.DEPEW, CAY IN DEFEAT,
TALKS OF HIS CAREER
New York Senator, Doomed to
Retirement, Has Passed 81
Years in Political Harness

NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-Apparently
unruffed by the fact his career in the
United States senate has come to an
end, Senator Chauncey NJ Depew sat
in his library today and talked of his
fifty-four years of political life that
practically ceased on election night,
when a Democratic legislature was
chosen.
"I am the happiest man in the state
Of New York" he said. II am II years
of age, ! have been fifty-four years
actively in politics and l think l can
say that my ambitions have been rea-
sonably satisfied. During the last
campaign I made sometimes two
speeches a night, once talking for half
an hour or more in the rain, and the
next morning my voice was in as good
condition as ever. My health is good,
and my desire of years, to be happy
myself and share that happiness with
others, has been fairly well satisfied.
Il was fairly certain that the Re-
publicans would be defeated, for the
change in the vote that elected Foss
in Massachusetts,, HaVens In New York
and Plaisted in Maine was so nearly
the same that there was no doubt that
the country was up in arms

Two thousand students, led by a
band, paraded the city by torchlight
last night, winding up at midnight by
serenading their college president, who
appeared at window and bowed his
thanks. In response to the chorused
request for speech, DR.. Wilson said:
COUNTRY LOOKS FOR LEADERS
1.-THE present time Is the chance for
every one of you. A college man
should know the history of our coun-
try and be acquainted with its politics.
The country is looking for leaders, and
regardless of party will support the
man the people have confidence in. The
present election is a national awaken
ing which is not confined to New Jer-
sey. Americans have turned with Sc
rious purpose to the betterment or
politics. They are going after special
privileges until they no longer exist.
at realize the duties which 1 and
the legislature will have to face, but
1 am encouraged by the confidence
and support of my friends. We will
serve the people to the best of our
ability. 1t is the duty of all public
men to try to unite classes instead of
separating them"
DR.. Wilson walked down to the field
house and spoke to the football team
after the parade had left. He said
they should play the game for the
games sake, not merely to win. He
thought the new game better than the
old, for it was not so brutal and called
for more brains.

FOR MISLEADING LABEL

CHICAGO, Nov. 10.-Mrs. Gervaise
Graham was fined $50 and costs by
Judge Lands in the federal court yes
terday, on plea of guilty to having
misbranded hair tonic. The label read:
Guaranteed to grow hair on bald
heads" and then under instructions"
1t read: Rub in the roots of the
hair"
Judge Lands asked for an explana-
tion of roots on a bald head, but none
was forthcoming. The prosecutor told
the court that an analysis of the prod
uct showed that it did not, and per-
haps could not contain the necessary
elements to bear on the statements
contained in the label.

GREAT MANY CHANGES
The Entire Form of Government
Will Undergo a Change When

spec ecial Correspondence to the Pioneer.

Special Correspondence to the Pioneer.
Millville, May 3.-The census COM
pleted here last Saturday will show a
population of $4,000. That is the es-
innate of those who have been follow
ing the work of the enumerators.
Certain it is that the population will
exceed $4,000, which will make Mill
Vile second class city.
The fact is Millville in population
was city of the second class in 1905.
The actual census of that time made
the population little more than 12,-
900. Influential interests here at that
time had the Genus pared down and
the figures were officially pronounced
as 1884. Millville was thus kept in
the third class.
But hereafter Millville takes its
place as city of the second class,
and there will be so many changes in
the local government that it will for
time be difficult to keep up with the
changed conditions. Practically every
provision of the obsolete charter will
be wiped away. No longer will the
policemen be constables. No longer
will assessors and collectors be elect
ed by wards. There musr be regu-
larly constituted officials, including a
comptroller, a solicitor elected by
City Council, Mayor with some au-
thority, and ordinances that will COM
ply with the statutes of New Jersey.
All of the municipal methods must be
changed to comply with the new order
of events.
Millville will be far better offeas a
result. There will be change FROM
the present slip-shod methods.
corporations will not be con-
tented as heretofore, but they have
controlled affairs long enough.
Many people here have already
suggested that thes city adopt the
provisions of the Bridgeton charter
law for Millville.
