FOB f. HEDGES is the greatest hu-

~ should be placed on the words HUI
man being" for that is the class in which
he Is pre-eminent When any one men
tons Job Hedges his humanity is at once
the subject Of remark and praise. 1t is
the quality by which he is known. Out of
it is hewn the foundation Of his platform.
The planks Of his platform are the theo-
ries Of life and politics which he has built
upon that foundation.

LOCKING UP THE HALO.

Don't think the dignity of the Office OF
Governor is going to suffer. If I'm elect
ed I'll expect to wear the halo, but every
day at 4 O'Clock off it'll come and go into
the safe with the time lock set for the
next morning.
"In politics, az in physics, two bodies
cannot occupy the same space simulta-
neously. To secure reform the 'undesir-
able citizen must be, ousted and the de-
sirable citizen substituted In his place.
A desirable citizen is one who knows con-
dltions from his personal contact with
them. who understands men from genu-
inc brotherly interest, who recognizes
his sacred duty TO the state and is per-
sistent I'm his endeavors to perform that
duty. This calls for action, action mea rs
contest. contest means votes, majority
of votes means success.

some excuse for this method of procedure.

well, one OF my reasons is this said
Mr. Hedges. at Is a tremendous re-
sponsibility for any human being to say

authorized but presumptuous in the last
degree. For one person to say that the

AN ELECTION NIGHT PRAYER.

IF I'm elected the first night I'll go
down on my knees and say to my Heaven
" Father: If you love your Wandering
Willie, please don't change his tempera l..
ment. Leave him his sense Of proportion
1T apparently seems necessary for those
in high authority to declare continuously
what is right and what Is wrong In politi-
cal conduct There is no objection to this
if II is for the purpose only Of forcing
people 10 think upon these topics. When.
however, il Is assumed that an oath OF
office is the line of demarcatton be-
tween intelligence and ignorance. political
righteousness and political unrighteous-
ness such an assumption is pathetic.
Under actual political conditions TO-
day there is a wide abyss between the
knowledge of facts possessed by the occu-
pant Of public Office and by the unofficial
citizen. The visible standards Of con
sistency OF the public official who claims
10 be a teacher cannot be accurately
Judged by the average man. While
charges OF inconsistency. maladministra-
ton and graft are occupying public at
tention, II may be pertinent to remark
that the political crime of the present
decade is not larceny but hypocrisy.

came over and rested his hand on the
reporters knee. 1T makes you want to

in here-not together-and each one laid

Mr.. Hedges turned to his tramping up

as he went on: ..
"A syllogism can never take the place
of a human heart heat. Living with the
guidance and restriction. of law, that
man is the best aid TO the community

Col. II. Stewart Craven, the candidate
of the Democratic party for Member of
the House Of Representatives from the
First Congressional District of New Jer-
sey, was born OH a farm near st. Georges,
DelaW are. February 20, 1873. He ZONES
of a family Democratic for generations, the
contemporaries, friends and ardent sup
porters of the Bayards, Grays and others
who made Delaware Democracy known
and admired the land over. The family
is OF Scotch Presbyterian ancestry.
Col. Craven was educated in the pub
lie schools Of the city of Salem, New Jer-
sew, 10 which city his parents moved in
$780, at ~Lawrenceville Academy, Law
renceville. New Jersey, and at the Vir-
ginia Military Institute, Lexington,
Virginia.
The Salem glass works were founded
by a relative of Colonel Craven's, in part
nership with two other business men OF
the city, in 1868, and Mr.. Craven COM
menced his business career with this in
dustry in 1892. He is now Vice-President
of the corporation, having managed in
turn every department of this extensive
business. The works are among the
most important bottle blowing plant in
the country, having last year over 700
employees.
There has been as little friction il this
plant betv cen employer and employed
as in any manufacturing plant in the
land, as is evidenced by the following
letter from President d. A. Hayes, OF
the Green Glass Bottle Blowers Associ-
alton of the United States and Canada:
81 cannot, of course, take any part in
any political controversy, but l can cay
that Colonel Craven and the firm of
woich he is a member have always en-
ployed union men and have never had
any serious difficulties. In every in
stance where misunderstanding have
occurred they have been adjusted with
out trouble aud in amicable manner
| am personally acquainted with Col.
Craven and know that he has the best of
feeling for the workers."
Always retaining his love of farming,
and giving careful thought and study
for several years TO the agricultural sit
uation in our country and particularly
to scientific farm management, he in
1907 purchased his first farm and has
since added extensively to his holding;
now being president of the Oakdale
Farms Company, operating five large
farms in Salem county along the most
up-to-date ideas of farm management
and cultivation, particular attention
being given to dairying, poultry and

