Mr.. Marion brought his comparies.to
Newark to get into shape for the sea-
son., because at this time of the year
every hall, theatre and attic in New
York is being used for this purpose. and
he has found that by means of the ex-
cellent transportation facilities he can
more easily reach this city than some
remote part of Manhattan.
Almost from boyhood Mr.. Marion has
been a member of the theatrical pro-
f~ession, n most of the time he has
been a buriesque star, He has met with
phenomenal success. largely owing to
his own particular line OF humor.
There is not another man on the bur-

popularity than he does, and there IRE

Everett Colby, of Essex, and Others tc
vote with the majority of their parti-
ans for tho reelection of Mr.. Dryden,
the name of Mr., Briggs, then State
treasurer, was put before the caucus
and despite the continued opposition of
Mr.. Colby he was chosen on February
!. Mr.. Dryden's friends insist that
they will support him next fail for the
Senatorship and that he will win out.
He is not inclined to discuss the sit
uation thus early, but should he feel
that the sentiment for his return to the
activities of Washington official life is
so strong as to warrant such a move Mr.,
Dryden may be expected to respond to
The all and consent to be a candidate.
Mr.. Dryden will not be the only Es-
sex man who will be in the running
should victory be with the Republican
party. Former State Senator Colby has
confessed to his friends that he is am
bilious to be United States Senator,
that be hopes as the elimination of his
public career to go to the upper branch
of the National Legislature. In this,
he will have the powerful support of
his New Idea organization, the League
for Limited Franchises and Equal Taxa
tion.
He declined to be a candidate before
the Legislature of 1907, but his friends
gathered from his talk then that he
would at a later date ask their uppor
He is the father of the law, since enact
ed, which permits some form of popu-
lar expression of choice for United
States Senator at the primaries, and
should that measur be operative next
year, he may submit his name to the
voters of his party.
1t is worth while to stop a moment
and consider the Colby law. 1t pro-
vides that when candidates for State
senator or Assemblyman go before the
voters they may declare their inten-
tons in relation to the United States
Senatorship should they be elected to
a Legislature that is called upon to
choose a Senator. In the fall that
Legislature which will choose a Sena-
tor is elected. Men who arc ambitious
to go to Washington may have their
placed on the primary tickets
of their respective parties by following
out the procedure of the act. The can

nomination declare that If elected they

PORTABLE WATER PIPE.

In cleaning the slush off the pave
ments of Buffalo, n. Y. in the spring,
the cleaning department utilizes n line
of iron piping, carried on small trucks,
the wheels CT which are twelve inches
in diameter. Each length of pipe is
carried Of two trucks, and the ends Ct
the pipe are connected by short lengths
of hose, thus securing flexibility and
making it possible to turn corners. The
reason given for such a device is that
such work is destructive to regular
fire hose, as the lengths would have to

BAIRD BOOM LAUNCHED
Candidacy a Topic at Shore
Dinner Given in His Honor
Last Week.
NEW IDEA FOR COLBY
Dryden, Fort, Griggs, Stokes
and Others Not to Be Left
Out OF Consideration.

Politicians who nave been talking fol-
80 long about the successor to Unite
States Senator John Kean.'' presumine
that the Legislature chosen next yeai
will be Republican. are missing some
thing if they do not take into eonsid-
GRAFTON as the very probable successor
none other than Mr.. Kean himself.
The senior Senator from New Jersey
Is by no means certain of being re
turned to Washington for another six
years, but he has. in addition to the
strength of the others Who would like
the place, the prestige of long service.
At the dinner given in honor of David
Baird, of Camden, at a famous res
tauNant on the shores Of Deal Lake
last week the topic besides the Gov
ernorship was the Senatorship. There
were some among the little gathering
OF big men who were unable to see the
certainty of Republican victory at the
polls next year with the present division
Of sentiment continuing both as to
party leadership and the character of
legislation demanded. Proceeding on
the premise that the party would have
the Legislature, however. it developed
that there were many who will have
to be reckoned with when the time
arrives for the selection of a candidate
to be voted for by the party caucus OF
the Legislature.
Baird Would Accept.
Mr.. Baird, who once before had a
strong following in a party caucus for
the Senatorship, feels that If the place
were offered by a majority of his parti-
sans in the Legislature he could not
refuse it, and as time goes on the
sturdy veteran whose South Jersey
leadership is credited more than any
enc thing with the sensational snatch
ing of Republican victory from the
Jaws of defeat in 1867 may be expected
TO gain strength.
But North Jersey will not stand idly
by and let South Jersey walk away
with the Senatorship, as it did in 1907.
VIXEN. to prevent the Democratic
minority and the party insurgents from
winning out, it was necessary to accept
the candidate of South and Middle
Jersey, Frank Q. Briggs. as the sue
cessor of John F. Dryden.
Former Senator Dryden, who went be
fore the voters as a candidate for re-
election in the fall of 1906 when the
Republicans were in the majority on
Joint ballot. felt that he had won de-
spite the Democratic victory in Essex.
Unable to persuade State Senator !
