portant Case in Politics.

The Kansas electoral case, involv-
ing paramount issue between the
Taft and Roosevelt forces in that
state, was assured Thursday of re-
view by the highest court of the
country when Associate Justices Van
Devanter and Pitney, of the United
States supreme court, granted 10
the Taft men a writ OF error 10 the

wrongs complained of were OF kind
for which the courts were not au-
thorized to grant relief
The grant of the writ OF error
means a victory for the TAFT mon,

though the names of the eight can
didates for presidential electors who's
nomination was attacked will remain
on the primary ballot, he explained.
they may be stricken from the No
vember ballot if the supreme court
should sustain the contention OF the
plaintiffs that the nomination was
obtained by fraud.

VOORHEES, CONFIDENT.
Declares Sober Thinkers viii De-
eide Election.


In an interview with a reporter of
the Elizabeth Journal" State Treas
urer Daniel S. Voorhees,, who is a
member of the republican state com
mittee, and one of the big men
among the state party leaders, dis
cussed the political situation and
gave his reasons why he thinks Will
lam Howard Taft will be reelected
president of the United States. Mr.
Voorhees, said there was no doubt in
his mind that the president would
win the election.
He declared that the men behind
the business interests of the country
would save it from democratic presi-
dent and would also rally against
the election of Colonel Roosevelt. Mr..
Voorhees, expressed the opinion that
the country could not afford again to
/ try the experiment of a democratic
administration. with the likelihood of
tariff tinkering that would be men
ace to the American policy OF protec-
ton to labor Continuing, he said -
''The voters of this country will do
lot of sober thinking between now
and election day in November, and
this will prevent any stampede of
the electorate to the radicalism of
Theodore Roosevelt" ("
In the opinion of the state treas
urer the great body of the American
voters will come to take a conserva-
tive view of the political situation be-
fore the campaign is ended. and this
will lead them to cast their ballots
for the reelection of President Taft.
State Treasurer Voorhees, also dis
cussed the county convention held in
his county of Norris last week at his
suggestion for the selection of coun
ty ticket, including candidates for the
assembly
Some of my republican colleagues
opposed the plan,v he said, land |
was accused of bossism and an at
tempt to dictate nominations. The
plan worked splendidly, however, and
the large number of republicans who
gathered were absolutely free to make
their own choice of candidates The
result was that we got much better
ticket than otherwise we would. This
convention idea is a good one for
another reason, and that is that it
helps to keep the party organization
together"

That two of Morristown's greatest
needs, a modern hotel and theatre,
may be filled is a possibility as the
result of oAertures made by Klaw &
Erlanger, the New York theatrical
managers, to the ID. H. McAlpin es-
tate. The theatrical men will lease

favor and the estate is also consider
Ing the erection in connection with
the theatre of modern hotel build
ing. The site, if the scheme cul-
inmates, will be the United States
hotel property and including the lit
tie store now occupied by Fred Zane
boni. But it remains for Morristown
people to convince the McAlpin es-
tate that such a building is needed.
Goodness knows. Morristown needs
theatre and needs a modern hotel
Here's chance and il somebody
will only get busy and start the
sentiment rolling towards the offices
of the McAlpin estate and confirm
the owners of the property of the
desirability of the proposition the
deal may go through. 1t might be
we'll for the business men to circulate
petitions to the estate asking that
the matter be taken up and reciting
the great need. Everybody who lives
in Morristown knows that theatre
is needed here Everybody who
comes in contact with the hundreds
of travelling men who visit the town
and others who have occasion to stop
at the hotels here, know thar a mod

Frank PetrozZo was driving his
auto delivery truck Friday afternoon
when the engine baked at the foot
of Water street hill. After working
over the mechanism for some time
Petrozzo finally got it started again
and almost reached the top of the
hill when the engine again stopped
The brakes failed to hold the machin
and the car backed rapidly down the
hill. Petrozzo lost control of the
steering wheel and the auto ran into
Udall's paint shop. The rear of the
machine was somewhat battered but
the jar started the engine again and
Petrozzo was able to finish his journey
without further mishap
