WHY LICENSE
IN BRIDGETON?

IF the women of Bridgeton could vote
there would be no license for Bridge
ton. There would be little need of
making a campaign for license if the
wives, the mothers the sisters, the
daughters, could vote. And if there
any merit in woman's suffrage it is
advanced most prominently when tie
excise question is before the people.
In many places the women are per-
mitted to vote in public school matters.
And the women vote intelligently, too.
They understand very much what is
demanded in the education of the
young.
But in matters of excise, women
could vote and vote not only intelli-
gently, but right. And if they did the
feminine vote against any license sys-
tenn would be at least 9s per cent OF
the womanhood of Bridgeton.
They would vote against bar in
Bridgeton to attract their boys, to en-
snare their husbands. They would
vote against legalizing business that
sends their husbands and sons home
under the influence of intoxicants.
They know what drunkenness means.
They know the heart throbs, the sor
rows that are in the homes where there
is drunkenness. They know how the
prick of want follows the spending of
the wage at the bar They realize how
they must patch and darn, deprive
themselves of necessities, to eek out an
existence when part of the clothing
and bread money is handed over the
bar to. give Bridgeton better hotels
for the entertainment of the travelling
public.
The women of Bridgeton experienced
the benefits" of license not SO many
years ago. They remember how some
of the men journeyed from one to an
other of the fourteen bars on Saturday
nights, and if they escaped arrest,
were led home by couple of good fell
lows and pushed through the door in a
state of wretched intoxication. They
remember how their hearts ached as
they helped the unfortunate to bed, and
realized that the money that had been
carried down town for pair of shoes,
some underwear. a basket of groceries,
ETC., had practically all gone to the
bar, and none Of the needed things had
been supplied. Many of these women
remember how they suffered the dis
grace of having their husbands and sons
locked up as disorderly characters, and
how on Sunday morning they were
obliged to dig out from the secret place
the little money boarded to pay the
rent. and take it to City Hall and pay
the fine and costs to keep the husband
or son from going to Jail.
good husband has gone away from
home during the license times, fell in
with companions, started drinking and
began a debauch that continued for
week-sometimes longer. These women
do not forget all they suffered from the
abuse of these men, nor do they forget
how they had to skimp and spare, to
work their fingers to the bone to get
provisions of some sort for the family,
while the man was not earning cent
for all the time he was off on his
drunk.
It's all right for some men to talk
glibly about voting for license because
it would help the town. tmay satisfy
some men to say that the town must
have license so that we can have good
hotels for the strangers who come
here.

NEWS NOTES OF POLITICS.

While there is a growing indepen-
dence upon the part of the people, it
cannot be said there is less partisan
ship. Men are Republican and Demo-
crat from principle. Some are Prohi-
bitlonists and some are Socialists.
While they are strong in their party
political convictions, it may be said
that there is fal less prejudice and
blind partisanship than ever before.
Men nowadays won't vote for men
simply because their names are upon
the party tickets. The people now de-
mand that the men they vote for repre-
sent something more than a mere
political party.
Here in Cumberland county the Re-
publican party, as an organization, is
fortunate in having most satisfactory
ticket The candidates on the Repub-
lican ticket his fall were not named by
the dictation of any set of leaders or
by Convention of delegates who did
| not follow the demands of their con-
stituencfes They are candidates be-
cause they are the choice Of the Re-
publican voters of the county. For the
first time in the history of our politics
every candidate now on the ticket ap-
| peared as candidate for the nomina-
tion at the primary held in everyone
of the thirty four precincts Of the
county. Every Republican had ample
and fair opportunity to express his ap-
proval or disapproval',of the candidacy
The men upon the ticket now were all
approved by other candidates at the
primaries. Each of the present candi-
dates received large plurality of the
votes cast at the Republican primary,
and very large proportion of the Re-
| publican vote was cast at the primary
The Republican ticket is made up in
Cumberland county this year exactly
as the big majority of the Republicans
OF the county wanted it made up, just
as they directed it to be made up
That is why Dr.. John R. G. Thompson
is the candidate for Surrogate. That
is why George W. Payne, of Millville,
is the candidate for Sheriff. That is
why Isaac t. Nichols, of this city, and
B. Frank Buck, of Millville, are candi-
dates for the Assembly That is why
Henry Maier, of Bridgeton, is the can
didate for Coroner
Other Republicans presented their
candidacy for each of these offices.
There were two named for the
nomination for Surrogate; four for the
Assembly nomination and two for the
nomination for Coroner The Repub-
licans selected those mentioned above.
The voters of every precinct in the
county took part in the selection The
result cannot but be satisfactory to
every voter who believes in the princi-
pie of majority rule.
Now within less than fortnight of
election day the Republican candidates
find the political situation in Cumber-
land county most satisfactory. In no
part of the county is there disposi-
tion to criticize the candidates. The
reports from every section is to the
effect that the ticket will be generally
supported by the voters of the party.
The high character of the candidates
is appealing to voters of the minority
party and there is assurance that the
Republican candidates will have a
number of Democratic votes.

The Afternoon Witnesses.

