Ever since the proposition was first

Brokerage has become necessity
in the selling of goods and property
of any kind. This has been demon
strated over and over again in the
business world.
The stockman is not an exception
to this rule; indeed he is much more
in need of the services of a COM
petent broker than those in most
other usiness because of the dis
tance. from the market to the buyer.
1t requires man of experience
to handle property of any kind and
especially is this true in the handling
of sheep, cattle, horses and mules,
AMI other live stock. The middle
man is a necessity. But he must
have thorough knowledge Of the
business. In this issue Of the GUAR

Nomination and Election.

Trenton, June 1S.-Governor Will
son is the strongest candidate that
can be named for the Presidency,
will be given the nomination at Bal
timore next week and will be elected
President next November, in the
opinion of the Democratic Congress
men of New Jersey. Six of the seven
congressman came to the State
House from Washington yesterday
afternoon and conferred with Gov
ernor Wilson on the party outlook.
Fresh from mingling at Washington
with Democrats who favor the va
rious respective candidates and after
having canvassed the situation with
the advance guard at Baltimore, the
congressman told the Governor that
he would win the place as head of
the Presidential ticket.
AS they outlined the situation, the
real fight will be between Governor
Wilson and Speaker Champ Clark.
The visitors told the Governor that
he was, undoubtedly, the strongest
candidate, all things being consid-
cred and that this would be shown
on the first ballot. This, they claim
ed, would lead to a break in the
Clark ranks in favor of the New
Jersey Governor, and that before
many ballots were taken Governor
Wilson would win the necessary two
thirds vote to give him the nomi-
nation. The congressman were all
enthusiastic as to the Governors
prospects.

GEBHARDT SAYS
He IS CLEARED
D~isbarment Proceedings
Against Senator Dropped.
CFrom the NEWS Correspondent

CFrom the NEWS Correspondent
Trenton, June Senator Will
liam c. Gebhardt, leader OF one of
the Democratic factions of Hunter
don county. issued a statement yes
terday announcing that he had been
cleared of the disbarment proceed
ings which were brought against him
several months ago. He charged
that the action was inspired by
former Prosecutor George X. Large,
of Hunterdon county, who is one of
the leaders in the other Democratic
faction of the county. Large trains
with the wing of the party known
as The Pirates" of which the head
is former Senator James n. Pidcock.
The Gebhardt cohorts are known as
The Holy Rollers" and for years
the two factions have been bitten en-
emies.
In his announcement yesterday,
Senator Gebhardt declared that the
Supreme Court had refused a rule
requiring him to show cause why he
should not be disbarred, thus abso-
lutely freeing him of all the charges.
Senator Gebhardt said in part as fol
lows:
This motion to disbar me was
Nmade by former Attorney General
Robert II. McCarter, on behalf of
George K. Large, eX-Prosecutor of
IIunterdon county, backed by polit-
zeal and personal enemies of mine,
and other interests, and it eve had
any foundation in truth. Large was
Perth Amboy evening news., 1912-06-21

indicted by the September Grand
Jury Of Hunterdon county, for viola
ton of the election laws, and this
was the immediate cause of his at
tempting this proceeding. OF course,
he blamed me for his indictment.
The truth is that l had nothing what
ever to do with the indictment and
was not in the slightest degree re
spOnsible for it."
The main charge against Senator
Gebhardt was that he had tried to
tfuence the drawing of juries to
favor his clients. In his statement
he denied this charge and claimed
that~the real situation was that he
had always fought against jury fixing
in Hunterdon county.