ruit, He is All enthusiastic member of
the Patrons of Husbandry, having mem
bership in Salem Grange, p. of H.
His experience has been OF great value
to the Colored Industrial School, at
%Bordentown, New Jersey, which is a
part of our States school system and
which has attached to it "a farm Of 225
acres Mr.. Craven's personal interest in
this school and the adoption OF his prac-
tial ideas in the management OF the farm
resulting the past year in its being SELF
supporting, whereas heretofore nothing
OF value was gathered from its broad
acres.
LII 1899, General William J.. Sewell,
Division Commander OF the National
Guard OF New Jersey, appointed Mr..
Craven All aide Oh his staff with the
rank of Major. In 1905 he was appoint
ed Assistant Quartermaster General with
the rank of Colonel, which position he
still holds and in which lie has rendered
the State most efficient service. liz 1911,
Gov. Woodrow Wilson appointed him a
member of the new State Board of Ed
uation for five years, this Board being
charged with h most important duty
OF inaugurating the new system of pub
lie instruction and public school manage
ment which Was formulated and en-
bodied intoa law of the State after Il
most rigid Investigation into public
school conditions in New Jersey.
He has been an ardent and active
supporter of Gov. Woodrow Wilson as
governor OF New Jersey, as a candidate
for nomination at the Baltimore Conven-
ton and as a candidate for the presiden-
cy. In the House OF Representatives he
will at all times be found a vigorous up
holder OF the policies of Woodrow Wilson.
His business life, embracing as it has the
features of almost every branch Of indus
trial life OF South Jersey, makes him
alive to every need Of Il district, its
manufactures, its transportation. facilities,
its mail facilities, it's waterways, its agri.
culture interests. His knowledge comes
from personal experience and personal
contact, and they will have in him All
earnest advocate and a persistent worker.

CONvEYAMCEs FOR VOTERS.

Senator Fielder of Hudson Explains
the Present State of the Law.
At the request of Chairman Edward
e. Grosscup of the Democratic state
committee Senator James f. Fielder of
Hudson county has written the fol
to providing ~conyeyances for voters TO
the polls on election day:
II understand there is some confu
sion in the state with respect to the
use Of co~nveyances to transport voters
to and from the polls on Election day.
The provisions Of the law are clear and
a simple statement of them should dis
pei any doubts on the subject
Under sections Is, IA and Is Of the
corrupt practices act DAVIS 1911. page
1921 the hiring of vehicles by a candi
date or by any person on his behalf is
prohibited. There is but one way in
which vehicles for this purpose can be
hired and such hire must be paid by
the board of freeholders. The chair
man of the county committee or other
organization of any political party
which has nominated candidates. may
petition the common pleas judge at
least fourteen days prior to the cleo
ton. setting forth that certain de
scribed voters reside at a distance of
at least two miles from their polling
place, or are aged or inirm and that
such voters do not possess means of
transportation and that no trolley line
passes within half a mile Of their resi-
dence or polling place and requesting
the judge to order their expenses for
transportation paid by the board of
freeholders.
IF an order authorizing county
chairman to hire conveyances is made,
the j dge fixes the rate of compensa-
ton aid within four days after cleo
ton, each owner of a vehicle used
must die a statement with the judge
under oath showing the number of per
sons r ansported. accompanied by an
AFFIDAVIT of each person carried, show
ing thu facts which entitle him to such
transp ortation. The board Of free
holders then pays the bill and the law
provides, very positively, that ne
money shall be spent and on expense
authorized or incurred on behalf OF
any candidate for the transportation OF
voters; in any other way.
ut has been claimed that, because
the Ia provided for transportation I'm
der order of the court only, the carry
ing Of voters in vehicles furnished gra-
tbs by the candidate or by others in his
behalf was excluded. l have never be-
heved this to be SO, but that the law
merely prohibited the expenditure of
money for this purpose. However, all
doubts On this point have been remov-
ed by the passage Of chapter 401 of the
laws of 1912 page $40, which provides
that nothing in the corrupt practices
act shall be construed to in any way
limit the right of any volunteer, act
ing without compensation, to transport
voters to and from the polls. The act
of 1912 to which l refer makes no
other change in the corrupt practices
act on this subject"
