...Jersey's eyes the Hoffman-Fort battle eclipsed the Landon-Borah contest. While Fortians were urged to "vote the alphabet" (C for Conklin, D for Duffield, E for Edge, F for Fort), Governor Hoffman's machine concentrated on urging the faithful to vote not for four Landon delegates-at-large but for Hoffman only, thereby saving the Governor's face with "bullet votes."
