A political battle royal is brewing in
the city of Camden, and all indications at
this time point to route Of the gang"
that has become hateful to all good citi-
zens there. Mayor Hatch, who three
years ago was elected by fusion of the
Democrats and Independents, is now slated
for denomination by the gang while
Joseph Nowr ey, elected Recorder three
years ago on the fusion ticket with Hatch,
is the candidate of the people for Mayor
against Hatch. The gang propose to
make the Board of Education a part OF
their political organization, and this move
has added strength to the fusion forces
not before possessed, because thoughtful
men, no matter how strong their party
allegiance, recognize the Importance of
keeping the school system on plane
above any other branch of government.
On the ticket headed by Mr.. Nowrey are
candidates for the Board of Education
representing both parties, and pledged to
non-partisan methods in public school
administration.
The men and the party who place the
public school system on the same level as
police and fire departments, lack right
conception of the higher duties of citizen
ship and the gang" who have so long
driven the people to do their bidding at the
Camden polls will find they have over
loaded the political wagon when they
placed the selection of teachers of the
public schools in the same grab-bag with
guardians of the peace and the fire fight

Especial Correspondence
TRENTON, Feb. 20.-With the advent
of springlike weather the thoughts of
the legislators turn to final adjourn
ment, and they are beginning to shape
their work in that direction. Leading
members of the legislature are of the
opinion that the session will not last
longer than March 10, and there is a
possibility that adjournment may be
reached a week earlier. All this, how
ever, is conjectural, and it may be that
the session will drag along until the
latter part of March. If adjournment
is reached by March -, the session
will have lasted ten weeks.
Eleven weeks has been the average
length of legislative sessions in past
years, excepting in extraordinary cases,
as is shown by the following table:
