there is every reason to believe that

Trenton, n. J., March 3.-Governoi
Fort showed his determination to push

tions when he sent to the legislature
q message on this subject. He sent a

so that the big trusts shall not Cypress
the people.
In the first message the governor
outlines a bill which has been drawn
by the commissioners he appointed q
few weeks ago. 1t provides for hold
ing primary election for delegates
on the direct primary plan on the third
Tuesday in April.
The second message Is accompanied
by bill revising the corporation laws
of the state. Most provisions OF the
Jersey corporation law are defended,
and ii is asserted that the abuses In
corporations are not the fault OF the
present law. For the better protec.
ton Of investors in corporations, how

department of corporations be formed
with a single commissioner with pow
er over them. A part Of this power
Is conferred by a proposed section to
