DR.. CROWTHER
SAYS HE is
A CANDIDATE.
Would Like the Nomination for
Surrogate But Will Abide by the
Action Of The Convention.
0FICHT FOR DELEGATES
Said Il Is an Open Race and the
Best Man Wins Every
Time.

DR.. Frank Crowther, today. stated
definitely to the NEWS that he is a
candidate for the republican nomina-
tion for surrogate and will remain in
the race until the county convention
has completed its work. He SAYS he
Will abide by the decision and will do
all In MS power to elect the ticket.
Dr. Crowther's name has been
mentioned so often in connection
with the surrogate nomination that
the NEWS sought to get a definite
statement from his as to how he
stood. DR.. Crowther had no hesi-
fancy in admitting that he was out
for the nomination. He said any
thing that is worth having is worth
going after and he saw nothing
wrong in any man seeking higher
office in the gift of the people,
The nomination is an open race
Anyone who would like to have the
place can run and let the convention
decide, is the way the doctor puts it.
He said he had talked with Will
liam Carman, who is mentioned as
likely candidate, and Mr.. Carman had
declared that he was not actively
looking for the nomination, he stated
that he had not asked a delegate to
vote for him and did not intend to.
The fight DR.. Crowther is putting
up is not of the kind that will split
the party. He says he has not asked
a, delegate to vote for him, either,
but he has been told by several dele
gates that they were for him and he
has told them he would be glad to
have their support. AS to having
rival delegates in the wards where
the delegates named are believed to
be opposed to him, DR.. Crowther says
he would not do that, as he was
against that kind of politics last year
and thought no better of it today.
In a nutshell, Dr. Crowther says
his position is simply this: He would
like to have the republican nomina-
tion for surrogate; he does not hesi-
tate to let the delegates to the county
convention know that he wants it;
he will accept it if they nominate
him, but will work just as hard for
the ticket if they nominate someone
else. He is willing to leave it en-
tirely to the convention. In the
meantime, he is after the nomination.
Regarding the criticism that he
has had enough good things from the
party already, DR.. Crowther says all
he has had was the assembly, and
that cost him many times more than
he got out of it. At present he is on
the county tax board, but is willing to
give it up if anyone can show that
they are more entitled to it. That is
the extent of his office holdings. At
the same time it must be acknOwl-
edged that DR.. Crowther has given
valuable aid to the party.
DR.. Crowther thinks Perth Amboy
should have the surrogate this year,
as it has been a long time since the
surrogate came from this city and
Perth Amboy is now paying about
One-third of the county taxes. He be- |
lieves Peter Daily, the democratic
choice, can be beaten.

TO RAISE PRICE
OF MILK HERE.

Milk will soon be sold for ten cents
quart in this city within week or
two according to several milkmen in
terviewed this morning.
r. H. Porter said that the local
milkmen have talked of raising the
price for some time. The increase is
due both to the dry weather and the
high prices of other things. Mr.. Por-
ter says that the public can hardly
expect milk to be sold at eight cents
per quart when oats, which cost only
eighty-five cents a bushel few years
ago, now sell for $1.65.
Eugene Hope says that the increase
in price will take effect soon

YACHT CLUB
REGATTA WAS
BEST IN YEARS
Rariian Yacht Club Achieves Dis.
tInCt Success With Two
Splendid Races.
9 SPEED POWERBOATS.
KeyportEntries Win-Two Railway
Boats in Merry Chase in
CatbOaf Race.

The regatta held by the Raritan
Yacht Club yesterday afternoon was
one of the most successful held in
this vicinity in years. Several mem
bers said that more successful re-
gatta has never been hald under the
auspices of the club.
A feature of the regatta was the
speed powerboat race. Nine of the
fastest boats in this vicinity were en-
tered and the race was one of the
prettiest ever seen here. The sea
was so rough that only four of the
boats finished, some of the fastest
being unable TO stand the pounding
of the waves. The prize went to a
Keyport boat. Van Syclkle's and
TOft's were the only local boats to
finish. The two Keyport boats were
given handicap of three and half
minutes and were never overtaken.
Watts finished first, with the Artful
less than a half-minute behind. The
race between these two boats was
close all the way
OF the local boats John A. Milli-
ken was given a fve-minute handi-
cap. The sea was too much for him
and he dropped out on the second
leg. Androvette, Van Syckle, Toft,
O'Hagen and Zehrer started off to-
gether. Androvette's boat, which
was one of the best in the race, drop
ped out on the second leg when his
gasoline tank fell. O'Hagan and
Zehrer also succumbed to the heavy
waves, leaving only loft, Van Syckle
and the two Keyport boats to finish.
Ballard, of Sewaren, who was given a
fifteen minute handicap, was over
taken, and he dropped out Van
Syckle and Toft finished third and
fourth respectively.
The catboat race was also excit-l
ing. Only two boats, the Tempest
and the Just-Woke-Up, of Railway.
entered. The boats are old rivals
and, as usual, were together most of
the time The Tempest finished
three minutes and fifty seconds in the
lead. AS it was handicapped three
minutes, it defeated the Just-Woke-
Up by only fifty seconds.
The statistics of the races are as

THE TAX RATE IN THIS
CITY DROPS TO |.72
A Decrease Of II
Points from 1906
Figures.
SCHOOL HIGHER

Clerk w. A. Spencer, of the County
Board of Taxation, announced this
morning that the tax rate this year
will be 1.72, seventeen points lower
than last year. This drop is due to
the great increase in the assessments,
this city alone having an increase of
over $4,000, 900.
The city and county rates are both
lower than they were last year. There
is a slight increase ia the state school
tax rate.
The following table shows how the
rates this year compare with those
of 1906.

