ALL HAPPENS
ON TUESDAYS.
Events for the State
Legislature When il Con-
Venss Next Month.

Trenton Dec. 16:-The Tuesdays in
January, 1905, will be unusually import
ant in New Jersey from a political stand
point. On the second tuesday will occur
the opening of the Legislature. On the
third Tuesday Govcrnor-elect Stokes will
be i%naugurated and on the fourth Tues
day the two houses will meet separately
to ballot for the choice of the successor
to United States senator Kean.
On the day following the fourth Tues
day the two houses will meet in joint ses-
| sion to select the United States senator.
The vote taken in the separate sessions
of the two houses on the preceding day
will be first read in the joint session,
and If, as will be the case this time, tn,
majority of each house has declared
favor of the same person, the presiding
officer will announce the election of the
person receiving the majority of each
house. Should the majority vote in each
house not be for the same person then
it would be necessary to have a roll call
and n vote taEen in the joint session
itself.
AT the same time that United States
Senator Kean is elected to succeed him
self the joint session will probably choose
successors to State Treasurer Briggs
and State Comptroller Morgan. There is
practically no doubt but that both
Treasurer Briggs and Comptroller Nor

form he had made the plunge, and after
he had made a change OF clothing he
again we MT on the bridge, ard the Hekla
set out on her westward voyage.
The Hekla fought fhe gales throughout

In recognition nf the bravery of Captain
Egeure, the passengers on landing yester-
day presented him with a signed testi-
monial.

Editorial COMMENT.

The stories of Inconvenience caused
by the Newark bay draw on the Jer.
ssey Central are greatly exagRregated
according to the average Plainfield
acommuter. Naturally, however, some
delay il encountered now and then
but the general service given by the
road is better today that it has been
an many years. The company is now
building one of the finest draws In the
country and at the same time is main

aences occasioncd by the work. So

What argument could be more con-
gclusive of the absolute need of i'm

those of this city by SIG, 785. SO? The
