LITTLE INTEREST
SHOWN IN ORANGE
COMMISSION PLAN
Few Citizens Visit Polls to Cast
Ballots for or Against
Idea.

The vote in the special election that
is being held in orange today relative
TO the commission form of government
plans is very light, only 672 votes be-
ing polled up until noon. This Is an
average of 30 votes in each district.
The highest vote was in h first dis
trict of the Fourth ward, where %
ballots were cast.
Struggling voters, at a rate of about
five an hour, passed into the % polling
places during the morning, and the
election officers for diversion we're
compelled to discuss the intrlcacies of
the Geran election law provisions. The
catechising of prospective voters was
carried on with comparatively few
lively incidents, and it was evident IS
the morning hours dragged YEARLY
along thai many people would evil
IDENTIFY avoid the polling precincts.
The redistricting of the city caused
some voters extra trips, as they found
that their residences were in new pre-
cincts, and several men had to march
around from places where they wero
accustomed to vote to the new dis
tricts.
Little Hope for Commission.
or the l~istless votes the Commission
Government League got little enccur-
agement to their belief that any large
proportion of the 1908 votes required
for the commission majority would be
cast. There was up to early this after
noon hardly any life about the pre-
cincts, and but for he uniformed po-
lice and closed saloons one would never
suspect an election was taking place.
AS this afternoon is first registry day
for the general election the commits
sion supporters are hopeful that a de-
sire to have the registration problem
oven with for November may send
patches of additional voters to support
the proposition to change the city gov
eminent. These hopes are not likely
of realization, however, and a big pro-
portion of the registered groups are
voting against the commission The
signs designating the voting places did
not cause many to stop on their jour
neys to business or other work this
morning, and the noon hour showed
but few additional men in the polling
places. Both sides are somewhat sur
prised at the extreme indifference in
dicated.
There was quite an interested crowd
at the city's -four corners" last night
when the commission folk and their
Socialist rivals hurled defiance at op-
posite street orners. The Socialist fox
are hugely enjoying the opportunities
for exploiting themselves through the
commission street corner meeting and
at the several corners have found their
anti-commission arguments taken even
more seriously than the labored
speeches of local and imported talent
urging Orange folk to somersault the
city government into the commission
experiment.

REPUBLICANS To
MEET IN NEWARK
NEXT THURSDAY
State Committee to Get Together
to Discuss Coming Con-
ventiOn Plans.
Especial to the Newark start

TRENTON, Sept. 12.-United States
Senator Frank o. Briggs, as chair
man of the Republican State commit
tee, will probably issue later today a
call for a meeting of the committee
next Thursday In Newark.
The chief purpose of the meeting
will be to consider the State conven-
ton, which, under the Geran law, must
be held in this city October 8. the
same day as the Democratic conven-
ton, under radical changes from the
old method.
Senator Briggs, discussing the meet
ing, said he had given litSfe thought
to the course to be pursued by the
committee under the new conditions
existing this year.
He declared that he was not prepared
to say that the committee properly had
any function at all in planning the
convention. He is of the opinion that
the committee should decide this ques-
ton and this Is his reason for calling
he meeting. The personal view of
Senator Briggs Is that the committee.
as now constituted, is not entitled
under the Geran law to participate in
the convention, being barred by the
provision that only State committees
chosen under the new law are eligible
ito be a part of the convention.
If the other members of the commit
tee one in this view the committee
Will likely arrange the place and other
preliminary details for the gathering,
leaving the rest to the convention. The
hold-over Republican senators will
likely take h initiative in the real
convention plans.
Senator Briggs declared In favor of
adopting a State platform, although
there is no Statewide elections this
year.

INDEPENDENTS To
BUCK INCREASE IN
CIGARETTE COST

Independent tobacco dealers of New
ark are Interested in the fight which
is now being made against the to-
baceo trust and the war against the
coupon certificate which is being again
renewed.
The local dealers complain of the
recent increase in the wholesale cost
of all the standard trust brands of
cigarettes, and the small deader is
confronted with a problem of competi-
ton with a corporation which can
Wholesale at a profit and retail below
what they sell at wholesale.
a prominent Broad street t~obacconist
stated today that the price of several
brands had been raised so that he
was compelled in order to compete with
the trust prices to be satisfied with
a profit of from 4 to 10 per cent, while
in some instances the goods were
handled at a loss.
Independent Dealer Talks.
The trust said he, for instance,
is retailing Murads1 at 11s cents lower
than we can buy them at wholesale,
figuring the valu of the certificate
given with an 11-cent package at . cents

There are many brands of cigarettes
on which the trust holds a monopoly,
and the retailer must buy of the trust
or go without the goods.
Another local cigar merchant ex-
pressed a grievance over the use OF
the oupon He was free, however, u
lay the responsibility of the success
of this system at the door of the WON

and that they follow the trust adver.

The independents also claim that the

"sENAToR MYSTERY"

One Of the most astonishing, as
well as remarkable discoveries COM
ing to light in the course Of Gilpin
county history, will go reverberating
down the annals of time as one of
the most perplexing mysteries of
modern times.
It appears that one of Black
Hawks prominent refreshment house
proprietors, was, while swinging a
five-pound singlejack with his usual
lusty abandon, nearly overcome by a
disagreeable odor emanating from a
cavity at the bottom Of six-inch
block hole he was drilling In a large
egg-shaped boulder. This boulder was
nine feet in length by three in thick
ness.
The odor finally subsiding, he was
enabled to return to his work and
decided to blast the hole he had, in
hope of breaking the rock. When he
returned after lunch, his surprise and
