NEWARK, Sept. 27 (By The As
ISOLATED ress):-United States
Senator Joseph Frelinghuysen.
friend of President Harding and
one of the leaders OF the admins
tration in the senate, arer~s's-
mated by the Republicans of New
Jersey yesterday in a sweeping vic
tory over George l.. Record, Jer-
sey City lawyer.
The extent of the landslide in
which Frelinghuysen was renomin-
ated by the Republicans in yester-
days primaries, gave more and more
appearance as returns from the rural
districts came in. With about 200
of the states 2,4S4 voting districts
still to be heard from F'relinghuysen
was leading Record by more than
$4,000 votes.
The figures for 2,242 districts were,
Frelinghuysen, 166,99S; Record, ST.
774. From the very outset Freling-
huysen was never behind and figures
from the missing districts were ex-
pected to swell his majority consid-
erably.
There were two upsets in the Re-
DuDllCan COUBTeSSlOIldl COLllCots
Herbert Taylor was defeated for re-
nomination in the eighth district by
the Rev. Warren p. Coon, and Rep
resentative II. Radcliff, who was de-
feated by George N. Seger in four
cornered fight in the seventh dis
trict. Coon was endorsed by the
Anti-Saloon League but the league
made no recommendation in the
seventh district,
In, Somerset county the complete
vote was. Frelinghuysen, $50; Rec
ord. 1850.
Ocean county complete gave Fre-
lirGhuysen 1925; Record, 1,121.
Sc. ator F'relinghuysen won by
more than 2 to /. He carried twenty
counties without an effort and after
bitter struggle apparently pulled
through in Mercer county by about
1000 votes.
All the returns were not in this
morning but those from 2,054 dis
trcts out of 2,464 gave the senator
146.9S3 votes against 69.922 for
Record These figures gave him a
lead of 77,011. Hudson county with
Jersey Citytf Records home as
stronghold, upset predictions with a
startling smash. 1t failed miserably
to support its son and Frelinghuy-
sen carried the county by almost 3
to l. Newark and Essex county
also went to H'relinghuysen by large
totals.
This morning it seemed certain
that Paterson, Hobolen. Trenton
and Camden were safe in Freling-
huysen's column also.
The vote was even heavier than
was expected. starting rather light
in the early hours of the day. It
increased as the time for closing
came nearer. The vote of the
women was heavy and leaders state
they believe that the effect went far
in it's influence on the vote.
Senator E'relinghuysen made his
campaign on two administration IS
sues-prohibition and the tariff. He
did not discuss the bonus and al
though the campaign was personal
at times he rarely answered charges
made by Record that he was sym
pathetic with the monopolists. He
closed his whirlwind swing through
the state by delivering a radiophone
address of an educational nature.
AS soon as the first vote came IN
it was apparent that Senator Frei-
inghuysen could be beaten only by
a miracle. He piled up a substan
tial lead from early returns ana
picked up more as he went along.
