the distinguished members of the ex-
ecutive committee of the State Repub-
lican committee met at the home of
State Chairman and National Commit
teeman Franklin Murphy in South
Broad street yesterday afternoon for
the purpose of considering the issuance
of a pronunciamento in support of
President Taft and his administration
and as a prop to the Republican House
of Representatives and Senate.
1t was agreed unanimously that such
an address should be made to the people
of New Jersey, and State Chairman
Murphy viii prepare it in cooperation
with his associates in the very near
| future. Naturally the address will deal
| with the State as well as the national
political situation.
President Taft and his associates
have sent out cry for help and stimuli
taneously the national Republican Con-
fgressional committee has made an ur-
| gent appeal that there be action here
to prevent, if possible, Democratic gains
in New Jersey.
| Governor Fort was without an ag-
gressively friendly supporter in the
gathering. Privately it was predicted
that there would be no Endorsement of
the State administration by Governor
Fort when the convention that is to
nominate Republican candidate to sue
ceed him meets next September. This
has been a pet plan of some of the
State leaders, scheme for what they

the position will be taken that it does
not increase the cost of living or add
taxes to the necessities Of life.
1t was reported that the Republican
National Congressional Committee, OF
which Congressman Ha1sJ Loudensla
ger, of the First District of New Jer
sey is secretary, had sent out more
than 100000 pieces of mail matter sc
far defending the tariff legislation and
the record of Congress.
Prosperity will be the cry raised in
Jersey. 1t is claimed that industry has
been stimulated and that under the
Taft administration business has i'm
proved and that the country is more
prosperous today than it has been in
years.
When the question Of the possibility
of special session of the State Legis
lature to enact a public utilities law
with rate-making provisions was dis
cussed, one of the executive commit
teemen declared that he didn't believe
Governor Fort knows what he is going
to do. The members were not pleased
at the prospect of q special session.
The gathering might have been q
trial heat for United States Senatorial
aspirants. Among the starters in that
great triennial handicap present besides
the host were United States Senator
John Kean himself and former State
Assessor David Baird, Of Camden The
absence of former Governor Stokes
another Senatorial aspirant, was a
source Of surprise and some comment.
The absence of Mr. Stokes is taken to
indicate that the breach is widening
between the men who are so anxiously
pursuing the elusive job which John
Kean has SO graciously filed for over
five years.

mentioned. The business session was
preceded by luncheon, served at one

hour after luncheon, and the meeting
was over before four o clock, and the
former Governor s political guests were
gone.
