JSITTKrt BATTLES FOIt NOMINATIONS
The moat bitter fight has been between
United States Senator James 1! Martina
and Attornay General John V.. Weacott
for the Democratic nomination for United
Statu Senator,
It la understood that Martlne will have
the opposition of the Wilson Democrats,
who are said ta favor Weacott, the man
who hae twice placed Mr. Wilson In nomi
nation for the prealdency. This fact alone
Is counted on by Weicott's friends to set
i htm a large number of Domocratla votes.
DesplU this opposition, Martins has put
tip a strenuous battle for rcnomlnntlon and
he In said to huva a strong following, par
ticularly those Democrats who havo found
things to criticise In the Wilson Adminis
tration. Martina's Independence from Wilson's
nils hae won him friends and enemies alike.
Ito has declared, it Is said, that he would
rather return to hla (arm In Union County
than take his ordora from the White House,
Fault Is found with him because he has
not been obedient to the crack of the Wil
son whlo., Congressman Scully's emphatic
Indorsement of MaTtine has 'helped him
considerably and has made a division among
the Wilson men. Martins Is picked to beat
ut Weacott.
DEMOCRATIC RACKS
Two other Democrats in the United States
enatorlal racs are Frank M. McDermott,
of Newark, a. lawyer, and August llrugge
toann, of, lloboaen.
The United States Senatorial contest on
the Republican aide Is confined to former
Oovernor Franklin Murphy, of Essex, and
former Senator Joseph S. Frelinghuysen, of
Somerset. Reports from North Jorsey de
clare that Murphy will win, but it is known
that Colonel Frelinghuysen has a, strong
following? In the rural communities and
email towns and it remains to be cen to
what extent their votes will count, Tho
Interest Colonel Frelinghuysen has taken
in educational and agricultural matters In
the State haa enlisted (or him many friends.
and It la believed he will make a strong
showing.
THREE-CORNERED STRUGGLE
The three-cornered fight among Senator
Walter K. Edge, of Atlantic: Senator Aus
ten Colgate, of Essex, and G,eorge L. Ilec
' erd of Hudson, for the Republican guber
natorial nomination haa been one of the
most Interesting; of the campaign. It has
been a hard-fought and clean battle, but
Record's chances of landing are considered
slim. He has declared for local option and
It is expected ho wlli get many votes on
this lesue. Edge is declared to be ve.-y
popular In North Jersey desplto the fact
that he Is a South Jerseyman. It Is being
predicted here that Edge will nun excep
tionally well In Hudson, Passaic and In
Essex, outslds of Newark.
II. Otto Wlttpenn, of Hudson County,
naval officer of New York, Is the sole can
didate on the Democratic primary ticket
for tha gubernatorial nomination.

to tho infirmities of age.
Colonel May'0 death closes a career nt
once picturesque and pathetic. Apart from
Ills noted ancestry, there were Incidents In
Ills own life that brought him Into intimate
contact with Abraham Lincoln, Henry W,
Longfellow, Admiral Cerera and other
noted personages. In his early days he
had been a law partner of Kdwnrd D. White,
now Chief Justice' of the United States Su
preme Court, and although his latter years
were passed In a proud penury, he had ao
qulred and dissipated two fortunes, and
might have enjoyed more comfort than that
afforded by a Government pension, but ha
scorned to ask aid from relatives In a
manner that would rendwer him dependent
Colonel May was born in Illinois, and his
father defeated Abraham Lincoln for Con
gress. The son was sent to Harvard Uni
versity and Law School, graduating from
both Institutions with honors. The poet'
Longfellow was his preceptor In English
during this period.
With the outbreak of Uie Civil War,
which found him practicing law In Wash
ington, Colonel May offered his services to
President Lincoln In person. Tho President,
recognising his farmer neighbor In the
young attorney, wrote the following memo
randum on a card, which Colonel May aft
erward treasured as a sacred souvenir: ,
"Dear Stanton Appoint my young friend
a captain. A. LINCOLN."
Without waiting for the Secretary of War
to comply with this request, May organ
ized a company of volunteerr and went to
the front. Ho returned In command of a
regiment after serving throughout the war.
