STOKES SAYS
1T WILL BE FORT.

Trenton, N. j.. Got. 80. Gov.
Stokes was asked to-day concerning
his views relative to the election of
next Tuesday. He said -
have no doubt of the election of
Judge Fort as Governor By a very
large majority. The Indications all
favor Republican success. Indeed, It
seams to me the prospects ale more
assuring this year than they were in
any of the previous gubernatorial
campaigns.
Judge Fort is making a splendid
impression. He is meeting the issues
sq1arely and courageously. His fit
ness for the Governorship by training,
experience and ability is universally
recognized and his strength is every
day increasing. TIE PEOPLE are aware
that for the last twelve years the Re-
publican party has been progressing
and enacted many important and ad.
vanoed reform measures
New Jersey will take no backward
STEP" the Governor concluded.
Judge Fort is an np-to-dare candi-
date in spirit and thought, and will
continue to add to the progressive
policies OF our State.

FORT STANDS
FOR BISHOPS BIML

Trenton. N. J., Oct. 30.-J. Frank.
lin Fort, the Republican guberuatorial
candidate, visited Trenton to-day to
meet some OF the wage earners of the
city. He took occasion to come out
again, even stronger than before, in
behalf OF the Bishops bill and against
the Democratic move for "open Sun.
days"
. His principal speech was at the
plant of the john A. Roebling Sons
Company, employers of 10000 wage
earners. Mr.. Fort told them If he
was elected he would he Governor of
the working man as well as the capt.
talist and that the working people
would be welcome to visit him at the
State House at any time, either in a
body or as committee.
MT. Fort was accorded an enthusi.
astio reception. Plunging at once into
the "open Sunday" issue he said -
1 believe the enforcement OF that
law has been beneficial and will con-
tinue to be beneficial. to every work
ingman ana every other man in the
State. The boon of having one day of
rest to spend with his family is

close study of the newspapers in
dloates that there is remarkable
unanlmity upon part of the press
regarding the outcome. There are but
few Democratic papers making any
claim for th6 election of Katzenbach.
Among the few who declare that there
Is prospect of Democratic Success Is
the Trenton True American and the
philadelphia Record. Neither paper
gives the slightest argument upon
which to base such conclusion. On
the other hand the Republican and
independent press unite in predicting
the support of Judge Fort They give
the figures that have been carefully
estimated as tc pluralities in this
| county and that. Ia the upper end of
the Stats the papers practically all
agree that the Democratic campaign
has gone to pieces. The Democratic
editors who had hoped for success
agree that Katzenbach's continued
lodging of the excise question has
brought disaster. Iu North Jersey
the open Sunday is the absolutely
overshsdow wing issue, and the fact that
Katzsnbach refuses to make any state
ment of his position upon that issue,
has lost him thousands OF votes.
That Fort will ba elected is one of
| tue things considered certain. There
Is difference of opinion as to his
| majority. There are these who argue
that it will be 10, 600. Careful esti-
mates fix it at Is, 900. Others figure
that he will have 30, 1000. One leading
New jersey official has no hesitancy
in predicting that the Fort plurality
will exceed that of Governor Stokes
three years ago.
There are a few Democrats here who
declare that they think Katzenbach
will be elected. There, are, however,
many mere VINO are frank enough to
say they do not hope for Forts defeat,
and do not think there is sny chance
this year for Democratic success.
At this time the concensus of opin-
ion is throughout the State that Kat
zenbach will carry four counties,
Hudson. Hunterdon, Warren and Sus.

HUNTING SEASON
DRAWING NEAR,

While the open season for woodcook
began October l, the cunning season
in New Jersey cannot be considered
in full way until November 10, when
all of the shooting on the game calen-
dar will be permitted for the balance
of the year. with the exception of
upland plover. the closed season for
which began October l. The snipe,
mudhen, reedbird and railbird, duck,
brant. geese aud water wild fowl
season opened September 1, while the
season for woodcock was a month
later.
On Novambsrl0 the season for hare,
rabbit, quail, partridge, grouse, Eng
lish or ringnecked pheasant, gray,
black and fox squirrels opens, and
until then the hunter cannot exnect 10
have a clear field. #
Many sportsmen have been invest
eating game conditions, and they re.
port little encouragement for a pro-
life season. There are but very few
quail reported. and much to the sur.
prise of everybody there seems to be
but few rabbits. Some of the Bridge
ton sportsmen have traversed the hunt
ing grounds over and they say they
find no evidence whatever of rabbits
or quail.
They cannot explain this except that
last spring was very wet and as rab-
bits have their beds directly upon the
ground. the young vera drowned.
At any rate there are but few in
Bridgeton who expect to enjoy much
sport this year.
The farmers owning large pieces Of
woodland have already posted their
land and are looking out for their
own interests. Many a farmer who
caters to the sportsmen holds his land
In reserve for his regular winter
boarder and derives his benefit In this
manner.
Sportsmen who have followed the
water wild fowl during the past
month or so report q fair quantity of
geese, duck and brant. The best
shooting has been In the vicinity of
Barnegst Bay. Snipe shooting is re-
ported good on the meadow yin the
vicinity of Newark.
