TRENTON, Dec. Is, 1905.-Among
some of the Republican leaders of the
State. the belief is current that darShg
the coming session of the Legislature a
law viii be enacted. possibly in January,
for the election of members of the AS
sembly by districts, as was the custom
prior to 1893, when the statute under
which the district elections were he'd,
was set aside in the Supreme Court as
unconstitutional. That case was never
taken into the Court of Errors and APP
peals for authoritative adjudication. and
Assemblymen have since been elected en-
masse in counties where more than one
was to be chosen.
While this latter interpretation of the
law has been acceded to for years. there
has always existed more or less doubt as
to the validity of the decision in the SUI
preme Court. and one reason for the pro-
posed passage of the law to re establish
the district system is said to be the de-
sire to have the law on the question def
nitely decided.
BY many of the Republican leaders ths
belief is held that the people at large
think the district system more represent
ative than the county system. Among
them, according to report, is Governor
Edward G. Stokes himself. He has CON
sistently held the opinion, despite the rul-
ing in the Supreme Court. that the dis
trict system is both the more represents
atiye system and the more legal

cred enough By him for suggestion in his
message to the Legislature Is not pet pos
itively known, but some Of the promnsna
Republicans in the Stats would not be
surprised to see the subject taken up
and the recommendation made thar che
district system be made into law.
If the Legislature should act favoraA
bly,. it is said to be the intention TO have
the law taken at once into the courts for
final adjudication. In the Supreme
Court, it is anticipated, the precedent al.
ready established will be adhered to az
governing the matter. Appeal win at
once be made to the Court of Errors and
Appeals, and before the time for holding
the primaries and election next year, a
final decision will be obtained.
If the Legislature should pass the law
during January, the act may at once be
taken into the Supreme Court and ap-
pealed in time TO be taken into the Court
of Errors and Appeals for action during
the February term. If not. the action
Of the highest court will have to be de-
ferred until the July term. A decision
during she latter term. if given speedily

in time not to interfere with the present
election laws.
1t is possible that if the act to estab-
lish the district be passed and approved
by the Governor, that some amendment
to the general election law viii be made
TO provide for the nominations and elee-
tons in the districts. That. however. Is
subsidiary consideration.
