Mr. Castro called attention to the

was in thorough sympathy with the
principle of the amendment, but If
the mover would refer to the plank

with him that there was no need of

Mr.. Aylett replied that the proposed

Big CROPS And POLITICS
Good business prospects are seen in the latest
letter from Henry Clewsr& Co, from which the
following extract is taken:

extract Is taken
At last the United States appears about ready to
take its share of the worlds CONNIE rcia activity.
One great offset to political disturbances is the dn
usually bountifuT harvest now practically assured.
This is the best diversion from politics that could
have happened. In all parts of the country mer-
chants are preparing for active business this aut
umn. Factories already filled with orders TO
supply anticipated demands The steel industry
shows greater activity than ever, and is running
close to full capacity at good prices with big vol
ume of orders still in sight The demand comes
chiefly from railroads and building enterprises.
Railroads are sure to be heavy buyers for long
period ahead. simply to satisfy imperative demands
for better equipment and better facilities at terminal
points This condition also will compel the railroads
to make large additional capital applications during
the next few months How they will succeed, con-
sidering the high rates which new capital now de-
mands, remains to be SEEN
The reports of big crops and their increased
money values are already familiar Conditions in
quence are ripening for period of active
business in the United States. There is no reason,
except politics. why 1913 should not prove record
breaking year. -. ~, 4->

IN April 3, 1910, while crossing the
tracks of the Lehigh Valley Rail-
road at Hillsborough crossing, but

of the position held by her husband

But when the railroad company
made an appeal the Supreme Court
Of New Jersey decided that the
amount was excessive, because JUS

ground that Justice Vail in his charge

BULL MOOSE TO
ATTACK WILSON
Borden D. Whiting, After An
nouncing Plans, Proceeds
to Boost Candidate.

In order to refute the %suppositicn
that speakers of the Bull Moose party
had been instructed by tae State
committee not to attack Governor
Wilson, Borden d. Whiting, National
committeeman, at a meeting last
night in the Progressive headquar-
tiers, in East Orange, took occasion to
state that the speakers will attack
Wilson. He then proceeded to do 50
himself. He claimed him to be the
most artful political dodger ever met
in a campaign. as2ss1a ,pgs
MIR Whiting stated that the cam
paign would be conducted along
proper lines, but that Governor Will
son will receive as many blows as
President Tart Will and thers VIII
be no batting of candidates. Mr..
Whiting tool occasion to state that
the governor took a strange stand
on the child labor law, the trust
problem and social service plank Of

aances up gracefully and i~ishtfully to
a problem aud then values away
frem 1t.
It was regarding the Pierce railroad
bill, vetoed by the governor, maj Mr..
Whiting took occasion to particularly
criticise Mr., Wilson's course. In
Elizabeth before election he said the
had been pinned down to a
positive statement and that he there
declared that not 81 of the cost of the
removal of grade crossings should go
on the public. but hat the railroads
should bear the entire cost.
But the bill was vetoed after cleo
ton, Mr.. Whiting went on, and the
governor gave two reasons. for his
a~ctions-one, that it was not perfect,
which would have been a good reaso
for his action had he stuck to that,
but he also gave a second reason, hat
no part of the expense had been put
on the people. THAT kind of action
concluded Mr.. Whitings"can be desig-
mated by a shorter and uglier word"
The Rev. Charles Stelze. an Assem-
bly, candidate, and George II. Rustin
also gave talks, Mr.. Stelze praising
the platform of Colonel Roosevelt in
glowing terms and Mr.. Austin criti-
cized Governor Wilson's stand on the
tariff and declared he showed himself
an old-line free-trader.

"for Mr.. Froggatt before making ut

he would find that of thirty-eight
