WASHINGTON, d. c., May 16.=
What it would be desirable to have
the entire infantry force of the New
Jersey National Guard come here on
October 16, to take part in the I'M
yelling OF the Mcclellan monument
is the opinion Of Senator Dryden. In
an interview he said:
81 hope it may be found practical
Bile to seHd theOfve regiments of in
fantry in accord with the request of
Secretary Taft, 1t will be an excel
cellent opportunity to mobilize the
infantry of the State, and, in my
opinion 1T Isl desirable that New Jer-
sey should have the best possible rep
r%esentation here for an occasion that
will be in honor OF, a former governor.
lit ought 10 ssHTe. as a splendid ad-
~vertisemeft for"New Jersey, and for
that reason, as well as others, it is
to be hoped- that arrangements may
be made to send all of the infantry.
1.-The state would not be left I'M
protected, for IT would have two
troops of cayalry, the signal corps,
and two batteries of artillery, and, in
the event of need, one or two regi-
ments of infantry could be rushed
home in about five hours from Wash
ington. l hope therefore, that this
imaginary fear that the state will
not be properly protected may not
interfere with the sending of the five
regiments. / do not believe there is
any danger in the temporary absence
of the infantry from the state"
William Nelson, of Paterson, sec
rotary of the New Jersey Historical
Society, has written to some of the
New Jersey congressman asking them
to support a resolution which pro-
vides for the publication of the
heads of families returned at the first
census in 1890. He says that the
names have never been printed, and
the original lists are becoming great
ly worn by constant use. He believes
the publication of the names would
be of benefit to historical societies
and students in general.
