JERSEY TOWN WINS FIGHT
FOR WINTER POSTOEFICE

among those mot voting.' However,
since it was not the Democrats fight,
although that party did unite with the
'~.insurgents' and made the victory over
the speaker possible, yet they could alb
sent themselves with better grace than
their colleagues on the other side of the
House.
When members OF the New Jersey
delegation were asked their opinion
relative to the B%allinger-P inchot con-
troversy and the proposed investigation
of the affair, general regret was ex-
pressed that the matter a been al
lowed to go SO far. 1t was thought that
1t would have been far better for the
party, and for all concerned, had it
been possible for the President to get
his two subordinates together and per-
suade them to agree upon something
that would have prevented an open rup-
ture. Now, it is believed, the contro-
versy that must inevitably ensue will
create bad feelings that will cause
trouble for some time to come.
Anthony T. Woo1ley. postmaster at
Long Branch. has been recommended
for reappointmcnt. The services of
Mr.. Woolley lave been very satisfactory
to the p~ostofflce department. which is
not disposed to make any changes
ever with presidential Offices, if the
incumbent is satisfactory to the de-
partment officials. Forrest Green, a
former member of tho Board of AL
dermer, would like to have had the
appointment. Mr.. Woolley, however,
had the Endorsement of the City Re-
publican Committee, and many of the
prominent Republican leaders as we'll,
and hence his recommendation was a.
%foregone conclusion. His name will
probably be sent to the Senate by the
President before the end of the week.
Alfred n. Dalrymple, chairman OF
the Essex County Republican Commit
tee, has returned to his home in New

county chairman. Naturally. Mr.. Dali
rymple is much gratifed with the re-
suit, although he is not making any
great fuss about it.
Representative Wiley, of New Jer.
sey, has won the enthusiastic COM
mendation Of the automobile club of
this city. At a recent meeting of that
organization resolutions were adopted
indorsing Mr.. Wiley's bin compelling
street cars and carriages in the Dis
trict of Columbia to carry lights
similar to those displayed by automo-
biles. The members of the club con.
end that this would lessen the danger
from accidents at night. Major Wiley
will press his bill before the commit
tee on District of Columbia, of which
he is a member.
The director of the census has ex.
tended the time for the filling of APP
plications for appointment as census
enumerators to January 81, 1910. The
supervisors of the census in different

on account of the smallness of the
compensation.
