ever be placed in the responsible posi-

this one. He, too, has beer a member
of the Plainield Common Council. He
was a Republican presidential elector
in 1896, and was secretary of the, New
Jersey electors in 1897.
He was selected by the national con-
vention, held last June in Chicago, to
be New jerseys representative or the

James S. Sherman. He has also, many
times, been a delegate to the city,
county and State conventions of his
party. Between times he has made
fourteen voyages to Europe and gone
around the world twice.
In 1907 he was appointed a member
of the committee to investigate capital
punishment, n toured several coun-

His browning triumph, however, came
when he introduced n had passed at
the last session the civil service law
