that James w. Mercer has only until
Thursday night to apply for a recount
in case County Clerk John r. Ramsey

FIRE MEN HURT
IN CORK PLANTS
SECOND BIG FIRE
Men Are Recovering from
Bruises Received When
Truck Oyerturns.

The three f1rernen who were injured
while on their way to the fire at the
Johnson -Manville Company at the foot
of Emmet street, which last night de-
stroyed two storehouses of the COM
pany and for time threatened the
entire plant. are slowly recovering
from their bruises, as we'll as from
the fright caused by their coal wagon
being run into by a Springfield avenue
car at South and Dawson streets.
The wagon was carrying a supply
of coal to the engines at work at the
fire and was overturned when struck
by the car, ;njuring Lieutenant An
drew McNichol and F1remen John
Ward and John Reh. Although they
were badly bruised they declined med
ical attention.
The fire started after O'Clock
in the storehouse filled with fine cork
used for insulating purposes. All
alarm was sent in by H. Davis, the
engineer, from the company's private
box. Several fire companies, under
Battalion Chief Morgan, responded.
FLAMES Spread Rapidly.
The flames spread so rapidly thai
Chief Morgan sent In a second alarm
bringing Chief Ashley and additiona
apparatus. The building in which the
cork was stored was frame struc.
ture and burned with q rush. 1t was
said this morning by Fred H. Leland
| superintendent of the plant, that the
| damage would reach $4,000. He added
that the fire was caused by sparks
from a passing locomotive. At th'
Salvage Corps the damage is estimated

This Is the second fire at the John

WOODROW WILSON
ON MAJESTY Of
BAR AND BENCH
We Create Deyilment, Judges
Cure 1t, Says Candidate
at Hudson Banquet.

JERSEY CITY, Sept. 21.&The bench
today in declaring that in Woodrow
Wilson the Democrats have brought
forth the strongest standard-bearer in
the State. This conclusion follows the
deep impression President Wilson
made upon his hosts, the members OF
the Down Town Club at their banquet
last night, commemorative Of the dedi-
cation of the new $3,0OO,Oo0 Court
House here.
Counselor Charles Z. Hendrickson. u
graduate of Princeton. and who Is also
member of the State Board Of As
SCISSORS, induced Mr.. Wilson to attend
the banquet. Covers were laid for ITO
guests. Supreme Court Justice Gilbert
Collins was toastmaster. and In addi-
ton to Mr.. Wilson, Counselor Frank
Bergen, Architect Hugh Roberts and
Arnold Drummer, one of the best known
architects in the country, made ad-
dresses.
Mr. Wilson's topic was "Architec-
ture." He was given an ovation when
he arose and call for three cheers for
New Jerseys next Governor" was
given a hearty response. After crack
ing what he termed "a few architec-
tural jokes" Mr. Wilson said in part:
Law and Order.
"Only those people who are ca
pable of order are capable of law.
Our courts may be imperfect and
some of our Judges are as all OF us are.
but the moment you f1out the instru-
mentalities of the law you fiout the
instrumentalities of progress. The
progress of civilization has been pro-
portioned upon the capacity of the peo-
pie for law and not upon their capacity
for revolution. 1t will never do for a
governing people to lose the feel
Ing for a legal polity. The character
istics of all self-governing people has
been poise. and when / think of the
process OF politics 1t seems to me that
the basis of politics In almost all In
stances is law.
"If you will think of It, what the
people are now clamoring for in this
respect is the correction of abuses and
the enactment of laws which are bet
ter suited to the circumstances of the
age"
In speaking of the law and the judges
Mr.. Wilson said:
Law is meant to bring order out of
society We create the devilment, the
judges cure It,"
Robert Davis and DIR. Wilson talked
while the Democratic candidate for
governor was waiting to be escorted
by the committee into the banquet hall
on the top floor of the trust building.
The conference had to do with poll
tics. of course. and the coming visit of
Mr.. Wilson to Hudson county was dis
cussed at length. The conference was
entirely satisfactory to both. Can
didate Wilson will open his cam
paign in Hudson county, making his
first political speech here In appreci-
alton of the Hudson County Democ-
racy, and he will be given a rousing
welcome.

PLAN TO RAISE FEE FOR
SLAUGHTER OF CHICKENS.
Health Board Would Restrict
Rapidly Growing Number.

