that State Treasurer Frank o. Briggs

would meet with favor in the eyes Of the
men who control the Pennsy iyania pol
icy.
@The Pennsylvania Company win not
permit any other corporation t. eRcrcaeh

..The political managers ii the Pennzyl-
vania Company have for some TING
viewed with suspicion the activity of the
Public Service Corporation and the Prn-
dential Insurance Company in State pol-
tiles.
THE Public Service Corporation has
been building up a strong political power
through influential men active in its gas
trolley and electric light and power n-
terests in several counties. The PFudens
tial Company IS on very friendly terms
with the three big life insurance compa-
nies Of New York, the Equitable. the Mu-
tual and the New York.
In contest for the political control
Of New Jersey these united interests
could give the Pennsylvania Company
great deal Of trouble to maintain is as
tendency IN State politics. The trolley
people want a Governor and Lesisla-
ture friendly TO their interests. The big
life insurance companies want repre-
sentative in the United States Senate,
and they win naturally work for the re-
election Of Senator Dryden.

Old Bergen road and 225 feet on Nep-
tune avenue. The plot is on the north-
