NEW PLATFORM
MORE RADICAL
Democrats from All Sections of
the State Assembled in
Newark Yesterday.

NEWARK, Mar 21.-Democrats
from all parts of New Jersey gather
ed in the New Auditorium, Newark
yesterday afternoon in response to a
call for a meeting to reorganize the
democratic party throughout the
state along the lines of the Demo-
cratic League of Essex county, which
was recently formed in Newark. 1t
was nine o'clock last night when the
meeting was over.
About Two hundred men partici-
pated. II ere were old school and
new school mocrats-radicals and
conseryatives-and the radicals won
out in each of the oratOrical and vot-
ing contests. \ central state demo-
cratic organization was formed with
five representatives from each county.
No name was chosen. but the follow
ing officers were elected: President,
John Moody, of Union county; Vice
president, John A. Smith, of Camden;
secretary, Joseph r. Buchanan, OF
Montclair, and treasurer, Archibald
Alexander, of Hoboken.
When the convention opened for
mer Judge George II. Lambert said
it had been called to better the con
dition of the democratic party in New
Jersey and TO check the republicans
from grabbing ali that is good which
the democrats have stood for. For
mer Representative Allan Benny, of
Bayonne, was chosen temporary
chairman and an adjournment was
taken to give the committees on rules
and organization chance to work.
When the session was reopened
late in the afternoon, Thomas A. Da-
Wis, of Orange, was named as per-
mancnt chairman. This provoked the
first fight The radical reform ele-
ment wanted Mr.. Benny and got him
by vote of 95 to 80. Then the plat
form was taken up.
Besides a long preamble against
the republican party and manage
ment of public affairs by bosses, the
platform provides for the enforce
ment of the laws of the state against
all persons, municipal ownership OF
all local public utilities and govern
ment ownership of all railroads, eX-
press companies and telegraph and
telephone companies, equal taxation,
election of United States senator's by
direct vote; constitutional amend

ton of the recall system; the resto-
ration of assembly districts; reforma-
ton OF tariff laws, eight hour work

and trust companies in New Jersey,

FIGHT FOR EQUAL ASSEMBLY
REPRESENTATION BEEN WON;
NEW BRUNSWICK COMES DOWN
County Seat at Last Made Realize that She Holds Only Second
Place in Conference With Governor and State Leaders
Brought About the Desired Attenuation No HEARING to be
Given on the BiII-lOCaI Men Abandon Trip
ASSEMBLYMAN DRAKE STOOD BY PERTH AMBOY

there were present the governor, Mr..
Briggs, Assemblyman Perkins, Re-
publican leader in the house, and Mr.
Drake. The whole situation was re-
viewed and Mr.. Drake stood his
ground that Perth Amboy should get
square deal.
The upshot Of the conference was
that the Republican leaders came
entirely over 10 the position taken by
Assemblyman Drake and agreed that
when the bill comes up on second
reading it should be amended so as
10 make the MiddleseX county dis
tricts stand rs already outlined.
There is another side to the pic
ture that may, perhaps, throw some
light on the question of why the un-
fair arrangement was made in the
first place. When Theodore Strong,
OF New Brunswick, found that Mr..
Drake was working against the pres
ent bill he saw the assemblyman and
tried 10 induce him to desist from
his fight. Senator Jackson also in
teryiewed Mr.. Drake, but raised no
objections to the change when he un-
derstood how Perth Amboy looked at
the matter. Nh Strong, seeing final
~, that Mr.. Drake was determined,
and that Perth Amboy was prepared
to fight TO the last ditch, gave in and
acceded to the amendment PROPOSE
ton.
The only condition the state lead
ers imposed was that the other Mid
dlesex assemblyman should agree to
the change. Mr.. Drake assured them
that DR.. Crowther, although unable
to be in Trenton, would surely sup
port him. and that Mr.. Haines was
also in favor of the amendment. That
settled the matter and Perth Amboy
comes off with flying colors.