Contending that application for
licenses to conduct chicken slaughter
houses are multiplying to such an ex-
tent that some check should be put
upon them, Health officer Chandler, at
last nights meeting of the Board of
Health, said he believed the fee for
such a license should be s25 instead of
81, as at present. Commissioners
Meeker went Mr.. Chandler one better
and said he was in favor of a $50 fee.
The matter was referred to the COM
mittee on laws and ordinances. and a
higher fee will doubtless be exacted In
the future. Three applications for such
licenses were granted last night, but
only after certain restrictions had
been agreed to by the applicants.
The board refused to grant a license
to conduct smokehouse at Sussex
avenue and Jay street, 1t being con-
tended that the district is residential

primary laws as will make the
decision of the people at the
elections and primaries easy of
expression and sure of execu-
ton, and that the election ma
chinery created shall be such
that at the primaries all contest
ing candidates shall be repre-
sented fairly and impartially,
and that by enrolment or other
wise the primaries of each party
shall be confined to the MEM
bership thereof. We favor the
election of all delegates to con-
ventions under the primary laws
of the State.
We heartily indorse the policy
inaugurated by the Republican
party of using all revenue from
automobile licenses for the re-
splendid system of improved
roads, and we advocate such
legislation with respect to auto
mobiles as shall be Just alike to
the automobilists and to the tax
payers of this State. and also
properly promote the reciprocal
relations between this and other
States with respect to the use
of their respective highways by
nonresident automobi1ists.
We favor the wise and bene-
ficial development of the COM
merce of the State, and to that
end we pledge ourselves to the
continuance of the policy Of the
construction and maintenance of
our public highways and inland
waterways, and we approve the
policy of Federal aid In the i'm
provement of our adjacent inter-
state waterways.
Fifteen years ago the Repub-
leans of this State, appalled, by
the widespread corruption un-
der Democratic administration,
placed the Republican party in
control, and have continued 1t
In power since that time. The
results have been greatly to the
advantage of the State in ad-
ministrative and legislative ac-
complishment, and demonstrates
the wisdom of a further con-
tinuance of Republican power
and responsibility.

has enacted into law a sane and
effective public utilities statute
for the proper regulation of
quasi-public corporations. 1t is
measure of regulation-not
of administration or contisca-
ton. It confers wide powers.
1t has been approvingly referred
to by the press of the country
as being the best exponent of
this class of legislation thus far
developed. The expense of the
commission created by it is
moderate, and in keeping with
the traditions of the State in
reference to such matters. The
new commission has begun It's
labors and is working smoothly
and effectively.
We favor a statute giving the
Public Utilities Commission the
power to fix just and reasonable
rates to be charged by public
utility corporations.
We approve the policy of CON-
servation announced by the
President, and we believe, in so
far as 1t is possible, the prin-
ciples which govern that policy
for the nation should apply to
the State
We believe in the principle
that an industry ought to bear
the cost of personal injuries
sustained In the business. A Re
publican Legislature and Gov
ernor placed the first employers
liability law on the statute books
of New Jersey, and they have
also provided for additional
legislation on the subject by the
creation of an active and eff
Client commission, to report by
bill at the next session of tho
Legislature. We pledge the party
to a passage of a law carrying
out the foregoing principle.
We believe in the enactment
of a civil service law that shall
provide for the permanent en-
ployment Of officials so long as
they discharge the duties of
their positions in a creditabie
manner, to the satisfaction .,f
their immediate superlors In
office.

vestigations relative to the establish
ment of classes for defective children.
The report showed that there are 2b2
mentally defective cfildren in the city,
including those who are blind, DUMB
and deaf.
Mr.. Poland made certain recommen-
dations for placing, these children IN
various schools to the best advantage
and the establishment of modern sys-
tenn of instruction for the blind.
The classes for the blind children
will probably be at the Belmont Ave-
nue. and Franklin schools. The College

defective children. the idea being to
select such schools as are In sections
where the greatest number Of children
so affected live.

The Republican party, in con-
vention assembled, heartily ap-
proves the administration of
President William II. Taft, and
we affirm our loyalty to the
President, who has brought to
the duties of his great office the
highest ability and loftiest
patriotism.
We commend to the people Of
this State the results of the<la-
bors of the Congress just ad-
journed, which has passed more
measures which contribute to
the benefit and development of
the country than any other Con-
gress since the organization of
the republic.
We especially commend the
tariff. The tariff question In
wolves three great principles
the development of American
industries and the protection of
American labor; a revenue to
provide for the expenses of the
government. and the making of
the United States Independent
as against the world for the
provision of everything that en-
ters into the question of na-
tional defense. The tarfff law
of the last Congress provides
for all these In ample way, and
as one of the immediate results
1t has changed a deficit of $751;
100000 into a surplus of $685.
100000.
We indorse the action OF
President Taft and Republi-
can Congress in providing an
expert and impartial perma-
nent tariff board to investigate
tariff schedules, with a view to
Just correction of any in
equalities and to relieve the
country from political tariff
agitation so disastrous to pros
perity.
We heartily indorse the ad-
ministration of Governor John
Franklin Fort, and approve the
wise, progressive and success
full legislation enacted by the
Republican legislatures during
the term of his office.
True to the pledge of three
years ago. the Republican party
