turns frOm.tho presidential primary show
that many Republicans wrote their presi
dential choice on the ballots, notwith
standing that a ruling of the Attornct
Central declared that such a choice coutd
not be Indicated.
Roosevelt and Hughes were the men
named by tho voters, nnd tho Roosevelt
supporters outnumbered those for Hughes
by two to one. No petition had been filed
for any Republican presidential candi

the choice as recorded nnd returned to
municipal clerks for what It might be
worth.
It is estimated that outside of the con
tested districts, In Hudson nnd Essex
Counties nnd the Second district, tnado up
of Atlantic. Burlington, Cumberland and
(-ape Slay Counties, not more than twen
ty per cent, of tho total vote wns polled.
In districts where thero were contests,
and these were nearly all on the Republi
can sldo, tho organization candidates ap
parently won easily.
This means the election of Richard IC.
More, n retired glass manufacturer, of
Brldgeton, and Harry J Knight, of Med-
ford, as Republican delegates from the
Second district.
In Hudson County the Verdon, or reg
ular, candidates were elected by a two-to-ono
vote. In the 9th nnd 10th Districts,
both In Essex County, the unpledged can
didates also won.