Mr.. Wells was recalled to the stand
at the beginning of the afternoon ses-
sion. Court was compelled to wait
on him few moments. as he and
Sheriff Schrader were laboring to re-
move the shells from the gun.
Mr.. Wells said that the morning af-
ter the gun had been given him he
went with Sheriff Rutan and Mr.. Webb
to the place where the latter gentle
men said the gun had been found. This
was in wooded spot, between the two
forks of Roger creek. Mr.. Wells, in
describing the spot, was several times
interrupted by Judge Hilton. who OBJ
iected to what he claimed were con-
clusions of the witness.
Mr.. Wells then referred to the
sash taken from the office at Pandora
which was entered as as Exhibit Il.
and pointed out in the lower sash the
hole of the bullet He also showed to
the jury. as Exhibit f. the shattered
pane of glass through which the shot
had been fired. 1t was in a frame
pasted together on heavy paper The
bullet holes We're clean cut; the glass
had been badly shattered, but was
carefully put together again. Exhibit
G, brought by Mr.. Wells, was a large
photograph of the Office building at
Pandora.
Mr.. Wells was then turned over to
Judge Hilton, aIvl Immediately his
suave, calm manner changed; his
answers We're short and crisp. There
is no love lost between Mr.. Wells and
Judge Hilton. Mr.. Wells said he di-
rected the preparation of the photo
graphs and plats.
Did you tell Mr.. James how the par.
ties sat around the table that night
with Mr. Collins?"
Yes. l believe | did"
From what source did you learn

That is all for the present" said
Judge Hilton. And the battle between
the chief of the prosecution and the
chief of the defense was then post
poned for time. But Mr.. Wells will
later be recalled. and then it is ex-
pected there will be battle royal

out on the photograph, Exhibit C,
the various buildings, roads and trails
mentioned in the case. He then de-
scribed how he had ascertained the
spot from which the shot that killed
Collins must have been fired, by
sticking a pencil in the shot hole and
sighting along it. The spot so desig-
mated was on the trail, between co
and 20 feet from the window.
Mr.. Wells stated that the sash in
which was the shot hole was in
town, and, as it was then noon, an
adjournment was taken in order that
Mr.. Wells might secure the sash and
bring 1t to court

SHARP TILT OCCURS.

What was really the first gun i'm
the fight for and against Steve Ad-
ans was fired late this afternoon,
when Judge Hilton for the defense
and II. NJ. Hogg for the people
hurled defiance Mt each other, each
charging that the other was trying
unprofessionaIIy to influence the
minds of the jurors.
The tilt occurred while Willard w.
Runnels was on the stand for the
people. He was expected to testify
70 certain statements alleged to have
been made to him and to Bulleley
Wells by the defendant when they
two brought Adams back to Colorado
from Idaho.
Mr.. Hogg had just asked Mr.. Run
nels what it was that Adams had
said to him, when Judge Hilton
leaped to his feet with an objection,
and then proceeded, in rasping, cut
ting tones, to score the state for at
tempting to introduce the defend
ants confession before its admissi-
bility had been passed upon by the
court, thus prejudicing the minds of
the jury. He paid his respects to
the manner in which the confession
had. as he said, been eXtorted most
shamefully from Adams. He de-
nounced in unmeasured terms the
whole proceeding concerning Adams
arrest and Incarceration, as a dis
grace to American Jurisprudence.
AS soon as he had finished, Mr..
Hogg was on his feet with ringing
defense of the course pursued by the
state. He denied that the question
just asked the witness involved the
celebrated confession; but" he said,
eve are ready to go into the ques-
ton of the admissibility of that con-
fession whenever it suits the defense
to do So" And he said that the
state would prove that every state
ment made by Judge Hilton concern
ing the manner in which that confess
sion was obtained was unqualifiedly
false. Mr.. Hogg denounced the de-
fense for attempting to discredit their
witness under the guise of an objec-
ton to a course of questioning.
Judge Shackleford decided to take
up at once the question of the admis-
sibility of the confession, though he
said he was inclined to believe the
question asked by the state of the
witness on the stand did not involve
that question and was proper. But
the jury was dismissed until tomor-
row afternoon at . o'clock, and the
court took an adjournment until to-
morrow morning at g. At that hour
counsel will argue the question OF
the admissibility of the confession
1t will be hot fight, and it is quite
possible that the arguments may con-
sumo more time than that allotted
by the judge.
The defense said they were ready
to take up the argument yet today
but the state asked for an adjourn
ment, and the defense made no OBJ
lection.
Mr.. Selig, in requesting the ad-
journment, said he thought time
could be saved by giving the state
time to get their arguments in shape.
The daily sentinel., 1908-07-07

Mr.. Blaney then described several
of the company buildings close by;
said the night was dark, except for
the stars, and said there was an in
candescent light on the tram tower,
not far from the house. There were
a number of incandescent lights burn
ing in the parlor.
who lit those lights?'
Il don't know
Mr.. Blaney said that Mr.. Collins
was at the house when he came to
get the mail that evening, and he was
invited in to play cards.
Was this particular chair pointed
out to Mr.. Collips?"
No"
did anyone call Mr.. Collins at
tention to the lifted shade?"
No"
What was said before the shoot
ing, while you were playing?"
don't remember"
There was considerable asperity in
Mr. Blaney's replies to Judge Hilton's
questions, and an angry light in his
eyes.
How much longer did you remain
in the employ of the Smuggler-Union
after the killing?"
about four years"
Mr.. Blaney was then excused.
Willard w. Runnels was next
called. He is city marshal of Tel
luride. He said he had known Steve
Adams for some time. He met him
in Idaho on May 81, 1906. near the
little town of Orchard. At that time
Thiele and Eugene johnson were
present with Steve Adams and Bulke-
