dnd the fact that he is the pro-
nounced head of that IL in TINS
state. SllZer, compared with Ed
wards, is a mild ~protagonist of the
| anti-dry sentiment, and he has a
stronger opponent. In such a sltua-
| ton too, Runyon's personality ana
| acquaintance with the voters ought
to pull him through. On the other
| hand a Frelinghuysen victory Will
assuredly mean a Runyon victory.
Democratic leaders are not being
| buoyed up with false hopes over n
| size of the crowds that greeted
their candidates in certain countles,
| particularly in the southern end OF
the state. They remember the great
| Bryan crowds in years gone by IN
| this state and they remember TOO
what happened to this p~resldentlaI
candidate on election day.
One thing that seems to be con-
| coded by all observers, New Jersey
ia Sd to have a good and inde-
| pendss- G%svsrnoor during the next
three wears. The records of both
Mr.. Runyon and Judge Silzer in this
! respect are plain. Runyon's leg1sla-
tive career while not marAed with
unusual INITIATIVE was characterized
nv answering interest in the Things
he thought for the best. AT times
he voted with opposite party Wneh
he thought his own was taking
wrong course. In the governor chalr
with proper advisors he ought 10
render good service.
Lost in the retirement or Juolclal
atmosphere for some years Judge

senator for six years prior to 1913
has been forgotten to some extent
nv the average citizen. Yet When
If il examined it shows that the
middlesex man has marked con-
structivs ability which as governor
he can employ for he good or an
New Jersey. Those who know MS
record ana temperament would NOT
for an instant imagine that Sllzer
would permit any boss" to dictate

The state senate will continue to
he Republican unless There is a
Democratic sweep of everything.
The House of Assembly viii hlnge
mainly Oh the complexion of the
Essex delegation. If the Democrats
win there with their assembly can
didates they are in a fair way to
control make it very close. A Re
publican assembly delegation from
Essex will most likely give that
party control of the House and
control of the legislature on JOINT
ballot, which will mean the election
of anothe~ Republican state mn
troller next year.
Governor Edwards, candidate for
United states senator in the Demo
cratic party, and Circuit Judge
George S. Silzer, Democratic candl-
date for governor, will sweep n
state next Tuesday with a majority
of not less than 10000, according TO
Harry Heller, Democratic state char
man, with a possibility that their
majority will reach $4,000, as, ac-
cording to Mr.. Heller, sentiment f0r
both candidates is growing daily.
The prediction of the Democratic
state chairman is based upon a STUDY
of conditions il every county of the
state and the Republican Ilaim was
dubbed "preposterous' hat candl-
dates of that party will secure cleo
ton by a $4,000 majority. HUDSON
was said to be prepared to give the
Democratic candidates at least an
n. 600 majority while Essex will De
tailed in the Democratic column
with a 10000 majority at the lowest.
That the Republican maJorltles IN
all the normally Republican u
| ties will be substantially reduced ana
will vanish entirely in some, was
he confident prediction OF MI
Heller.
The supposed admission by Re
nublicans that Mercer county Will
give their candidates a majority OF
onlv 1000 was looked upon by MT
| Heher as a confession of defeat IN
the state, because it was a the con-
| ditions which prompted this dmis
sion were not local to Mercer coun-
ty but general throughout h outf-
ern as well as the northern sectlohs
! of the state. A corresponding re-
duction of majorities in the otner
normally Republican counties Will
