FOR VICE PRESIDENCY

such nomination, and whose nomin-
alton would greatly strengthen the
party in this state
Resolved. that it is the intention
of this committee that the delegates
elected to the ensuing national con
vention should endeavor by all avail
able means to secure the nomination
of Governor-elect j. Franklin Fort
as the candidate of the republican
party for the Office of Vice President
of the United States
1t was pointed out that if ].
Franklin Fort should be nominated
as Vice President and elected he
would not assume Office until March
4. 1909, one year and two months
after his Inauguration as governor
of New Jersey. 1t was also pointed
out that if nominal ted no criticism
could be attached to his acceptance
of the honor, inasmuch as a preced-
Ient was established when Governor
John W. Griggs was called as attor-
ney general TO the cabinet OF Presi-
dent Mckinley a few months after
his inau guration.

TO Be LARGEST
IN The WORLD
Work Started On
New Standard
Oil Plant.
NEAR RAILWAY

Having cut into the oil trade of
Europe. getting the greater part of it
away from the old companies which
had for years controlled the output.
the Standard Oil Company has begun
the erection of monster refinery in
New Jersey. The new plant will be
the largest in the world, one section
of It covering almost a thousand
acres. 1t will turn out more oil pro-
ducts than any of the sixty plants
now owned or controlled by the COM
pany.
The big refinery will be built in
sections. The first, which will con-
tain stills for turning out 10000
barrels of refined oil daily, will be
completed before July next.
Ground for the erection of the first
section of the plant was broken a
few days ago, and within few
weeks $500 laborers, bricklayers.
and ironworkers will be employed.
The new plant will be erected be-
tween Elizabeth and Linden on the
shore of the Staten Island sound
In time the plant will extend from
Elizabeth TO Railway. 1t will be the
company's main plant, and its pro-
ducts will be shipped directly from
the Jersey coast to every part of the
world where oil is used.
Although the Standard Oil Com
pany now has in operation more than
5000 miles of pipe lints, it will be
necessary to construct many thou
sands of miles more to bring crude
oil to the new plant from the fields
OF the West and South, reaching as
far as Indian Territory
In addition 10 the pipe lines, the
plant will be fed by two railroads,
The refined oil, parafine, gasolin,
and other products turned out will
naturally add to the shipping prob
lem. The Standard Oil Company at
present charters shundreds of vessels
for carrying freight abroad, although
the company itself owns seventy-two
monster ~ Ink steamships and
twenty-five ca. steamships. A hum
dred more ro~ INK steamships viii
be added 10 ! fleet, as the cost
of shipping oil by tank is less than
one-half the cost of shipping by bar
rel.
The company now employs 11.OOO
men. Dut will be compelled to engage
1,200 more TO work in the first sec
ton of the new plant as soon as this
is completed. For the first section
contracts have been awarded for sup
plying l 900 tons of iron platework.
$1,000 tons of sand. $4,000 tons OF
broken stone, and 100000 brick.
The company also intends to in
stall new trunk pipe lines, so that
branch reineries in every part of the
United States may be supplied direct
" with crude oil.
Other plans are under way, 1t IS
said, which in time may result in
bringing the centre of the oil indus
try of the world to New Jersey, where
the Standard Oil Company is incor-
porated. As result of these plans
many of the subsidiary oil corpora
tions controlled by the Standard may
be dissolved.
