TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 2, 1918

THERE will be more or less-more than
less, possibly-of every utterance that
will be made by former Governor Stokes
In connection with his candidacy for a
second nomination. The words that are
attracting attention just now are those
which show he is in favor, this being a
young mans campaign, and that the
old men should step aside. There is
nothing new in this suggestion. 1t has
long been contended that young men
should be brought to the 'front.' Those
who are disposed to criticise Mr. Stokes
want to make it appear that he is going
to rely entirely on the young man, but
that is probably as far from the truth as
the opponents of Governor Stokes can
make it. The idea in all probability is
that by the old men, he refers to those
who have been bosses and who have
made states without consulting those
who do the voting. Those are the fellows
who will be expected to keep more quiet
than heretofore. John Kean, and such
men as he, will do more good to the party
by keeping out of the contest than they
will by being extremely active. This is
q peoples campaign and while Governor
Stokes wants the vote of every good
citizen, young and old, he does not want
his nomination to be the result of the
old time machine methods.

Something mighty queer about a
Teller that was here last week." re-
lated the landlord of the Turgidtown
tavern. He never kicked about his
room, eat with apparent relish what
was set before him, didn't try to fiirt
with the mattresses, and when l ask
ed him If he was looking for land or
seeking health or canvassing for some
thing he politely replied that he
wasn't. He went to bed and got up
at reasonable hours, walked sedately
about town, bought 10-cent cigars as
If he was used to EN-, answered ciyilly
the remarks Of practically every prom
inent citizen in town about the wealth
er. He stayed three days, and then
paid his bill without grumbling, babe
me a courteous good-by and went
away with as little futter as he had
come. And on account of the consist
ent manner in which he minded his
own business and let other peoples
affairs alone there has been a good
deal Of speculation about him ever
since, the consensus of opinion being
that he was either a famous detec-
tive, some kind of slick swindler or
a crazy man. Kansas City Star

FEMALE suffragettes of New Jersey are
up in arms over slip up to get,
in proper time, action on the amend
ment that is intended to give them the
right of suffrage. An oversight, it is
claimed by those who had the matter in
hand, prevented the legal publication re-
quired to get the matter before the
people. The women, however, scout the
Oversight" idea, and declare the omis-
sion was intentional with the purpose of
defeating the passage of the amendments.
There were all sorts of attempts to put the
blame on someone but thus far no one
has been able to discover the guilty or
neglectful person. The law which re-
quires publication of the proposed amend
ment says it must be published for
three months previous to the election of
members of the legislature. This, of
course, puts the publication out of the
question at this time, but Governor
Fielder has rushed to the rescue and has
ordered the advertisement to begin at
once. But the Attorney General declares
that the words three months" mean
three calendar months, and it will plain
ly be seen that such cannot be given by
November A.. But Fielder is evidently
going to take chance at it and see if he
cannot do something that will at least
help him in his campaign, even though
it may cost the state thousands of dol
lars without getting proper returns. The
women are mad all through, and the old
adage Hell knows no fury like woman
sc0rned, J" is likely to be verified in this
instance. The Suffrage Amendment
was in the shape of Senate Concurrent
Resolution; that is to say, it originated
in the Senate. Being passed by the
house in which it originated, it went to
the House of Assembly, where it also
passed, and was then returned to the
Senate by the Clerk of the House, with
a message announcing that it had been
concurred in. Had it been a bill it
would thereupon have been signed by
the Secretary of the Senate and trans
mitted through the Committee on Pass
ed Bills to the Governor for Executive
action. But a Concurrent Resolution
requires no executive action. In this
case, after being returned to the Senate
and taken in charge by the Secretary of
that body, it should have been certified
by him as having originated in that
house and should have been filed by him
in the office of the Secretary of State,
whose duty it would be to attend to the
proper advertising as required by the
Constitution. That officer says the reso-
tuition never reached him. Why such
action was not taken with the Women's
Suffrage Amendment, as appears from
the Secretary of States statement, re-
mains to be explained.

duct Better Babies Contest, for
which $500 in cash prizes will be
awarded This contest will be directly
In charge of DR.. James Mcguire and

ans Companion, which has a standing
offer of 5000 in prize money to all
state fairs that will conduct contest
In the interest of better, healthier and
stronger babies The babies that are
entered In the contest are put through
a physical and mental test, for which
there is a regular point scoring table

over the country.
Considerable interest has already
been aroused in the Trenton Fairs
Better Babies Contest, and it is expect
ed that several hundred babies will be
entered
The competition will be divided into
three classes: The rural districts,
which includes the small towns under
1000 population and the open country;
the towns of from 1000 to 5000 and
the cities of over 5000.

Another strong feature of the Better
Babies Contest will be the instruction
to mothers. There will be a building
erected especially for the contest. in
which there will be exhibited charts
showing the development of babies
where there is acknowledgment and
overdevelopment- The mothers will
be given free instruction as to the
developing of the perfect baby, and

ing of any introduced at the Trenton
Fair
