LIMIT TICKETS FOR
BAPTIST EXCURSION

How about your ticket for the
Baptist excursion up the Hudson,
scheduled for Tuesday, July 16?
The steamer "Sirius," Of the Iron
Steamboat Company, will leave the
steamboat dock, this city, promptly
that morning at $50. The number
Of tickets Is limited. Only 700 Of
the 1900 tickets issued are on sale
in this city, the remaining 500 being
distributed among the cooperating
Sunday schools. A boat excursion
is not like a rtain excursion, when
more cars may be added if there are
a greater number than expected.
Those who wait until the morning of
the excursion may be disappointed
in finding that all the tickets have
been taken. Last year 1922 tickets
were disposed of before the day of
the excursion; this year there will
be more thus sold. They may be
procured in this city at Barnekov &
PETE, McCready's, and Therkelsen's.
The day is only ten days distant.
1t will be a picnic outing, every
body bringing his own lunch and
supper with him. OF course, sand
wiches. ice cream, cake, tea, coffee
and soft drinks may be had on
board. But there's no telling when
the supply may be exhausted.
Every had an excellent time last
year; everybody Is looking forward
to an equally good time this year.

IN RUNNING FOR
STATE SENATOR
StreitWolf's Announcement
Brings Out Other Names.

New Brunswick, July S:-Assem-
blyman A. c. ~Streitwolf's announce
ment that he is a candidate for state
senator, to succeed George S. Silzer,
has started a new campaign in the
dead beat of summer. 1t became
evident today that Mr.. Streitwolf will
have plenty of opposition for the
nomination.
The County Democratic Committee
has endorsed no one as yet for the
place. Two names are being men
toned for the honor by prominent
Democrats and it is believed that the
county committee will endorse one
of them. City Treasurer w. Edward
Florance is the man local Democrats
would like to seeNtake the nomina-
ton. 1t Is argned that he would
make a brilliant representative from
Middlesex. 1t is believed that Mr..
F~lorance would accept the nomina-
ton If it is rendered to him by a
united party.
DR.. William E. Ramsay is declared
to be the choice of Perth Amboy
Democrats. He has served in the
assembly and while he declined an
other term, it is believed that he
would not be opposed to sitting in
the upper house. He was an able
representative of Middlesex. He
would have the support of the medi-
cal societies Of the state, in whose
interests he 1abored while in the
assembly.
Local Democrats point to the fact
that Perth Amboy now holds the two
big@appointive offices, sheriff and
county clerk, and believe that the
senator should come from this city.
Perth Amboy replies that this city
has the offices of judge and prosecu-
tor, both a%ppointive. The prosecu-
torship, however, al hardly be
charged up to New Brunswick, as Mr..
Silzer lives in Metuchen.
If Prosecutor Silzer should have
the privilege of naming his own sue
cessor, he would undoubtedly name
Assemblyman John P. Kirkpatrick,
of ~Jamesburg, who now has a law
office in this city with Prosecutor Sill
ger. Mr.. Kirkpatrick made al eff
cient assemblyman and is a bright
young man.
The nomination this year is con-
sidered as good as an election by the
DeL1OcTdtS. WIFI W1ISOH . HdI1S ct
the head of the Democratic ticket it
is believed that there will be a clean
sweep in Middlesex and the rest of
the state. That accounts for the
lively interest being taken in the
nomination.
Mr.. Streitwolf has sent personal
letters to all of the Democratic lead
ers of the county stating his reasons
for entering the ace and asking for
their support.

.JERSEYMEN GO
To OYSTER BAY
Colby and Whiting Had Lun-
cheon With Roosevelt.

Newark, July S:-Former Senator
Everett Colby and Borden D. Whiting,
the newly-elected Republican national
committeeman from New Jersey, took
luncheon with Theodore ~Rosevelt at
Oyster Bay yesterday and plans for the
formation of the new third party we've
discussed. Among others present were
George w. Perkins and Frank A. Mum
-sey, two of the most prominent Roose-
welt leaders in the recent primary
fight.
cit was more of a social than a
political gathering" said Mr.. Colby
last night. "Of course, we discussed
in a general way the outlook for Col
onel R~oosevelt's campaign, but we
came together for no definite purpose
nor to lay down any line of action. The
convention will do that"
Mr.. Colby said last night he did not
wish to speak for the Roosevelt men
in New Jersey concerning what the
plan of battle would be IN this state.
He said the program would probably be
outlined at the meeting of Roosevelt
leaders to be held tonight in the office
of former Governor Franklin Fort in
the Essex building.
Mr.. Colby's attention was called to
the statement of Governor Hirsm
johnson, of California, where there is
the same kind of a primary law as in
New Jersey. Governor Johnson said
the Roosevelt men in California would
make a fight to nominate the candidates
for the legislature, who in turn would
select electors for the head of the Re-
publican ticket, who would vote for
Roosevelt in the electoral college. 1t
would then be up to the Taft organiza-
ton to name electors by petition.
Thinks Plan Feasible.
Mr.. Colby agreed that the plan was
a perfectly feasible one for the New
Jersey Roosevelt men to follow, but
was not prepared to say whether it
would be put into effect here or not.
Nominating electors by petition pres
ents no difficulties in this state. The
Prohibition and minor parties always
select their candidates in that manner
Mr.. Whiting has received an invita-
ton from President Taft to visit him
at the White House tonight. Mr..
Whiting said an important engagement
would keep him from going to Wash
ington and that he would send his re-
grets.
1T presume" he said, "that the in
vitation came TO me as the national
committeeman from New Jersey. Ma
turally, 1 appreciate the honor of an
invitation from the President of the
United States and realize that it is
almost a duty to accept"

