How the Campaign Progresses
PROGRESSIVE Democratic. Republican
ROOSEVELT MEN
WILL Be BARRED
Comprehensive Plan Decided
Upon for Kidding O. o. P.
of All Progressives.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 1s.-Taft
managers have decided to call g.
meeting, or a series of meetings, of
the Republican State chairmen for
the purpose of reading Out of the
party organization of each State all
members of the third party.
This decision was reached after
National Chairman Hilles had re-
ceived a telegram from Harry M.
Daugherty, chairman of the Repub-
lican executive committee in Ohio,
where the those who are NOT with
us are against us" movement has
gathered considerable impetus.
The Taft committee plans to divide
the country into sections to make
chairmen to come together. At these
gatherings representatives of the i'd
ministration will speak, urging that
any candidate who accepts a Bull
Moose Endorsement or. nomination be
asked to resign from the Republican
party.
President Taft announced today
that he does not intend making
woman suffrage a campaign issue.
He is ~contending that states have
remained Republican or Democratic
regardless Of the extent of the suf-
frage agitation in them, and does not
believe 1t. will help his cause amy
to make an attempt to gain feminine
goodwill by discussing the votes

WATCHING BULL MOOSE DEVELOPMENT.

TT he beginning of the Progressive campaign at Providence
Il and Boston last week was critically watched by the other
party managers to see what vitality it would show, and
there was enough in the two demonstrations, occurring as they
did in New England cities where it had been believed that the
hull Moose sentiment was limited, to show that the third party
is a proposition to be seriously dealt with. Mr.. Roosevelt, in
reply to a question at Boston, said that Taft was "a dead ISSUE
How far he was right will be seen later in the campaign, but
the situation as now developing would indicate that the struggle
will be between the Democrats and the Progressives. When that
conviction fully takes hold of the minds of Republican voters
and they realize that an old party vote will practically mean a
vote in the air, to which candidate will many of them transfer
their support, the Democratic or the Progressive? The results
of the State elections in Vermont and Maine next month will
largely determine the attitude of a multitude of Republican
voters. An apparent reaction for Taft in those States will serve
10 arrest an exodus from the Republican party in the rest of
the States and revive the dropping hopes of the Republican man
ayers. Democratic success will be hopeful, anyway, for that
party. But an imposing exhibit of Bull Moose strengthen States
that have been least responsive to Progressive sentiment will
have a significance beyond calculation. 1t may start the Re-
publican exodus. = - f-s-E#

JESS OUT FOR CONGRESS

CAMDEN, Aug. 19.-Announcement
has been made of the candidacy OF
frank B. Jess, president of the State
Tax Board, for Congress on the Pro-
gressive ticket in the First district,
comprising Camden, Gloucester and
Salem counties.
Congressman Browning will in all
probability be named by the Repub-
licans for denomination without op-
position, but, an active contest Is
promised for the Republican nominal
ton for surrogate. If Assemblyman
George w. Whyte continues as a cam
didate for the nomination against
Harry C. Reeves, of Gloucester City,
the incumbent, there will be at least
one new name on the Republican As
sembly ticket. His colleagues, Isaac
Coles and Albert De hunger, are out
for denomination and will IN all prob
ability have the support of the 'regu-
lars. H
Considerable sentiment appears to
have developed for D.. Edward Crav-
en-, of Salem, for the Democratic
nomination for Congress. He is be-
lieved to be the choice of the follow
ers of Governor Wilson. John T.
Wright, Of Camden, is a candidate
also for the Democratic nomination.
There appears to be much dissen-
sion in Camden Democratic ranks
since an effort has been made to side
track former Judge Wescott for
United States senator in favor of
Representative Hughes. 1t is be-
lieved also that the Governor leans
toward Hughes in the primary pref
erence race.

