A resolution providing for the clcc-

by the House committee on election
Of President. The resolution which
was introduced by Mr.. Noriss Of Ne

ship of the house four years instead
OF two. Both propositions are to be
accomplished by amendments 10 the

Reason why the term Of members
should be four years are stated to be
because no party can inaugurate its

Americas Schools Are Closed Until
New Years.

The 1000 pupils of the Americas
public schools are now reveling in the
pleasures of a twelve days vacation.
This is the most pleasant holiday in the
school year. Not only does 1t mean a
rest from study, but it is the time when
the heart overflows with love and kind
ness; when the good old Santa Claus
calls upon his many chums and glad
dens their hearts with Christmas greet
ings. OF course, a good average in be-
havior is necessary to the visit. AL
though OF longer duration, the summer
holiday does not offer so much real joy
to the average school child.

States Senatorial boom of Col. e. "A.
Stevens, of Hobken, was formally
launched in Essex County The auditor
ium was packed with thinking people and
the Colonel, who was the principal
speaker of the evening, was greeted with
much enthusiasm. Though laying but
little claims to oratory the Colonel won
the admiration of the great audience by
his admirably expressed views on the
questions that are agitating the nation
today. His reputation for patriotism,
widsom honesty and integrity are as well
known in Essex as it is to the people or
Hudson. Notwithstanding the fact that
he is a man if vast wealth he told his
audience plainly and bodily that he would
have nothing to do with any corruption
fund.- policy in politics. He promised
to give an accurate accounting of all
money spent in his campaign.
Il will not spend any more money"
''he said" than any man of comparative
" moderate means hould spend.''
Charles c. Black, the Democratic
standard bearer in the last election for
Governor. was among the list of able
speakers. He discussed State and Nat
ional questions and showed his hearers
the great Importance of sending Demo
cratic delegation to the Legislature to
elect man Of Col. Stevens ealibre and
patriotism ito the United States Senate
as well as to pass laws in he interests
of the whole people of the state. He
said that DR. Woodrow Wilson,. presi-
dent of Princeton University, 4of which
he, the SPEAKER, was graduate, was out
of the running in the Senate campaign
and he eulugized Col. Stevens.
Jacob Haussling, the candidate Tor
Mayor of Newark; DR.. Charles F. Krae-
mer Democratic Congressional candi-
date; ard other well known speakers adj
dressed the audience and lauded the Col
onel's many virtues. The meeting was
presided over by Former Sheriff William

tdafes on the Democratic ticket would am
nonnuce their preference for Woodrow
Wilson United States Senatorial candi-
date. The committee quoted a letter
from DIR. Wilson in which he declared
that he would not be q candidate. An
other letter from DIR. Wilson's secretary
was quoted tothe effect that DIR. Wilson's
decision not to run as Senatorial cam
didate was final.

In his speech Mr. Hearst said:
1.-THE corporation candidate of the cor
poration party is touring. the state dis
coursing on sincerity. AS an example
of his own sincerity he declares that he
is not a corporation lawyer because he
does separate jobs for the corporations
and does not receive yearly retainer.
In other words, he is not as much of a
corporation lawyer because he serves
several corporations as he would be if
he merely served one corporation
7 After criticising Attorney General
Mayer and former Lieutenant Gov
ernor Woodruff, Mr.. Hearst denied pos
itively that he had ever, directly or in
directly, employed Chinese labor, as
charged by some of the newspapers op-
posed to him.

tonight. The candidate is accompanied
