CHALLENGE or Mr.. NUGENT
TO NEW .cEY DELEGATES

therefore challenge the New Jersey delegates to tell me:
"Why the Governor vetoed the grade crossing eimina-
ton bill.
Why failed to confer with the members of the Legis
lare upon this amporan subject during the ninety days
before the Legislature particularly in view of that por
ton of his annual which urged the enactment of egs
lation of this kind
Wy he endeavored the passage of the Morris
canal abandonment BILL which would have turned to the
Lehgh Valley railroad the canal basin in jersey City New
York arbo estimated to be worth from S1OO00OOO to $15
100000, for patry $500,00O
Why he vetoed the trackless trolley bill desired by the
residents the rural communities and the great agricultural
districts although opposed by the Public Service lobby
"Why he signed Senate bill No. So known The Short
Condemnation Bill favored by the Pennsylvania railroad
lobby and which many eminent lawyers maintain to be
constitutional.
sWhy the Governor who in 1911 worked assduOusly
for reform confer with the Democrats in the
State Legislature in 1912 to campaign for carrying out
the party pledges and in particular those which he
mended in his annual message.
eWhy he absened himself from the State most of the
time since his election Speaker Clark Leader Underwood
and Governor remained in Offices to which the peo
pe elected and attended to their duties therefore,
would appreciate an honest to this question:

Mckinley and Roosevelt and pro-
ceeds:
I'VE invite the intelligent judgment
of the American people upon the adj
ministration of William II. Taft. The
country has prospered and been at
peace under his presidency lie has
preserved and carried forward all
that was valuable in the policies that
he took over from his predecessors,
setting the good example Of the scru-
pulous obedience to law in his own
words and acts. He has enforced the
law as he found 1t, faithfully. impair
TALLY and patiently. During the years
in which he had the cooperation Of
Republican Congress. an unexampled
amount of constructive legislation
was framed and passed in the inter-
est of the people and in obedience to
their wish that legislation is a record
on which any administration might
appeal with confidence of the faVora-
BILE Judgment of history. If any prom
ise made by the Republican party
still is unredeemed the fault is not
with President Taft. He has striven

BRYAN WILL

Battle Against Parker
for Chairman.
PHILIPPINE DELEGATION

Him to Withdraw from
Contest,

BALTIMORE, June 22.-William
Jennings Bryan will make the fight
against the naming of Judge Alton
b. Parker, of New York, as tenn
porary chairman of the Democratic
national convention, regardless of the
attitude taken by the five candidates
for presidential nomination to whom
Mr.. Bryan sent telegraphic note
asking them to join with him in OPP
posing Mr.. Parker.
That statement was emphatically
made today by DR.. z. l.. Hall, ma
tional committeeman from Mr..
Bryans home State, who has been
keeping Mr.. Bryan informed of the
progress of events here.
6 National Committeeman Hall said
that the issue over Judge Parker
was more clearly defined than ever.
and that the fight had to come.
THE replies of the candidates so
far made said Mr.. Hall, clearly in
dicate that they do not care to take
sides, but that will made no diff
fernqc to Mr.. Bryan. lie Will never
let up in his fight, and 1t will be
carried to the convention floor"
Dr. Hall said that the fight against
Mr.. Parker on the convention floor
might be very close, as many dele
gates would subvert the issue of pro-
gressiveism and vote for the choice
of the arrangement committee that the
matter might be quickly settled,
hoping to prevent any party breaks,
Those national committeeman
aligned with Judge Parker analyzed
the replies of the candidates to MIR.
Bryans note and declared that the
Nebraska leader would find little
comfort in them, and that he would
be compelled to make the fight with
only those delegates who joined with
him.
Some of Tie leaders hoped that MIR,
Bryan could be persuaded to with
draw from the fight and abide by the
decision of the committee IN the in
terest of party harmony. There were
reports that there might be a bolt IL
Judge Parker WIS finally selected and
a party of progressives formed. but
none close to the Bryan leaders would
confirm this, saying that II was idle
to talk of such moves, especially since
the delegates and leaders had not
threshed it out in convention.
The Philippine delegation is willing
to solve the snarl over temporary
chairman of the Democratic conven-
tion by presenting Adam c. Derkum,
of the islands. for that position. His
distance residence is being advanced
as evidence of his impartiallty.
United States Senator MARITIME, Of

