LOOKS LIKE STOKES AND BLACK.

That Edward g. Stokes and Charles
G. Black will be the respective Repub-
lican and Democratic candidates for
Governor of New Jersey in the coming
campaign there is practically no doubt
at this time
Mr.. Stokes has rendered such valu-
able service to his state and party that
no other name has been seriously con-
sidered for the gubernatiorial nominal
tion by the Republicans since the cleo
ton of Governor Murphy three years
ago. He will be nominated by accla-
nation, unless something unforeseen
happens and his fight will be made on
the record he has established in state
affairs.
Mr.. Black 9 selection by the Demo-
crates has virtually been agreed upon
by ex-senator James Smith, Jr., the
party leader Of the state, and Robert
Davis, leader Of the Hudson county
Democrats. The plan of the Demo
Gratis is to make another sped acular
z equal taxation" campaign, as they
did with the late Governor Albeit,
and they regard it as essential that a
Hudson man be named for such fight.
Like Mr.. Stokes, Mr.. Black is just
in the prime of life, being but forty
six years Of age. Mr.. Stokes is two
years his Junior. Mr.. Black is a grad
uate of Princeton, while Mr.. Stokes
claims Brown University as his alma
mater
Both have figured actively in state
politics since 1891. In that year Mr.
Stokes was first elected to the Assem-
bly, and two years later he was sent to
the Senate, to which body he was
twice returned. He became Clerk in
Chancery in 1901. Mr.. Black became
a member Of the State Board Of Taxa
tion in 1891 and has been twice re-
named by Republican Governors. He
also served for five years as a member
of the Hudson County Board of Regis
tration under the Ballot Reform Law
and has made two valuable additions
to the literature of the law in his
" Proof and Pleadings in Accident
Cases. and New Jersey Law of Tax
alton"
Both of the prospective candidates
are good speakers and their nomina
tions will mean very lively campaign
in the state prior to the November
election.

OF INDIANA

WHEN, on Saturday, Judge Parker
was nominated for the presidency by
the Democratic convention on plat
form that lodged every issue, and from
which there had been stricken out the
currency plank, it seemed as though
that party had made another colossal
blunder and the Republican candidates
would have the support of many prom
inent Democrats. But the aspect was
changed on Saturday when Judge
Parker, in spite Of the fact that the
Democrats had been assured that he
would run on any platform, sent a
telegram in which he placed himself
squarely upon a gold standard and
served a notice upon the party that IT
elected his administration would be
conducted along those lines. This
acted as a bomb shell in the Demo-
cratic camp, but after fierce discus
sion by the leaders Judge Parker was
taken at his word and the convention,
although no change was made in the
platform, practically agreed to the
gold standard. The effect of this
declaration by the Democratic candi-
date has been to draw to him the gold
Democrats and sharply defines the
line upon which the campaign will be
conducted. But it no wise follows
that it insures the election of the
Democratic ticket. The fact remains
that although as leading Democratic
organs say, the nominee is the plat
form and the candidate is much better
than his party, the principles of the
party are unchanged. The party is
still far from being sane and safe, the
leaven Of Organism still permeates it,
and the people of this country will
still recognize the hands of Esau al
though the voice of Jacob may make
most specious declarations. In spite
Of Judge Parker's personality the Re
publican ticket will be elected by an
overwhelming majority.

GENERAL MILES, falling to see any
glory in being the candidate of the
Prohibition party, peremptorily with
held his name as candidate for the
presidency, and on Thursday Silas c.
Swallow, of Harrisburgh, Pa, was
nominated by acclamation, and George
/. Carroll, of Beaumont, Texas, was
nominated for president. The
platform adopted by the convention
presents radical departure in that it
includes planks on the trust and other
old party issues, which prohibition
orators have hitherto not brought
themselves to acknowledge. The in
itiatiye and referendum, reform Of
divorce laws, international arbitra-
tion, overthrow Of polygamy and Grad
ication of the social evil are other
planks OF the platform.

PoTAToEs have been costly luxury
for some time, and it is pleasing to
learn that this years crop is to be a
record breaker in Northern New Jer-
sey. The season has been especially
adapted to the growth of the tuber.
Farmers in Sussex, Warren and Hun
terdon Counties all report larger
potatoes, and many more to the hill
than for several years past. Peach
growers are also elated at the pro-
spect of good crop. The trees are
heavily laden, many of them having
the lower limbs sustained by props to
keep them from breaking

THE Chicago Tribune which has
become an authority on casualty
statistics, shows that the Fourth of
July just passed was celebrated with
record Of 50 persons killed and S,O49
injured. The death-roll is one less
than for 1908, and there is a decrease
Of GIG in the number injured. The
tetanus returns have not yet come in,
but it is likely there will be a consider
able falling off in the number of fatal
tiles. There is some reason to hope
that the sentiment in favor of sane
Fourth is growing

GOVERNOR MAKES APPOINTMENTS
Decatur NJ. sawyer, of Montclair to
Succeed DR.. C. 7. Lewis.

Decatur NJ. Sawyer, of Montclafr to
Succeed DR.. C. I. Lewis.
Governor Murphy has appointed
Decatur NJ. Sawyer, of Montclair, a
Commissioner Of the State Reforma-
tory at Railway, to succeed the late
DR.. Charlton T. Lewis, and has also
named Miss Mary Philbrook to fill the
vacancy in the commission to inyesti-
gate the subject of a special reforma-
tory for women.
Mr.. Sawyer is reputed to be about
the best equipped living penologist in
this State, and in making the appoint
ment Governor Murphy feels that he
could scarcely do better.
Miss Philbroolx is we'll known by
reasonof her work in this State as
counsel for the New Jersey Legal Aid
Society and in other philanthropical
and sociological movements.
Mr.. Sawyer has made study Of
prison conditions, visiting many penal
institutions both in this country and
abroad during the last twenty years,
and consequently is eminently fitted
for the responsible position imposed
upon him.
Mr.. Sawyer is Bostonian, but has
lived in Montclair upwards of fifteen
years, going there from East Orange,
where he resided ten years.

THERE is much said in the Demo
cratic and independent papers about
the honesty Of Judge Parker, the
Democratic nominee for the presi-
dency, because of his dispatch to the
Democratic convention regarding his
money views. But it would seem that
the honesty came late. He has been
importuned for months to speak on
the subject but preserved sphinx
like silence until through the repre-
sentions Of David b. Hill he receives
the nomination. Then he speaks and
places the convention in position
where it can do nothing else but en-
dorse him and secures a reputation
for honesty. 1t very much resembles
a bunco game.

THE Washington Star says that
the reason the Democrats had the pict-
ure of no living Democrat in their ma
tional convention hall is because the
party stands for principles not men.
That is good Can brother Stryker
name single principle that the party
has stood for for five years in success
sion? The popular idea Of only dead
Democrats being on exhibition is that
they are the only kind the leaders are
sure will stand by their previous de-
clarations.
