THE CITIZEN, FRIDAY, JUNE 13, 1913-
WITTPENN LOSES
(N CRUCIAL FIGHT
Candidates Beaten In Jersey
City Election.
VICTORY FOR GOV. FIELDER
Result Plainly Weakens Chances of
Jersey City Mayor For Gubernatorial
Nomination Friends of Governor
Fielder Jubilant Oyer Result.
Jersey City, N. J., Juno 11, Mayor
G. Otto Wlttpenn suffered nn appar
ently complete defeat lu Jersey City's
commlssionerslilp election yestcrdny.
Only one of bis Ave candidates camo
through to a place In tho now form of
government which will go into effect
next Tuesday.
The commissioners elected and their
TOtes were as follows:
Ex-Mayor Mark M. Fagan, Progres
sive Republican, 21,410.
George P. Brensinger, Democrat 10,
010. f
James J. Ferris, Democrat, 18,177.
Street and Water Commissioner
Frank Hague, 17,420.
City Collector A. Harry Mooro, Wltt
penn Democrat, 15,378.
Not only was Mayor n. Otto Wltt
penn's administration wiped out of
power by bis failure to elect two more
of his candidates in addition to City
Collector Moore, tho only successful
Wittpennlte, but Wlttpenn himself, as
tho result of tho work of tho voters,
may have been wiped off tho political
map, so far as his ambition to 'become
tho Democratic candidate for governor
in the fall' is concerned.
The candidates who fell by tho way
sldo and their votes were as follows:'
Thomas J. Stewart, Republican, 13,
rt477. City Treasurer Carl G. A. Schumann,
Wlttpenn Democrat, 12,425.
Ex-Assemblyman Charles P. Olwell,
Wlttpenn Democrat, 12,247.
Ex-Police Judge Joseph F. Farmer.
Wlttpenn Democrat, 11,890
City Clerk John H. Morris, Wlttpenn
Democrat, 10.534.
Election Closely Watched,
Tho eyes of politicians in all parts
of New Jersey were focused on tho
election returns on tho theory that a
victory for tho Wlttpenn .candidates
would strengthen the mayor's chances
of landing tho gubernatorial nomina
tion and that their defeat would Indi
cate that if Wlttpenn couldn't carry
his own town ho surely could not ex
pect Democrats outsido of Hudson
county to rally under 'his standard.
Ono of tho remarkable features of
tho election was tho "coming back" of
Mark M. Fagan, mayor1 of Jersey City
for six years (1002-8), who was defeat
ed for re-election for a fourth term by
.Mayor Wlttpenn in tho ta of 1007.
Wlttpenn also prevented him from
coming back in tho mayoralty election
of 1909. Although Fagan, who is an
undertaker, did not do any campaign
ing, ho led the field of ten by a big
margin.
Mayor Wlttpenn received the returns
lying on a couch in his ofllce In the
city hall. Ho was much disappointed
over tho result, but kept a stiff upper
Hp.
"Tho defeat of our ticket," the may
or said, "was brought about by a com
bination of reactionary Democrats and
tho Republicans. While I regret much
that our ticket didn't go through I am
pleased with tho election of my friend
Moore.
"Tho election will have no effect
whatever upon my gubernatorial can
didacy. I am the only man who Is
fitted to fill Wilson's shoes. I am the
only candidate up to tho present who
stands for Wilson's policies. Now that
the Jersey City election Is over I'll get
busy and hustle for tho nomination for
governor. I feel confident of success."
Secretary Tonnello of tho James F,
Fielder League of New Jersey, which
is devoted to tho interests of acting
Governor James F. Fielder, who Is
WIttpenn's rival for tho nomination as
a Wilson Democrat, was tickled over
What happened to tho Wlttpenn ticket
"The election shows," he said, "that
Governor Fielder, nnd not Wlttpenn,
will get tho gubernatorial nomination."
Former Moyor Fagan, who carried
off tho honors of tho day, said: "I am
much Impressed with tho opportunity
that the commissioners will have for
big work. This certainly was a big day
for Jersey City."
Although commission government ad
vocates, of which Mayor Wlttpenn was
one, had said that tho new form of
government would work for nonpnrU
sanshlp in municipal affairs, tho mayor
and his organization Indorsed Qvo of
tho ninety-one, men in the primary elec
tion of May 13 and inado a vigorous
fight for them after they were nomi
nated. Fight Was Very Bitter.
Tho attitude of tho mayor gave of
fense to many, and tho supposed "non
partisan epntest" developed into a rare
old fight between tho Wlttpenn Demo
prats and the anti-Wlttpenn Democrats
backing Governor Fielder, As thero
.wero only two Republicans among tho
ten candidates voted for yesterday, tho
rank and fllo In tho Republican party
bad tho fun of helping tho Democrats
out It was very apparent from, tho
returns that many Republicans who
havo been helping out Wlttpenn In his,
mayoralty battles of tho past six years
turned on him yesterday.
When tho new commissioners take
office next Tuesday Jersey City's char
ter will cease to work They will elect
one of their number as mayor. Tho
mayor will receive a salary of $3,500
a year. Tho others will get $5,000.
Each commissioner will be nt tho head
of a department embracing a number
of old departments.
Ex-Mnyor Fagan Is nn undertaker.
He was known far and wide during
his terms as a progressive mayor. Al
though ho was originally elected aa a
regular Republican in the fall of 1001,
ho cut loose from tho Republican or
ganization. He compelled corporations
to pay more taxes than they had ever
paid before, built a new city hospital,
a new high school, free public baths,
enough schools to accommodnto every
child in tho city nnd reduced the tax
rate one-half.
