ers of the News.

In offering to it's readers the new
book. The American Government
by Frederic J. Haskin, the EVEN
ING NEWS is indeed Offering them a
book that is different from anything
that has been printed heretofore.
There are hundreds of books in the
copyright office in the Library OF
Congress which deal with the theo-
ries of government. Such things are
of interest to the student of consti-
tutional law, but do not hold the at
tenion of he average reader.
The new book tells of practice and
not of theories. 1t gets down to what
the Government does how it affects
YOU. 1t is a snapshot of vital ac-
ton and not a posed portrait of still
life. Every page is e~nlivened with
incident and human intel st of a kind
which rivets the facts in the readers
mind, n every chapter Is vouched
for In a way that leaves no room for
doubt as to the book being an accu-
rate picture of Uncle Sam at work.
And the cost? Well, so much In
book value never before has been
offered for so small a price. Be sure

HOW TO VOTE

New Election Law Gives

Trenton, Oct. 14:-The state lead

party workers to emphasize the

Dental ticket and also with a cross
to the left of some Of the names Of
the electors on another ticket, it is
expressly provided that the ballot
shall be counted for all the presiden-
tial electors Of the party headed by
the presidential candidates marked.
der the Geran election law, this be-
ing the first presidential election in
this state to be conducted according
to the provisions OF that statute.
This was one of the subjects consid-
cred Saturday afternoon at a confer
ence at the State House at which
United States Senator Briggs, form
er Governor Stokes and other Repub-
lican leaders were present.
The biggest change in the PEST
Dental voting will be from the old
individual party ballots, to the one
blanket ballot containing all the six
presidential tickets, as well as all the
other candidates names. The group
of presidential tickets will be the
first on the ballot under the caption
President and Vice President of the
United States" Each party ticket
will be headed by the anne of the
candidates FOR president and vice
president, the names of the fourteen
electors follo wing in single column
arrangement. 1t is important to note
that to vote for all the electors for
one party 1t is only necessary to
make an tx" mark in the square
to the left of the name OF the can
didates for president and vice pres
fdent. The Geran law provides:
"The voter may vote for an entire
group of candidates for presidential
electors by making a in the
space at the left of the surnafpes of
the candidates for president and
vice president for whom he desires
to vote"
To split" the voting on the cleo
tors it will be necessary to follow
this provision of the Geran act: III
a voter does not desire to vote for
all the presidential electors Of the
same party, he must not mark a cross
in the space or square at the left of
the of It's candidates for
president and vice president: he
must mark a cross in the space or
/ square at the left of the name of
each candidate for presidential cleo
I tor for whom he desires to vote" If

the left of the names of the presi-

among all political leaders that New
Jersey, this election, will see the
most independent voting for presi-
dent this year in its political history.
They are not all saying so in public,
but that Is their private sentiment.
1t is readily seen that these private
sentiment. 1t is readily seen that
these provisions of the Geran act
will have this effect, and that Is the
, effect it was designed to have.

Trainor testified that Simko, the
older of the accused men, worked for
him and yesterday morning borrow
ed one of his horses to take his sister
to church in this city. He procured
a buggy and harness from Drumpel-
mann's livery stable and went on a
ride with Mincer. 1t was evident to-
day that he did not take his sister
to church, but instead went on a joy
ride, and likewise secured liquid re-
freshment. When the pair reached
this city about | O'Clock in the af-
ternoon they did not car whether
they drove on the street, sidewalk or
up peoples back yards, with the re-
suit that while driving as fast as the
horse could go they crashed into Mr..
Elkins' automobile. They were turn
ing from Oak street into Smith at
the time and did not turn short
enough. Patrolmen Martin and
Hartmann were detailed to the scene
and arrested the men. They found
the horse wet with p~erspiration and
almost covered with foam. 1t was
suffering from numerous wefts on
the left side, which were caused by
excessive whipping.
In default of payment Of the fines,
totalling $50 each, the men were
locked UP after the hearing to be
| sent to the county jail.

