.ANTI-WILSON PLOT IS
LAID BARE BY LATHROP
Tells in Detail of the National
Observation-Disclosures
Combine

WASHINGTON, March John Z.
Lathrop, Washington correspondent OF
the Newark Evening News, the leading
newspaper of New Jersey, has written
an Illuminating story for his paper, to
show that Speaker Clark, Governor
Harmon and Representative Underwood
ARE running together like brothers" in
an effort to keep Gov. Woodrow Wilson
from getting the Democratic nomina-
ton. The Newark Evening News is an
Independent newspaper in it's politics,
and plays no favorites
Mr. Lathrop declares that there is
good reason to believe that Clark, Har-
mon and Underwood have partitioned
the United States, each pushing his
candidacy in certain sections and re-
naming inactive in others.
LATHROP'S STORY.
Mr.. Lathrop's story follows
THAT there will have to be serious
consideration of the claim that there
has been a partitioning of the United
States between Clark, Underwood and
Harmon. to beat Wilson for the Demo-
cratic nomination for the presidency, is
now assured. The further facts that
have been discovered relating to the
affiliations of the three anti-Wilson can
didates are regarded as startling in
their bearing on the issues of the cam
paign preceding the Baltimore conven-
ton.
cit had been learned that. the cam
paign for Champ Clark in Missouri is
managed and financed by banking. rail-
way, trolley mad lighting interests in
that state which are controlled by ].
P. Morgan. 1t is now found that the
manager for Clark here, former Senator
Dubois, of Idaho, and his closest adviser
here, former Senator Pettigrew, of
South Dakota, have been allied with
the railway interests of James J. Hill,
who is an associate of Mr.. Morgan.
1.-THE Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
railway is one of the Hill Morgan prop
critics. Henry Davidson is a member of
the banking firm of j. p. Morgan & Co.
He succeeded George w. Perkins in the
firm, after Mr.. morgan and Mr.. Perkins
quarreled over the authority to be ex-
ercised by Jack Morgan, son of J. P.
ANTI-WILSON FUNDS.
Mr.. Carroll is counsel for the Bur-
lingtOn road.
mir. Davidson, according to the best
authority, has been instrumental in
raising the funds for the anti-Wilson
fight. Mr.. Carroll, according to the
same authority, has been assigned the
task of distributing it.
PETTIGREW AND DUBOIS.
Former Senator Pettigrew, of South
Dakota, when he left the senate, was

N do Nut BELIEVE tnere is any
thing that will bring more
happiness or more pleasure to
the average man or woman than
absolute independence. BY this,
mean the@farmer who is living at
home and boarding at the same
place, who is out of debt, and has
plenty around him to make him
feel like he has succeeded and is
absolutely independent OF the out
side world, and can live without
having to be dependent on the mer-
chants, bankers and cotton bulls or
bears or any other one. This OPP
portunity is in the reach of every
farmer in the state of Georgia and,
in less than three years, If the
farmer will make up his mind to do
so, he could put himself in this
condition and be absolutely indie
pendent of anyone for living for
himself and family.
WORK FOR FUTURE.
In my opinion. the only way to
do this is to start out first by max
ing up his mind not to work for
the dollar so much for today, but
for the future even If it takes three
to five years for it to come. It will
surely come if he will make up his

FROM the interview between the
president of the D., M. & V. Rail
road Company and a committee OF
the Board of Trade of Milford
which was held last Friday in
Broad Street Station, Philadelphia,
it was plain that under the present
conditions it will be an impossibility
for the people of Milford and vicin-
ity to expect that new depot will
be built very soon but it was made
clear that the purpose Of the direc-
tors of this branch of the railroad
were favorable to making consider
able betterment of the conditions
existing at Milford. The assurance
was given that the president of the
company 5would urge that train
sheds be constructed, the platforms
heightened, toilets and lavatories
be installed, the depot be repainted
and repaired so as to be comfort
able, and additional lights be To-
Gated in and about the station.
While this is not all that was hoped
would be accomplished, yet it is so
much that the committee realized
that the deficiency in the finances
Of the road for the present year,
Should this be brought about at
once), will be satisfactory to the
management. One of the pressing
needs at the Milford station is that
tressel or pocket be constructed
rom which cars can be unloaded,
Ind the town will do we'll to permit
ne use of the edge Of Jefferson
Street for this purpose.

Milford chronicle., 1912-06-21

at the time the taxes having just
been assessed, the county is without
funds to pay road orders, the col
lectors have been able to get the
first money collected with which to
pay for road work. We think the
Comptroller is correct in his ruling
and it is much more business-like
to have all tax money paid into the
county treasury and the road money
paid out to overseers as other moneys
are paid out. The law creating a
comptroller and providing for ac-
counting, ETC., is a new one, and
the Levy Court is probably not to
blame for its oversight in this mat
ter. It is a serious weakness in our
tax system not to provide for funds
for the spring road work"
This is another proof that our
present tax laws are in urgent need
Of revision, and that the methods of
collecting should be changed at
once to a more business-like way of
conducting the county affairs. Let
the people think ov,r this matter
we'll.

IT is high time that action fol-
lowed the repeated criticisms of the
practice which has grown common
in all parts of Kent and Sussex
counties, where no fence intervenes
between the fields and the roadway,
Of blowing up part of the public
road, or dragging harrows and filth
rom the field out into the roadway.
This is not only a nuisance, but
causes the county damage to the
public highways. On this subject
the Index of Dover last week said
editorially;
There are two violations of the
road laws noticeable to those who
travel the roads. One is the plac-
ing of the trimmings of thorn hedges
in the road, and the other and more
common Is the cultivating into the
roads. The first of these offences is
punishable by fine Of $50 and the
second is an obstruction of a drain
and punishable BY fine of $40 It
Is the duty Of the road overseers to

WHEN the law creating a county
comptroller was enacted by the last
legislature, it was opposed vigor-
ously by the present attorney for the
Kent County Levy Court, James NJ.
WolcOtt, and quietly by the hold
over members of that body, and the
same opposition was found to exist
in most Of the offices of Sussex
county ard the Levy Court at
/ Georgetown. But the comptrollers
were appointed and have organized
the department so effectively that
now the people and even the levy
courts themselves see the wisdom
Of a capable and strong com ptroller-
ship to steer the county finances and
save the taxpayers money. In Kent
county Comptroller Luf has had an
uphill fight against the attorney
for the levy court and the members
themselves, but he has persisted in
having the money of the people
expended according to the laws,
and those who opposed him were
too foxy to permit an open clash to
take place, which would have
thrown them under the lime-light
of publicity and exposed their
methods. It is now so plain that
the comptrollership will keep the
grafters from pursuing their illegal
that the weight of public
opinion has compelled the Levy
Court of Kent county to provide a
,lerk for the Comptroller at times
when such clerk is needed, and to
'ther ways uphold him in enforcing
he laws as made. This is their
.ober second-th thought, as the people I
would not stand for the practices of =
