II GOVERNOR AT THE WHITE HOUSE.

Not many moons ago Senator Colby took luncheon at the White House
and the incident ave rise to rumors regarding the Presidents intention 10
engage personally in New Jersey politics. The rumor subsidized, I'M 1t is noe
in evidence that the President either directly or indirectly, intTfered in af
fars in this State. Senator Colby will, it is understood, accompany Governor
Fort next week when he goes to the White House to dine with President
the vice-presdny, the conference will plan ito capture the New Jersey
delegates to the Chicago convention for either Roosevelt n Taft" But all
this and more, was to be expected. incidentally it is pointed ot as sig
macant that neither Senator Briggs nor Senator Kean has been invited to
dine. The exception. in fact seems to extend to all the New Jersey Re-
publican Representatives and to former Governor Stokes and David Baird,
Governor of a State without including in the invitation a whole brigade CT

The cause fol nearly all the delay in legislation lies in the committee, as
all bns must hrstg o to committee to be reported back to the chamber and

Committees are always slothn in their work, and they re also a a rule
susceptible to influences for or against a bill. If the committee favors the OPP
position the bill is not reported. The rule already adopted to compel a report
