for me to say that my voice is for

better state of affairs than has existed
on earth at any time since Cain slew
Able.

stantly In this movement. There
is every reason why We should do
SO. Our geographical situation de-
Tended by the sea on the east and
west, with friendly neighbors on the
north and south together with i'm
measurable wealth an vast population
constantly and rapidly growing faster
pregnable. With friendship for all
nations and entangling alliances with
none and no desire to encroach upon
any nation, we have no selfish mo-
tives; but with sincere desire to
promote the happiness and wefare of
the human race, lead in this generous
undertaking"

The half a dozen firemen who work

resent them in Che Supreme Court.
That lawyer said today that he
would go before chief Justice Gum

brought under chaper 81 of the laws
of 1911.

Finally, a young man, slight of build.
took Mr.. Kraft gently by the arm and
suggested to him hat the best way to
settle the matter was to retire. He did
so. Somebody had telephoned to police
headquarters for a police officer to help
keep the hall cleared.
One Policeman Responded.
One policeman came. He comprised

this morning. M violence
was offered to Mr.. Kraft, who sat down
on the piazza for a time, after leaving

was over and Mr.. Kraft had subsidized
Mr.. Howard Carrow, of Camden, Of
fered a motion to declare the chair
manship vacant, which was seconded
by Mr.. Daniel F. Platt. of Bergen

motion another to make Mr.. Edward
E. Grosscup, of Cumberland, the State
chairman, but after some discussion
the matter of selecting a new chair
man was dropped and 1t was decided
to hold another meeting on August "a,
at the Hotel Sterling, Trenton. Thir-
teen votes were recorded in each case

1t was learned today that after
sending his letter repudiating Mr..
Kraft to Mr.. Nugent, Mr.. Davis did
give a proxy to Mr.. Kraft. The proxy
was given yesterday morning.
William d. Bloom, of Hunterdon, said
after the meeting that Mr.. Nugent
would have no show with the commit
teenen present no matter what might
have been said in his behalf. He pro-
fessed personal friendship for Mr.. Nj
gent, but declared that things had
,,'been so framed up" that the com