Governors Day celebration.
The Governor arrived here late last
night after spending Sunday in New
York. He slipped away quietly early
in the morning and went to one of his
clubs. AS he kept his whereabouts
secret he could not be located, even
when Senator O'Gorman and Judge
O'Sullivan, of New York, called to see
him. On his return Governor Wilson
expressed his regret at missing his
friends, but announced that his day
of quiet had put him in splendid
shape for another busy week.
Vice-C Chairman McAdoo, of The
Democratic, national committee, has
put into operation a plan for rlle ra-i
ceipt and distribution of campaign
contributions on which he has been
working for some time. Mr.. Nc
Adoo's proposal is that every bank
and trust company receive money IN
tended for campaign purposes from
their depositors and transmit it to
the. committee for which it is intend
ed. He has sent out a few thousand
circular letters to banks throughout
the country asking that this scheme
be given consideration. This method
of receiving contributions Mr.. Nc
Adoo intends also for the Republican
and Bull Moose parties.
Governor Wilson gave his indorse-
to the scheme when it was ex-
planned to him.

NRWARK,S MAYORS.

1NHE Republican County Committee selection of a mayoralty
III candidate for the September primaries is expected to be
made tonight, and the committee in naming its choice for
the candidacy will be careful to fix upon a man of unexception.
able character as well as an undoubted Taft partisan, though
not perhaps a loudly proclaimed one. In effect national politics
has nothing to do with municipal government and a good
mayor, like the present one, is acceptable in his administration
to citizens of all parties. 1t is an indisputable fact that the
best mayors Newark has had since its incorporation were Demo
cratic mayors. In the last fifty years the mayoralty office has
been filed thirtysx years by Democrats and fourteen years by
Republicans. Seven Democratic mayors served an average of
more than five years each, their reelection for successive terms
attesting their faithfulness to public duty.

gressive Party.

| onel Roosevelt is back home at Saga

Wednesday, when he goes to Wilkes
| barre, Pa, to make the initial speech
of his Western campaign. This will
be delivered at the golden jubilee
of Father Curran, and the colonel has
announced that 1T will be entirely
extemporaneous.
Roosevelt is anxious to begin mix
ing things with Governor Wilson.
He has said that the Presidential
campaign this year is merely two
sided-between the Progressive party
and the Democrats-and while he
does not intend opening hostilities by
attacking Wilson he is awaiting the
first onslaught of the New Jersey
Governor so that he can train his
guns on him.
The colonel has expressed himself
as much pleased with the speech
made by Governor Wilson at Sea
Grit Saturday, declaring that VIII
sons arguments were splendid ones
for the Progressive party.
I'VE are not saying we are like
the Democrats" he said, "but the
Democrats are saying they are like
the Progressives."

f1dent mood after the receptions ac-
corded him at Providence and Boston

THE CONVICT BRAND IN SOCIETY,".

0Ta HE case of a former criminal and convict who reformed,
ii entered business in Philadelphia. lived an honest and
correct life and was finally elected on a reform ticket as
a member of the Philadelphia City Council and served credit
ably until he was recognized on the street by a former fellow
convict, has all the elements of a dramatic story. Victor Hugo's
Jean Vatican was a man who was unjustly convicted and i'm
prisoned. When released he was bounded by the police. Coun-
Gilman Burke was lost to the police vigilance when he left his
prison and but for a chance meeting on the street his criminal
record would have been wiped out. 1t was his past that came
back to identify him. But should this man who became a useful
member of society be now cast out? The moral sentiment of
Philadelphia revolts, says mo" and the world will applaud.
And the example of Councilman Burke will have a potent in.
suence for the reformation of many a man with good native
qualities of character who has been led into criminal courses
and bears the convict brand.

THE OYSTER "sEASoN" APPROACHES.

TN P to midnight of a week from next Saturday the oyster
~ will not be fit to eat. The next moment the same oyster.
perhaps dredged some days earlier and kept on ice. will
become perfectly wholesome, for it will be the first dv of
September. Consequently the South Jersey oystermen are pre-
pairing for the opening of the season. which will be ushered in
by the temperance of the letter "T' in the calendar. II is
satisfactory to note that the crop of bivaIves is of unusual size
and quality. But there ought not to be any open or closed
season for oysters, grown on clear grounds and properly cared
for. The "r' tradition is one of the most venerable of super.
stitious humbugs.

Hall United Colored Democracy. of

has sent out an appeal to negro
voters of the country to support the
Democratic ticket this fall. 1t is
pointed out that the Republican
party of Lincoln has passed away,
and that the policy of the present
party is ito build up a white Re-
publican party by eliminating the
colored citizens of the South The
cces of this policy, says the state
ment, mean the breaking of the solid
South and the loss to the Democratic
party of some Southern States.
