The Penn's Grove record., 1904-11-25
A New Figure.

The Ledger says: A new figure is
rising in New Jersey politics in the per-
son of Assemblyman John Boyd Avis,
of Gloucester. This young man has,
up to date, shown remarkable level
headedness. So much so, indeed, that
the leaders will allow him to become
Speaker of the House again. He made
a satisfactory ruler last year. There
never was any trouble in the House
while he was in the chair, and every
body was satisfied. He is a lawyer,
and this is his fourth consecutive term
in the House, a very unusual record.
Only seven times in the last sixty years
has a Speaker been reelected two con
secutive years. The more recent cases
were those of Speaker Bradley, now
Senator from Camden, who was Speak
er in 1901 and 1902; David O. Watkins,
now Commissioner of Banks and Insur-
ance, who was Speaker in 1898 and
1899; James J. Bergen, now Vice Chan
%cellor, who was Speaker in 1891 and
1892; E. A. Armstrong, late Judge of
