Senator Ernest R. Ackerman, ol Union County, who, according' to all the rales of fair play, should be tht majority leader of the coming Sen ate, but whom David Baird and certain other of the bosses hare set om to defeat, it fighting mad, and In tends to stay In the contest for tht Republican leadership until the last Senator has voted. When the Union County Senator was asked about tht contest Monday he ^ald: "When I was chosen leader by tht

Certain Influences hare been at work against roe. I am told, tut I think the member; of the Senate are callable of selecting tbeli own officers without the ald.ol outsiders. I am in this light to a finish.'. The Influences which are working against Senator Ackerman are David Baird, who. It Is said, hopes by preventing the selection of Senator Ackerman as majority leader to deliver a blow at the candacy of John Kean for re-election to the United States Senate. Baird, it Is said, hopes that by bringing this about he can then be elected to Succeed Senator Kean as a means of “vindication," for the refusal of Governor Fort to re-ap-point him to the State Board of A* Baird counts on' holding all the South Jersey Senators in line against Senator Ackerman, his choice for the leadership being Harry Leavitt. But in this he is likely to be disappointed. because at least three of the Senators from that section of 4£e State have already pledged themselves to the Union County Senator, it is also probable that two of the newly elected Senators will be for Senator. ^Ackr: enaan. One of them. Professor Prince of Passaic, it.

State Bouse "ring."

Another Influence working against Senator Ackerman Is traced to liquor interests of the state. The defeat of Assemblyman Glnnelly ter re-election in Mercer puts the Assembly slate in the air. Ginnelly was to have been the Speaker of the House, and his failure of re-election tit General Murray,

Senatorial Problem Now Up to Con-

The question of calling a convention to arrange tor an amendment to the Constitution permitting the elccof United States Senators by Bract vote of the people will come squarely before Congress when It venes In December.
