When Ex-Governor and Candidate Voor-

The percentage of deaths is quite small
when based on the whole number of troops
but when it is considered that not rs per
cent. of the troops was engaged. it multi
plies the percentage of loss by four.
And when it is noted that out of 1910

Every Democratic newspaper in the
State earnestly advocates the election OF
Elvin w. Crane as Governor, and the party
was never more united and confident OF
victory. All the divisions this year are
in the Republican ranks, and dissension is
especially prevalent in Essex County,
where Mr.. Cranes personal popularity and
his stainless record in a public position OF
great responsibility ensure him a large ma
jority. Foster M. Voorhees, has made
many enemies since he succeeded to the
executive Office, and the large Republican
element which once looked to him as the
leader of revolt against General Sewells
autocracy is Disguised with his abject
surrender to corporation influence. Thou
sands will vote for Crane with the sole
purpose of beating Voorhees,. The latter's
defeat will be vindication of that article
in the Constitution which make Cover
nor ineligible for three years after the ex-
piration of his term. Mr.. voorhees, has
utilized all the Irerogatives of the place to
promote bis own nomination and election,
which is the manifest evil the trainers OF
the State organic law sought to guard
against. The people of New Jersey will
obviate by their action at the polls the
the necessity of appealing to the courts for
decision whether the intent of the Con-
stitution can be nullified by technicality
The Constitution has got the idea into its
skull that the late Democratic State Con-
vention was bossed by Senator Smith. The
Constitutions opinion on that point is not
important, but as Congressman PitneY's
friends down here took some interest in
his boom for Governor, we will reproduce
North Jersey exchanges description OF
how Pitney came not to be candidate for
Governor. In North jersey the Repnbli
cans speak of Pitney as a positive" man:
Boss Sewell sent for this positive" man
Pitney to come to his Office in Camden
He went, and after the door had been
closed Sewell drew his long scalping knife
and began whettiDg it on his book The
silence was appalling, and the positive"
mans derby began to dance on the top
ends of his hair.
AS the Boss ran his fingers over the edge
of the knife, he presently said-with a
frown as dense as Delaware river fog
said he;
"Mahlon, neither you, nor Frank Muir
phv nor j Judge Fort are recognized candi-
dates"
"B'gosh, that's SOL" exclaimed Mahlon,
I'VE were only feelin' the public pulse. T"
swell, I'm the public pulse" replied
the Boss, adding, ego home and tell the
people that you're for Harmony and Voor-
bees. Dye hear? Harmony and Voor-
hees!"
Yes, sir" feebly answered Mahlon, and

tive" man headed for Morristown, his
heart freighted with disappointment and

MACHINE TO LOCATE GOLD.
Remarkable Results of Attempts to Find
Hidden Treasure.

Mount Holly Corr Chicago Chronicle.
A test has just been made in locating
gold by the men who have been seeking
for Captain Kidds hidden treasure IN
the Delaware river. Owing TO the M
favorable comments that have been
made in regard to the matter AMI the
Skepticism that has existed concerning
the same. William II. Anderson and DR..
Samuel Galley invited nLin5er OF
prominent citizens to witness the ao-
tions of the instrument that was en-
ployed in locating the pirates treasure.
Those who were present have every
reason to believe the instrument VII

amazing 1t will not weigh one pound

was fully demonstrated time and again

mile or two away in the woods. Dr.
Galley put over $3.50 in gold on a table
and all the gold watches present were
placed with it. When the instrument
was adjusted in the hands of Mr.. An

to hold on to the handles with him and
offered TO give the contents of the table

can stream and retired to a sumptuous
lunch at a neighboring motel. In his
absence some Wag removed his pegs
and lined out totally different course.
On his return the diviner took up the
new direction and continued it for over
100 yards more and did not discover his
mistake until one of his admirers point
ed out the deception. But no boring
for water had yet been made. and the
authoritative statements of the diViner
were unchallenged. At length the nee
essary implements were obtained. and
an attempt was made at several points
to reach the water so confidently indi-
Gated At one point where water was
predicted at a depth of 40 feet a boring
of $50 feet was made, with the only re-
suit that no water could be found, the
machinery eventually broke down, and
after going down about 200 feet, the
borer could not be extracted. The
same ridiculous result occurred in
other places, and up to the present at
none OF the points indicated by the di-
viner has water been found.
The water finder has left the island
discounted. and the auditor general is
now asking who is responsible for the
G250 voted and paid by each of the five
parochial boards. This incredulous Of
fetal fails to see how public money
could be legitimately used for fees to a
water diviner, and has intimated that
the parties responsible for the pay
ments are personally responsible.

brought to bear, and the first thing 1t
located was the three banks in Mount

This is the first time the public has
been permitted to look at this machine,
which. on account of its simplicity, is
certainly something wonderful, and
those who We're present now have
better understanding of the belief ex-
listing in the treasure that has been un-
successfully sought for in the Delaware
river. Those interested in this scheme
believe that the treasure box in the
water has been removed by those en-
ployed to raise it for them but to def
nitely ascertain this fact another test
