Mr.. STOKES AS GOVERNOR.
T. w. Kelsey of Orange, Discusses Former
Executives Administration.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The efforts being made to condone Governor
Stokes's official acts will hardly improve his
chances for again securing political preferment.
His kindly interest in the corporations which havs
for number of years been the controlling factor
in New Jersey politics and legislation is too well
known. His entertaining and optimistic speeches
have not squared with his official record or the
appointments for which he directly responsible.
Few men have been more socitous for the welfare
o. the railroad and utility interests than has Mr..
Stokes. and the attempt to make 1t appear
that he did not favor the Hiery maximum tax
rate law and other measures passed directly for the
purpose of multiplying the practical workings Of the
railroad taxation acts and similar legislation is
transparent for serious consideration. Whatever
Governor Fort has done left undone may or
may not do does not in the slightest degree act as
a palliative for Mr.. Stokes's executive conduct
1t is that some of the present Governors
appointments have been embarrassing his friends
and humiliating to his supporters. But be u re-
membered that Sam Dickinson is still Secretary
of State; and Mr. Stokes neither eyade nor ex-
plain away that appointment, which has brought
such humiliation TO the people of New Jersey.
This act of Governor Stokes should alone be sum
cent to insure his permanent retirement private
life. In the opinion of many of his former sup
porters this is the inevitable result II is notice
able that the excuses and pleadings now being
