Wickersham papers are still voioing the old howl about Shackleford and Hoggatt, in an attempt to produce aa argument against Wm. Gilmore, Even that should have no effect on the bal. lots of the voters. Mir. Shackleford is still an hum ble citizen of Alaska, and whatever may be said about MT. Hog gait as governor, no one can truthfully say that hs was not good citizen. All that has been said of Mir. Gilmore leads us to believe that he is honest and capable, and as far as the candidates are coneernsd, he is surely the best of the bunch.

Lewis P. Shackleford has returned to Juneau, and reports that w. s. Bayless is nov republican national committee man from Alaska. We do not know what Mr. Bayless' qualifications may be for the position, but we are certain that the mantle that has fallen upon his shoulders vii, also bring large portion of abuse from disgruntled pol iticians in different parts of the dis

George E.

WATER BOARD
LET CONTRACT
LiddIe & Pfsiffer Will Lay
"a Inch Extension.

Liddle & Pfeiffer were awarded
the contract for laying about 1000
feet of twenty-four-inch water main
at a regular meeting of the Board
of Water Commissioners last night.
The commissioners discussed at
length the condemnation proceedings
for extending the main across prop
erty of r. G.. Packard. Petitions
we're received for water main exten-
sions in Johnstone street and West
Side avenue, and several subjects of
minor Importance were handled.
Two bids were received for the
twenty-four-inch main extension as
follows: Liddle e Pfeiffer-Pipe,
90 cents a foot; yellow pine support,
$42 thousand board feet; clay pud-
die, s1.90 cubic yard. II. II. Holm
es, of Jersey City-Pipe, $1.85 a
foot; yellow pine, $50 a thousand
board feet; clay puddle, $1.45 a GU
bic yard.
In the opinion of City Surveyor
Mason and the commissioners, it was
stated the board could have proceed
ed to lay the main across R. G.
Packard's land without opposition ii
they had not notified him of their
intentions. When told of the pro
ject and rendered a check in pay
ment for rights, it Is declared, Mr.
Packard would not consent and the
city found 1t necessary to start con
demnation proceedings. Commits
sioner Fraser, chairman of the rea
estate committee, declared steps
were to be taken to hurry the pro
ceedings In order that the mali
could be completed. Mr.. Mason salt
about $40 feet of main was to be lait
across the Packard property, which
would probably not require more
than two days time.
Petitions for placing water ma1n
In Johnstone street, from Hall ave
nue. north to Meredith street, and il
West Side avenue, from Hall ayenu
to Meredith street, were sent owe
the usual course by being referred
to the committee on pipe.

GIRL MAKES 10000
BASKETS IN A DAY

When you buy your next basket
of grapes stop and reflect that the
American inventor has made it pos
sible for one girl to make four thou
sand of these baskets In a single
day. He has made it possible for
her to make twelve thousand berry
baskets a day. He has devised a
huge hydraulic forge capable of ex-
erting pressure of twenfH- eight
million pounds. ii5 mas made ma
chine which will weave wire net
ting heavy enough to serve as the
front of a tigers cage, and another
which will weave netting so fine that
there are forty thousand meshes to
the square inch. He can transform
iron ore into hairsprings worth thir-
teen times their weight In gold, OF
into steel which you may buy for a
few cents pound. s.
In all the world there Is not a
more fascinating story than the ac-
count of American invention. Here
indeed is truth stranger than fiction,
and fact more fascinating than fancy.
And never has this story been told
so accurately and impressively as In

having been found guilty by the Re-
publican senators of attempted ex-
tortion in connection with the acety-
lene gas bills. Senators Low nor
Barber are either or them likely to
be- considered for the leadership, so
that II Senator Fielder should be
placed in the Presidents chair, the
leadership will lie between Senators
Johnson, Slocum and Davis.
Scramble For Speakership.
There will undoubtedly be lively
Assembly. 1t is expected that sew
eral of the Hudson county assembly
men who we're in the house last year
will aspire to this position. The Hud-
son candidates with the largest ad-
vantage probably will be Thomas f.
Martin and Charles M. Egan, both
of whom were among the most ac-
tive assemblymen last winter, Mr..
Martin having been the Democratic
floor leader.
1t is likely that Assemblyman
Oliver c. Holcombe, of Hunterdon
county, will be a candidate for
speaker. This will be Mr.. Holcombe' g
fifth year as an assemblyman and he
thinks this entities him to special
recognition. Another assemblyman
who was reelected and who may
seek speakership honors is Charles
O'Connor Hennessy, of Bergen coun-
ty. The other Democratic assembly
man reelected and some of whom
may be considered for speakership OIL
leadership honors are: John +. klrk-
patrick, of Middlesex; Leon r. Tay-
lor. of Monmouth; Isaac S. Smick, OF
Salem, and Henry o. Carhart, OF
Warren.

quite a number of them carrying

with salaries of from $500 to $500
for the session, will also pass Int
Democratic hands. One of the thing
to be discussed next Tuesday by tn
Democratic and Republican leader
will be the dates for holding the re
spective party caucusses for the sc
lection of candidates for the organi
cation of the legislature on Jan
uary IA, 1913. 1t is likely that tn

the past three or four years, 1t
probable that the Senate caucusse
will be held two or three weeks late
than that date.

with one of the largest, IL not the
largest, pluralities ever given sena-
torial candidate in Middlesex. He
won by upwards of 2,700 plurality
and failed to carry but eight dis
tricts, in one of which he tied with
Mr.. Ten Brock, his Republican op-
ponent. The latter carried five dis
tricts, as follows: Cranbury, one
district; Jamesburg, New Brunswick,
second ward, one district; Piscata-

tied Ramsay in one district in Roose-

Judge Lyon Carries Two Districts.
Judge Lyon did not run as well as
expected by his Progressive friends.
He carried but two districts and tied
Mr.. Ten Brock for the lead in an
other. The districts he carried We're:
| Madison, Sayreville, one district. As
mentioned in the foregoing, he tied

district in South Brunswick. Dr.
Mason, Prohibition candidate ,polled
| a total of 196 votes, receiving DIS
heaviest support in his home town OF
Metuchen. 1t is conceded by many
that Judge Lyon would have re-
ceived the Prohibition strength If DR.
Mason had withdrawn, as many sug
gested early in the campaign.

politicians who are interested II

course, with a plurality estimated a
$4,000, which does not compare will

lowed second with plurality o
about 2,700. The plurality in War

Trenton, Nov. 1.-THE specific
announcement just made by Cover
nor Wilson that. he will not resign
the governorship until March 3. next,
means that he will retain in his

generally regarded around the State

tht he may not lose any of the grip
he has upon the state leadership of
his party. The principal appoint
