NEW ELEMENT

Democratic Mixup Said to be

who Have Replaced Others.

The Financing of the Election Said to be

In the Newark Sunday News yester
day, the New Brunswick correspondent
for that paper declared that not only was
George S. Silzer’s personal antagonism
to Mayor George A. Viehmanu one of
the reasons for the mixup in the Middle
sex County Democrats, but there is a
new elemout wnich has made its strength
felt in the campaign this fall. Referring
to this the article says:
‘The new element came to the front
last summer, when the city of New Bruus

Central New Jersey Telephone Company,
for a franchise to build a line in New
Brunswick.

considered had run things long enough,
and, though there has never been any
open declaration of mutiny, it has been
evident to those who read surface indica
tions that the wheels were not running
smoothly in the Democratic machine.
“But Viehmann has left New Bruns
wick for a business trip to northern New
York on the eve of the convention, and
he will not return until the middle of Oc
tober. It is higlilv improbable, say the
wiseacres, that his name will even be
mentioned in the convention, and it is un
derstood that he is not a candidate for
the nomination.
“The fight has narrowed down to Ber
nard M. Gannon, of Perth Amboy, and
Johp Quaid, of Sayreville. Gannon
made a splendid run for Assembly last
year,;being the only Democrat elected on

TOWN WRECKED.
Tornado Strlkra St. C'linrleii, Minn.
Seven People Killed.
ST. PAUL, Minn., Oct. 5.—St. Charles,
in Winona county, has been almost
completely wiped out by a tornado.
Seven people were killed, and twenty
eight were injured, many of them se
riously.
The tornado struck the town from
the southwest quarter and made a
clean sweep through it, following al
most entirely the line of the main
street and devastating buildings on
each side. Then the residences far
ther back from the business center
were struck and many of them blown
completely away.
The entire main street of the town
was literally wiped out, hardly a busi
ness place being left standing. Forty
two residences were destroyed, and tire
total property damage is estimated at
$ LOO,000.

"You’ve destroyed my peace of mind
Bessie,” said the despairing lover.

an oblique and downward course
through the air, cut down a large tree
in its flight, scattered a pile of lumber
as if beams and timbers had been so
many straws and landed 250 feet awuy.
