CRAFTSMANSHIP?

In its Trenton correspondence to-day.
the New York Tribune says:
"Assemblyman Isaac T. Nichols,
who hopes to be the next Senator from
Cumberland county, said that if he
were nominated and elected be would
vote for Governor Fort for United
States Senator il he got into the
contest Assemblyman Nichols in
opposing the Stokes machine down in
Cumberland. He asserted that the
former Governor was not sincere in
his candidacy for United States Senator
and that the nomination for Governor
was his real goal. In support OF this
Mr. Nichols showed copy of the
petitions which Mr. Stokes is circu-
lating in Cumberland county. Demo.
Gratis, Prohibitionists and Socialists, in
addition to Republicans, he said,
were ignoring these petitions, whereas
the law requires that the signatures
must be those of members of the party
to whom the candidate appeals on
primary day.
when ex Governor Stokes was
asked about it he said it was not pro-
posed to file the petitions with the
Secretary of State. They were being
circulated, he said, to show that the
people OF his county wanted him to
be United States Senator.

THAT MEETING
OF COMMITTEE
Earnest Effort in the Election
of Chairman.
REPUBLICAN, HELP
A Strong Determination to Have
James Craig Succeed Himself
as Head of Committee.

Echoes of the Democratic Committee
meeting of Monday night were rever-
berating all day yesterday, and there
were some very interesting comments
among the Democrats who had Lee !
engaged in the contest which meant
the defeat of James Craig. of Vine
land for chairman: and the election
of Samuel B. Dunham, of MilIville.
Mr.. Craig. who has been County
Chairman for some years, was recently
appointed the Democratic member of
the County Tax Board. .Assemblyman
Nichols assumes the credit for the ap.
pointment, explaining that Craig had
done much for him politically. Former
Assemblyman Louis H. Miller also
advocated the appointment of Craig,
as did Gas Manager John franklin,
of Millville.
At a recent meeting of the County
Democratic Committee it was suggest
ed that Craig would have opposition
for Chairman. Since that meeting
there has been much work done to save
Craig. In Millville the Democratic
members of the Committee have been
urged by both Mr.. Miller and Mr..
Franklin to stand for Craig as they
feared it would be a reflection upon
his appointment il he was ousted
from the craftsmanship of the COM
mittee
At the meeting on Monday nigh~
Craig driven to desperation made an
open and somewhat violent attack
upon committeeman Samuel Iredell, of
this city.
S, A. Laning was prompt to defend
Iredell and his remarks to Craig, were
pointed and personal.
The final outcome of the meeting
was the bolting the meeting by Craig
and Herbert Bartlett and the election
of Samuel B. Dunham. as County
Chairman.

The Philadelphia Record correspon-
dence says
1T was expected that the activity
of former Governor Stokes in getting
his Senatorial petition out might bring
to a Crisis some of the ether candi-
dacies for Kean succession, but nobody
had word to say except Assembly
man Nichols, who came up from Cum
berland county to declare that Stokes
cannot possibly get the vote of his
home county. 1t was evident that
Nichols was not happy ever statements
that Stokes is popular at home. He is
sure the former Governor could not
be elected poundkeeper on the Republi-
can ticket.

Good Progress Being Made On North

soula- Great Falls Line.

Railroad work in Fergus county is
progressing rapidly. on the Milwaukee
at least. Considerable work has been
done on the line east of here and on
the branch line extending north into
the Kendall district. The main line
survey west to Great Falls, which
will run through Beaver Creek gap
and cross the Judith river some ten
miles below Hobson, has not yet
been completed. Mr.. F. M. Webster,
right-of-way man for the Milwaukee,
has about completed his work in this
vicinity and will move his head
quarters to Grass Range this week
and work from that point east, and
will likely complete the right-of-way
on through to Melstone some time
this winter.
The grading on the Mcdonald
Greek divide is nearly completed and
the grading camps are now located
on the Jackman place, just across the
divide. 1t has been given out by
those in authority that the roadbed
will be completed as far east as
Grass Range this fall.
On the north branch grading is be-
ing pushed along at most en-
couraging rate and it is expected that
this line will be completed this fall.
The graders are now located at the
summit and will cross Warm Spring
Greek at Colver's lane. The camp
was moved to this point this week
after having completed about four
miles of grading just the other side
of the fair grounds.
The Great Northern is still busy
buying right -of-way and expect to
have all the right-of-way through
Fergus county before attempting to
do any grading.
