REPUBLICAN
CONVENTION

Trenton, September 12.-United
States Senator Frank o. Briggs, issued
call today for the Republican State
Convention to meet in this city, Octob-
er 3, the same date as the Democratic
convention under the new Geran cleo
ton law. The steps for this conven-
ton have not been worked out, for
Senator Briggs agrees with Attorney
General Wilson that the present COM
mittee is not in line with the new
Geran law.
Not being elected under this law. it
is the opinion of Senator Briggs that
the committee is not eligible to par
ticipate in the convention If the other
members of the committee, which
meets in Newark, Thursday, concur
in this view, the committee will likely
only arrange the place and other pre-
liminary details, leaving the rest to
the convention.
The hold-ovar Republican Senators
will likely take the initiative in the
real convention plans.

THE SAVINGS IN
POSTAL BANKS

The officials of the Bridgeton post
Office have been surprised with the
amount of savings that have been al
ready deposited in the postal bank
which is operated under the post
Office department The local officials
We're of the opinion that there would
be few minor deposits received at the
postal banks, but there have been
many deposits aggregating a consider
able sum of money. The depositors
are class of people generally who
have never familiarized themselves
with national banking institutions or
trust companies. Much money has
been deposited by the foreign element
that is employed here. The simple
system in vogue makes it easy for
people to deposit small amounts.
All of the money received by the
postal Savings department is placed
in the Cumberland National Bank,
which has been designated as gov
ernment depository.

effect that the State Committee as at
present constituted having been chos-
en- prior to the enactment of the Geran
Law, would have no part in that con-
vention, but only such committee as
may be chosen at the coming primary,
or primaries of other years, will take
their places as part of that body. The
convention this year will therefore
consist simply of the Governor, the
hold-over Democratic Senator's and
the party candidates for Senator and
Assembly. For the Republicans it will
be constituted the same way with the
notable exception that it will not in
clude Governor.
1t was noticed that the members of
the committee present relinquished
the honor without sigh. The con-
vention merely has to frame and adopt
a platform and that can be done in
four minutes. The platform for the
Democrats is already written. 1t
needs but restatement of the things
Woodrow Wilson promised to do, a
recital of the things he and free
Legislature have done and a mere al
lusion to the effort of the Republican
rlng-leaders to get back their grip, be-
ing unwilling to learn anything.

LICENSE TALK
WORRIES THE TOWN

Vineland. N. j., Sept. 12.-Annoyed
by the persistent rumors that an effort
would be made to obtain a license in
Vineland, about every temperance man
has turned lawyer and is reading up
the act of 1864 under which Vineland
was incorporated. The first local op-
tion law in the State was written by
the founder of Vineland, Charles Kline
Lands, and was passed by the New
Jersey Legislature, March 7, 1864.
after writing it Mr. Lands submitted
it to John T. Nixon, then United States
District Judge, and James Nixon, of
the State Circuit Court, both of whom
approved it as it was written.
One section provides that no inn and
tavern license shall be granted to any
person or persons unless majority of
the voters shall be in favor of it. An
other section limits all licenses to the
inn and tavern class.

THE FAIR TO Be
BIGGER THAN EVER

Trenton, Sept. 12.-Colonel Mahlon
R. Margerum, secretary of the Inter-
state Fair, which will open on Septem-
Der 25, continuing until September 20,
has just made public his plans for this
year. Spurred on by the remarkable
public support given in 1910, when 15O,-
600 persons passed through the gates,
the management promises to more
than live up to its slogan of each
year, Bigger and better than ever.
The hors e-racing department will
again be in charge of Horace P. Muir
'phy, who has arranged an unique pro-
gram. An innovation will be a genu-
inc race meet for running horses car
rying the colors of each stable, on
Monday, followed by an open motor
cycle speed event. Murphy has in
jected new idea this year in making
the purses, with one or two excep-
tions, $500 fiat, thus assuring spirited
racing and neck-and-neck finishes in
all classes. Harness races are pro-
vided for the balance of the week,
and trial spins have demonstrated that
the track is several seconds faster

GOVERNOR
IN CUMBERLAND
Will Make a Tour of the
State
BIG OFF YEAR THIS
Democratic Committee Preparing for
a Big Compaign This
Fall.
(From the Philadelphia Rscord)

Trenton, Sept. Ex-Governor Wilson
is going to make another tour of the
State, touching every county immedi-
ately after the primary two weeks
from today. The object of the tour, in
which the Governor will make speech
es of the telling kind he made last
fall, is to arouse the people of the
State once more to the need of watch
fulness in the care of their govern
2nent, that the special interests shall
mot steal march upon them and get
back into power under the domination
of the bosses of either the Republican
or the Democratic party.
This fact was made known today to
the Democratic State Committee.
which held one of the most interest
ing sessions since the last eventful
campaign, and Edward E. Grosscup.
the chairman, was instructed to pre-
pare the itinerary for the important
trip, the most remarkable the Stats
has ever known.
In most of the counties there are
excellent chances for the election of
Democratic Senatorial or Assembly
candidates and the members of the
committee here today expressed the
belief that rousing campaign by the
Governor would do much toward the
success of the party in those counties.
The chance, too, of gaining member
of Congress from the First District,
where thousands of free Republicans
are disgusted with Machine tactics,
seemed too good to let go by without
extra effort and considerable part of
the Governors time will be devoted
to that section of South Jersey. 9th
er parts of the State will also be
reached and what is usually termed
an "off year, it is going to be some
thing of hummer.
The meeting of the committee was
called at the Hotel Sterling for the
specific purpose of arranging the de-
tails of the State convention fixed for
Octber 8 in this city. First crack out
of the box was an opinion from Assis-
tant Attorney General Gaskill to the
