That New Jersey is a strong Roosevelt State will not be
denied by any person who has eyes to see, ears to hear and
intelligence enough to think straight. Take the cold, passionless
election figures of 1904. We all remember how great was the
effort to line up the voters in New Jersey on partisan lines.
And at such times we know how prone people ar to vote the
whole ticket (Which was the reason for aboishing Spring cleo
tions), when one is deeply interested in the head of it. With
all these elements conducting to a straight party vote Roosevelt
carried the State by about 80 900 votes more than Stokes. And
Rooseveit's plurality in New Jersey in 1904 was 79,166 more
than that of the Republican Assembly ticket last year. After
eliminating all the local causes that contributed to this showing
the fact stands out bold and clear that Roosevelt is intensely
popular in this State.

An overwhelming majority of the people of New Jersey
favor the continuance of the Roosevelt policies. They know
that the President has determined to retire and that those in
sympathy with him aud his ideas have selected William H.
Taft a $ the man to carry on the work 81 we'll begun by his
chief. 1t is betraying no confidence to say that Mr.. Taft
more than any other member of the Cabinet has been influential
in helping to shape and formulate the Presidential program.
Mr.. Taft has agreed to be a candidate, not because he wants
the office of President-his own desire and ambition is for a
place on the bench of the United States Supreme Court-but
because he has been told that it is his duty to lead the
Roosevelt forces. And the trust and corporation hounds are in
full cry after Taft, seeking by every known method to pull him
down and prevent his nomination.

Possibly it were better that National politics had not been
into our combat here But it is in now, and. that be-
ing so, let us have it out. Let us have a clear understanding
of what the election of Judge Fort means in regard to the
Presidency. If it implies the selection of a Taft delegation to-
the next Republican National Convention, why that ought to
mean the support of thousands of friends of Roosevelt and Taft.
If it means that the State, administration of New Jersey is to
be in the control of men hostile or lukewarm toward the
Roosevelt Taft policies, why we might better know it now than
later j M.

Now it is a conservative estimate that at least ninety per
cent. of the Roosevelt men in New Jersey are Tor Taft Most
of them would probably prefer to fight this years election in
New Jersey II State issues alone. but if it can be shown to
them that the vote in November is going to cut any figure in
the National election of next year, that is likely to make a big
difference.
Will the election of John Franklin Fort as Governor of
New Jersey be helpful in unfolding the hands of President
Roosevelt?
Will Judge Forts election clear the way for a Taft dele
cation to the Republican National Convention?
Where does Judge Fort stand as to Tafts nomination?
Where do his campaign managers, advisers and lieutenants
stand
On which side are Senators Kean and Briggs, Governor
Stokes, Ex-Governor Murphy and Senator Colby?

1t is all very we'll to appeal to the Roosevelt sentiment
and the Roosevelt vote, but there must be reasons and facts
behind the appeal to make it effective. The Roosevelt men in
New Jersey are not voting blindly. Probably many of them
are not at present taking a very deep interest in our State
campaign. but if they were convinced that the outcome must
necessarily affect next years Presidential battle their apathy
would disappear.
Would Governor Fort and those whom he will gather
around him use their power and prestige for or against Taft
Would they be found with the Presidents friends or against
them? This is the kernel of the whole business, and plain,
straightforward answers will clarity the situation.

Control of Hog Cholera.

Scattered outbreaks of hog cholera
are present in many sections of the
country. These outbreaks, and infect
ed yards as well, are the centers from
which the disease spreads. Another
important factor in perpetuating the
disease from year to year, is the feeding
of infectious material to hogs in order
TO immune them. Such methods of i'm
munization cause a light form of the
disease, the germs become scattered
about the yards and the health of
nelghbOring herds is endangered, says
r. \. Craig. author of Perdu bulle-
tin.
In neighborhoods where outbreaks of
hog cholera occur, stockmen should
practice such precautions as are nee
cessary against the spread of the dis
ease. This control work should not be
left TO the owner of the diseased herd.
When this disease occurs on farm
the herd should be Guaranteed and
all precautions taken against the
spread of the infection TO neighboring
herds. The diseased animals should
not be scattered over the farm, or al
lowed 10 run in yards that border on
streams. and hogs that have a chronic
form of the disease must be prevented
from straying away or mixing with
neighboring herds. Other farm ami
mails should not be allowed to run
through infected yards, or litter al
lowed to accumulate in the yards
The hoghouses. feeding floors etc.
should De cleaned daily and dlsinfected.
The most convenient and practical disin-
fectants TO use are the tar disinfectants
or stock dips. These may be used in

tons. The final cleaning up of the
premises must be thorough All litter

Paying Out More Money than 1t Is
Getting In-state Tax Coming.
According to a statement issued by
State Treasurer DAHL the State has been
running behind in its accounts during the
past year. The total receipts for the
fiscal year ending July 1, were S9,439, $40,
and the total expenditures $9,S3S.9S7.
The balance at the beginning of the fiscal
year was $1,65S,924 At the end of the
year this balance had been reduced to
$1,2T9,5Se. The general fund out OK
which the running expenses of the State
and many special appropriations are paid
shows total receipts amounting to 3d.,
122,3A and total disbursements of So,
800, reducing the balance from ST.
225.992 at the beginning of the year TO
S713,6SO at the end of the year The con-
dition of the finances of the State in view
of the many large appropriations made
by the Legislature this session make it
practically certain that there will be a
considerable State tax levied this year.
This is largely due to the fact that one
half the school tax was RENTED last year
in addition to the entire State tax.
