efficiency or by selection of the court
and are supposedly free from any bias
whatever. An election officer now has
no excuse whatever to consider him
self responsible to any party or per-
son. He is responsible only to the
law.
Regarding ChaIIengers.
There Is another matter to which
l desire to draw attention, and that is
that by section 25 of the original pri-
mary act of 1903, as found on page 1876
of the election law pamphlet issued by
the secretary of State. the chairman of
the County Committee is authorized to
appoint W agents. who. by SUISSE
quent provision of the section, are au-
thorized to act as challengers n
agents, and every person whose name
shall be printed upon the official pri-
mary ballot and who Is to be voted for
throughout the county shall have the
right to act as the challenger and also
to appoint two agents for each election
district in his county, and such agents
shall have the rights and privileges of
an agent and challenger as provided in
his section.
at Is thus seer that by the old prl-
mary law the candidates running in
the right to name challengers and
agents. / do not agree with that con-
struction of section 10 as amended by
the avs of 1909, page 1853, which de-
prives these agents so appointed of the
right to act as challengers. l think
such an opinion has been given hereto
fore to the County Board of Elections.
at wish 1t distinctly understood that
SO far as these officers are responsible
to this court, the court does not con-
slider that to be the law. h right
to appoint challengers and agents is In
furtherance OF the conduct of an cleo
ton honestly. Nothing to which my
attention has been drawn in the Geran
alw expressly or implicitly repeats this
power. And there again l might add
once more, as I stated in the opinion
in the matter before me-. that no fine
SPUN theories should be permitted so
to intervene in the construction of the
statute that Will result in taking away
from the voter his rights or which will
tend or assist in the commission of
fraudulent praotises unless that only
is the construction which could pos
sibly b drawn from the language of
the act.
Again, under the primary act of
1909, section Ia, which I see Is not
printed In the pamphlet laws issued by
the secretary of. state, a voter is dis
tinctly and absolutely required at the

the clergyman, that after some of the

BACK BITTER, SAYS
M|NARO, REUSED
BY {. B.. OSBORNE
Former A~ssembIyman Makes
Spicy Reply to Red=Hot
Open Letter.

Hes simply a political back-biteri"
exclaimed former Assemblyman Duane
e. Minard, when interviewed regarding
an open letter sent him today by Ed
mund B. Osborne, president of the Pro-
gressive% Republican League. This let
ter was a reply to one previously sent
Mr.. Osborne by Mr.. Minard criticising
the n in which Mr.. Osborne had
referred to him in a speech.
Il have no desire to enter into con-
~troversy with a man of Osborne's type"
continued Mr.. Minard. my letter to
him did not call for an answer, but
merely expressed my opinion of his at
lacking non-combatants.
81 am not a candidate. My political
record and opinions are not at issue in
his contest.
"He must be very badly off for cam
paign ammunition when he has to go
out of his way to attack me.
81 don't consider that he is either
honest or honorable. l don't want to
have anything to do with him. He is
simply a political back-biter."
The letter which so aroused Mr..
Minard's ire was on Progressive Re-
publican League stationery and ran as
follows.
MY Dear Sir-Acknowledging your
letter of September 21, which ] first
saw in the Newark Evening News, II
Is my opinion that your record in the
Legislature. as a steadfast opponent OF
ali reforms demanded by the people and
opposed by the special interests, abhnd-
antly warrants the allusion j made 10
YOU in my speech. and / think that is
the opinion generally entertained by
those who are familiar with your
record.
I'm your letter you undertake to say
what my motives were in alluding 10
YOU as / did In my speech, and 1t seems
proper for me to say what my motives
actually were. Here they are:
II think you. in your record. have
afforded an excellent example of VIVA
an assemblyman ought not to be.
think 1t a public service to call atten-
ton to your record, as the more the
public knows about it the less likely
they are to elect another a~ssemblyman
of your kind. Furthermore. | wanted
to demonstrate that Mr.. Stickel. being

Iected you and being associated with
you in business, must logically be eX-
pected to be about the same kind OF

unless he pledges himself distinctly tc
a different course. l regret that this
inference is so hard on Mr.. Stiekel,
but it is strictly loglcal-he a escape

in vain.

