NV OF merely the important laws repassed by the Legislature
AN this year over the veto of the Governor, after a twelve
days recess, are involved in the Supreme Court de-
dreds of laws passed at previous sessions and signed by
Governors after the Legislative session ended. For many years
the legislature at each session left several hundred bills
upon the hands of the executive. There are two exceptions.
Governor Voorhees, held that every bill should be acted
on by him prior to adjournment. Governor Fort at the
of his administration interpreted the Constitution
as the Supreme Court now does, and arranged to dispose of
all leftover bills within the five days limit. None of the acts
of the three LegisIa lures during the Fort administration is
compromised by the decision. Governor Forts rule was aban-
doned by the present Governor. The opinion by the Supreme
court embraces all bills whether repassed or signed after the
five days period, since at the expiration of that limit the bill
Is dead and cannot, therefore, be vtaized with a signature.
Last year the Legislature adjourned sine die on April p, and
the last day on which a legislative act had any vitality was
April 26. Several HUNDRED bills were left on Governor Wilson's
hands. OF these bills 100 were signed by Governor Wilson
utter the constitu tional time limit had expired, and as late as
June Z. These bills are now numbered from 222 to $50, chapters
of the laws of 1912 They include all the appropriation bills
and a large number of important enactments relating to munich
paHties, insttutions, the series of school acts establishing the
present system of public education, the employers liability act
and other labor acts, the act for the erection of a building for
criminal insane, acts relating to fish and game, to taxation,
Fairgrounds, the courts, tenure of office, explosives. The validity
Of every one of these 100 laws is denied by the Supreme Court
RECESSION. They were dead when they were signed. They had
died on the Governors desk when he was campaigning in the
West. And under the courts decision any person who may
have a substantial interest to do SO can take one of these and
Of many other la WIS into court and have it declared unconstitu-
tional and void.

ST BUYS STOCKINGS
FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-See the nice
row of stockings? Soft, thick, reli-
able cotton hosiery for father, mother,
sister, little brother Bobby and the
baby-and all five pair to be pur-
chased for 80 cents, oh, and sisters
r something more expensive than
cotton--they are silk, for sister works
in a department store, and likes to
put on style. :
Sisters silk stockings. in the pic
ture, are 80 cents, which takes a con-
siderable slice out of the SO cents.
And if you don't believe it, go to
Miss Mary Francis, of the women's
department of the Republican Ma
tional Committee. and ask to see her
family of stockings. She has them
all there on exhibition, having bought
them herself at a downtown store,
incog., so that no one should give
her a discount on account of her be-
ing a Republican out working for the
continuation of the protective tariff.

WILSON DENIES
DIX STATEMENT
Declares He Can't Recall Hav-
ing Commended New York
Governors Administration.

SYRACUSE, n. Y, Oct. 1.-Consid.
cradle interest was aroused among
the delegates to the Democratic State
convention by Governor Dix's state
ment that Governor Wilson had denf-
onstrated his friendliness to him and
his administration in unmistakable
ways through a number of letters
written by the New Jersey executive.
In the light of Governor Wilson's
statement of Monday night, in which
lack of sympathy with the candidacy
of Governor Dix for denomination
stood out strongly, the Democrats of
the State are puzzled to know what
Wilson's real attitude is on the New
York situation, and whether he will
declare himself further as ~favoring or
opposing Dix's denomination.
From Sea Grit today came the word
that when Governor Dix's statement
was shown to Wilson the latter said
he had absolutely no recollection of
having written Governor Dix any
letter in which he expressed opinion
of any kind as to his administration"
William j.. Bryan, in response to a
request from the opponents of Gov
ernor Dix, that he join with them
In trying to prevent the governors
denomination, issued A rather mega
tive statement declaring his opposi-
ton to "boss-ridden' conventions" and
expressing the hope that New York
would soon have a primary law.

WESCOTT
AS AN[[ECT0R
Hudspeth Also Selected in Con-
ference-Kick from Assem-
bly, Candidate.

