of the State, as it had been during
the first half Of the century. The
plantation was still the unit to a
considerable extent in 1860. and
had not entirely disappeared a
such even in 1870. The high av-
erage size OF farms at those three
censuses is largely accounted for
by the fact that each plantation
was reported as one farm. During

WILSON BOOM IN :
HUDSON DRAGGING
Friends of Berth=holders Are
Only Ones Active for
Governor.

JERSEY. CITY. March 11.-Friends
of Governor Wilson are becoming
alarmed at the lack of interest dis
played by the Democrats of Hudson
County in his candidacy for the NOM
ination for President. The managers
of the Wilson boom are running it
along without regard to what the
party leaders or organization may
think of it. They seem to be afraid to
take the organization into their con-
fidence lest they will be overshadowed
in the movement.
Blunders are being made daily by
the local Wilson managers and the
4 7yement in the interest of the Gov
er~lor has not made much Roadway.
Only those whose friends hold State
jobs or who are working for soft berths
for themselves are taking any interest
in the Governors Presidential aspira-
lions. On the other hand, many of
the best known Democrats in the coun-
ty are known to be opposed to the Gov
errors candidacy and when the time
comes they will make their opposi-
ton felt.

A VALID WILL OF
REV. FATHER M'MANUS.

A valid will executed by Rev. James
McManus, late rector of the Church
of the Sacred Heart, has been found
and has stopped the court action taken
under the assumption that he died
intestate. The will disppses of an es-
ate of about $4,000. the residue going
to his four cousins, Mrs. Sarah Furlong,
Mrs. Margaret Kane and Mrs. Martin
Corbett, of Paterson, and John Grady,
of this city.
The specific requests are as follows:
st. Joseph's Hospital, Paterson; st.
Joseph's Orphanage, Paterson; st.
Mary's Orphanage and the Home OF
the Divine Patronage, Ridgewood, $500
each; Mrs. Margaret Meehan, former
housekeeper to Father McManus, $500,
and her daughter, 5000. The sum OF
$500 Is left to pay debts and funeral
expenses and a similar sum is set
aside for masses.

At this hearing the railroads will

The lines of the Congressional dis
tricts as proposed by the Republican
leaders have appeared in The Star, but
lines are not satisfactory to the
Republicans of the Fourth district, now
composed of Mercer, Somerset and
Hunterdon counties. 1t has been pro-

Republicans of the Fourth feel thai

tory to a district hat was close in 1910

Ing it and are up in arms. Senator
Leavitt, of Mercer, says he will not
stand for that plan and as the sRepub-
licans need the vote of every Senator
to carry the measure through, it Is evil
dent that something must be done. The
Democrats are preparing to put up a
brisk fight on the redistricting bill as
outlined, which they characterize as a
gerrymander, and it is morally
certain that the Governor will veto 1t.
1t will then be necessary for the Leg
islature to pass 1t over his veto. The
Republicans expect that the bill will

promising appointments in the next

III large amount of important work
yet to be disposed of justifies the belief
that adjournment cannot be effected in
less than three weeks. 1t is probable
that the Fitzherbert case will be fought
all over again when a motion to expel
the Morris Senator will be offered by
the Republican majority in the Upper
House. The resolution. it is certain,
will fail on a straight party division.
1t requires two-thirds. or four
teen votes, to expel a member. The
debate may consume a day. If the Re-
publicans should hen press a motion
to suspend Mr.. Fitzherbert it will be
just as vigorously fought, but they are
numerically strong enough to carry this
plan. But it seems that more time
will be taken up. Senator Fitzherbert
had another conference with his
sci, former Senator w. D. Edwards,
yesterday, after which he said he was
more than ever confirmed in his de-
cision not to resign.
Suffragette Field Day Tuesday.
On Tuesday morning the women suf-
fragists of New Jersey will descend

before the judiciary committees of the
two houses. A resolution is pending
providing for an amendment to the Con-
stitution that will give women the
right to vote. The resolution will have
to be approved by two successive Leg
islatures and then ratified at a special
election before it can become part of
the fundamental law. The suffragists
will reach Trenton on a special train
that will carry delegations from Hud-
son, Essex. Bergen, Union and other
North Jersey counties and be reinforced
on their arrival by a delegation from
South Jersey. 1t is their plan to march
from the Pennsylvania station to the
capital, a distance of a mile or 80.
Among those who are down for
speeches in behalf of the franchise for
women are Mrs. Henry Willard, of New
York, who has made a lively campaign
for the last twelve months IN the En-
pire State; Mrs. Clara Ladley, of Ar
lington, the president of the New Jer-
sey Society for Equal Franchise; Mrs.
Florence Howe Hall, of Plainfleld,
who is a granddaughter of Julia Ward
Howe; former Prosecutor George T.
Vickers, of Hudson County, whose wife
is a woman suffrage leader; Linton
Sattherwaite, of Trenton, and Mrs.
Charlotte P. Gilman, who is also a lead
er in the 'votes for women fight In
New York.
1t will be Trenton's first experience
with an invasion of woman suffragists.
1t Is said that women opponents of the
franchise for women will be present to
present the opposite side of the Ease to
the lawmakers. The resolution appears
to have a good chance of being
adopted in the House and it may also
get through the Senate.
