ernor Wilson simply reminded them Of
the pledges contained in the platform
on which they secured their office, aud
that il was not their will but the peo-
pie they were there to carry out.
If this argument did not suffice 10
bring them into line nc would offer
to go with them into their respective
districts and debate the matter before
their clients.
After coming in contact few times
with such a Will and character the re-
calcitrant members threw UP their
hands and told the governor 10 60 as
far as ne Hkcd-thcy would oppose him
no further.
Then the New Jersey legislature,
mastered by its governor, proceeded to
enact reform measure after reform
measure. and before il had concluded
lis first session under Governor Will
son IL enacted into law such progress
siyc measures as 'Thc Corrupt Prac-
ticcs. act" tho employers liability act,

contained much that IS called radical
aud up TO this time the governor had

be stood four square on the platform
and dedicated all his energies and ahl'-
tiles TO the carrying out Of every
pledge contained in that platform: AS

held the Legislators TO the party pledges

affords one of the most interesting
chapters in American politics.

Defeats Big Boss.

The fight The governor had with the
reactiouarics in the Legislature was as
nothing compared with the opc he had
with tho big bosses ms soon as he
crossed the personal ambition Of Sena-
tor James Smith, Jr.
The latter was the biggest bi.parti-
SAN boss in the state lie had repre-
scented New Jersey once in tho United
States senate and he wanted to do it
again.
In ,he state primary election, how
ever, James MARITIME had received a
large ajority OF the votes in tho state.
Smith S name WAS not on the primary
ballot He had neglected TO put il

there was nothing for them to do but
TO ratify the Will OF the people.

mighty Smith He dared. and he won.
Naturally this brilliant record at
