lferred to declare Mr. Grosscup was too
busy last Tuesday looking after his
own interests and SO practically rem
dered no assistance to MI. Tumulty,
the Governors secretary in the battle
to make H~ennessy speaker. This &C
ton, it is said, may lose Mr.. Grosscup
several votes in the Legislature for
state treasurer. 1t is now regarded
as pretty certain that Comptroller
Edwards will go into the ~treasurer's
office and hat Mr.. Grosscup will have
to content himself with the state
comptrollership.
Another result of the Hennessy de-
feat is to blast the hopes of Joseph
M. Noonan, OF Jersey City, of getting
the Hudson county prosecutorship
from Governor Wilson. Noonan,
who aspires to be prosecutor, is the
brother-in-law~ of Sheriff N. Peter
Wedin. Sheriff Wedin failed to de-
liver the three anti-Wittpenn Assem-
bill votes to Hennessy last Tuesday,
although he was at the State House,
and this, 1t is considered, has made
him PERSONA non grata in the Gov
ernor's office as far as this appoint
ment Is concerned.
The appointment by Governor Will
son Of County Clerk Charles F.
Thompson, of Bergen county, as
Interstate Park Commissioner, to
succeed former Assemblyman Abram
DeRonde, of ~Englewood, is taken as
an indication OF the Governors dis
pleasure over the defeat Of Hennessy.
County Clerk Thompson is identified
with the Observation-Disclosures
wing Of the Bergen Democracy, which
has stood and Is standing definitely
for the Wilson policies. DeRoEde, in
1911, when former State Senator
Smith tried to beat James E. Mar
tine for the United States senator
ship, came to Trenton to work
against MARITIME and to aid Smith.
Thompson's appointment Is accepted
as a sign that any future appoint
ments the Governor may have to
make he will ignore those who con-
tributed to the defeat Of Assembly
man Hennessy for speakership.

A Washington clubman finds a GER

How are you this morning?" asked
the optimistic person as he encounter

Voice of tho Tioer

The tiger may be "shod with silence"
but he has a voice that is terrifying.
1t Is said the voice Of the tiger, a won

most m%ournful, but the most terrifying,
OF jungle sounds and that 1t is a power

The Sea Horse.

This fish Is found In the Atlantic
ocean around the coast Of Spain, the
south OF France, In the Mediterranean
and in the Indian ocean. Sea horses
are very small and have been found
often curled up in oyster shells. The
head Is much like that of a horse, and
the rings around the body and tail re-
semble those of some csterpillars. The
habits Of these fishes are singular and
interesting. They swim with a wav-
Ing motion and frequently wind their
tails around the weeds and PUSHES.
They have fms to sustain them in the
water and even In the air. They live
worms, fishes, eggs and substances
found In the bottom of the sea.

EFFECT OF THE
CAUCUS FIGHT
Democrats See Trouble Ahead
Result Of Spsakership.
(From the NEWS Correspondent

NfToW the NE WS C0rreSpondent.)
Trenton, Dec. 13.-There is con-
siderable talk as to how the defeat
of Assemblyman Charles O'Connor
Hennessy, of Bergan county, the
Governors candidate for speaker of
the Assembly, will effect the Demo-
cratic political situation, particu-
larly in North Jersey. State House
politicians declare that the defeat OF
Hennessy and the success of State
Senator j.. A. G. Johnson, of Bergen,
in securing the position of President
pro TEN of the Senate will increase
the friction between Senator Johnson
and Assemblyman Hennessy. Sena-
tor Johnson has never been regarded
as any too cordial supporter of Gov
ernor Wilson and It is claimed that
he did not lift a finger to aid Hen
messy in the fight for the speaker
ship. Friends of Mr.. Hennessy de-
clare that the defeated candidate will
continue his fight for Progressive
principles throughout the session,
and that next fall he will become a
candidate for State Senator against
Senator Johnson.
Some State Democratic leaders do
not hesitate to say that the outcome
of the speakership fight will lessen
the chances OF State Chairman Ed
Xard Grosscup winning the State
Treasurership. Several members of
the Democratic State Committee and
prominent state leaders like Robert
s. Hudspeth have decided for
Mr.. Grosscup for treasurer, although
State Comptroller Edwards is also
seeking to succeed State Treasurer
Voorhees,. Some of the leaders re-

THERE is DANGER IN
NEGLECTING THE TEETH

Without perfect teeth one can not
enjoy perfect health. Many dangerous
diseases can be traced to decayed or
faulty teeth. The food can not be
properly masticated, germs develop and
are carried directly into the system
through the stomach.
Do not take chances. Have your teeth
put in perfect repair. You'll look bet =
ter, feel better and live longer.
