lief that Congressman Daily will defeat Robert
Davis in the contest for delegates from Hud-
son County to the National Democratic Con-
Nention. 1t might be a good idea for some
South Jersey people TO go up into Hudson
County and get better acquainted with Mr..
Davis. He has a winning way.
There is in South Jersey who was so
resoluteIy determined TO accept the
inatiOn for public office that he left the town
in which he lived to get rid of the pressure that
was being brought upon him to take it. 1t is
thought that there are several counties in the
State that would pay a liberal reward if a few
within their limits would decline to accept
nominations in the same way
In the opinion of ex-senator Chase. of Middle
sex County, ''it is not the pound net and the
seagull that making the scarcity of fish,
but it is the poison from sewage tainted rivers
that is destroying the fish" Mr.. Chase has had
excellent opportunities for observation and as
he is man who measures his words carefully
at all times what he has said this subject
will not be set down as exaggeration, but
will be received as a matter of fact
Robert Davis. the Democratic leader of Hud-
son County, is quoted as saying that he is in
favor of holding the party's State Convention
in June. and that he lis opposed to snap con-
ventions. Mr.. Davis is nothing if not ingen-
uous. BY holding the convention in June he
thinks the delegates to the National Convention
will represent the latest possible sentiment of
the party" This plan would leave nearly four
months in which to work up sentiment against
William J. Bryan, and Mr.. Davis is not so much
of a Bryan man that he is holding up Demo-
Gratis in his efforts to obtain pledges for the
Silver t0nCupd' National Demo-
cratic Convention
In the matter of good roads New-Jersey has
made rapid strides during the past seven years
Since the present law went into effect. in 1893
40 miles of roads have been built. at a cost
to the State of $715,S26 Last year alone ia
miles were built. to which the State contributed
S15o,oo0. and 1t is doubtful If the same amount
of public money ever better spent. Thirteen
counties have participated in the work and
shared In the appropriations, and it is safe to
say that they would rather pay double the
amount in expenditure that they have paid
than go back to the former conditions of many
OF the public highways. This year the specif-
cations provide for 2l2 miles of new roads. the
estimated cost of which is $3.50 626 Toward
this expense the state contributes the regular
S150O0o. which is the annual appropriation.
The amount is generally regarded liberal, but
there is no room for doubt that il is an invest
ment that pays a better rate OF interest than it
would If invested in almost any other way.
New-Jersey is becoming we'll known for its
good roads and the wider this reputation be
comes. as II is sure become under the present
progressive management. the better 1t will he
for the State.
It is quite probable as has been frequently
remarked, that the Legislature will be wise II
