If MERCER RESULTS EL SUNS EADERS 1 i Overseas Votorans Noso Out Regulars In State and County Contests FIRTH WINS SHRIEVALTY IlcnJ, whose plurality vnn -10-1. . Trenton, Sept. 80. Complete re tarn from nil dlntrlctn of Mercer county, xrhtch were not nvnllnhle until late- yette rdj because of the delay In anmeratlnir the heavy vote cnuneil by the balloting of women, revcnled several ftrprties In the state and county elec tion. Trobably the greatest upwt which the post-election dope received was In the defeat of William A. Moore, young lawyer nnd overseas veteran, who wn nosed out of the Republican Assembly race by Dr. Clinton H. "Wil liam II. Illnekwrll was the IiIrIi man on the ticket in the county, polling 10,0ii4 votes, nnd Ocorjte W. fluthrie. who also served lu the House last year, finished wcond with a, total of 12.17S. Doctor Head's vote was ll.flSO. white Moore, who was fourth, mustered 11, 28r. The Itrv. James E. Dlvcrty wns a poor fifth with 4500. Several causes have been ascribed by political wiseacres for the defeat of Moore, who at the last election was tho high man on the O. O. P. ticket. One of these is that he was beaten because of hU "wet" stand, which took from him hundreds of women's votes. An other reason seen is his failure to re peat the energetic campaign which had much to do with his success last year. Despite the spectacular campaign waged by his rival, Cnptnln niter Firth won hnndily over Harry Harold, who Is reputed to have spent n large sum of money in his effort to win the Republican nomination for sheriff. Firth, whose financial expenditures were extremely modest, gained a plu rality of more than 2000 in the city and more than held his own In the rural districts. His total vote throughout the county was (18.10. while Harold, who has had a large fleet of automobiles at his disposal since the start of the cam paign, got only 7112 votes. Frank IC. drove wns third with 3122. Soldier Wins Nomination Another surprise wns disclosed in the Republican freeholder contest when Sergeant Jnmcs I luring, nn overseas veteran who was wounded several times in France, landed ns high mnn with n total vote of S.iiOrt. Harlng de veloped strength rapidly within the lust few days nnd one of his cam paign stunts was publication of nn ad vertisement in which prominent party leaders were quoted ns favoring him for the berth. One of those quoted was Newton A. K. Rugbee. state comptroller, who In n statement yes terday sold the use of his name was unauthorized ns lie did not know Hnr ing nnd moreover had not voted for him. Charles Y Harlow, another Re publican worker, nlso stated he had given Harlng no Indorsement. Ulincr Margerum, regarded ns the organiza tion's candidate, nosed out William M. Petit for the county board nomina tion. Mnrgernm's total vote was 7, 173 nnd Fetit's 7,020. Frnncis A. Crnwford. seeking to succeed himself, mustered but B,7l)tt votes. Clayton Kents nnd IMwnrd B. Vnn Note nlso ran. Aside from the congressional fight Konover, . The unexpected victory of Alexnnder I. Herrinn over Charles H. Cole was the only thing of Interest In the Demo cratic freeholder contest. Rcrrlnn received 3052 votes nnd Chnrles II. Relchert wns second with fl"0S. Colo vho ran nhend of both his rlvnls in the countv lost out in the city balloting. Silas R. Rrny. Harold J. Stout nnd William It. Moore nro the Republican nomlnres for coroner, nnd Urny, who was high man, polled the extraordi narily high vote of 11.(521. The Demo erotic nominees nrc John A. Hnrtman, IMwnrd J, Foley nnd Jnmcs J. A, Tnllon, who had no opposition. between Terence Hughes' nnd Mayor Cliorles Ilrowne, of Princeton, there wns little Interest developed- by the Democratic primaries. Organization candidates generally were nominated, but the tremendous vote polled by the Republican candidates, who It Is esti mated gathered two-thirds of the total woman s vote cast, mnkes their chances for success nt the general elec tion extremely doubtful. Farley Is Easy Winner Democratic Interest centered chiefly In the shrievalty fight which Cas won easily by Andrew W. Farley, who had the backing of the county machine. Ills vote wns 4247, while his opponent, IMwnrd M. Reading, gained only 1000. Dr. John A. Connelly, former service man, wns high man on the Assembly ticket, polling 5581 votes.

As compared with the ordinary seasSh It ennnot be said to have been unusual.

Have you ever wondered what supplied the current for the lights ? Storage batteries do. These batteries are charged by an axle generator when the train is in motion. The first car-lighting battery ever made was an Exide Battery. Just as, in the automobile field, the first starting and lighting battery ever made was an Exide. It is hardly an exaggera tion to say that every im portant step in the develop ment of the storage battery since the beginning of the industry has been made by the manufacturers of the Exide Battery. Today, the Exide is used for propelling a majority of the world's submarines under water; for reserve power in nearly all central power and lighting stations of our great cities; for cur rent in the telephone sys tem; for motive power in street trucks and mine locomotives in fact, every industry where de pendable and lasting power is needed. Back of every Exide is the experience and resQurces of the oldest and largest manufacturers in the world of storage bat teries for every purpose. r" -''GLfsa&iadfiraSail ligH M2mmmB2mmBiSBmW-'mmKmm iflHflHH I Ifi.fHBv go.
