The nayoralty campaign got an early
start in East Orange last night. when
9 dollar tiinner was given in English's
by the West End Republican Club to
further the candidacy of Stephen w.
Oughtltree. the first to him
self an aspirant for the Office. About
e~ighty-fve were present and Mr.. Ough-
cltree received a fattering reception,
Samuel j. Blair vas toastnlaster and
gave the first talk. He spoke of the
need of a live Republican organization.
in which the ''stay-at-hoines" business
men could get together for the city's
interests. Whenever q club was pro-
posed in the upper part. he said, more
especially the second ward. the general
~supposition was that soTle had an
axe to grind. but the present club
would make its presence fe.t.
we now have a real live o~rganiZa-
tion.' continued the speaker, and we
are going to make q special effort to
get young men interested. Our second
idea is to give our entire support Ia the
candidacy of Mr., Ougheltree. | have
had q twenty years' experience with our
candidate, and never met a man more
interested in the affairs of the city. If
it should happen that he is elected. We
will all be satisfied with his administra-
tion."
Former Councilman Willis l.. Brown
ell followed and said ne wished he could
speak as he would like to. He also re-
ferred to Roosevelt's homecoming.
Speaking of Mr., Ougheltree, he told of
his thirteen years service as a member
of the City Council. and believed him
thoroughly conservative and always
sincere His long service. declared Mr..
Brownoll, entitled him to the office and
everyone would consider it an honor to
vote for him
Mr. OugheltreG, in response to the
calls for a speech. referred to the pres
eace Of the young men Of the Stage
Club. the first organization to give him
support. and warned his hearers that
tho time was coming when politics were
liable To enter into the affairs of the
city, and all should get together to pre-
vent it. Two years ago, he said, he was
urged to run for mayor, but decided he
could not give the necessary time to the
office: but when he got into cornmunica-
ton two months ago with those who
formerly wanted him TO run and they
decided to support him. he resolved to
enter the race. He promised az honest,

FAT WOMEN FIND
It HARD On Pine
BROOK STAGES
What Happened to One Corpus
lent Dame at Caldwell End
of Trolley Line.
BY hrs, GAD-A-BellY.

Fat. women cannot ride in the Pine
Crook stages. This WAS proven con-
clusively n few DAYS ago, when Il very
fat woman got OF a car at the Cald-
we'll line and attempted TO board one
of the stages that travels back and
forth from Caldwell to Pine Brook.
With one foot on The platform and her
head Just inside the door she stuck
fast. She pushed forward with all her
might, struggling desperately, hut she
could not push her bulk Of flesh
through the narrow doorway. and In
her vain ondeavor attracted the atten-
ton of a number Of ~by-standers.
The stage driver, evidently not relish
ing the idea Of one person occupying
the doorway for so long a time and
keeping several wouldbe passengers
waiting, jumped from his seat and
tried to push the woman in, but the
more strength he expended the more
tightly wedged she became.
BY this time the ~by-g+anders were
%onnvulsed with laughter and had moved
M closer TO watch the fun
X good-natured young fellow standing
neal thought he would lend a hand
and try to relieve the embarrassing
situation, SO jumping up over the front
wheel and passing through the stage,
he caught hold OF the wonnan's shoul-
dcrs, giving her n vigorous push That
dislodged her rather abruptly.
Tegaining her balance she slared
ferociously at the youthful offender and
almost shouted. "NNhat did yer want ter
do that for? Another push from the
back and I'd a been in. NJ III have
all mo hard work over acin."
At this the interested b~y-standers
broke into peals of laughter. BY the
time they had recovered themselves
the stage had filled up with passen-
gers that had come in on another car,
so the driver invited the fat lady to
a seat on the outside with him..

5. ORANGE STREET
ASSESSMENT PLAN
BEFORE The COURT

Argument was heard before Vice
Chancellor Emery today on the method
of assessing street improvements in the
village of South Orange. and at its
conclusion the counsel were asked to
file their papers and submit authorities.
The thoroughfares affected are Ridge
wood road, West End road Scotland
road, Charlton avenue, Vose avenue.
Randolph place. Raymond avenue and
Ralston avenue, and the proceedings
We're brought through Andrew S. Tay-
lor, representing Gertrude Adams, who
OWLS property on the two thorough
fares first named and las an assess
ment Of $500 against her on improve
ments.
1t was held by Mr.. Taylor, who also
represented property-owners on the
other roads and avenues affected, that
the method of assessment was uncon-
stitutional, as it puts the entire burden
on adjacent owners for 500 feet back,
while it should be shared by the com
munity at large.
On the other hand. William r. Howe,
counsel for the village, held that under
the law of 1881 the assessment was per
fectly legal.
Nice-Chancellor Garrison, of Jersey
City, recently sustained the demurrer
fled by the village of South Orange
and referred the matter for argument
to Nice-Chancellor Emery.
