TRENTON VOTES FOR
COMMISSION CONTROL
First City in New Jersey to
Adopt Governor Wilson's
Plan.
NEARLY 1000 MAJORITY

Celebration, with Leading
Men in Parade-Party

Trenton. y. j.. June 20-The most re-
markable campaign ever waged in this
city ended to-day with the adoption of
the provisions Of the Walsh bill. which
will give Trenton a commission form of
government. This is a measure warmly
advocated by Governor Wilson before
and after his election.
The result was Il distinct surprise.
Within the last few DAYS only the most
optimistic advocates held out hope for
the plan. but the returns tonight
showed that there We're 6.792 votes cast
in favor Of il and 1850 against it. This
gives a majority Of 1872
According 70 the provisions Of the bill.
# was necessary for the measure to get
al least 80 per cent OF the vote at the
last general election. This would be
800. The total vote cast was about 20
per cent Of the regular vote which is
considered wonderful here for d special
election.
Trenton Is wildly enthusiastic tonight
and the Commission Form OF Govern
ment League had a big celebration after
the result Of the election became known.
This is the first city in the state to
adopt the plan. Some OF the city's lead
ing men paraded tin. streets and con-
sidered it a personal victory. They have
given their time and money for several
months agitating the commission form
of government. and now that it has won.
in the face Of the combined opposition OF
the machines Of both political parties and
the brewing interests, they felt that they
had the right 10 celebrate.
The adoption OF the Walsh bill means
that in four weeks there will be pri-
mary for the selection Of candidates for
the new commission of five members.
and four weeks from that time there will
be an election. Then the governing plan
of Trenton will be changed entirely. The
Walsh bill provides for the initiative.
referendum and recall. The Common
Council, the Board OF Health. Police
Board. Fire Board. Water Board. Park
Board-in fact, all boards, with the ex-
go.
Instead Of these separate bodies the
five commissioners will devote their en-
tire time TO the city work. at "A salary
Of s.. 900. with $500 for the Mayor who
is 70 be one OF the five commissioners
on August 30 the city will be turned
over 10 the commission.
The campaign has been a bitter one
with The Trenton Evening Times"

sonalities have been INDUCED in. and
only yesterday The Times sued The
Trenton Sunday Advertiser" for S23. 900
and was in turn Sued by The Adver-
tiser" for $4,000
The attitude OF Governor Wilson also
helped the cause. He spoke at a big
mass meeting here last week. and MS

tide which set in against the movement
All party lines were broken in the CON

As matter Of course at the Christmas dinner
(as on other occasiohs) the table was waited upon
by slaves. who did duty as house servants Two
were allotted to each guest. so that quite num-
Der were required. All of the eatables had to be
fetched considerable distance, the kitchen being
detached from the mansion. with which 1t was
connected by covered way.
At the houses of the great Virginia families at
that period it customary for the slavesto wait
on the table in their ordinary plantation garb
But at Mount Vernon many things were on
scale of exceptional luxury, and the negroes who
performed such service were clad in Washing
tons own livery Of red, white and gold which
was handsome and striking.
One may suppose, then that the conversation at
the Christmas dinner more than ordinarily
entertaining AS a matter of course, everybody
was hungry for, according to the custom of
those days. there were only two meals-breakfast.
which was early. and dinner The necessity for
supper was removed by great proongation of
the dinner, at which each person was expected to
eat all that he or she possibly could. In fact. 1t
was the duty Of the hostess gently to persuade
her guests to gorge themselves to repleton. while
the host made 1t his business to press wine and
other turntables upon the men to an extent which
In these times would be considered most Inn
prudent.

So far as they were concerned. the prohibition of
stimulants was much more strict than 1t is today

how copiousy the men mbibed AS for the lat