JERSEY CITY. Oct. John w.
Wescott, of Camden. and Robert s.
Hudspeth, of Hudson, will be the
Democratic electors-at-large. These
selections were agreed upon yesterday
at a conference of members of the
State committee at headquarters in
the Union Trust building. Chairman
G~rosscup and Mr.. Hudspeth, who is
New Jerseys member of the National
COMMITTEES, attended the conference.
Others present were Secretary of
State David Crater, oliver Kelly, of
Middlesex; General Dennis F. Collins,
of Union; Dan Fellows Platt, of Ber-
gen. and Senator George c. Low, of
Ocean.
1t is expected that the selections
made by the few members of the
State committee will be ratified by
the State convention. which convenes
in Trenton tomorrow, and which will
be made up of the Governor, hold
over Senators and Senatorial n AS
sembly candidates.
1T had supposed that the selection
of Presidential electors would be LEFT
to the convention" said n of the
| Hudson Assembly candidates. The
! action of these few members of the
State committee smacks of bossism,
why should they decide who should
be the electors? Are not the members
of the convention capable of perform
ing that duty?
II, for one. do not approve of this
slate-making business. / had been
led to believe that the purpose of the
Geran law was to do away with just
such conferences. I can't see where
this new system of selecting candi-
dates for office, whether they be hon
orary or otherwise. is an improvement
over the old system.

TO either Mr.. Wescott or MI. Huds-

no doubt. But there are thousands

ROOSEVELT TURNS
TOWARD NEW YORK
Foils Attempt to Break Up
Meeting in Knoxville, Tenn.
Hits at Marshall.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Oct. 1.-Colo-
mel Roosevelt is stamping North Car
DINA today, winding up his long
swing through the West and South.
His last speech will be made at
Greensboro tonight, after which he
will leave for New York. The colonel
will give himself a single days rest
at oyster Bay and will then leave for
Washington to testify before the Sen
ate committee Friday.
In this city last night the colonel
was put on his mettle when a corterie
of Wilsonites tried to interrupt him
while he spoke before an audience Oh
1900 in the auditorium. So adroitly
did the Bull Moose candidate turn the
interruption into a demonstration for
himself that the crowd applauded
wildly and it was plain sailing for the
speaker during the rest of his ad-
dress.
During the day the former Presi-
dent delivered several slaps at Govs
ernor Wilson through his running
mate, Governor Marshall. Wilson.
the colonel said, should take no credit
for running on the same ticket as
Marshall, whom he styled a creature
of the ''Taggart machine in Indiana.
The colonel also hit Governor Hooper,
of this State, who, a Republican, has
declined to commit himself to n
presidential candidate. What he
wants, the colonel said, is to be elect
ed governor, and it's all the same to
him how the fight for the presidency
turns out.

THE PHENOMENON OF SOCIALISM.

N New York ten thousand Socialists paid admission fee to
es n Socialist massmeeting in Madison Square Garden and
g thousands were unable to enter. In Philadelphia twelve
Socialists likewise paid an entrance fee at a mass
-eting. New York and Philadelphia are great centres of
and ten or twenty thousand men do not make
lch OF a figure But obviously they represent other thou
DIS not present at the meetings. 1t is enough to say that
iaist gatherings of this magnitude were never known be-
- in this COUNTRY and moreover, the sentiment that ami
Hed these two meetings was as remarkable as the number of
Xtcipants. That Socialism has had an immense stimulus in
= last four years was evident in the elections in 1910. The
will be more in evidence next month.

TAFT TELLS WHAT
A REPUBLICAN, IS
Must Support State and Ma
tionaI Ticket-Jersey Man
at Beverly.

BEVERLY, Mass. Oct. This is
President Taft's definition of a Re-
publican as given to the Beverly Re-
publican Club last night:
'Is a man going to support the ma
tional ticket and Is he going to sup
port the State ticket? II he is he is
a Republican, and il he is not he is
not a Republican"
This came during an impromptu
speech heard by 800 Republicans, in
which the President paid his respects
to the Progressive party.
"Such a policy may cost us some
votes" continued the President, but
in the not distant future these
gentlemen who have deserted us In
the hope of enjoying office on one
hand or a millennium on the other will
find themselves without office, mil
lenium or party. They will feel a bit
lonely, and then when they come back
to the Republican party, as they will
come back, let them come back as
Republicans, but show repentance"
Several cheering reports reached the
President yesterday. A letter from
Missouri, typical of many others that
have been received from the same
source, assured the President that the
tide in that State is in his favor. p.
j. F1annery, international president
of the Brotherhood of Railroad
Freight Handlers, called on the Presi-
dent during the day and assured him
that organized labor's attitude toward
him is friendly. Other callers during
the day were j. r. Babcock, secretary
of the Chamber of Commerce, Dallas.
Tex; Captain NJ. ID. Townsend. of
Ohio; William Burgess, Of Trenton.
and j. Ernest King, one of the editors

ton of a county Progressive ticket at

Since the primaries these regulars

that the leaders of the Progressive
movement were averse to.any county
ticket up to Saturday night. 1t was

supposed, and the tide has changed.
The Democrats are jubilant over
