Charles P. OtweN a Rara Avs as a
Politician IN Keeping His Promises
Hudson County Assemblyman
Does What lie Said Before
Election He Would Do.

lie crust and campaign promises
are, as a rule, made for the same
purpose-to be broken. That Is
not original, but it's true. It's a fail
ing with most candidates for office.
They figure out that if they are beaten
no one is going to ''calI" them anyway.
They can still go on telling what they
would have done if they had only had
he chance, and point out what a piker
he fellow who did get elected is.
If they do get elected it's too late to
do anything about it in case some of
the things THAI they have mentioned
as certainties contingent upon their
election slip their mind, and >then there
is the chance that by next election the
voters will have forgotten it and come
again. AS a rule, the candidates are
right. a voter probably has the short
est memory of IN living being in the,
animal kingdom, barring only the man
who has been elected on campaign
promises.
1t may not always be intentional on
the part of the candidate to make state
ments that he never intends to fulfil.
There Is a certain amount of excite
ment in saving the country from four
to ten times a night during a hot cam
paign, with your opponent trying to
save lit just a little bit ahead of you
each time. It's natural to beat him to
1t Ii you can. and not begin to think of
how you are going to bring it about
until the morning after election, when
1t doesn't pay to care any more.
Just now~the fashion is to boost the
laboring man. Everyone is at 1t. They
tell you how they value his rights
above their own well-being, and all
that kind of thing, but there are not
many who are jeopardizing themselves
any when they say it. All of which
simply proves that when a a does
make good on that kind of a PROPOSE
tiob he ought to get credit for it..
When Charles p. dwell. now one of
the delegation in the Assembly from
Hudson county, started campaigning
for the Office in the fall of 1906, he was

ELECTIONS BY ASSEMBLY DISTRICTS.

The eccentric Assemblyman Blauveh, of Pa@ic doesn't want assemblymen
to be elected by districts. He would retain the present plan of having the Senate
and House both represent the m electoral unit. If this proposition alone
was t be votedo IN therew would practically be no opposition, Men of all political
cteeds favo a return to the district plan of representation, N for obvious
reasons A county is as much diversified in Its interests as is the State. A
Legislature should represent the important interests in a State, the Senate those
of the large geographical subdivisions and the House the interests that belong
to each subdivision. BY the present elective ystem fr aSemblymen it would
be possible n Essex to elect eleven Newarkers to represent the county in the
Assembly, not me Of them, perhaps, having an definite knowledge of any
interest or senthnent in the rest of the county. The district systems sures rep
resentaton fr all sections and interests in a county. Again, the district system
is in ne with home rule Municipalities arc at the mercy of a State Legislature,
and they should have THERE own representatives 1t Trenton to protect them from
injurious legislation. Under the present system there is divided responsibility
for assenbymen. Responsibility is better defined under the distrcts system

some ideas about the working man..
None of them was very radical, but all
had a strong enough tinge of newness
about them TO make them worth while
in case they were eve put into prac-
tise. Whenever he got the chance he
told the voters about them n in the
course of time was sent to represent
the county in the House.
= That vas when the big surprise
came. AS soon as he was chosen he re-
signed his position with the railroad.
1t was a new one on every one. There
had been others who were just as en-
thusiastic before the votes had been
cast, but the idea of any one going
that deeply was unusual, to say the
least.
From then on he started out to do
what he could for the employees of rail-
roads and he has kept it up. Other
lines of labor have interested him, too,
but, having been connected with steam
railroads, he knew what was wanted.
This year he has introduced and had
passed a bill making the salaries of
railroad employees payable twice a.
month. What the Senate will do with