IN
DEATH CELL

1t developed today that Allison H..
MacFarland, who on Thursday was
granted a new trial by the Court of
Errors and Appeals, cannot be re-
moved from the death-house at the
Trenton State prison to the Essex
county Jail without at least two court
orders.
The reason for this is that the Leg
islature in the act of 1907, which did
away with hanging in capital cases
and made death by electrocution the
punishment in murder cases, does not
provide for any way to release a pris-
oner from the death chamber, except
in Communication of sentence by the
Governor or the State Board of Par
dons. No provision Is made in the
case of the reversal of the trial court
by the upper courts.
The MacFarland case is the first re-
Versal since the electrocution act
went into effect, and therefore there
was considerable discussion between
Chief Justice William S. Gummere.
Frank M. McDermit and Prosecutor
Wilbur A Mott today as to just what
procedure to follow.
1t was pointed out by Prosecution
Mott that under no circumstances
could new move be made until Juno
30, when the remittitur from the
Court of Errors and Appeals would
be sent to this county. The law pro-
vides that decisions of the Court of
Errors and Appeals must remain in
the Office of the clerk of the court for
ten days.
McDermit submitted tentative
order of release for MacFarland from
State prison, ordering the keeper OF
the State prison to turn MacFarland
over to the keeping of the sheriff Of
Essex county. 1t was pointed out by
Chief Justice Gummere that this
gave the Essex county sheriff no
warrant to detain the prisoner.
1t is understood that two orders
will be drawn, one ordering the trans
fer of MacFarland to the jurisdiction
of the Essex court and the other an
order from the chief justice, as pre-
siding judge of the Essex Court of
oyer and Terminer. to the sheriff to
hold MacFarland subject to the or
ders OF the court.
Both the orders will probably be
signed next Saturday morning, IL the
remittitur of the decision of the
Court of Errors and Appeals has been
received by that time.

CHICAGO, June 22.-After brief
session devoted TO threshing out diff
ferenees on the construction OF
plank in favor of Mississippi river
improvements. the committee on res
olutions recessed, leaving the sub
committee to continue its labors.
The ENHANCEMENT over the Missis-
sippi proposition was unexpected. a
provision committing the national
government Internationally to the
imrovement of that enterprise had
been agreed upon, but when its terms
were brought TO the attention of
Senator Burton, who Is delegate
from Ohio, he expressed strong dis
approval, and going before the com
mittee succeeded in prevailing upon
the members to reopen the subject III
order to consider 1t from a different
angle. He does not believe the ma
tional treasury should bear the en-
tire burden OF river Improvement, and
urges the Incorporation of that prin-
ciple in the platform.
The subcommittee also found itself
under the necessity of giving further
attention to the tariff plank. While
there is little difference OF view on
this subject, much trouble has been
experienced in finding language agree
able to all. 1t has been decided TO
leave out all reference to the Amer
ican standard of living as proposed
by Senator Lippitt, and it now seems
probable that the phraseology of four
years ago, fixing the difference IN
cost of production here and abroad
as the measure of protection VIII be
discarded
The draft of the document taken in
hand by the subcommittee was con-
fined to a general pronouncement in
favor of the protective principle AMI
TO duties which should be adequase
but not excessive" The committee
would have the determination of the
question of adequacy depend upon
the findings of the tariff board, and
to this end urges the continuation OF
the board The provision denouncing
the Democratic methods of tariff re-
vision Is retained.
The friends of President Taft have
encountered unexpectedly bitter op-
position to the unqualified lndorse-
ment of his administration. That In
dorsement is coupled with an erico-

Mr.. St Clair, of Idaho, declared