He was later beaten by Mnyor Wltt
penn. chiefly as tho result of the cry
that tho people weren't paying less
taxes, as their valuations had been un
fairly boosted. Ho was ono of tho
original New Idea or Progressive in
New Jersey and helped pavo the way
for the movement that swept the Re
publicans out. of power in tho state
nnd made Woodrow Wilson governor.
Ho supported Mr. Wilson for president
and Is now a member of tho county
tax board by virtue of an appointment
by Mr. Wilson while governor.
WOMAN KILLED, 7 HURT
IN I, W, W, STRIKE RIOT
Ballets Fly In Clash With
Police.
Ipswich, Mass., Juno 11. A woman
was shot and killed, seven persons
wero wounded by bullets nnd many,
Including several policemen, were hurt
by other missiles in a strike riot out
side tho Ipswich Hosiery mill. Fifteen
persons, including leaders of tho In
dustrial Workers of tho World, wero
taken into custody. The woman who
met death was Miss Nicholctta Paudo
lopoulou, twenty-seven years old, who
was a spectator of tho fight Five of
the wounded persons were taken to the
Salem hospital, fourteen miles distant
In nn automobile. An appeal for help
was sent to Salem, and when a riot call
had been sounded In that city eighteen
policemen were rushed over the road
in nutomobiles.
The disturbance was started when
500 English speaking employees left
tho mill at the end of their day's work.
Thoy were met by groups of pickets
under tho leadership of tho Industrial
Workers of tho World, who had been
conducting a striko at tho plant for a
20 per cent increase of wages. When
the pickets began to jostle tho employ
ees the thirty policemen on duty Inter
fered, but they were unable to restore
order. In the midst of the confusion
Charles G. Hall, chairman. of tho board
of selectmen, began reading the riot
net The pickets, unablo to understand
English, becamo more demonstrative.
Bricks and bottles were thrown as
the policemen charged tho mob on Sal
stonstall street. At that moment ac
cording to spectators, shots were fired
from two tenement houses overlooking
tno scene occupied by mill hands.
Bluecoats in the street began firing.
and tho mob fled. Several victims of
bullets wero stretched on the pave
ments. Broken bottles and bricks had
cut the faces of manyjjpllcemen.
THE USE OF ARSENATE OF LEAD
And n Correction for Tent Caterpll'
lar Control.
As arsenate of lead has become
tho most important ingredient in
spraying for the control of chewing
Insects, it should bo kept at every
farm and orchard, ready for emer
gency when needed, and its use
should be understood. State Zoolo
gist H. A. Surface, at Harrlsburg,
recommends that arsenate of lead
should bo purchased as a dry powder,
and then kept constantly dry until
applied either as a dust diluted with
some other powdered material, or
(better) as a spray suspended; in
water; or that it be purchased in the
paste form, and then kept constantly
under water, so that it will not be
come dry and hard.
Arsenate has tho advantage of
sticking longer than other arsenical
materials, and being less liable to
Injure the foliage of fruit by an in
creased dosage, as with Paris green
It is very finely divided, can bo used
to cover tho fruit or leaf with an
even film, and will remain effective
longer than most other arsenical
poisons. It also remains suspended
m liquid bettor than Pans green,
and thus does not require so much
agitation or stirring.
The rule for the use of arsenate of
lead Is from two to three pounds of
the wet or pasto form In fifty gal
Ions of water, without regard to the
kind of plant to which it Is applied
This Is about one ounce to each
gallon. Only one-third as much of
the dry material need bo used, as it
is then fully as strong as. the wpt
material, which is heavier because
of the presence of water. Thus one
pound of dry arsenate of load in fif
ty gallons of water, or from ono
thlrd to ono-half ounce dry arsenate
01 leau to a canon of water is sum
dent, although with either form of
this material more can be used with
out danger to the plants, and a less
amount would have some deslrabje
effect in tho control of chewing in
sects.
Dr. Surface wishes to call atten
tlon to the fact that in a previous
artlclo reportlngj his discussion of tho
Tent caterpillar and the best'romedy
therefore, directions wero given to
use "ono quarter ounce of Paris
Green, or ono ounce of arsenate of
lead in fifty callous of water" which
should have read "Jn ono gallon" in
stead or "futyji ill but person

Dr. N. SVlcGee Waters
Pastor Tompkins Avenue Congregational Church, Brooklyn. The Larg
est Congregational Church in tho AVorld.
Large of head and shoulders, kindly of face, Dr. Waters on the plat
form radiates the vigor and sturdy optimism that is characteristic of tho
man. He is a master of telling wood-craft, and, of course, appeals Ir
resistibly to the educated. At the same time his startling viviuness 01
expression and his sympathetic familiarity with common things make him
the ,friend of the man with calloused hands. Dr. Waters lectures to an au
dience with the tremendous earnestness of a speaker who Is satisfied
with nothing short of the everlasting awakening of every listener on the
benches.
tlty ho would have no beneficial re
sults in the effort to control the pest,
and the time and labor would like
wise be lost. It should, therefore,
be remembered that tho above is tho
general formula for chewing insects,
whether they are caterpillars or
beetles on any kind of govetation or
fruit that is not mature enough to
bo gathered and eaten soon.
There are two important rules to
bo followed in the use of arsenical
sprays: Ono is never to spray blos
soms; and tho other Is never to spray
any parts of plants that are mature
enough to be eaten before tho spray
liquid has had a chance to become
weakened by natural atmospheric
agencies. This means that one rain
should fall upon it, or it should
stand exposed to air and wind for a
week or two before being used.