TAX BOARDS OF
STATE in LINE
MiddIesex Body Starts Move
ment to form Association.

In an effort to further the work
of the Commission on Tax Assess
.ments, recently established by the
legislature, the Middlesex County
Board of Taxation is planning a
state association for the county
boards. Secretary William A. Spen-
Ger, Of this city, sent communica-
lions today to the other twenty tax
boards in the state, asking for their
cooperation in this work. If ia
vorable replies are received, the
twenty-one boards, each consisting
of three members and a secretary,
will probably meet at Trenton this
month and complete plans for the
new association. Commissioner
William Carman, of Metuchen, for
mer president of the M1ddlesex coun-
ty board, suggested the step.
Secretary Spencer's letter is as
follows:
Perth Amboy N. j.,
July 8, 1912.
"Gentlemen.-At the last regular
meeting of this board on suggestion
by William Carman, ex-president of
the board, 1t was voted that the fol-
lowing communication be sent to
each of the county boards for It's
consideration. On joint resolution
for the appointment of a commission
to investigate the present methods
of making assessments for taxes
throughout the state and report
whether changes are advisable, was
passed at the last session of the leg
islature and accordingly a commits
sion has been duly appointed and
organized.
ut is the opinion of our board
thai such a step taken by the leg1s-
lature will be of untold benefit, pro-
vided that the County Boards take
a deep interest in the same. In
some respects the interest of the
counties in regard to the state tax
is one which affects all taxing dis
tricts alike and that alone is suffi-
cient reason that the County Boards
should cooperate with each other as
well as with the State Commission.
We are free to confess that the pres
ent system of levying assessments
for taxes is not the best and that
equal full and fair valuations
throughout the different counties is
not being secured. Therefore. a
remedy for the, same is a question
to be considered.
This Board, by way Of sugges-
ton, desires to get your opinion as
to the advisability of organizing a
State association of the Tax Boards
for the purpose Of carrying out the
true intent and meaning of the tax
lays and to recommend to the legis-
lacure or commission appointed
the State for such purpose such
changes necessary to promote and
carry out the full intent Of the law
relative to the levying of taxes. 1t
is suggested that a meeting Of the
Tax Boards of the State, together
with their secretaries be held at
some central point to discuss the
present system of taxation and to
aid the commission recently APP
pointed to Investigate the same. II
such a. meeting meets with your ap-
prevail, kindly have your secretary
Sc notify this Board and arrange
ments will be made to carry out the
anne
IAN early reply will be appre-
ciated.
Very truly yours,

ENFORCE LAW
Motor Vehicle Superinten-
dent Having Much Trouble
from the NEWS Correspondent

fpTOWt tHc ~ no TJooPCH0o"sr
Trenton, July State Motor
Vehicle Commissioner Job H. Lip
pincott is finding great difficulty in
enforcing the Is days provision of
the new automobile reciprocity law.
He said today the new statute had
brought hundreds of nonresident
motorists and with only 8 inspectors
1t is practically impossible to see
that they are not allowed within the
state mare than 10 days. The chief
trouble just now is at the seashore
resorts.
Many of the garages at the shore
resorts are filled with nonresident
automobiles and the same is true Of
countless resorts in North Jersey
said Mr.. Lippincott today. Contin-
uing, he declared that with only
eight inspectors to watch all these
garages in a way to see thai the law
is not violated is difficult. The
eight inspectors cannot give all their
time to watching this phase Of the
trafficking, for they must also watch
the highways to see that the speed
limit laws are enforced. Mr.. Lip
pincott thinks that there should be
at least 25 inspectors and it Is prob
able that the next Legislature will
be asked to increase the number.
Commissioner Lippincott has or
dered all of the eight inspectors to
the seashore temporarily to inspect
the garages in an effort to detect
the vtolators of the Is day provi-
sion. In each instant where a non
resident automobile is found in this
state for more than Is days the
will be forced to take out a
regular state license. The Commits
sioner has had large posters printed
giving the provisions OF the law and
the intention to enforce them, and
these will be posted in the garages.
