urge the duty OF compliance with his
suggestions for an immediate settle
ment of the deadlock upon Charles f.
Murphy, the Tammany leader. and
William F. Sheehan. Mr.. Mason re-

The fight between the Prudential ana
the city started in 1909. when the COM
pany refused to pay the taxes on an
assessment of $14,623,279.S7 The assess
ment for that year was for $20,slo'-
$685. The company paid only on Sli'-
2e2. 1881. on the ground that the four
teen million and some odd dollars was
in excess of their assessment. Inc
company claimed that this amount IN
question should be exempt as well as
it's other liabilities and debts. =.
The disputed amount. the city sald,
is not reserve fund, but a deferred
dividend which. II given the policy-
holder. would be taxable. The County
Board of Taxation upheld the city
contention and then the case was taken
to the state Board Of Equalization OF
Taxes of New Jersey. which ruled In
favor of the company.
The Supreme Court had the case next
and returned verdict in favor OF the
CITY. whereupon Nthe Prudential took
the matter to the Court Of Errors and
Anpeals. which has just given its de-
cision.

On the stump or the platform the
Governor is very entertaining, for he
is exceptionally expert in dealing In
generalities; but today he must come
to particulars. Those who have had
dealings with the Governor say that he
is far from master of detail He is
described as being posted from a theo-
retical viewpoint, but helpless when
confronted by practical problems.
1t Is said that It is because of this
fact that the Governor is uneasy.
He must convince the Democratic
Legislators that the Geran bfn IL a good
Democratic measure He must recon-
ciie its many conflicting provisions. He
insult to the foreign-horn citizen. He
must show why he favors "A blanket
ballot when he is president of tbs
league which favors the short form.
Seeks Party Approval.
But his principal task will be to yS8
the approval Of Democrats TO a measure
which strikes at the old party. in the
clause relating to election officers, in
the clause which makes it easy for a
faction. by the petition of fifty, to put
an entire municipal ticket In the field,
and in the further clause which spreads
the names of the Democratic nominees
throughout a voluminous ballot.
Said one of the Legislators, as he was
about to go into the conference:
The governor may try TO prove that
the Geran btu Is ful1lment of Demo-
cratic pledges but he Will fall Most
of us know, aside from its purpose to
advance the ambition of the governor
that It is measure conceived by ons
who is always at war with democracy
with the object In view of building nm
new idea party on the ruins of the
older organization. The Democrats
party never pledged itself to enact any
such freak legislation"
Record Answers Criticism.
George L. Record shows that he is
deeply concerned in the bill by rushing
excitedly to its defense.
Replying to the criticism by Linton
Sitterthwait and other residents of this
city, Mr.. Record refers to the Geran
bill as the Wilson primary ana cleo
ton BILL He adds
THE Wilson bill is the product ~
the experience of men who have for
years been fighting crooked politicians
This is the time for all friends
of an honest election to stand together
behind the Governor and not fmperii
the whole reform by sticking out for
some particular detail. The fierce an
tagonism which the machine men die
play toward this feature OF the bill
shows plainly that they realize it's dap-
