1898 the industries connected with the
utilization Of coal-tar-a former waste

Many, presumably well meaning, people
are busy Just now endeavoring to chose a
chairman for the Democratic State Com
mttee large number of them are Re-
pubiieans and their efforts are necessarily
to be viewed with suspicion. According
to these people it would seem that the
Democrats are all at sea and unable to
obtain a leader through a disposition on
the part OF eligible men to shirk the task.
They have William B. Gourley resigning,
Robert Davis telling how he cannot pos
sibly serve, and Allan L. McDermott posi-
lively declining the office every other day.
These good Republicans had better save
their energy for the time when they will
have to secure a successor to the Hon.
Franklin Murphy, who is tired Of opening
his barrel for the questionable honor of
being the nominal State leader. When
the Democrats get ready to advance upon
the Republicans. they will select leader
in whom they have the utmost confidence
and who will lead them to victory next
November.
The man who will be chosen will not
refuse.

Many of the New Jersey Republicans,

admirable nerve he has displayed in ap-
pointing one Of his own faction to the
Union County Election Board despite the
fact that the John Kean crowd, who have
the county machine in their grip. wanted
one of their side appointed. The Cover

in which he has assumed the responsf-
pility for this audacious defy of the
mtshty Junior United States Senator and
nox shouldered 1t or on Franklin Murphy
as chairman of the State Committee as
his past political record led many to be-
neve he would do.
The Republicans are entirely at loss
to account for this wonderful change. Of
heart on the part Of their Governor and
they cannot agree upon what to attribute
il to. Some are inclined to think that
the enjoyment of sweet revenge upon
John Kean has spurred the Governor to
doing things which no one dreamed he
was capable of. General seweil no doubt