Walter P. Moore, the independent candidate for sheriff, has been in the Valley for a week. He is surprised at the vastness and the seeming unlimited stretch of fertile lands, the numerous cheerful and happy homes and the many highly cultivated and improved pieces of property he sees on all sides. He was over here from San Diego some seven years ago with party of eastern newspaper men, who went out on the then desert for plersure and ex- citement. The change from then till now is marvellous from a desert in- habited only by the coyote and Cocopah to thickly settled and God blessed community numbering into the thous- ands. He is much pleased with the people and their feeling of political in- dependence. He feels very much gratified at the reception he is receiv- ing on all sides, but somewhat dlsap- pointed at the length of time 1t takes to get to them, as most candidates get over the Valley in something less than week, but he is now convinced it will take him at least three weeks to ac- complish the job and he brides himself somewhat in being something of Jehu himself.

ot the people to ignore party lines and cast their votes for whomsoever they believe best qualified for the office. The peo- pie of this Valley are not only no exception to this rule, but they are a striking example of 1t. In the recent party primaries no in- terest was taken and nobody at- tended except the friends of cer- tain parties who wanted to run for offices. Nominations thus se- cured cannot be said to have the backing of the people and the various candidates will have to run on their own merits. We hope they will all make a thor ough canvass, so the voters can judge intelligently between the various aspirants.

Hotel OpeninQ

w. w. Masten opened the Hotel Fl Centro to the public Sunday, and the first meal served was dinner at noon. A large crowd was present at that meal, showing their appreciation of having first-class place to go and enjoy a good meal and all the com forts of a modern hotel The opening of this new hostelry under such very favorable circumstances argues well for its future success. Thoroughly ex- perenced help has been secured and nothing will be left undone to make this the most pleasant place in the Valley to stop. It is the policy of the lessee to look more 10 the comforts of the guests than 10 the pecuniary side of the matter.

LET US CELEBRATE

All reports from the Colorado river now are favorable to the early victory of the Southern Pa C1fic over that treacherous stream. The force of wOrkmeu has been greatly increased and the work has been pushed in a systematic manner all along the line. In all probability the middle of October will see the river forced back to It's old channel, the great break through which 1t has been rum ming closed and the water for this Valley taken out through the new cement and steel headgate at Hanlon's. The completion of this work will mark the most inn portant era in the development of this Valley that we have ever seen and that will be the restora- tlon of confidence. We all know how much has depended upon that work and how it must be done during the present low wat CT stage or Imperial Valley would go back to the desert. To delay this work beyond another flood season would destroy fifty mil ion dollars worth of property and bring irreparabIe ruin to all southeastern California. The completion of this work there fore and the averting of such loss and restoration of confidence and security iu this Valley is an event that we should fittingly celebrate. Nothing else that has ever hap pened or is likely to happen is to be compared in importance to this work that is now in sight of success.
 The PRESS believes such an event should be celebrated by a gathering of all the people and a general holiday made of the oC- caslon: AS the mastery of the Colorado is a matter of as much importance to the people of Mexi- co as 1t IS to us, the PRESS there fore proposes that the celebration be held at Calexico and made as international in it's character as possible. CaleXiCO has suffered and IS suffering from the effects of the floods of the past season and 1t IS well that those of us who escaped loss should go there and celebrate the great event and point the good people of that town to the great future which IS theirs. We propose that com mittees be formed in the various towns in the Valley and prepara- tions made to fttingly celebrate at Calexico the turning of the flood waters away from our Val ley and the return of confidence and security.

Paris is the inferno of horses" is a very old aphorism. French cabmen and carters have in general very little love for the horse. Many consider this wretched quadruped as a simple tool, a motor with four feet, rather than as a precious servant worthy of regard and consideration. Not day passes in the capital without one witnessing revolting brutality, often coupled with real stupidity. Eclair.
