nominations possible, corrupt
practices act and a public utilities
commission bill. All these measures
were written into the statute books
of New Jersey during the first year
of Gov. Wilson's term, in spite of
the fact that one house of the State
Legislature was Republican.
In addition a law was passed au-
thorizing municipalities to adopt a
commission form of government as
well as several other measures of a
reformatory character. While his
success in obtaining the passage of
these measures served to bring him
more prominently before the nation,
1t was his fight to obtain the cleo
ton of James T.. MARITIME to the
United States Senate to succeed
Senator John Kean which probably
focused the most widespread atten-
ton upon the New Jersey Governor.
In his prediction speeches Gov.
Wilson had given the pledge: THE
people of the State will be the boss,
the only boss"
When James Smith, Jr., leader of
the State machine which nomi-
mated Gov. Wilson, let ii be known
after the election that he expected
the senatorial toga, the Governor
espoused the cause of Mr.. MARITIME
the candidate chosen in the popular
primary. Gov. Wilson won his
fight.

rather turned against Wilson and
he lost ground in the Legislature.
Current comment In many quarters
was that the Governor had received
a rebuke for his activities the pre-
vious year but the Wilson adherents
claimed that he had been merely
knitted by the bosses Of the Dem
ocratic machine" In 'the New
Jersey Presidential primaries the
Governor retrieved his co-called
lost popularity by sweeping every
district except two in which Smith
and James Nugent made big fight
against him. OF the twenty-eight |
