date f3r holding a State convention aid
~relegating that duty to a special COM
inittee has provoked criticism from some
of the party workers. When the De.dio-
| cratic organization was controlled BY the
| old leaders a policy of aggressiveness was
always pursued. Hitherto no State eont-
mittee ever met to name a day for the
holding of a convention without per-
forming that duty before adjournment.
SILL. the members of the present State
Committee believe they have good reasons
for a further elaboration over the sub
ject. One reason, 40 doubt is mat the
committee desires to wait until the Re
publicans nave named the day for sneir
convention. The Republican programme
is cut and dried, because from present IN
dications Foster M. Voorhees, will be
nominated for Governor and a Platform
win be adopted which will reaffirm the
principles of the party such as a high
tariff. the gold standard and the record
| of the present National Administration.
No politician of any note expects amy
thing else.
Some Democrats congratulate them
selves that the "old gang'-as Rufus
Blodgett dubbed the leaders then IN con-
trol-are not at the helm any more.
And that ..old gang was composed OF
brainy men who never weakened in sight
of the enemy and who generally marched
their hosts to victory. Perhaps it would
be better if that same Nold Sang was in
/ control today. It is true that many Of its
| members are deceased. such as John r..
Mcpherson, Leon Albeit and Robert 5.
Green, but then there remains Edward L,
G. Young, Benjamin F, Lee. Allan j..
McDermott. Gotfried Kruger and Miles
Ross. Senator Smith and Johnston Cor
nish are the only leaders of former days
who are now in harness.
Republican factions may continue their
| quarre1ing, but it is very seldom tnat he
big leaders become ~entangled. On princi-
pies the Republicans are united, but as 10
| candidates for office they become ire
quently contentious. The Republican
party today is controlled by the best
| gcnera1ship thai can be produced. Gen
era1 Sewell, no doubt, is the best ana
/ wisest leader of the lot. AS to men,
measures and campaigns his advice is ~
ways taken. and his followers have been
/ seldom led astray by it. Then there are
Vico-Presi6ent Hobart, Acknowledgement
Griggs, Franklin Murphy John Keaa ana
| others of lesser note, who always HEite
| with General Sewell and approve his plan
! of campaign. They first tind out what
their party wants and then go ahead and
fight the battle for supremacy. In the
selection Of Foster NJ. Voorhees, as 2 Gu
bernatcrial candidate these leaders have
simply fallen in with public opinion. AZ
