DEMOCRATIC STORM

BALTIMORE. Nd, May 22.-Unless
all pre-convention signs fail the
Democratic state convention here this
evening promises to be as stormy as
was tranquil.
The principal fight will center in
the selection of the delegates to the
national convention in New York and
on whether they shall be chosen by
districts or by u vote of the whole
convention
Gov. Ritchie and his followers are
in favor of the convention naming
the delegates, while a faction of the
party. headed by Mayor Jackson of
Baltimore, want the nominations to
be made by districts.
Women Deaand Recox milton.
The other fight will be made by the
women of the party, who will insist
on the Democrats giving the same
recognition as the Republican party
gave at their state convention last week.
Many leading Democratic women here
believe the leaders will. but others
are inclined to he some what gloomy
over the prospects of getting the four
delegates and four alternates to the
national convention which the wom-
en- want.
Another point TO be settled is
whether the convention will adopt the
unit rule for delegates to the national
convention. Maryland will have six
teen votes at the national convention,
and if the unit is adopted, ma jority
of the delegation will control the
sixteen, votes and they will be cast in
a block.
After d caucus yesterday il was
said that the delegates at large will
be Gov. Ritchie. United States Sena-

That no further delay should be

the opinion expressed by members Of
the Board of Aldermen and the City
Plan Commission at a joint session
held last night in the city hall. Al
though no move was made at this

in the course of the next few weeks
some definite action will be taken In
this matter.

Tells Coolidge He Is Confident

BY GEORGE FL. MANNING
washington Correspondent of the


SIbn lAIAUOy 11tChlns NCWS.J
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-In order
to avoid any confusion in the issues
of the campaign for the Republican
nomination for United States sena-
tor from New Jersey which he and
Hamilton r. Kean of Elizabeth are
now bitterly fighting out, Senator
Walter E. Edge would like to have
the opening of the campaign in New
Jersey for the national ticket put
off until after the state primary on
September 23.
He urged this postponement upon
President Coolidge when he called
at the White House yesterday and
stated that he had also taken the
matter up with William M. Butler.
chairman of the Republican nation
al committee.
Senator Edge told the President
that he had the utmost confidence
of defeating Hamilton Kean very
handily for the nomination and ex-
pressed his firm belief that he will
be reelected over his Democratic
opponent this fall and that New Jer-
sey will be in the Coolidge column
in November.
1.-The Jersey Republicans are ac-
tive and united and will sweep the
state for President Coolidge" said
Senator Edge upon leaving the
White House. "On the other hand
the Democrats are badly split. es-
pecially in Hudson county, their
stronghold. The Hudson county
Democrats including Mayor Hague,
the Democratic state boss, are still
angry because of the defeat of AL
Smith. They will not be reconciled
over the nomination of John w.
Davis and consider the selection of
Charles w. Bryan tvr vice president,
an affront. They seem unable to
recover from their failure to secure
the President or vice presidential
nomination for Governor Silzer.
THE Old Line Democrats
throughout New Jersey think rather
favorably of Davis. but despise
Charles w. Bryan and shudder at
the thought of the possibility that
Bryan may become President II the
election goes into congress. For this
reason many of them intend to vote
for Coolidge. Every day 1 hear DEM
ocrats say they will vote for Cool
idge this year, while others assert
they will not vote at all. The radical

all over the state" replied Senator
Edge.
But yon can spend little your
self can't you: you know it's said
you have million?"
"Oh well, can think of a lot Of
other things I would rather spend
my money for even If I had bunch
of it." replied Edge with a smile.

MiddIeSex Campaign
Started On Both Sides
Democrats at the Meeting
Brown in Race-Many Can

Governors Day for Middlesex
county, which will be held at the
summer capital at Sea Girt, on Au-
gust Is. is expected to mark the
opening of and planning for the real
political contests which will feature
the primary and general election
campaigns in this county. The
Democratic County Committee met
In New Brunswick last night and
the Republican County Committee
will meet In New Brunswick next
Friday night. During the past few
weeks there has been much COM
ment in political circles, but now,
especially after the county meet
ings are held it may be expected
that fur will begin to fly.
The Democratic campaign Is look
ed upon with more than the usual
interest. probably because of the
large number of oiRces vacant this
year and also because County Clerk
Bernard M. Cannon, has not yet
announced that he would not be a
candidate for reelection, except
what he stated during his campaign
when he ran for office several years
ago. 1t Is not likely that any slate
will be prepared at the Sea Girt
event, but there is nttle doubt but
what the happenings on that day
and the talks in little groups about
the lawns will result in a ticket be-
ing announced shorty after.
Although the Democrats seem to
be more or less ''up In the air" at
the present time, the Republicans
are rapidly shaping up their primary
ticket and announcements are being
made by various persons as candi-
dates for county offices.
Morgan f. Larson will be a candi-
date for denomination for state
senator and there is no likelihood
that he will have opposition. On
the other hand. there will probably
be contests for the assembly, one OF
these candidates being Mrs. ]. H.
Thayer Martin, of Woodbridge.
l.. William Hilker, of this city,
was the first to announce his candi-
dacy on the Republican ticket, for
county clerk. Mr.. Hilker will be op-
posed in the primary, however, by
David A. Brown, of Wood bridge, who
last year was a candidate for sheriff.
In a statement issued to the citi-
zens of Middlesex county, Mr.. Brown
asks the support of the voters of
the county, stating that he believes
he is qualified to conduct this office
with the least expense in the best
interests of the people of the county,
and although he has never held a
public Office for pay. points out that
as park commissioner and public
building commissioner at Wood
bridge he has given the people full
value for the amount of money spent.
The statement says that Mr.. Brown
has been requested to enter the con-
test by his many personal friends
throughout the county. Mr.. Brown
has been member of the Republi-
can county committee for a period
of twenty-five years and was vice
chairman for a number of years.
