will have to decide for himself. The
delegates elected to support Roose-
welt were elected as Republicans
and they could not be expected to
sever connections with that party
unless they preferred to do so as in
~dividuals. There is no doubt, how
ever, that a majority of the Repub-
leans of New Jersey are decidedly
progressive and when it comes to a
choice between Taft and Roose-
welt, regardless of the party name
each mar bears, the Republican vot-
ers will be found behind Roosevelt.
The only condition that might
enter into the situation is the NOM
ination of Woodrow Wilson at Bal
timore. Should he become the
Democratic nominee there is no
doubt that thousands of Republicans
who voted for Roosevelt at the pri-
mary will go into the Democratic
column this fall and help elect the
governor to the presidency. Any
other nomination that maybe made
at Baltimore, however, will mean
that a large part Of the Republican
party of New Jersey will line up
with the ~progressives, leaving the
Republican party, a name only, to
be bossed as formerly by such men
as Murphy, Briggs and Baird, who
have made the party serve the inter-
ests SO long.

THE FIGHT AT BALTIMORE.

Those who thought that the Bal
timore convention would be q tame
affair compared with Chicago are
beginning to see differently. AS we
have already said, 1t was not to be
supposed that the special interests
would allow the Democratic party
! to nominate a progressive candidate
If they could help 1t,
Alton B. Parker is a man of the
same stripe Of Elihu Root, who was
chosen by the interests as temporary
chairman Of the Chicago conven-
ton. 1t was over Roots nomination
for the temporary Craftsmanship
that the first test of strength was
made at the Republican convention
and 1t is over Parker's nomination
that the first test is to be made be-
tween the progressives and the re-
dictionaries at Baltimore.
Just as the interests and the
bosses had control Of the national
committee at Chicago, so the inter
| ests are IN the majority in the com
mittee at Baltimore. and the indi-
cation now are that unless there Is
a more conciliatory spirit displayed
on both sides there Will be just as
bitter o fight at the Democratic con-
~vention as there was when the Re-
publicans met.
Bryan, who is leading the pro-
| gressives, finds himself in exactly
the same position as Roosevelt, the
Republican progressive leader,
found himself when the convention
opened at Chicago. He finds a hos
tile national committee which Is de-
termined to put through a program
that has been fixed UP by the reac-
t~ionaries. There Is bound to be q
bitter fight and 1t remains to be
seer whether Bryan will be more
successful than was Roosevelt in
seeking control Of the convention.

NEW JERSEY REPUBLICANS.

New Jersey Republicans have
reason to feel proud of the delega-
ton which they sent to Chicago to
attend the national convention Of
their party. There could be no mis-
understanding as to the issue in
this state. Thanks to Governor
Wilson, we have direct primary here
by which the people themselves ex-
press their choice as to who shall
be the nominee for president and at
the same time the voters elect by
direct vote the delegates who are to
go to the convention.
1t was a clean-cut fight between
Taft and Roosevelt forces in New
Jersey and the Roosevelt forces
won by a large majority. All the del
egates who were elected were known
to be In favor of his nomination and
they received the majority vote for
that reason. Therefore, when the
New Jersey delegation at Chicago
stood solidly with the Roosevelt
forces, and when having seen that
the convention was to be conducted
through fraud, and was controlled
by stolen delegates, the Jerseymen
with the other Roosevelt men did
right when they refused to have any
part in the proceedings. They have
conducted themselves with credit
and we believe that should the mat
ter be put to a vote their action
would receive the endorsement OF
the party by even a greater major
ity than was given at the recent
primary.
There was no installing as to the
stand of New Jersey throughout the
convention. The people at home
had spoken and the delegates were
there merely to represent the senti-
ment of the people. This is as 1t
should be, and we believe before an
other convention is held every state
will be similarly represented.
Whether or not these Jerseymen
will follow Roosevelt into the Pro
Kressive party is another question.
This is something that each man

WILSON NOT AFRAID.

One thing about Governor Will
son. we always know where he
stands. He believes in publicity.
There are no back-stair methods in
his way Of managing affairs. He
has nothing to conceal and is always
open and above board with the peo-
pie.
This characteristic of New Jer-
sey's governor Is strongly empha-
sized by the recent reply he sent to
| William Jennings Bryan. in regard
to Alton B.. Parker's candidacy for
the temporary craftsmanship Of the
| Baltimore convention. Bryan, as we
all know, is strongly opposed to
Parker.
When the subcommittee decided
that Parker should be temporary
chairman at the convention Mr..
Bryan tent kilograms to all the lead
ing candidates for the Democratic
| nomination, asking for their opinion
regarding this selection.
While practically all the men who
were thus asked to make a reply
sidestepped, Wilson at onc sen his
| opinion and did not hesitate to say
that he was opposed to Parker hold
ing such an office at the convention
unless he is the choice Of the major
ity of the convention.
Whether or not we agree with
Governor Wilson's idea IN this par
| ~tlcular, we must admire a man who,
regardless of the consequences, does
not hesitate to make himself plain
on every issue. All through his ad-
ministration as governor of New
Jersey, Mr.. Wilson has followed this
same policy. 1t is this policy more
than anything else that makes him
30 strong with the people.
He is head and shoulders above
all the other candidates who are
mentioned at Baltimore and Is the

DRESDEN IDEAS COME BACK
Revival Is Natural Result Of the
Fad That Calls for the PAN
nier Draperles.

With the revival of the pannier
draperies comes back decided en-
phasis on dresden silks. with all the
exquisite colorings that we associate
with the Dresden shepherdesses. Pinks
and blue. yellows and pale green are
the backgrounds on which are
sprinkled fascinating bouquets, gar
lands and even baskets Of flowers.
The dresden silks and satins are
particularly adapted to suit the
coates that are Incorporated on after
noon and evening frocks for summer.
They are not so striking In contrast
with plain. thin fabric and there is
great scope for color combinations and
flower effects.
The rose season. so noticeable in
fashions for the summer, is timely
one for Powered mulls, organdies, mus
Inns, voiles and chiffons with which the
dresden silks effectively combine.
Hats covered with dresden taffeta
are decidedly chic. Bridesmaids now
are favoring hats OF this type to con-
tinue. the idea Of the dresden coatee
thrown over simple and disable frocKs
of white or plain colors.
Little. dresden. silk slippers for the
rest hour add new touch to the
negMgee set, especially II bindings or
trimmings Of dresden silk be used on
the gown.
Dresden sashes, with an extra line
Of the ribbon quilting trailing in and
out among the lunches Of flowers, are
accepted by womankind as an idea
that makes the assurance Of beauty
doubiy sure.
It is undeniable that the dresden col
orings in designs that are varied and
inexpensive are a factor in the general
beauty OF summer styles. Are you
using them?
