from tho NEWS Correspondent.J J

Trenton, July 15:-IntimatinC
that the Regular Republican leaders
at the Chicago convention were re-
creant to their trusteeship in that
they did not work for a compro mise
candidate and platform that would
have united the party, and aIs-,ing s
that 1t Is better for the Prog-essives
to remain in the party rankr on
there fight for the peoples rights
and the nations welfare, former
Governor Edward Casper Stokes to-
day issued statement defining the
Republican situation as he sees It.
Ex-Governor Stokes, who will be q
candidate for United States senator
at the primaries in September, was
one of the pioneer Roosevelt men In
this state In the recent presidential
preference primary campaign, but
now refuses to desert the Republican
party and follow Colonel Roosevelt
into the third party.
Mr.. Stokes proposes unique
method of settling the contest for
the presidential electors between
President Taft and the colonel,
which, If adopted in the states where
the fight is raging, might eliminate
the danger Of neither candidate
having a majority of the Electoral
College, thus throwing the election
into the House of Representatives.
The former governors proposal is
that a set Of Republican presidential
electors be nominated at the state
convention pledged to the presiden-
tial candidate who shall be the
choice Of the convention; that the
same set of electors also be named
by petition by the opposite faction
of the party, with perhaps one elec-
tor different for purposes Of identi-
fication; and that this all be done
with the understanding that who
ever Of the two candidates shall re-
ceive the larger vote at the election
in November, shall receive the cleo
toraI vote. BY this plan, Mr.. Stokes
says, II Colonel Roosevelt polled the
larger vote the electors would vote
for him, while II President Taft was
given the larger vote he would be
the choice of the electors, provided
the Republicans carried the state.

PROTECTION At
CIGAR WORKS
Mayor Satisfied With Police
Guard Has Complaint

In the estimation of Acting Mayor
Garretson, Chief of Police Burke
and Alderman Seaman there is am
pie protection at the plant of the
Perth Amboy Cigar Works, despite
clare there is not ample protection
for those willing, but unable to go
to work because Of the strikers. The
city's chief executive and chief of
police were on the scene from $50
until 9 o'clock this morning to view
conditions. They declare they were
generally peaceful. At first a crowd
of about 800 strikers were about the
works, but that number dwindled
down to a much smaller number be-
fore 8 o'clock.
The officials were informed by
some Of the strikers that trouble
only arose when the employers
came out and attempted to pull
strikers In to work. If that was the
case the offending employers should
be arrested, Mr.. Seaman told Mr..
Garretson. The executive said there
was one case against an employer in
court. When the acting mayor In
formed Mr.. Seaman that fifteen po-
licemen were on guard at the plant,
the aldermen suggested they be CIV
en- other duties. Mr.. Garretson said
it was difficult to forecast what
might develop. He declared factory
officials wanted Arthur A. Quinn ar
rested for melting to riot.
The strike seems to have done
some good, In that 1t has made men
replace women as the support of
some families. According to infor-
nation received a. police headquar-
ters, women and children have been
the support of many Hungarian,
Polish and Slavish families. Since
the strike began q month ago the
women and children have not been
working and men in the families,
who 1t Is declared have been Idle,
are now working having been forced
to support their families.
Fifteen men are working under
Jerry O'Brien as special officers at
the cigar factory. The police declare
they have no authority to act as
special officers on public thorough
fares, despite the fact that some of
them do appear to patrol streets
about the works.
About 500 employees Of the New
Bruins wick Cigar Works returned to
work this morning. The police of
that city are inclined to believe all
the workers will return there in a
few days.

Buffalo, N. Y, July 15.-Joseph
Mccarthy, seventeen years old, OF
1O4 Armstrong street, Jersey City,
who looks fourteen years, is locked
up in the police station awaiting
the arrival Of the New York officers.
He is charged with having stolen
half a million dollars worth Of
checks and about 5000 in cash from
the United Cigar Stores Company.
The police say he has admitted his
guilt.
They claim he has told them that
when he was sent to the bank in
New York Saturday to deposit the
checks and money the sight of the
large amount of cash and checks
dazzled him. He decided that he
wanted to see the world and so
bought ticket to Kansas City,
where he hoped he might become
a cowboy. AS he did not want the
checks to get lost he left the train
at Albany and carefully hung the
bag containing them on fence
where they were later recovered and
turned over to the police. They
have since been turned back to the
main office OF the company in New
York. "A
