Figures

Just before New Jersey went to the polls last week, Mayor Frank Hague of Jersey City, Boss of Jersey's Democracy, opined that his candidate for Governor, Senator A. Harry Moore, would carry his Hudson County stronghold by 130,000 votes. Candidate Moore carried Hudson County by 129,000 votes. Since this was enough to wipe out the leads piled up by his Republican opponent, Preacher Lester H. Clee, in most other New Jersey counties and give Moore a Statewide margin of 744,311-to-699,454, Candidate Clee and his Republican friends promptly charged that their Hudson County workers had been intimidated, began, clamoring for a recount. When officials advised that this could not legally be limited to one county and would cost some $360,000 for the State's 21 counties, hard-boiled Boss Hague suggested that Preacher Clee put up or shut up.

In the only other U. S. gubernatorial election of the week, Virginia's Democratic Lieut.-Governor James Hubert Price, a courtly 55-year-old Richmond lawyer, got more than five votes to every one polled for his courtly fellow townsman and old friend, former Republican State Senator J. Powell Royall.
