Ii that offensive fish law which stops
fishing in fresh water. except with hook
and line had not been first passed in 1901
when ii. j. Blohm, a leading sturgeon
fisherman was in the Assembly. and
when Councilman George Jordan, a lead
ing shad fisherman, was a door keeper of
the House, both present to look after the
fshermen's interest, it would never have
been put into the revised laws last win
ter. Much more attention is given to
a new bill than to a codifcation. If
Senator Strimple and Assemblyman Har-
ris are to be blamed much more are r.
Q. Miller, then Senator and Mr.. Blohm.
The Fish and Game Commissioners who
drafted the first law and also the revision
did not know the effect of changing it's
application from tide to fresh waters.
None of the Legislators knew the effect.
1t was done ignorantly by all and the at
tempt to make political capital out of it
must fall when, we consider that Senator
Strimple endeavored to have the wrong
corrected at the special session two weeks
ago, but was hindered by a Republican
caucus, and gagged by a partisan major
ity in the Senate who refused to let the
bill be introduced, as they considered it
of small account, Notwithstanding it was
more important to some than the school
bill.

Prohibitionists Consider,

The Prohibitionists have had a ticket
in Salem County for the past twenty-five
years, until this year. Last year 272 bal
lots were cast for the head of their ticket.
Because of the red tape complications
and expense of the new tangled primary
law the Prohibitions are deprived OF hav-
ing a ticket of their choice to vote for
this year. No voter should be deprived
OF the right of voting for whom he pleas
es and having as many tickets as are
wished.
The question arises, will Prohibition
lists vote to strengthen a party which has
deprived them of their ticket for the first
time in twenty-five years by a new fan
gled primary law which was a party
measure?

The new primary law, section 81 pro-
hibits the nomination of one party man
on another old party ticket. In Camden
the Democratic candidates withdrew and
the Democrats wished to nominate an
anti-machine Republican for Freebooter
but the clerk said the law forbid.
Judge Garrison in Camden has decided
that a Republican could have his name
placed on a Democratic ticket. In rem
dering his decision Judge Garrison said
that he could readily see how the City
Clerk had interpreted the law, and he
believed Mr.. Kramer was honest in his
intentions to comply with the act, but
he did not think it was the intent OF the
lawmakers to deprive voters of the OPP
portunity to vote for whom they saw fit.
He then ordered the action of the City
Clerk reversed and the names Of the Re-
publicans who was defeated for renom-
ination be placed on the Democratic tick
ct, as endorsed by the Democratic execu-
tive committeeman.
