THESE NAMES ARE ENOUGH.

Regular Republicans have opened
state headquarters in Newark and
are planning to conduct a vigorous
canvass, not only for the election of
Taft and Sherman, but for the regu-
lar Republican congressional nomi-
nees and the candidates for the state
legislature. 1t is announced that the
campaign is in the hands of the ex-
ecutiye committee composed of the
following men: Former Governor
Franklin Murphy, former Governor
Edward C. Stokes, State Treasurer
Daniel S. Voorhees,, former United
States Senator John Kean, Alfred N.
Dalrymple, of Essex; Theodore
Strong, of 4 hdlesex; David Baird,
of Camden; former Senator Edmund
w. Wakelee, of Bergen; former Gov
ernor John w. Griggs, of Passaic,
and Congressman John J. Gardner,
of Atlantic. State Senator Walter E.
Edge, of Atlantic county, is chair
man of the finance committee, and
this committee also is actively at
work reasing the necessary funds for
the campaign.
This list of names Is all that is
necessary. If the voters of New
Jersey want to return to the rule of
the old Board of Guardians, under
whose management the Public Serv-
ice Corporation, the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company and all the other
corporations get what they want, and
the people get nothing, they will
vote for the men favored by these
men.
If the voters of Middlesex county
wish to again enthrone "Dory"
Strong as the local boss, they will
mark their ballots so as to elect his
figureheads to the Legislature.
But it Is not necessary to play into
the hands of this old Board of Guar
dams this year. The Democratic
candidates are, to a large extent, pro-
gressives-although there are some
glazing exceptions. But besides the
Democrats, the Progressive party can
be depended upon to name men for
whom no one need hesitate to vote.
1t is time the old Board of Guardi-
nj were shown once for all that the
people of New Jersey are through
with them.

PROGRESSIVES GROWING.

There is no doubt that the follow
ers of the Progressive party are
much more active in Middlesex cOun-
ty thar are the regular Republicans.
The call that has been issued in
Spotswood, East Brunswick and
Madison townships for an organiza-
tion there, shows how the feeling is
spreading.
The popularity of Theodore
Roosevelt cannot be denied. There
Is nc doubt hat the rank and file of
the people have the utmost conf
dence in him and all the stories that
such men as Penrose, Lorimer, Arch
bold and others can tell will do him
little harm. Never before has a
third party sprung into existence
has the Progressive party through
out the United States.
AS far as Perth Amboy is con-
cerned there is not the slightest
doubt that the Progressives are in
p decided majority as far as 1t con-
Germs the Republican party. Wheth-
er or not a third party can win
enough Democrats to swell it's ranks
so as to carry the city at the election
in November remains to be seen.
{ Going outside of Middlesex, but
still in the third congressional dis
trict, we find the followers of the
Bull Moose just as active as they
are here. In Keyport a club is to be
organized and unless the regular
Republicans put a ticket in the field
that is satisfactory to the Roosevelt
followers third party candidates will
enter the race. More activities are
reported all along the line and as
Roosevelt warns up in his campaign
the third party Is bound to grow.
AS for President Taft, he is decid-
edly out of 1t at this time and will
Sink further and further into obscur-
lily as the election progresses. The
zeal fight is between Wilson and
Roosevelt, and as both men are thor
pughly progressive and car be relied

PUT WIRES UNDER GROUND.

The petition Of the iremen asking
the Board of Aldermen to have the
heavily charged feed wires of the
Public Service Corporation placed
under ground should be needed. AS
everyone knows, the Public Service
has erected one of the largest power
houses in the country on the water
front at the foot of Buckingham ave-
nue.. At this plant power is fur
nished for cities and towns through
out this section of the state. The
current is carried from the power
house on wires which have been
erected on unusually high poles
which pass through our streets and
so on throughout the country dis
tricts.
1t is understood that these wires
carry such a voltage hat they are
extremely dangerous to lives and
property. This may explain why
they are placed so high above the
ground. But everything erected in
the air in this manner is likely to
come down. Such storms as we had
a few days ago, in which the high
wind and hail did considerable dam
age, and more particularly the sleet
storms in winter, play havoc with all
overhead wire systems. To have a
wire of the voltage that these wires
are said to carry dangling on the
ground is extremely dangerous. The
firemen, who are frequently ham
pered by wires when fighting a blaze,
realize the danger, perhaps, more
than anyone else.
The wires cannot be placed be-
meath the ground any too soon, and
it is to be hoped no lives will be lost
before this improvement can be
brought about.
