HALF OF DELEGATES ARE NOW
CHOSEN
Considering Those Who Favor Cover
nor Wilson ON Second Ballot, He
Is in Lead

A Washington, D. c., despatch,
dated May 6, says: With the election
of the fourteen delegates from Con-
necticut to the Baltimore convention,
more than one-half of the 1,094 dele
gates. who will constitute the Demo-
cratic National Convention, have been
chosen
Taking into account those delegates
who favor him as second choice,
many of whom are pledged to vote for
him on the second ballot, Governor
Woodrow Wilson is easily in the lead
among the other candidates. The
North Dakota delegates openly as
sert that the New Jersey executive IS
their second choice, and two-thirds OF
the Kansas delegation, which is in
astr,Icted to vote for him as second
choice. favor his candidacy. Cover
nor Wilson is the second choice OF
+he Massachusetts as well as OF the
Nebraska delegation. In fact most
of the Clark vote is for the Governor
as second choice.
II is interesting to note that Gov
arnor Wilson lis the only candidate
who has been able to carry any num-
har nf states that are not contiguous
~ mis- own State Chairman Under
wood does not have the vote of any
ctafe removed from the Alabama
boundary, while Speaker Clark's

first time for more than a score of
years. the so-called Business In

UPWARD GOES THE PRICE
Along with about everything else
that the people use, the price of

fact that the mills have all been orr

American Writing Paper company

The Jersey Journal, the great inde-
pendent paper of Jersey City, cele-
brated its forty-sixth anniversary last
week, and during next month will
move into its new offices on Jersey
City Heights. Jersey City has a
right to be proud of The Journal, be-
cause of its progressive, independent
attitude toward all public questions.
The Supreme Court of the United
States has lately decided that a water
company may not cut off house
holders water supply in order to force
him to pay his water rates. Such
action not only might lead to serious
suffering on the part of the affected
family, but it might endanger the
health OF the community.

HOW Dissolution HELPS.

Standard Oil stock has increased
greatly in value since the recent
dissolution decision of the United
States Supreme Court. In the re-
port of a prominent Wall Street firm,
issued recently, there is this signifi-
cant language: Whatever the effect
the dissolution order had on actual
values, it is apparent that the recent
speculative activity in the component
stocks has put quotations so much
above the former average, as express
ed particularly in Standard Oil stock
that the Rockefellers could sell out
now, if they desired, at a much high
er figure than ever before. Dissolu-
ton has greatly enriched them.
Having enriched the Standard Oil
company and the Tobacco trust thru
dissolution suits, the Taft admins
tration has now started similar pro-
ceedings against the harvester trust.
Doubtless this trust will be duly
thankful for the favor.
