THERE is trouble among the 'Jim-
mics. Accidental Governor Jimmy"
Fielder, who is also the hand-picked
personally selected Democratic candi-
date for Governor, last week issued a
manifest reading James Smith, for
mer United States Senator, and James
r. Nugent, member of the State Demo-
cratic committee from Essex county, out
OF the Democratic party. The accidental
Governor had been away since the pri-
mary election. Upon his return, finding
that Essex county had given majority
for Hon. Frank Katzenbach, his oppon-
ent at the primary, began to look about
for some one to blame. Remembering
that former Governor Wilson repudiated
Messrs. Smith and Nugent. who
managed and financed his nomination
and election as chief executive of this
state, Fielder, who seems lacking in
originality, tried to initiate. The imita-
ton, however, went too far, because, be-
sides roasting Messrs. Smith and Nugent.
there was yelled slap at the Democratic
voters who had the courage to cast their
ballots for Mr.. Katzenbach. Fielder's
nomination was accomplished in some
what mysterious manner as was evil
denced by many candidates for Govern
ment positions-such as postmaster
who few months ago were shouting for
Katzenbach, in the last week or two of
the primary campaign switched to
Fielder. His recent outbreak has not
pleased those voters who refused to be
coaxed or cajoled to vote for him but
insisted upon casting their ballots for
Katzenbach. Many of these men will
rebuke candidate Fielder on election day
by voting for Edward c. Stokes for
Governor.

The man who becomes governor of New
Jersey for the next three years will have
heavy burden of plain hard work. for
which he viii receive very little popular
acclaim This is not time for spectacu-
lar performances, and very few general
laws are needed, but there Is a demand In
every section for better state control
There Is not an institution in the state
which does not require reform. and in
some cases conditions are absolutely scan
dalous. A governor who gives himself to
this task will make enemies, and he will
receive very little applause for the work
u mainly detail, which the public rarely
appreciates. But he Will be doing his
greatest duty.-Newark Sunday Call.
Some Of the reasons why former
Governor Edward C. Stokes did not
seek denomination for governor are
clearly set forth in the foregoing edi-
torial of the Newark Sunday Call Mr..
Stokes has been governor of New Jer
sey and is well acquainted with the
trials. the exactions and the difficult
ties of the position. And it may be
said. with due respect to his predeces.
sors ana successors in the executive
chair. that no governor. either before
or since, has given as much time to
the duties Of the Office as did Cover
nor Stokes. He was at his desk in
the statehouse every morning at Q
o'clock, and often midnight found him
still there. The states affairs were
not neglected while they were commit
ted to his charge.
1t speaks well for Mr.. Stokes public
spirit that he is willing. at much per.
sonal sacrifice. again to take up the
arduous tasks of the gOvernorship.
More than year ago he set himself
to the work of rehabilitating the Re
publican party. of eradicating its weak
nesses, revivifying and rejuvenating
Its leadership and restoring it TO its
original position of power and useful
ness in the state. AS this work pro.
ceeded 1t soon became evident that its
immediate success depended upon Mr..
Stokes himself and that the situation
demanded that he again become the
party's standard bearer That this
was the case was made more than
plain by the almost unanimous vote
cast for the former governor in the re-
cent primaries.
There is. no doubt, much merit in the
Sunday Calls statement that the state
institutions require reform. These in
situations are under the general SUPER
vision of the governor and have been
sadly neglected In the last three years
Political ambition and not service TO
the state has been uppermost in the
minds of the Democrats In the execu-
tive office. And when it is borne in
mind that the state departments and
institutions cost New Jersey 100000
600 or S12.000000 year for their sup
port there is good reason why the tax
payers should insist upon having a
governor in Trenton who will not only
attend to his duties. but whose knowl-
edge of the states business is so thor
ough that the business will be attend
ed to intelligently and economically.
1t is generally conceded by men of all
shades of political opinion that there
is no one in the state so well fitted TO
put the states affairs back on bust
ness basis as Former Governor Stokes.
the Republican candidate for governor.

The Pioneer will support the candi-

lieves that in November former Gov
ernor Stokes will be elected and in
January win be inaugurated as the
chief executive of New Jersey.
Edward c. Stokes. in our opinion, is

New Jersey to be governor. There is

acquainted with New Jersey and its

In his Monday letter to the Philadel-
phia Record, Charles r. Bacon says that
while the situation would seem to war
rant the claim that the Democrats might
have shade the best of the chances
there is no denying that the Republicans
have the initial advantage. He says
there will be life enough in the combat
to please the oldest political fan. the adj
ministration at Washington having
much at stake, and will see to it that all
possible aid from that source is forth
coming. Indeed" says the letter
writer, sit has been intimated that the
for Governor Fielders re-
of the mith-Nugent
crowd had its origin at Washington -
There seems to be a difference between
Bacon and Tumulty on this point. Mr.
Bacon further asserts there is no reason
to suppose that Fielder lacks backbone
Events that affected this county last
winter show that Fielder not only lacks
backbone but that he was easily led by
the nose by two peanut politicians.

IN AN interview printed in the Allan
tic City Press the chairman of the State
Democratic Committee, speaking on the
accusations that Hon. James r. Nugent
is working for former Governor Stokes,
is reported to have said to have said to
James +. Fielder: "When he told me
this after giving out his statement i re-
Piled Governor, you are lawyer If
you have the evidence give it to the
people. The people are the judges in
these matters, and they are entitled to
the evidence l do not know whether
he has the evidence but | certainly gave
him the argument which appeals to a
lawyer. If Nugent is for Stokes, then Gov
ernor Fielder should give the evidence.

