State Leadership this Year.

During all the years that have
marked the great Republican successes
in New Jersey, Franklin Murphy has
been the chairman of the Republican
State Committee. When he assumed
the Gubernatorial office the active
duties fell upon Edward G. Stokes, the
vice-chairman, but Governor Murphy
has been the directing mind in election
cam aigns during his term of Office.
1t was the signal success of Governor
Murphy's party management in this
State that directed the attention to him
of the national leaders as the most
capable man to take the place of the
late Senator Mark Hanna as chairman
of the National Republican Committee
and inclined the President to select him
for that most important charge. 1t is
perhaps well for the party in the State
this year that this great responsibility
is not to be thrust upon the Governor,
as it would almost wholly divert him
from the State campaign.
Last year the State gave a Repub-
lican plurality of 28,581 on the legis-
lative ticket. In 1901 Murphy for Gov
ernor received a plurality of l7,l33. In
the Congressional elections in 1902 the
Republican plurality was 1887. The
average for the three years was 2l,7OO.
1t may be said, therefore, that a change
of about eleven thousand votes in No
vember will alter the political COM
pleXiun of the State, and that would
be less than 3 per cent. of the total
Republican and Democratic vote for
Governor in 1901. The margin of diff
ference is, therefore, not so broad that
it cannot be wiped out. The idea of a
''sure thingp should be discarded. The
Republican party organization will
need this year its best tried leadership.

Cured His Mother of Rheumatism.

"My mother has been a sufferer for
many years with rheumatism says
w. II. Howard, of Husband, Pa. A
times she was unable to move at all,
while at all times walking was pain
full. l presented her with a bottle OF
Chamberlain Pain Balm and after a
few applications she decided it was the
most wonderful pain reliever she had
ever tried, in fact, she is never without
it now and is at all times able to walk.
An occasional application of Pain Balm
keeps away the pain that she was for
merly troubled with" For sale by Co

If you ask upon what basis we claim
there will be a great rise in property,
we answer that conditions here are
bringing to Wildwood a rapidly in
creasing population and with it a cor
responding demand for property
which naturally means higher prices.

you wish me to explain a matter in
volving a lady?"
Miss West laughed. "a lady with
three beautiful golden balls hanging
before his shop!"
Winterton opened his eyes.
81 have solved another mystery"
Miss West went on without explain
ing the first. And she produced the
haberdasher's letter, with receipted bill
and 50. Winterton read it. Like a cor
nered stag, he sought an egress.
"This letter." he said, involves a
number of singular condolences" Miss
West thrust her hand into the folds of
some lace across her bosom and drew
out his grandfather's watch.
Mr.. Winterton was staggered. This
was like getting ready to lead a for
lorn hope against an overwhelming en-
envy and having another enemy come
down from another quarter.
Clarence" said Miss West, ''please
don't tell me any more lies"
This is all of the story that ever got
out. Society heard it and laughed in
its sleeve. Not knowing of Miss Vests
partially for Mr.. Winterton, it was
naturally supposed that she treated
him with the contempt to be expected.
But society discovered itself to be
wrong when the announcement was
made of Mr.. Winterton's and Miss
Vests engagement.

been CRYING, was sitting in the other end

Bemidji. July 20, 'O4.
Editor of the Pioneer:
Referring to the "Serious
Charges in the Pioneer of
Saturday, July 16, against D. G.
Smyth, clerk Of the school board,
in which J. J. Ellis convicts him
self of either bribery or perjury
in February, 1903. I want to say
that so far as his relations with
me are concerned, he is not
guilty of bribery.
This statement says thatin the
month of February, 1908 he paid
me $50 for the position Of janitor.
The records Of the Board of
the Education show that at the
beginning Of the school years Of
1902 and 1908 that on August 2,
1902, Goe. E Carson, was elected
president, D. G. Smyth was
elected clerk and John Graham
was elected treasurer.
The treasurer's compensation
was liked at 2 per cent of his dis
bursments.
the clerks salary was fixed at
$75 per month with the under
standing that he was to perform
the duties of engineer and janitor
of the main school building in adj
dition to the clerical duties per-
tanning to his office. Further,
that during the school year of
