REPUBLICANS
WIN CARTERET;
APPROVE DOCK
Democratic Machinery j
Borough Given Another
Setback at the Polls

CARTERET, Nov. THE Demo
cratic machinery of the borough and
its leaders received another heavy
setback yesterday with the election
of Councilman Frank Andres and his
Republican running mate, Hercules
Ellis, by a considerable majority of
votes. Andres won the reelection
by a vote OF 1,274, while Ellis re-
ceived 1918 votes. the total in the
borough.
Andres received 268 votes in the
first district, 210 votes in the sec
ond, 323 in the third, 1877 votes in
the fourth and ZIG in the fifth dis
trict. Ellis was given 254 votes in
the first, 1877 in the second, 515 in
the third, 1856 in the fourth ADD 26l
votes In the fifth. The two Demo-
cratic candidates, William j. Law
lor and Edward ]. Walsh, were fully
defeated although Lawlor pulled cut
LOLA votes, while Walsh received
only 900 votes.
Mayor Thomas J. Mulvihill and
his Republican aides scored also a
victory on the dock site and the Dor
ough hall referendum. In the hVe
polls of the borough 756 voters favor
the dock site acquisition, while 1853
voters approved for a borough hall.
A total of 600 votes was cast against
the dock project and 63S against
the borough hall.
The election this year was a Bit
ter one. The Democratic party.
which lost control of the borough
administration after holding 1t for
| sixteen years, made an attempt to
gain the control of a majority in
| the council. Charges of extravaganza
| against the Republicans through the
medium of their own house organs
was made consistently. They were
| accused of robbing the people,
squandering their money and the
| Republican candidates were attacked
Numerically. The dock site and bor-
ough hall idea vas denounced at
public meetings and conferences.
When told of the success of his
| Republican candidates, Mayor Null
! vihill said that there was never a
| doubt in his mind as to the success
| of Andres and Ellis in the election
| results. 1--WE worked in the interest
Of our people and they know what
the Republicans have achieved in
one year despite the many handicaps
| from the Democratic side. The peo-
pie of the borough through this vote
have given me more confidence, that
they believe in u earnest and sin
cere efforts for a good and honest
government" the mayor said.
Councilman Frank Andres over
| the telephone this morning said that
he was grateful to the voters for
their confidence in him. II have
served the borough for many yeats
and at this critical time 1 am willing
to continue to give them the best
that is in me. 1 shall work much
harder knowing that the voters ap-
preciate my efforts"
Hercules Ellis, at his home this
morning, said that he was pleased
with the results and said that he
will help Mayor Mulvihill in the up
keep of the best borough govern
ment.

GARRISON IS
NAMED MAYOR
Of METUCHEN
Beats Pierson in Spirited
Cornerstone G. O. P.
Councilman is Named

METUcHEN, Nov. 7.-Frederick
L. Clarkson, the Democratic min
ority on the borough council for the
past few years, was elevated to the
mayoralty yesterday, defeating his
Republican opponent, Aylin Pierson,
by 2S5 votes.
The Democrats also succeeded in
eiecting Robert Willmont to the
council, thereby retaining their min
GRITTY, while Reginald B. Crowell,
who was seeking reelection to the
council, was defeated and his run
ming mate, William p. Liddle, was
chosen as the second councilman
by the voters.
This years election was the most
closely contested one ever witnessed
in the borough, and the Republicans
attribute their partial defeat to a
split that has existed since the pri-
mary fight between Mr.. Pierson and
Councilman Luther Z. Riddle, Jr.
Through the efforts OF both parties
nearly 1900 voters were registered,
which was boo more votes than cast
at the general election last year.
Mr.. Clarkson carried every dis
trict in the borough and received
$50 votes to GOA registered for Mr..
Pierson. Robert Willmont received
the largest vote in the ace for coun-
Gil, sos being credited to him, while
Mr.. Liddle, the second council-elcct,
received 740. Mr.. Crowell, the de-
feated Republican candidate, re-
ceived 1888 and Abraham S. Arnold,
the defeated Democratic candidate,
received $50.
A concerted effort on the part of
the local Democrats to register a
complete victory in Governor Silzer's
home town met with only partial
success as Assemblyman Harold
Hoffman defeated Alfred l.. Ellis,
Democrat, native son by two votes,
and Republican Assemblyman
Thomas L. Hanson won third place.
Frederick Gowen, Republican can
didate for sheriff, carried the town
by a 200 majority over his Demo-
cratic opponent, Anthony j. Geb-
hardt, and Democratic freebooter
candidates, Kalteiseen and Butcher
and Republican freebooter, Orpen,
received the majority of votes for
that office.
