Mr.. Shriner Must Go.

The eyes Of a great many people in this
State are now upon the new Board of
Fish and Game Commissioners, which OF
ganized in this cityson Wednesday. The
reason for this focusing of optics is Mr..
Charles Shriner, the Fish and Game PRO
tector.'' The.people who are looking upon
the new Commissioners SO intently believe
that Mr.. Shriner has outlived his useful
ness and is not fit person to occupy
such o responsible position. They also
declare that bis manner of administering
his ONCE is not as it should be and for
some. time they have been clamoring for
his removal. In spite Of all this Mr..
Shriner has come up smiling each year
and secured an election as his own sue
cessof,
Among these people who think that Mr..
Ehriner should be removed is Governor
Voorhees,, and when he made appoint
ments to the Board last month it was
understood that he had an understanding
with the appointees that they would vote
to remove the Protector" 1t was there
fore thought that about the first thing
the new Board would do would be to
choose Mr.. Shriner's successor, but when
the Commissioners organized on Wednes-
day and failed to take any action in the
matter, the objectors to Mr.. shriner fell
TO wondering.
It IL believed, however, that Mr.. shriner
must go and that the delay in starting
him on his journey to oblivion is due to
the inability of the Commissioners, so
far, to find his successor; not that there
IS any lack of capdjdates-their name is
legion--but that men with the necessary
qualifications are scarce.
Ex-Assemblyman Charles D. Codd:ng,
of Westfield. has been the leading cam
didate, and 1t is generally conceded that
he would satisfactorily fill the office. But
Mr.. Codding has recently been appointed
to a responsible position in the Office of
the Clerk of the Supreme Court and it
is thought that this removes him from
the field. The Commissioners will meet
again next week, when Mr.. Shriner's sue
cessor will undoubtedly be appointed.

He is man of agreeable manner when

when an enemy. 1t is said that he never
shows excitement. Do whatever you can
and be able to do whatever you want to-
is his motto. An incident in connection
with his nomination is cited as character
istic. The fact that he had to start with
less than one hundred and fifty delegates
out Of nearly thousand only whetted his
desire to secure the nomination. Another
man would not have thought it possible to
win, but to him the difficulties were tempt

est wherever there was thought to be the
least excuse to contest. In the case of
the delegations from the two counties op-

the reason that the delegations had been
elected without opposition. 1t was neces-
sary that Goebel men should be seated in
the place of these delegates. Goebel was
Informed that this was the case and that
there was no one to contest the seats He
is said to have replied that there must be
a contest anyhow. To the objection that
the two delegations had been elected with
out opposition he is said to have replied
that there must be a contest anyhow and
to have furnished the names of men to
whom to telegraph to initiate contests
The men telegraphed for were seated.
