea being that his strength in Mid
dlesex may make possible the election
of strong Democrat from Monmouth.
Elijah c. Hutchinson of Jersey City,
Republican and ultra-dry. is reasonably
sure of reelection because of the over
whelming majority in the Fourth dis
trict. Ernest r. Alderman of Plain
field will also be returned by the Re-
publicans on dry" platform.
In the Sixth district Randolph Per-
kins OF Woodcliff Lake is opposed for
~ ~
Ramsay. former Representative of Hack
ensack Perkins Is dry" and Mr.. Ram
sey is opposing him on a wet" plat
form. Thomas A. Shields of Hacketts-
town is candidate for the Democratic
nomination in the district.
Danclin Looks to BE winner.
Amos Dancliff Of Paterson has an op-
ponent for the Republican nomination
in the Sixth in Peter Rucco of Paterson,
but will be renominated and undoubt-
edly elected. Representative Herbert w.
Taylor Of Newark Is opposed for the
Republican nomination by the Rev.
Warren p. Coon. also of Newark. a
member OF the Assembly. The Rev. Mr..
Coon is running on dry platform.
Richard Wayne Parker of Newark
veteran Representative from the Ninth
district is opposed for the Republican
nomination by Frank z. Davenport Of
East Orange. Mr.. Parker's renomina-
tion is predicted.
Frederick r. Lehlbach of Newark will
have no oposition for denomination on
the Republican ticket In the Tenth dis
trict. Archibald Olpp Of West Hoboken,
Republican, elected in the landslide two
years ago, will be opposed by John E.
Egan, former Representative of Wee
hawken, as the Democratic candidate.
The Democrats expect to regain this dis
trict. Charles F. X. O'Brien of Jersey
City, the only Democrat in the present
delegation. will be reelected without DIFF
ffculty.
1t Is reasonably certain that the
Democrats will carry the Eleventh and
Twelfth districts. There Is possibility
of their gaining one Representative In
the Third and one In the Eighth district
The remaining districts are regarded as
almost certain for the Republicans.
To Elect Seven Senators.
or the seven State Senators to be
elected this year five are now Republi-
cans and two Democrats. or the Re-
publicans William B. Mackay. Jr.. Of
Bergen, Firman NJ. Reeves of Cumber-
land and Harry T. Hagaman Of Ocean
will probably be returned without oppo-
sition. In Atlantic Senator Charles D.
White is opposed for the Republican
nomination by Emerson Richards. In
Morris Senator Arthur Whitney has a
contestant in the person of David Young.
former Assemblyman. The fight there
Is hard Senator Alexander Simpson OF
Hudson, Democrat, will be returned
without opposition, having withdrawn
as a candidate for the United States
Senate.
Senator s. Roy Heath OF this city,
elected two years ago on a "wet" plat
form in a strongly Republican county.
will probably be the Democratic candi-
date In Mercer. He will be opposed by
Assemblyman William II. Blackwell.
Republican, OF this city.
In Essex the Republican organization

Assembly. which Is opposed by the inde-
pendent ticket The organization sprang
