GOING
FOR REPUBLICANS
At Press Time TUESDAY After
noon) Indications Point to Vic
tory for All Candidates.
SOME CUT.

AS we go to press, the indications
point TO a comparatively heavy vote at
the election that is being staged
throughout the State to-day. In Plea
s%antyille, the Republican organization
workers feel confident of a substantial
majority for all the county and local
candidates. Nehemiah Andrews, for
City Clerk, and Webster Price, for
Tax Collector, are the only two local
candidates being voted for by the city
at large, and as they are without op-
position, their election is a foregone
conclusion. In the first ward, Edward
T. Stephenson, for Council, and Reu-
ben E. Adams. for Assessor, are said
to be running away with their oppo-
nents, their majorities are expected to
be very heavy. In the second ward,
Mortimer Ware, for Council; George
NJ. Bates, for Assessor, and Belleville
Naylor, for Justice of the Peace, will
have easy going, according to organi-
cation workers in that ward. While
parts of the County ticket will proba-
bly, be cut, the workers are optimistic
as to the final result. It is also antici-
pated that the salary ordinance will
receive a favorable majority by the
vnteFs
A heavy vote is anticipated later in
the day. as the polls do not close until
Z o'clock.
1t is a safe prediction that the en-
tire Republican ticket will be elected
to-day, both city and county.

Gently assigned. Arriving at Manas-
quan, the first church they came to
was the very church for which they
were looking. and found the Toms
family at the parsonage waiting to
receive them. They were ~agreeably
surprised TO find such a nice church
and parsonage property. The church
is well equipped for a great work.
There is a full excavation under the
church, and partly finished for social
events. With small outlay of money
it could be made complete for all So
cial activities. The auditorium is very
nice, ~-spiendidly lighted, and newly
carpeted in the aisles. The one lack
is a pipe organ, which would add
greatly TO the appearance Of the
church and the spirit of worship.
The reception was held in the Sun
day School room, and was conducted
by Mr.. f. S. Van Leer, a leading bust
ness mar of Manasquan. Addresses
were made by the Rev. Walter E. Rey-
nolds, of the Baptist Church; Rev.

Church: Rev. Edward Mount, OF the
Methodist Episcopal Church; Rev. J.
c.. Cody, OF the Allenwood NJ. P.

were also several readings, songs, and
instrumental selections. Rev. Toms
was then introduced by Mr.. Van Leer
and spoke briefly of his desires for the
year, and solicited the prayers and
hearty cooperation of the church and
congregation.
The two local ministers were agree
ably surprised TO meet a Mr.. and Mrs.
Newman AT the church. Mrs. Newman
being a sister to Rev. W. f. Pettet, OF
Mount Pleasant Church, and to learn
thar NanasQuan was Rev. Pettets

refreshments. the gathering was dis
missed by the Rev. w. L. Shaw.
