IN STATE POLITICS They are Decidedly Mixed Up This Year--Every-body Now At Sea

Trenton, Aug. 81.—A general review of the complex political situation In this slate reveals a very mixed condition of affairs. There has been no impending election in New Jersey in years in which the outlook was so certain as it is this year. For ten yean past the result has in every case been almost a foregone conclusion. In 1890 the Republicans carried New Jersey for McKinley by 87,and for their assembly ticket by 81,110- The average vote for the members of Assembly affords the true lent of relative party strength from year to year. For the last five years the Republican pluralities have been as follow* on the Assembly ticket:—1902, ,940; 1903, 28,681; 1904, 72,657; 1906, 57,978. and 1900, 1,432. Last year, It will be observed, Ihere as a tremendous falling off in Ihe Republican plurality. This was due lo dissenUons in the party growing oul of the new idea movement, the Senatorial fight, the^lshops law and above all to the intolerable boasism of the LenU machine in Essex in turning down all reform candidates and forcing the nomination for tbe Assembly, for Congress and for Mayor of Newark of

The people rose in revolt againsUhis machine dictation and the Republican in Essex was reduced from 41,667 for assemblyman in 1906 to 26,614 last year, when the Democratic vote was increased from 21,061 in 1905 to 32,684 in 1906. The Democrats, it will be noted, gained 11,623, while the Republicans lost 16,143. There was evidently a large disgusted stay-at-home Republican vote last year, their total vole in the stale being 211,274 in 1906 and only 170,248 in 1906. New Jersey is in the doubtful column so far as tbe Republicans are concerned. Not for 16 years has the outlook been wo gloomy for the dominant part) in tbe stale. With the primaries and the state convention six weeks off there has been no agreement as to a candidate, and no one knows today who will be the nominee of the Republicans for Governor, although there is growing sentiment for Judge Franklin Fort. It is believed that if nominated be would accept the honor. The party is without a real leader, and there does eem to be a strong man among those at the front who can take up the reins and guide the organisation. Governor Blokes’s term is nearly out and he is working to perpetuate himself after he retires. He does not propose to be placed in tbe catacombs where ex-Governors are usually consigned. His hope and ambition is the United BUtesBenatorship held by John i. This will not be vacant until 1911, and there is likely to be many a slip betwixt the cup and the lip before that date rolls around. The primary cause of dissatisfaction i the party arose over an effort made by the Bute House Ring to read Senator Everett Colby out of the party. In 1904 Colby was the floor leader of the House of Assembly. He was*slated for speaker in 1906, but when the time arrived he was brushed aside and J. Boyd Avis, of Gloucester, a protege of Banking Commissioner Watkins, was put in his place. Every effort was made to keep Colby In the background, but he was too strong for his enemies. The young man turned Essex county upside down, elected himself to the Bute Senate in 1906, swept all the county offices into the control of his friends and announced his intention of defeating John F. Dryden for United

He began a fierce campaign against the Public Service Corporation, which controls the trohey, gas and electric service for the whole sUte, and advocated limited franchises for corporations. The people were with Colby,

and his faction of the Republicans, known as the New Idea parly, holds the balance of power in the sutc. Colby was inslrumenUI in compelling Dryden to withdraw form the atorial fight. He has stanch allies in Mayor Fagan and Corporation Counsel Record, of Jersey City. By the way, it is given oul that a combination Dickinson Republicans and Davis Democrats is being formed in Jeraey City with the hope of defeating Fagan for re-election next November. This fact will have its effect on the gubernatorial fight, because the Fagan adherents will trade voles for theirchampion lo the detriment of the Republican nominee. Colby has brought out SherifTFrank Hummer, of Essex county, for Governor. \\ helher Bommer will be kepi -n the field in the event of his not getug ihe regular Republican nomwadou is a quotum. Colby went to Europe immediately after Oommcr became a candidate, and will nol return until die middle of August. T nere has been no dearth of candidates fur the Governorship despite the dark outlook. Most promineni in the list is Justice John Franklin Fort, oi the Hupreme Court. Jusuce Fort would lake the uonrination if it should be tendered lo him, but he wili not make a canvass for iL A number of the leaden favor Justice Fort, hut they are nol commuted to While not telling labs out of school, this is me situation regarding me J udge. Before he went to Europe he called on Governor Blokes, ocualoi Briggs, David Baird, and other leaders and discussed the outlook. I hey all like thejudge and his inrvlew pleased him. Within a week ihe Governor has begun to aay nice mings about the Judge, and Ina foilowen have caught the fever. Last week, when the Governor entertained his Cumberland county neighbors, it was found that they all for J udge F’orl for Governor. If David Baird would say the word, Camden and Glouoeater w ould fall hi also and Atlantic would put on its thinking cap. The Fort boom has about eclipsed that for J us lice Mablon Pitney, which at one lime seemed rather formidable, it is generally conceded mat Henatoi Briggs made an error when he announced that he favored Chand.er W. Riker. While the Senator is not bound to Riker, yet it made him appear an me choice of the Republican State Chairman. It resulted in Colby bringing out F’rank Bommer as a candidate and in effclually spiking Hiker’s guns. There ia a tendency on the part ol the leaders to avoid the nomination ol candidate from Essex or Hudson County for Governor. In the Utter county Judge Collins is discussed. But because of factional fights in those counties it is hoped that a candidate can be found who is free from entanglements. Senator Bradley, of Camden, is spoken of, but he does not desire to get into the row. The Democrats have plenty of material also. Charles C. Black is mentioned, also John W. Backes, the counsel for the Democratic Investigating Committee. Ex-Mayor KaUenbach, of Trenton, U the most likely candidate who has come to the front. He is a vote getter aud was twice elected mayor of his home town His friends declare that he would carry Mercer county by 1600 if he should be nominated. If he should, and Essex, Hudson, Bergen and Passaic give good Democratic majorities, there would be nc question of Ms election. Mr. KaUenbach is earnestly in the fight, but the leaders have not pronounced for anybody. The Republi cans are of opinion that even should they lose the Bute next fall they would carry it in 1908.

Godslralk, who D identified with both tbe Riverton and tbe Cape May Yacht 1 Tubs, carried off tbe first prize Satnrday afternoon in the two chief events of tbe local yacht club’s first open re(stU of tbe season.
