Public Right I'm the Ocean
Beaches

From the Newark Star:
A judicial decision soon to be handed
down In q suit in the New York courts
has an interest for New Jersey. 1t re-
iates to encroachments on the ocean
beaches. At Coney Island the beach
is INSTRUCTED by twenty jetties from
two to eight feet high, with no provi-
/ sion for the public to pass, and many
buildings, palings, barbed-wire fences
and hedges have been erected by per.
mission OF local officials. The New
York courts In decisions in the past
have declared the right of the people
to the ocean beaches to be inalienable,
that 1.-THE title which the state holds
and the power of disposition is an in
cident and part of its sovereignty that
cannot be surrendered, alienated or
delegated, except for some public pur-
pose or some reasonable use which can
fairly be said to be for the public bene-
it." The United States Supreme
! Court has decided that the State can
not abdicate it's trust over property in
which the whole people are interested
and this includes riparian land owned
by the State. 1t has been said by dis
tinguished lawyers In New Jersey and
among them former Justice VanSyckel,
that most of the riparian grants in New
Jersey are worthless In law, the State
having M right to ALLEVIATE this proper
ty. This opinion Is Of particular in
terest in relation to the ocean beaches
which are privately appropriated and
commercialized.

FIELDER COVERS OVER 400
NILES IN HIS BUSY DAY
Travelled From Warren County
TO Cape Mayhem 20 Jersey
Civ

In continuance of his campaign
through the State in search of the
Gubernatorial nomination, Governor
James F. Fielder on Friday, Septem-
Der 18th, established what is probably
a record in the annals Of New Jersey
political campaigning Of travelling over
four hundred miles In one day in order
to reach the voters. This was made
necessary to cover the length and
breadth of Cape May County, the
Governor making the trip from Phil
lipsburg, where he wound up his Warren
county tour the previous day, via Phil
adelphia to Cape May, returning late
last night from Ocean City to Jersey
City. The exact mileage covered was
40. Needless to say, the Governor
was q very tired man when he reached
his home last night, the Cape May tour
coming as it did, towards the end of a
strenuous week.
Yesterdays tout could not have been
arranged so that the Governor could
return to Jersey City last night with
out the special train which had been SO
generously placed at his disposal
through the efforts Of the Cape May
committee. After Governor Fielder
had completed the IS mile trip from
Phillipsburg to Philadelphia, he found
the Especial" awaiting his arrival at
Camden and the 70 miles to Cape May
were traversed in exceptionally quick
time. By automobile, the Governor
met the voters of Rio Grande, Cape
May Court House, Goshen, Dennis,
Woodbine, Sea Isle City AMI Ocean
City, making speeches at each stop.
AS there are probably only slightly
over 400 Democratic votes cast at the
Cape May primaries, 1t might be said
that the Governor travelled a mile for
each vote.
On reaching Philadelphia, the Gov
ernor and Laurent J.Tonnele, secretary
of his campaign committee, were met
by Senator Wheaton, by whom the
tour was arranged; F. M. Falck, super
intendent of the Atlantic City railroad;
Evans g. Slaughter, general manager
Of the Wildwood railroad; Prosecutor
Matthew jefferson and Tax Commits.
sioner Oliver I. Blackwell. At Cape
May the party was joined by Judge
Eldredge, Sheriff Melvin, former
Sheriff Hendee, who is chairman Of
the County committee, and many
other prominent Democrats.
At Woodbine, a large crowd turned
out to meet the Governor, who review
ed the local company of Boy Scouts

Elections for Two Governors

New Jersey and Massachusetts are
the only States that will elect governors
this year, and il New Jersey cannot be
kept in line for the Democratic party
by the powerful influence the admins
tration is making to retain 1t in the
Democratic column, the effect will be
disastrous for the party, and inspiring
to the Republicans from Maine to Cali-
fornia, y said r. P. Risley, of Trenton,
to a Washington Post reporter, at the
Continental hotel. 1.-THE contest in
New Jersey, In the light of the political
situation in the country, therefore has
been raised to the plane of a national
campaign.
1.-THE Republican party in the presi-
dents own State is very much on the
job, even If the party at large seems
to be somewhat discouraged. New
Jersey Republicans are confident that
the approaching election for governor
will bring the State back to the Repub-
lican column. The encouragement
they find in the situation lies in the
fact that former Governor Edward G.
Stokes probably Will receive the nomi-
nation at next Tuesdays primaries.
He is conceded to be the strongest can
didate the party could nominate, and
his nomination will make serious in
roads upon the Progressive vote. AS a
progressive Republican, Gov. Stokes
was long the earnest supporter of Col.
Roosevelt, but his loyalty to the Re-
publican cause vas never questioned.
"Much of the Progressive vote that
was attracted to Roosevelt last year,
when Stokes was not a candidate for
any office, will go to Stokes this year.
Colby and Osborne are waging a bitter
contest for the bull MODS nomination
and the anteprimary breech that is
thus being made is certain to ALLEVIATE
a large percentage of the erstwhile
Progressive vote. Added to this is the
lack of enthusiasm that attends a ma
tional campaign, and the absence OF
Col. Roosevelt as a factor. Their most
enthusiastic supporters do not hope for
enough votes to give them a look-in.
This Is particularly true, because the
Republicans, instead of turning a deal
ear to the demands Of the Progressives
have manifested an earnest desire to
win back the alienated vote by
reasonable and intelligent compromise,
This fight in New Jersey is not a selfish
fight.
"Gov. Stokes consented to enter the
gubernatorial race at great personal
sacrifice, and the people of New Jersey,
with him to lead, have the satisfaction
of knowing that the Republican party
Us making good its promise to redeem
itself. If Gov. Stokes succeedsi in win.
ing back the State for his party, he
will have opened the way for a Repub'
HicaR victory at next years. eongressl
ional elections, and for q complete
victory in the next Presidential CAM
paign."
