HEARING ON BILLSSTART

Continued from page IL
there was no committee election, the
committee might be opposed to the
issue and SO LAY down" on the cleo
ton.
BlauveIt Speaks.
Some hard raps were given the
bill by former Assemblyman James
G.. Blauvelt, the strenuous Republi-
can progressive of Passaic county.
He declared many county committees
were nothing but gangs of politicians
and some of them had been schools
of political crime.
Governor Wilson suggested that
the speaker con1ne himself TO how
this bill will operate, as personalities
might lead to hard feelings.
Continuing Mr.. Blauvelt showed
that under the Geran law, If nc COM
mittee be elected this year many new
election districts will have no repre-
sentation on the committee. He in
sisted that members should be chosen
this year under the Geran law so as
to have the election pure, the new
members to take the place of men
whose chief duty has been to handle
corruption money, Ito do otherwise
would be monstrous," he declared.
He raped the provision that the
committee may expei members for
any cause. Both he and Mr.. Marelli
showed that this would permit the
bosses or machine men to get control
of the committees by expelling mem
bers on trivial pretexts and filling the
vacancies.
Governor Wilson suggested that
the fact that many new districts
would have no representation was a
serious objection TO the III. M:.
Pagan said the present committee
would appoint members for those
districts.
j. j. Clifford Speaks.
John J. Clifford, of Newark, head
of the Woodrow Wilson League, Of
Essex county, opposed the bill and
declared that nobody in Essex coun-
ty wanted it. Former Assemblyman
Horace Allen, of Hoboken, spoke in
favor of the bill and gave a sidelight
on the defeat of Frank S. Katzen-
bach, of this city, for governor in
1907. Allen said after hal election
he met an uncle of Katzenbach.
" What did you Democrats in Hud-
son do to my nephew" said the
uncle. Allen replied, Nothing,
only we did not get the full vote for
him; we were about 1000 votes shy
in Hoboken.'" Then Allen proceed
ed to explain to the governor that
the lack of votes was due to a red
hot factional fight over the county
committee. Let the election be
postponed for a year for the good of
the cause. AS Democrats, let us not
befog this issue this year when we
are to try a new law" was his fur
Their argument.
owen F. Gonlon. of Newark, op-
posed the bill. He declared that if
the bill became a law It would only
build up what has just been torn
down by the Geran law. William c.
Aspar, of Weehawken, a Republican,
opposed the bill.
Governor Wilson did not state
what he proposed to do with the bill.

NO NOMINATIONS ARE
FILED BY CAPE MAY

Trenton, June 5:-The total num-
Der of nominations filed with the Civ
IL Service Commission for the posi-
ton of election officer is 1885, &C
cording to the compilation COM
pleted Saturday by Chief Examiner
Gardner Colby. This total does not
include any Republican nomina-
lions from Cape May county, as they
have not been received by the com
mission, although Thursday was the
last day for the filing of nomina-
lions.
There was some talk at the state
house today that perhaps the inf1u-
ence of Senator Robert Hand, of that
county, was behind the delay in fl
ing the nominations. Senator Hand
once or twice during the debate in
the senate last winter spoke rather
contemptuously of "new-fangled''
legislation. When this was remem-
bered today there was some specu1a-
ton as to whether Senator Hand
proposed to ignore the civil service
feature of the Geran law.
Hudson and Essex counties, of
course, lead with the number of nom
nations. Hudson has filed 1880, of
which 908 are independent. Essex
county has filed 1884 nominations,
of them being Independent.
The total nominations in the other
counties are as follows:
Atlantic, 575; Bergen, 292; Bur-
lington, 800; Camden, 772; Cape
May Democratic only, SO; Cum
berland, 266; Gloucester, ia;
Hunterdon, 207; Mercer, 444; Mid
dlesex, 290; Monmouth, $50; Morris,
1881; Ocean, 121; Passaic, 845; Sa-
lem, So; Somerset, 1928; Sussex, 1885,;
Union, 449; and Warren, 1872.
