Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1908-03-19

A verdict of mot guilty" in the Frank
lin township election bribery case last week
was almost to have been expected, no mat
ter what she evidence Good people may
not know it, but the political "lunch" and
all it implies, is not new method of in
fuencing voters in Gloucester County.
Years ago open treating over the hotel bars
was a potent method of electioneering; in
shat way partizan zeal was aroused and the
vote got out. Later quieter method was
employed and the wet lunch stage appeared.
This trial, even though ''not guilty" YER
dict was recorded, rings the death knell to
rum and cigars in politics. In this county
hereafter politicians must appeal to the
minds and not to the base appetites of tie
voters, if they would win.

Especial Correspondence.l

Trenton, March 1S-The feature of
this week in the legislature was the
defeat of the Crosby local option bill
in the house Tuesday after prolonged
and exciting debate. Many other meas
ures of Importance were considered,
and a number of public hearings were
given, but the greatest interest cen
tered around the Crosby bill.
The local option bill was reported in
the house yesterday, and the measure
was taken for final passage 1t was
defeated by a vote Of AZ to Is. The
principal amendment offered by the
committee eliminated any objection to
the use of fermented wine at COM
munion services in churches. This
amendment was adopted by 40 to II
votes. An amendment was presented
by Assemblyinan Fake providing that
the local option bill should take effect
when approved by a majority of voters
of the state at general election and
was lost after a spirited debate by a
vote of 81 to %. Assemblyman Hines
submitted an amendment providing
that the vote for or against local option
should not be taken within sixty days
of any special, primary or general
election. This amendment was also
lost by a vote of &c to 80 Another
amendment by Assemblyman Hines

Making Schools Safer.
One of the indirect results of the
terrible Collinwood school fire is the
rousing of the public school authorities

the larger cities, where the buildings
are often veritable fire traps, to take
measures for the greater protection of
the children from d similar fate. AT
Cleveland the schools have been closed
for two weeks, during which doorways
Will be altered and fire escapes erected
or repaired. Similar measures are be-
