necessary to hire expert railroad law-

paid a tribute to Terry Parker and
other lawyers who had given much of
their time to preparing the cases
against the roads and asked the mem
bers to do all they could to raise a
sufficient sum to win the fight. Terry
Parker gave a brief summary of the
work which has beer done in the rail-
road cases and backed up Mr.. Marshall
in his plea for funds. Mr.. Marshall an

PATSY HAS HIS TROUBLES
WITH DADDY AND TRAIN

After the train had passed over him
Patsy scrambled to his feet and ran
as fast as he could straight ahead.
When he could run no longer he lay
down. Employees of the stove works
found the dog, which is only a year
old, and seeing Mr.. Hartenstine's name
on his collar telephoned the Morris
town police, who got word of Patsy's
whereabouts to his master.
Mr.. Hartenstine went after Patsy
and found that he had not escaped un-
scathed. One ear was missing, his back
badly scraped and his head, which
originally was white, was d~is1gured
by a big patch of grease and coal dirt
around one eye. But Patsy was tickled
to death to see his master and nearly
wriggled out Of his skin to show 1t.
His injuries were dressed and Patsy
was put asoak to rid him Of some of
the CRIME. Next time Patsy will stay
and fight it out with his father, it is
thought.

COMMUTERS METE
OUT PUNISHMENT
TO REPUBLICANS
lndorse Nominees Who Pledged
Utilities Bill, Forty=four of
Whom Are Democrats,

Punishment for their failure to vote
melted out to the Republican assembly,
men who are seeking reelection last
night by the New Jersey State Com
muters' League, which met in the Gas
Orange City Council chamber. The
league unanimously Endorsed the fol-
lowing assembly candidates: Frank p.
Shalvoy, Newark; Mark F. Phillips,
Newark: John J.. Bracken, Orange; H.
T. Backus, Caldwell; Charles w.
Brown, East Orange; James E. Mylod,
Glen Ridge; W. P. Macksey, Newark;
Frank A. Boettner, Newark, and E. D.
Balentine. Newark.
The resolution indorsing the Demo-
cratic candidates was introduced by
Robert Odgen, and read as follows:
Resolved. That the Commuters
League of New Jersey, in meeting as
sembled in East Orange. favors the
election of the following persons in
Essex County who favor the enactment
of the public utility bill prepared by
the league and who have signiied their
intention of supporting such a bill when
introduced in the Legislature of 1911"
President Marshall went over the
work accomplished by the league since
its formation, and added:
1.-THE last batch of letters we sent
out after the primaries TO candidates
who had been chosen by :heir parties,
and we have been very successful in
the replies we have received. Out of
eighty-three letters sent to candidates
for the Assembly and Senate and to
the Gubernatqrial candidates we have
received ffty-ive favorable replies.
Both the Gubernatorial candidates
have expressed themselves as being IN
favor of the bill.
Forty-three of So We're Democrats.
"Of the other f~fty-three answers re-
ceived forty-three were from Demo-
Gratis.
There is only one real issue in this
campaign, and that is whether the
railroads are going to control the peo-
pie of this State. All other issues
circle around this one. The Commuters
League has been responsible in bring
ing this issue before the people and in
forcing both parties into stating that
they stood for the rate-making powers
for the Public Utility Commission.
Both Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Lewis
favor what we want, but when it comes
to the present Z Assembly delegation,
then 1t is a different proposition. We
have their joint letter in which they
state h a a measure to give rate
making powers to the commission
would be unconstitutional. During the
present campaign, however, these same