CHAIRMAN GRosscUP, of the State
Democratic committee, has named a
finance committee composed of Gen.
Dennis F. Collins, Sheriff Joseph E.
Nowrey, former Senator George f. Mar
tens and Jacob Shurtz. This is undoubt-
|edly committee fully qualified for
the position. General Collins is brewer
hence has had considerable experience
in opening and tapping barrels. Sheriff
Nowrey has been running for Office for
nearly score of years, with varying
success, and certainly knows where to
collect funds and how to use them to
advantage. Former Senator Martens, if
certain testimony taken before a Senate
committee, can be believed, knows much
about money and pawnbrokers. Then
there remains Mr. Shurtz, who is COM
paratively an unknown in this sec
ton. Perhaps he is the "angel" Of the
committee.

Former and next Governor Stokes
took the advanced stand at the mem
orable dollar dinner In this city sew
eral months ago that representation in
the next national convention should
be based on the party vote and not on
arbitrary geographical divisions. 1t

that has been in operation almost since
the beginning of the republic. a cour
age possessed by few of the so called
Progressives. although the credit for

party that it was not advisable or desir-
able to have Grosscup retained as chair
man of the state executive committee.
Dispatches from Washington say that
the President did not have any hand in
this affair, and the request that Gross
cup be turned down and that Congress-
man Kinkead be his successor undoubt-
edly originated in the brain of Jim, :"
and 1t is on par with some other things
he has done and with what he is likely
to do before the campaign closes. But
he overreached himself on the plan to
GUST Grosscup, for when the time came
to elect chairman Mr.. Nugent threw
all his influence toward Grosscup and
Flelder's announced favorite received
but three votes. Then the story appeared
that Kinkead, smarting under the defeat
and the ill-timed letter of Fielder, hast
ened to Washington, and the report
spread abroad that kinkead was to man
age Fielder's campaign. Again the lat
ter showed his lack of judgment by
letting IL De publicly known that Kin
kead was not in the running in any way
that Grosscup was to be the whole show
Former Governor Stokes, on the Trenton
Fair grounds, expressed himself as Opt
mistic over the result of the election
next month, but he remarked that h
was not throwing any votes away
Fielder, however, seems to have votes t,
spare. He has evidently overlooked tn
fact that former Senator Smith ha
many friends in New Jersey and that il
the contest for United States Senator b
polled over 10000 votes, and he refers il
contemptuous manner to the fact tina
Essex county gave his opponent, MI
katzenbach, majority, but in tina
very reference he pays tribute to tn
strength Of the men whose aid he no,
spurns. His judgment in the past weel
is but continuation of some of hi
acts while in the Gubernatorial chair.

WHETHER ashamed or afraid is not
certain but it is sure that Joseph Tumul-
ty,secretary to President Wilson, quickly
rushed into print to declare that he did
not have anything to do with the con-
test over the craftsmanship of the State
Democratic Committee. Mr.. Tumultv is
thus quoted:
THE article in the JERSEY Journal to
the effect that tried to dictate the choice
OF Democratic State Chairman is un-
true, both in its substance and in its in
ferences. 1t is the elimination of a
series OF stories, the purpose of which has
been 10 make 1T appear that from my
post In Washington | was attempting to
control political affairs in New JERSEY,
All OF them were untrue. | have not at
tempted, directly or indirectly, even bv
the slightest suggestion or intimation.
with Governor Fielder or with any one
representing him; nor with any of the
parties or representatives of the parties
TO the controversy over the state chair
manship, to interfere with or influence
the selection of state chairman.
1 welcome this occasion to say, fur
ther, that | have scrupulously adhered
to the policy unsweryingly maintained
by the President, from the hour of his
arrival in Washington, of non-interfer-
ence in New Jersey affairs. The only
deyiations from that policy were in re-
Spouse to specific and urgent requests BY
the leaders of the party in New Jersey. .
That Tumulty said all of the above
few will doubt, but the confidence will
stop right there for there are mot MANY
who can be brought to believe that he
was not in evidence in the matter re-
ferred to. The part of his remarks where
he speaks of the answering policy of
President Wilson not to interfere in New
Jersey affairs is SO rich that one wonders
whether Tumulty is not out of his head
a little bit. There is every reason why
Robinson Crusoe and his man Friday |
should want to shirk all suggestions of |
with recent events in the
Democratic party in this state. There
are two factions that must be placated,
and Jim" Fielder's blunders must be
remedied in some manner

ALL OF sudden and without warn
ing possibly without consultation with
any orfe-Fielder, Democratic candidate
for Governor, read James NJ. Nugent out
OF the party and openly told the people
or the state that the latter's help was
not needed. And the only reason for
this action was that Mr.. Nugent exer-
cised the right given to every man and
enlarged upon by the President of the
United States, the right to vote as he
pleased, and his choice did not happen
TO be sunny Jim 1t would seem as
if there might have been plenty of
reasons for just such action long ago but
Fielder evidently thought he had better
keep quiet during the contest for the
nomination and when he found that
Essex had gone against him it ''riled"
him so that he lost his head. If fear
iessness of speech and action are suffi-
cient grounds on which to kick man
out of party he has served long and
faithfully then Mr.. Nugent was guilty..
But-pardon the mention of the name
here-why not read Senator Fitzherbert
out. There is man who still holds
memberships the state senate, although
shown to have reputation that is any,
thing but creditable. Instead of telling
him to go to the rear the Democratic
candidate for Governor aided in keeping
the man from Morris in his seat and
placed him on good committees. Jim
needed Fitzherbert's support last winter
but despite protests from all sides and
requests that the man from Morris leave
the position which had been given UNI
desirable notoriety, he held on in order
that his party might be at the head in
legislative affairs. 1t would be in perfect
order If Fielder, even at this late date
should read Fitzherbert out of the party.
But he won't. He might if Tom Birch
and Dick Hughes told him to.
