At KEYPORT
Home Town Goes Against

Council Goes Republican

KEYPORT, Nov. As far as this
borough is concerned the election
here is featured by the defeat Of
Thomas l.. Smith, the mayor of the
borough, in his home town as sher-
iff of Monmouth county. Keyport
voters saw fit to cast their ballots in
the Democratic column with the re-
suit that they gave John IL. Van
Mater, the Democratic candidate, a
lead of twenty eight votes over
Smith. The defeat of Smith in his
own town came as a great surprise
to his supporters here as it was gem
orally believed that he would carry
the borough by a large majority.
The defeat of Smith is the center of
comment in the borough and over
laps all other contests in the cleo
ton.
Unlike Smith. William A, Stevens,
candidate for state senator on the
Republican ticket, received more
votes than any other candidate, his
total being 1927. Smith polled a
total of S64 votes and John II. Van
Mater, his Democratic opponent for
the office of sheriff, a total of S92.
The county vote follows:
Democratic: Ward Kremer for
state senator, go: assembly, Harry
N. johnson, 691, and Leo J. War
wick, CTS; sheriff, John II. Van Ma
ter, S92; freeholders, Glenn l.. Bar
ry, I'll; John NJ. Corlies, 65S; coro-
ners, Henry II. Barkalow. 697.
Republican: William A. Stevens,
state senator. 1,027; assembly, 9I7;
Jacob Campbell, 913; sheriff,
Thomas l.. Smith, S64; freeholders,
Harry G. Borden, 945; William NJ.
Bergen, 944; coroners, Joseph G..
Crime, S45; Otis f. Van Brunt, $50,
and Ernest E. McGill, 904.
The borough ticket split about
fifty-ffty. The Republicans sue
ceeded in electing two councilmen,
while the Democrats captured the
office of collector and assessor. The
vote follows:
Democrats: councilman, G. Morris
Beitton. 7S6; Ferdinand Maag 755.
Collector, Charles r. Davidson,

HOY, N 'ELROY,
KEYES,FELTON
IN WOODBRIDGE
Only One Democrat Wins in
Township ConteSt-Hoy'S
Victory Personal One

WOODBRIDGE, Nov. William
d. Hoy, township committeeman of
the second ward was reelected to
that office by vote of 791, defeat
ing his Democratic opponent. Chris
tian Anderson, who received 500
votes. Leo McElroy, of Woodbridge,
was also reelected township commit
teeman by a vote of S3S as against
ESQ received in the first ward by
j. Barron Levy, his Republican OPP
ponent.
Committeeman Lufbarry was de-
feated by Joseph FELTON,, of Avenel,
by % votes, he having received 574
votes as against Felton's 597.
Andrew Keyes was also reelected
township clerk with a big vote CT
2,227 as against Peter Peterson, who
received a total of 1855 votes.
Committeeman Hoy held his own
i'm the second ward despite the fact
that considerable agitation against
him by certain elements in the town
ship. He won apparently on his
record for years of service in behalf
of the second ward and his election
bv a majority vote of 225 Is looked
upon as a big victory for the candi-
date. In the opinion of Republican
leaders of the township, Mr.. Hoy's
election is a sign of downfall of his
enemies who have been discrediting
him for various unfounded reasons.
The reelection of Andrew Keyes
as township clerk was not a surprise
to his friends. His supporters at no
time believed that Mr.. Keyes would
be defeated and his majority of Ar
votes over Anderson clearly indi-
Gated that he still is the favorite
of the township, no matter how
strong man may have been put to
oppose him.
Leon McElroy has looked after the
interest of the first ward and con-
sequently won the reelection in that
ward, receiving a majority of l5S
votes Committeeman McElrcy is
credited with instigating many I'M
provements in his ward.
Luffbarry's defeat by only 20 votes
came as a big surprise 10 MS friends.
1t was indicated that earlier in the
day he held the lead, but apparently
the close vote and the fight made by
Joseph FELTON, brought about the
election Of the Democratic candidate.
Louis Neuberg, chairman -at-large,
was elected with opposition.
