GOVERNOR FORT

TRENTON, Jan. 2s.-Herman B. Walker,
Colonel Alexander Fordyce. Daniel Fellows
Flatt, former Assemblyman Edward FL.
Wright, f., and Edmond Whittier, of the
Peoples Lobby of New Jersey, waited on
Governor Fort at the State House last night
and expressed their qualification at his re-
roTted stand in favor OF the election OF
delegates to national conventions of the
political parties by direct vote in open
priiuary and FOR his support Of the Austria
han ballet.
Governor Fort said he appreciated the
call, ana that he stood for the two propo-
sitions. He added that there appeared to
be serious opposition to the enactment OF a
law for the election of national conVen-
ton del9satpS iy ,iirpct vote.
The opposition to which the Governor
referred is that based ON statements eman-
ating from members of the State Republic
an committee. Chairman Harry S. New,
of the Republican national committee, In
his call for the convention, stated that
where there were State direct primary
laws, the delegates might be chosen In
that manner, rather than according to the
old plan in State conventions, There Is
doubt expressed now of the possibility of
a law passed since the Issuance of the call
applying to the delegates to be chosen

CT which would require a Supreme Court
j, stice to permit quo warranto proceed
ings to inquire into the failure of any

the requirement OF the Morris and
the Delaware and Raritan canals
under the provisions included in the
Lehigh Valley Railroad charter.
In a like manner the Pennsylvania
Railroad franchise would cover the
Delaware and Rarltan and allow 1t to
be converted to further the interests
of the Pennsylvania system.
Both canals have long occupied a
prominent place in the thoughts of the
railroads, and the Camden mans bills
would allow the fulfilling of certain
hopes long deferred.
Mr.. Bradley, later in the session,
introduced two more canal bills amend
ing the act of 1877. The first of thesa,
no. so, provides that the formation of
canal companies shall come under the
general corporation act of 1895. The
second. purrorting to be for the fir-
.therance of a ship canal project,
amends the act of 1877 for the forma-
ton of canal companies by repeating
the three-mile limit and extending the
width to $50 feet instead of 100 eect.
Among the first bills intro ireed in
the House last night was a civil service
measure from Professor Henry -.
