Il have been absent from my homo

New Jersey. at the New Willard, last
night. and I confess that I was amazed

throughout the Southern country. The

tive as people in any part Of the great
West. About the railroad situation? The
business men Of the South as unit de-
plore the hostility Of the State admins
trations of North Carolina and Alabama
toward the Southern Railroad. They
seem to think, and rightly, that the par
ties at interest should get together and
adjust their differences. a thousand
miles more Of double track Southern road
in North Carolina and Alabama would
do those States more good than anything
else you can imagine.
Continuing, Mr.. Conover said: Il saw

advice of President Roosevelt the Re
publicans in my State are planning 10 get

that the effort 10 have Justice Mahlon
Pitney run for governor will be success
ful. Justice Pftney possesses more ele-
ments of strength than any other Re
publican in New Jersey. I am confident
that he would prove at least 5000 votes
stronger than any other man that sould
be named. In the contest 10 be fought
out next fall ! think the Republicans
should select their strongest man. Lo-
cality should not influence them in their
selection. II the strongest man resides
in the northern end Of the State I say
nominate him; if he halls from the South

my way of thinking, as I have stated,
Justice Pitney undoubtedly would make
an ideal candidate and receive a larger
vote than any other Republican. He does
not belong TO faction. and he would
