COMMITTEE OF HUDSON

JERSEY CITY. Sept. 27.-The an
nual meeting of the newly-elected Re-
publican County Committee. which
has been called for next Tuesday eve
ming, is awaited with much interest
/ in view of the results of Tuesdays
primaries. 1t is expected that the
Bull Moosers will be in full control of
the committee, as the primary cleo
tons resulted in almost a complete
defeat of the Dickinson party. Their
candidates for the Assembly were
Overwhelmingly defeated as Well as
the candidates for county committee
men.
AS Gilmore Kinney, the present
chairman, has strong ~leanings toward
the regular Republicans, 1t is under
stood thai he will be superseded by
former Tax Commissioner John Fl.
Weastall, who represents the Record
Rotterdam faction, which is in the
great majority in the new committee.

1a HE Senate committee to investigate campaign contribu-
tons is to resume it's sessions at Washington next Mon
day with it's enlarged powers. 1t was not realized when
the committee tbok up the case of Senator Penrose, who received
$4,000 from the Standard Oil Company, that the inquiry would
20 any further. The stage was set for that case only and in the
interest of Penrose. But the investigation got beyond control
The scope of inquiry will cover all the elections since 1900 and
the money contributed for the primary and general elections this
year, and some distinguished witnesses will testify, among them
Theodore Roosevelt and J. Pierpont Morgan. Partisan politics
will figure in the investigation, but the truth will come out, and
that is what the public wants.

Taft Predicts Business Unrest
Should His Party Lose at

BOSTON, Sept. 27.-President Taft,
in an appeal for support to the Com

League, nov in session in New
York. expressed the opinion that
business unrest will result IL the
Democratic party is successful in the
coming elections.
The President sent the league a
telegram, which is in part as follows:
The league has done so much good
in h past that It is of the utmost
Importance that it's influence should
be exerted in another national cam
paign, on the issue of which largely
depends, in my judgment, the con
tinuance of the great era of pros
perity, high wages and good profits,
which is now just opening to the pea
pie of this country.

country what encouragement they
will find and what new investments
they will feel like making if they

No n can affirm the extent of
the changes which would be effected
In our economic system by such a
result except from what has hap
pened in the past. The tariff would
Their be revised on Democratic prin-
ciples as shown by the Democratic
bills of the last two sessions of Con-

halted, business would be impaired
and the demand for labor would show

LOCAL ENTERPRISE AND FEDERAL AID.

NNUE notice was given at Washington two years ago that
~ government aid in river and harbor improvement would
be contingent upon the amount of enterprise displayed
by the localities in the development of their water fronts. And
It should be evident enough that appeals to Congress for appro-
priations for deepened channels would get quicker attention and
have more weight if the petitioners showed that they had antici
pated government aid by providing for docks and terminals.
The waterways in the vicinity of Newark are of great impor-
lance and if properly developed would be of enormous. benefit to
the towns situated thereon. But local enterprise does not go
much further than the holding of powwows. Newark made a
brave attempt to establish municipal docks, but the project has
stagnated in the Board of Works. The other towns have done
nothing.

0a HE meeting of President Taft and Governor Wilson at
Boston yesterday showed the utmost good feeling and
fellowship. 81 have always been fond of President Taft
said the Governor after the meeting. And nothing has occurred
since the nominations were made to change that sentiment. In
a recent address the Governor spoke in high terms of Mr.. Taft
and all of the newspapers that supported Mr.. Taft for the nomi-
nation speak as favorably of Governor Wilson. AT least it
cannot be said that the intense feeling in national politics this
year. due to Mr.. Tafts policies. is reflected in any way in the
relations of the Republican and Democratic candidates.
