Women's Vote Issue

NEWARK, Sept. 26 (By The AS
pected to be the deciding factor in
the Republican primaries in New
Jersey today.
Senator Joseph S. Frelinghuysen,
close political and personal friend
oe President Harding, running in the
direct primary for denomination, Is
faced with bitter enemy and strong
opponent in George l.. Record, Jer-
sey City lawyer, who has fought him
in every corner OF the state.
Leaders in the Republican party
say frankly that Mr.. Frelinghuysen
is in a real fight and they predict
that a big vote by the women. polled
early, will go long distance to-
ward determining the result.
War between Frelinghuysen aod
Record was declared early in the
campaign. Record had an autono-
bile truck and went to the villages.
He preached the "curbing of monop-
o.ies." He attacked Frelinghuysen's
record in the senate, waging bitter
| battle wherever he went.
| Senator Frelinghuysen also has
has made an active campaign fravel-
| ing by touring car or train. HIS
meetings were not on street corners,
but in halls. He spoke to the masses
| but only such of them as could get
into the buildings, while Record was
calling everyone to gather in front
| of the general stores or at cross
town streets.
There have been bitter fights in
| the party before but politicians say
| today's fight has aroused more teei-
| ing than any previous contest.
| nannnnr under the leadership OIL
Mayor Hague, of Jersey City. faced
no real contest. Governor Edward
|. Edwards is unopposed for the
senatorial nomination. Judge George
| S. Silzer is a candidate for nomlna-
| tion for governor and he also IS
| unopposed.
Joseph e. Stricken, prosecutor OF
| MiddleseX county, in which New
Brunswick is the county seat, is the
! campaign manager for SilZer ana
| the Democrats fear that Middlesex
may see in the Hall-Mills murder
mystery repetition of the Ward
case in Westchester county, N. y.
where a political machine was bad
| ly wrecked because county authorl-
| ties could not solve the mystery.
For this reason and the lack of
rea, contests light Democratic vote
The Republicans will name State
Senator William N. Runyon the par
| ty's candidate for governor.
State Banking Commissioner Will
liam e. Tuttle was an early Handl-
date against Judge Silzer on the
Democratic side, but retired because
of illness. 1t is believed probable
that Tuttle will pull some votes to-
day. but not enough to influence the
| result.
Both sides expect a fairly heavy
vote in Newark and Jersey City
which are hotbeds of state politics
But leaders everywhere say that the
heaviest vote will be Republican and
that it will be mostly confined to the
senatorial scrap.
Several contests in the congress
sional field in both parties are ex-
pected to add to the general bitter
ness at the polls.
In the first district Representative
| Frank F. Patterson, of Camden, Re-
publican. opposes Herman Wilkin-
sky of the same city. Stan T. West
colt. of Collingswood will get the
| Democratic nomination
There are no contests in the sec
ond and third districts. but in the
| fourth Charles Browne of Princeton
/ and Stephen B. Ayres of North