ACCIDENT
AT JAMESBURC.
Four Men Have Close Cal
big Car Wrecked.
he EVENKNG NEWS.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
J~amesburg, Oct. 14:-Four men
in a huge gray touring car, owned bl
"a Sea Girt party, narrowly escaped
fatal injuries in an accident near
this place at 4 O'Clock yesterday af-
ternoon. AS the smashup resulted,
the machine is wrecked and the four
passengers badly bruised and shaken
The names of the men in the car, or
the driver or owner, could not be
learned. 1t is believed, however.
that they were New York brokers,
with homes in Sea Girt, out on a Joy
ride.
The accident occurred at a bad
turn in the county road between
Helmetta and this place, just outside
of the limits of the borough or
IJamesburg. The machine, running
toward this town, drew rapidly up
to a lone bicyclist, who became
alarmed at the speed OF the ap-
preaching car, 1t is believed, and be-
gan to steer his wheel from N side
of the road to the other. The driver
of the auto, realizing that to con-
tinue on a straight path would I'M
d%oubtedly mean a collision with the
bicyclist, turned his a sharply to
the right and plunged down an en-
bankment twenty feet deep. The
machine hit a tree and threw out the
four men with terrific force.
A crowd of forty automobiles and
about SOC people quickly gathered
and offered assistance. DR.. j. G.
Shinn, of Jamesburg, attended the
injured men and administered to a
severe nose bleed from which n OF
the men was suffering. The wreck
ed a was attached to a block and
tackle and pulled to the roadway by
the power Of several automobiles.
1t is believed that the auto was tray
elling at a fast rate of speed before
the accident occurred, because it was
unable to stop behind the wheelman.
If the accident had occurred 100
yards nearer Helmetta the auto and
it's occupants would have plunged
down into a gully which is 100 feet
deep at that point.

Now isn't it reasonable that the

Mrs. Olivia Parham, of East Dur

years and the cough not only disap-

The reason Vinol is so eficacious in
such eases is because it contains in a
delicious concentrated form all the me-

oil, with tonic, blood building iron
added. :
Chronic coughs and colds yield to
Vinol because it builds up the weak

HOW COLUMBUS DAY
BECAME A HOLIDAY
(From the NEWS Correspondent,

tFTOnl lHG I'VE 10 COFTt SpOtucNtsf
Trenton, Oct. 14:-Discussion Of
Columbus Day as a holiday at the
State House Saturday disclosed the
fact hat the bill providing for the
holiday was not intended to be pass
ed and got on the statute books in
advertently. The bill making the
day a holiday was introduced by
Senator Price, of Sussex county, and
was one Of the few measures put in
by him. Some opposition developed
to the on the ground that
there we're holidays enough, and
that this one was not needed. Sena-
tor Price made a plea to his col
leagues to support his bill and pass
it through the senate In order that
he might get credit for its passage
there, and then said he did not are
whether it passed the assembly Or
not. With this understanding 1t
passed the senate, although Senator
Robbins, of Burlington county, Sena-
tor Leavitt, of Mercer, and one or
two others voted against it.
Owing to the opposition to 1t 1t
was the intention to hold the bill In
the senate and smother 1t there,
but one of the senate clerks inadver-
tently got hold of it and 1t went over
to the assembly with some other
bills. In the lawer branch 1t was
deemed to have some political merit,
as it was thought it might win some
votes of a certain class, SO 1t was put
through and SEN to the governor,
who signed it,.
Several of those discussing the
matter thought thai the little obser-
vance given to the day did not COM
pensate for the annoyance caused by
the closing of the banks and other
nublic places.

Recorder Issues Warrant fer
Woman Man Accuses.

While Recorder Kehoe has repeat
eddy announced he will not permit
the police court to be used as a col
lection agency, he took pity upon
John Seroko, a youth, this morning
and said he would try and recover
S23 and clothes held by Mrs. Cecilia

he owed her and when he left to live
at 200 Pulaski avenue she refused to
return his clothing and savings,
amounting to $23, which he had en-
trusted with her.
The youth said he had boarded
at the woman's home at 695 Parker
street for several months and that
she was probably angry because he
left, therefore refusing to give him
his belongings. She will be appre-
hended today, If found, and the case
Will probably be heard at z O'Clock

State Democratic platSssm IS silent

which the Republicans claim have

the naming of Joseph S. Hoff, chair
man of the Mercer County Commit

Mr.. Hoff has been serving on the Civ
il Service Commission for months
and at the same time has been the
active head Of the Democratic politi-
cal organization of this county.
This, say the Republicans, does not
comport with the governors declar-
ations to take the government out OF
politics.
Mr.. Hoff has just been made a
member Of the Democratic State
Committee to succeed Charles H

his bitter enmity for Governor VIII
