Neto York World Of today.
Elk Governor and next Governor Leon
Albeit slipped away on his yacht early
Wednesday morning to get a full days
rest andsa breath of fresh air. Yesterday
he was in his office, looking somewhat
tired but serenely content. AlLday long
visitors kept pouring in to CONGRATULATE
him upon having achieved the most nota-
bic Democratic victory ever known in
New Jersey, and kilograms arrived by
scores.
II am feeling pretty well used up, "said
the next Governor to a World reporter,
for the anvas which has just ended
was no child's play. It was incessant
work from the beginning, not only for
me. but for all my friends and all good
democrats. But the result is ample com
pensation for all the toll and mental
anxiety. Everybody did nobly. Look at
the way Mcpherson took of his coat. He
couldn't have done more If he had been a
candidate himself"
"What do you thiuk of Essex"
N result surprised me more. I fully
expected to lose Essex by at least 500, and
here we have carried it with nearly a
thousand to spare. And look at Hudson,
with 1900 or more, and Monmouth and
Mercer and Morrisi / tell you the Demo-
Gratis were up and coming this year."
@"Have you given your duties much
consideration as yet?"
Very little, / have been so busy max
ing certain the opportunity. L can say
this, however, / shall go into the State
House absolutely unpledged so far as
appointments are concerned, and with a
determination to accomplish all that / pos
sibly can accomplish for the benefit of the
people of New Jersey, whose signal mark of
condolences l appreciate to the utmost.
The first subject ] shall consider is ballot

to be able to suggest legislation that will
be both effective tint practicable. ] am
just as much in earnest in this matter
now as / was when 1 wrote my letter of
acceptance, and you can he assured that
I shall not rest till my pledge is fulfilled.
There are many other things requiring
attention, but you can readily understand
that Ihave not had time yet to reach
them"