Colonel May during his residence In
Washington fell In with many attaches of
tho various foreign legations, among the
latter being the future Spanish admiral,
Cervera, whom ho Instructed In Englleh.
Trior to coming to Camden several years
ago Colonel May resided In Indiana and
served In the Legislature of that State. He
was a Democrat and, although at one time
wealthy, had no known means of support
except a smalt pension. He made his home
at the Colonnade Hotel, Second and Market
Btreets, until August IS last, when he was
stricken on the street 4nd was removed to
the hospital where ho ujed today. He never
spoke of his family connections, and the
hospital authorities do pot know whether
the old man leaves any near relatives or
not.
Members of Post 37, C A, R., to which
Colonel May belonged, are striving tp ar
range proper, burial for the veteran, who
for years had been one of the moat pic
turesque figures In Camden.
"VERY WEAK," SAYS WILLCOX
OF WILSON'S 8-HOUR DEFENSE
Contains Contradictions, He Asserts,
Wannmaker Sees Chairman
NKW YORK, Sept. SS. William R. Will
cox, chairman of the Republican National
Committee, today declared "as very weak
Indeed" the speech delivered Saturday by
President Wilson at Shadow Lawn, N. J.
"I haven't time tq go Into a detailed dis
cussion of the President's address," he as
serted, "but In Its very face the speech
lacked conviction; It was weak aa regards
a defease of the eight-hour bill. Those who
have anaylsed It have found that .the speech
contains contradictions."
John Wanamaker conferred with the
chairman this afternoon. It was an In
formal discussion,
Mr, Wllluox said the advisory committee
of the national committee would meet
about October 10, probably In Chicago, to
prepare the final plans for the campaign.

VENIZEL0S REACHES
SALONICA; MAY HEAD
. GREEK REVOLUTION
Pro-Ally Ex-Premier , Likely to
Be Chief of Provisional
Government of
Crete
INSURGENTS WIN ISLAND
LONDON, Sept. 25. Ex-Prcmlcr
Vcnixelos has cone to Salonica, said an
Athens dispatch to the Evening News
this afternoon.
DERL1N, Sept. 25. The Lokal Anzcl-Rer-
reports that Vcnixelos has reached
Salonica.
ATHENB, Sept J5.
Thirty thousand Insurgents now control
the Island of Crete, following the occupa
tion of Canea and Ileracllon Only eleven
of King Constantlne's Cretan bodyguard re
mained loyal, the rest surrendering to the
Insurgents without a struggle.
The capture of Canea, capital of Crete,
by the revolutionary forces, was accom
plished without bloodshed, according to ad
vices received litre, A force of several thou
sand Insurgents surrounded -the city, and
the soldiers In the garrison with few ex
ceptions joined the revolutionists.
Canea fell a few hours after the capture
of Candla, the largest city of the Island.
Creek newspapers, especially those sup
porting formr Premier Venlselos, are de
manding drastic measu'-cs of reprisal
against Bulgaria for the capture of Creek
soldiers and the violation of Creek territory,
which the German allies had promised to
respect. (
"With tho capture of Candla the domina
tion of Crete by the revolutionaries Is now
complete and there are reports that Venl
selos, who la a Cretan by birth, may be
callid upon to head a Cretan provisional
government.
Despite the formatlop of a new antl
Vcnlxelos party, pressuro upon King Con
stantino Is growing to compel tho entry of
Greece In the war, on tho side of the Allies.
The situation In Crete is expected to have
a strong determining Influence upon the
King, although it may be some lime before
a declslvo step is taken.
The capture of the Island of Crete marks
the successful consummation of the eleventh
revolution the Island has witnessed during
tho last hundred years. The same men who
led the revolt of 1907 were at ths head of
the present uprising.
Venlzelos's trip to Salonica may be of the
greatest significance In view of reports that
lie is preparing to head a revolution In
Greece. Salonica has beon the center of the
revolutionary activities as well as tho head
quarters of the Allies, whose cause Venl
zetos favored.