Mrs. Prizes added to her tale of woe
by testifying that before she went away
from her husband she was compelled
to sleep with one of his daughters on
a bed made up on the floor. She first
lived with a friend and then made her
home with an aunt.
Among the first questions put to her
by Edgar H.. Loveridge, of West Ho-
boken, on the cross-examination, was:
did You love him at the time Of
your marriage"
Il certainly did, was the emphatic
answer.

"Well. l thought he could give me a
good home, but Just as soon as I was
married to him he treated me indiffer-

when did he give you that wedding
ring which you say he took away

primary to register for the ensuing rem
eraI election before he is permitted to
vote at the primary. Nothing in the
Geran act repeats. nor is inconsistent
with, the provision of section IA of h
old act. The primary election is ON
nected with the general election.
"a person must state, in order to
have the privilege of voting at the pri-
mary election, that he intends to sup
port the party at the next election.
How can he honestly say that if he de-
clines to register then and there for the
purpose of qualifying himself to vote at
the ensuing election? l am clear that
the latter portion of section 80 of the
Geran law, on page 1872 of this pamphlet.
indicates that the voter must register
at the primary or on the first registry
a before he can go to the primary.
This is a matter of the utmost import
ance. 1t is of the highest importance,
N to say that a provision of the old
law so distinctly working for the pur-
pose of preventing fraud has been re-
pealed by implication in the Geran law,
seems to me to stretch the Geran law
unnecessarily n unduly. and election
officers in this county, at all events, are
instructed to regard this construction
which the court places upon this par
ticular feature of the law.
Another matter should be men
toned, and that is hat under the
Geran act the voter has a right to
take hold of his ballot with the mem
Der of the board having charge of the
ballot-box- keep hold of it until
the ballot has actually been deposited
in the ballot-box. Voters may, and
should, when deemed desirable bv
them, exercise this privilege. 1t will
not be considered as any reflection
whatever upon any election officer, but
the privilege may be exercised by a
voter. The purpose of that provision
Is, of course, to prevent the praotfse
known as 'palming.'
IAN Implement of Fraud"
Judge Martin also called attention o
the fact that 1t has been stated that
the Massachusetts ballot, such as will
be used here, can be circumvented by
the use of a perforated piece of card
board with holes that would fit over
the names desired 10 be marked on the
ticket.

 The second floor was empty. A tz- ble lay overturned at the top of the stairs, and a broken flower vase was weltering in it's own ooze. Part way down Betty stepped on something sharp. that proved to be the Jap anese paper knife from the den. left her on the stairs examining her foot, and hurried to the lower floor.
 Here everything was in the utmost confusion. Aunt Selina had tainted, and was sitting in a hall chair with her head rolled over sidewise and the poker from the library fireplace across her knees. No one was paying any attention to her. And Jim was holding the front door open. while three of the guards hesitated in the vesubule. The noises continued from the back of the house, and as I stood on the lowest stair Bella came out from the dining room, with her face streaked with soot, and carrying kettle of hot water.
 "Jim," she called wildly. While Max and Dal are below, you can pour this down from the top. It's boiling"
 Jim glanced back over his shoulder. Carry out your own murderous de signs" he said. And then, as she started back with 1t, Bella, for Heav- ems sake" he called. have you gone stark mad? Put that kettle down.
 She did 1t sulkily and Jim turned to the policeman.

 ran to Aunt Selina and tried to straighten her head. In a moment she opened her eyes. sat up and stared around her. She saw the kettle at once.
 What are you doing with boiling water on the fioor?" she said to me, with her returning voice. Don't yop know you will spoil the fioor?" The ruling passion was strong with Aun, Selina. as usual.
 could not find out the trouble from any one: people appeared and disap- peared. carrying strange articles. Anne with a rope, Dal with his hatch ct. Bella and tEs kettle. but could get a coherent explanation from no one. When the guards finally decided that Jim was in earnest, snd that the rest of us were not crawling out rear window while he held them at the door. they came in, three of them and two reporters. and Jim led them to the buffers pantry.
 Here we found Anne. very white and shaky. with the pantry table and two chairs piled against the door of the kitchen slide. and clutching the chamois-skin bag that held her jewels. She had a bottle of Burgundy open beside her. and was pouring herself glass with shaking hands when we appeared She was furious at Jim.