Honesty Al--speaI Privileges


A whole week at Panocea Springs
last week was our lot, and It did more
to rid as Of h grippe and that ''tired
feeling" than ali else we have expert
mented with for months. The boating
was excellent, fishing just good
enough, the fare ali q reasonable one
might wish, the manager Of the hotel
obliging and sll his help polite, attez-
tive and accommodating, and all the
guests pleasing, entertaining and social,
while the cottagers and all the regular
residents were Just charming. MIR.
Thos. H. Hall, Miss Mary Hall and
Mr.. Hayward Hall, the owners OF the
popular resort, were there too, and
Hon. J. d. Cay and his excellent wife
and popular son, ]. ID. Cay, Jr;, were
at their cottage. while Mr.. and Mrs;
ID. NJ. Lutz, the Misses McGriH and
friends were at the McGriff cottage,
and about eighteen Gadsdenites were
occupying the Gwynn cottage at Rock
Landing. Among the pleasant guests
at the hotel whom we can now recall
were Mr.. A. l.. Wilson and son, of
Quincy; Mr.. H. w. Warwick, of Ha-
vana; Albert Shaw, Mrs. A. w. Shaw,
Miss Olivia Shaw, Mrs. j. H. McJenk-
ems and ]. N. Jones, of Quincy; c.. N.

city; Mr.. Myers, of Pelham; Mrs. J. c.
Caskill and son and G. E. Parker, of
cambridge; while Mr.. and Mrs. d. NJ.
Lutz and their guests added much TO
the life and pleasure of healthful Pan
acea, one of the very best resorts on
the gulf coast for rest and fun;
and we will not close this without mem
tioning the courtesies and pleasant mo-
ments Captains Mooring, Metcalf,
Wilson and Chaser gave us, all of
whom own trim motorboats and carry
fishing and bathing parties whenever
and wherever they wish to GO
Mr.. Hall has recently sold several
more lots, and preparations are being
set on foot for the erection of some
new and additional cottages, and Mr.:
Hall is now having erected by good
force of hands new saltwater bath
house and bathing place that will not
be surpassed by any on this part of the
coast So If you would rest nicely,
sleep well and get an appetite that
will make you eat, just try our last
medicine and take a week or more off
at Panacea. The joke Of the season,
though, is on Doc. Council, but you
must get Capt. Fem to tell it, or Joe
Duval will do it, for the jovial, tricky
captain has put him on TO 1t.

THE LEGISLATURE
AND COMMENTS.

WHAT DID 1T ACCOMPLISH?


Outside Of a few papers, whose edi-
tors were members of the legislature,
the press of the state Is unanimous in
the sentiment that the late gathering
Of representatives accomplished less
and made the most pronounced failure
generally Of any that ever drew their
per diem per day" at Tallahassee.
1t is useless for any Of the interested
defenders to raise the cry Of Corpora
ton" against those papers that voice
the honest indignation Of the people at
the lack of accomplishment and the
neglect Of the public's business that
characterized the late unlamented le0is-
lature. The protest comes from too
many quarters-is too general among
the known advocates Of the peoples
rights-for any such calumnies to have
the slightest weight.
Are nine out of ten country papers
Of this state corporation sheets?" Is
the Pensacola Journal, in which an
peared the most scathing arraignment
Of the legislature we have yet seen, 4
corporation paper? Is the St. Peters
burg Independent, whose mildest COM
ment on the gathering Is that cit was
about important a session as the
monthly meeting of the village trus-
tees, a corporation paper?"
And II it be meant TO intimate that
the Lakeland News is a corporation
paper, we submit its record and chalr
lenge a comparison with any who dare
10 make the insinuation The hands Of
it's editor are clean, though not for
lack Of opportunity to soil them with
the filth Of corporation Golfers. Can
some of those who at this late day are
raising the Corporation" clamor truth
fully claim as much2
When we reviewed the work of the
legislature, 1t was with no feeling Of
personal animosity towards any Of It's
members. Some of these are known
10 Us personally as men sans peur ct
sans reproche. To no individual mem
Der do we impute any more unworthy
motive than, perhaps, desire for self
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT ut the public expense.
But the cold, incontrovertible fact re-
mains that the work of the legislature
as q whole was q disappointment.
What was done 70 benefit the people
Of the state as whole?
II lavish appropriation of the peo-
pies money and an increased tax rate
DC the SymOOS OF bIhLeBmAnSnlp ana
patriotism, then these qualities were
in evidence at Tallahassee.
But there were certain things that
the people wanted-that everyone was
agreed upon as necessary 70 the States
progress and welfare; and these things
were neglected outright, or, If given
any consideration at all, were speedily
relegated to make room for measures
Of the most questionable expectancy.
The tombstOnes of such measures as
the temperance amendment, the coed
roads bill and the immigration bill
serve for the record OF legislative
omission, a pile of puny, insignificant
local bills stand as a monument to the
legislative achievement.
There is naught of malice or UNI
kindly feeling that causes US TO set
down these Things. Nor is it our wont
70 preach two sermons over one poor
corpse. But we have seen ascribed
unworthy motives because of our legit-
mate criticism of the Legislative body;
hence these few incongruvial remarks
