LOCAL OPTION
HAVE TICKET
To Nominate independent
Men in MiddIesex and
Four Other Counties.
ASSEM- ely CANDIDATES

Newark, Oct. 5:-Loca1 option
leaders of the state have decided to
place Independent legislative capdi-
dates In the field in Ave counties at
the coming election. These counties
are: Middlesex, Monmouth, Bur-
Hngton, Morris and Union. The first
two are generally considered this
year as in the doubtful column and
Burlington is considered debatable.
AS the local option vote is drawn
largely from the republican party,
this move may have important ef-
fects, especially in those counties
which are SO close that a couple OF
hundred votes one way or the other
will change the whole result. 1t is
believed that it's general effect will
be to increase the chances of elect
ing a democratic legislature.
The decision to make an indepen-
dent fight was reached at a meeting
in Newark Of the executive commit
tee of the Anti-Saloon League. The
discussion brought out a unanimous
expression of opinion that the time
had arrived for the local option
forces to show to the republicans,

ties where the independent fight Is
to be made.
In Middlesex county the local op-

Morris county the temperance candi-
date got 1,780, as against $500; in

Make Life There Joyous and Bar Out

Whatever your lot In life, keep Joy
with you, says Orison SWEET Marden
in Success Magazine. 1t is a great
healer. Sorrow, worry, jealousy, envy,
bad temper, create friction and grind
away the delicate human machinery
80 that the brain loses it's cunning.
Half the misery In the world would
be avoided If the people would make
a business of having plenty Of fun at
home instead Of running everywhere
else in search of it.
Now For Rest and Fun" mo
Business Troubles Allowed Here"
These are good home building notices.
When you have had a perplexing
day, when things have gone wrong
with you and you go home at night
exhausted, discouraged, blue, instead
of making your home miserable by
going over your troubles and trials
Just bury them. Instead of dragging
them home and making yourself and
your family unhappy with them and
spelling the whole evening, just lock
everything that Is disagreeable in your
office.
Just resolve that your home shall be
a place for bright pictures and pleas
ant memories, kindly feelings toward
everybody and "a corking good time

surprised to-see how your vocation or
business wrinkles will be ironed out
In the morning and how the crooked

ON JERSEY POLITICS

The following comment on the
New Jersey state republican eonven

which Colonel Theodore Roosevelt is
a contributing editor.
THE republican party in New Jer-
sey has smaH use for progressive
policies or for progressive candi-

sentative from New Jersey in the
present house, Mr.. Charles N. Fow-
Ter, has been defeated for renomina-
ton; but In another district Mr..
George l.. Record, a leader oil the
New Jersey ~progressives, has secured
a nomination. The proportion Of
regulars and insurgents in the New
Jersey delegation, therefore, IL the
republicans are successful in every
district. will be unchanged.
The state convention last week
nominated for governor, by an over
Whelming majority, Mr.. Vivian M.
Lewis, the present State Banking and
Insurance Commissioner. His chief
opponent, Mr.. William P. Martin the
candidate of the pregressives. re-
ceived only 115 votes in a convention
of 972 delegates. Mr.. Lewis is a

which, with the exception of one
plank, was depressingly
