FIELDER WANTS
TO Be GOVERNOR
And He Says So Somewhat
Frankly.
He WILL NOT RESIGN
Does Not Think He Has to Give Up
His Position to Be
Candidate.

Pitman, N. j., July 9.-Governor
Fielder, in discussing the report that
he intended to resign in order to make
himself eligible for election under the
State Constitution, said that he had
not given the matter any serious con-
slderation whatever, as under the law
he believes that he Is not required to
resign, never having been regularly
elected. Whether he would resign or
not, he said, he has still ample time
to decide. Should he decide to resign
he probably will not do SO until after
the primaries in September, in which
event he would be succeeded by Speak
er Leon R. Taylor, of Monmouth
county, as acting Governor
i am an accidental Governor, said
Mr. Fielder in speaking to the crowds
ON his tour tonight. Nov, I want
the people to elect me to the office
regularly. l have no pledges to make,
but III stand on my record of eight
years in the Legislature. When it was
suggested that as President of the
Senate under our now President Will
son, | might become Governor, | hesi-
tated about taking the office. Since I
have gotten into Office, however, l find
l like it and can sincerely say that
am very desirous of being elected. Ny
present service as Governor is not yet
over and there are still some things
ito be done in that Office, so | find it
agreeable to get out among the people
and to inform myself as to their senti-
ments respecting important issues in
the State that I might better do my
duty as Governor"
Governor Fielder opened his cam
! paign for the Democratic Gubernator-
ial nomination in South Jersey tonight
when he started dash through Glou-
cester county, which he will conclude
tomorrow by visiting score of towns
and rural communities to come in per-
sonal contact with the voters. Cover
nor Fielder found sentiment among
the party leaders favorable to his can
didacy and was warmly greeted by
| hundreds of Democrats last evening
at receptions at Woodbury. and Pit
man, the largest towns in the county.
He also made brief stops at Mantua
and Barnsboro and shook hands with
crowds of voters.
| A committee of the Democratic lead
ers of Gloucester county, headed by

NAY RESIGN
AS GOVERNOR

On account of the constitutional
provision in the State of New Jersey
which makes it impossible for a Gov
ernor to succeed himself, Governor
James F. Fielder, candidate for the
Democratic nomi nation, may resign
as the present Chief Executive of the
Garden State if he receives the nomi-
nation, so that there may be no uues-
ton as to the validity of his election
in the event he is reelected in the fall.
The Governos explained that, in his
judgment, the Constitution means that
a Governor elected by popular vote
cannot be reelected. He expressed
the opinion that the constitutional
provision would not prevent him from
being elected for full term, since he
was chosen by the State Senate to fill
the unexpired term of Woodrow Will
son, upon the election of the then
Governor to the Presidency.
Governor Fielder made this state
ment last night at the Bellevue STRAIT
ford hotel, Philadelphia, were he
stopped en- route to Wildwoof;> n. j.,
where he will be guest at the cele-
bration of Governors Day" today. A
special train will take the Governor
and his party from Camden to Wild
wood, leaving at 8 o'clock. He will
return to Woodbury. tonight and will
participate in a political meeting in
furtherance of his candidacy for the
gubernatorial nomination. Tomorrow
he will tour Gloucester County.

$4,000 FOR
POOR MOTHERS
Board Makes That Appre-
priation.
ALL GUESS WORK.
AT Present Twenty Applications
Have Been Filed With the
County Court.

The Board of Chosen Freeholders
yesterday took up the matter of pro-
viding an appropriation to carry into
effect in Cumberland County the provi-
sions of the Nichols law commonly
known as the Mothers Pension act.
The matter was called to the atten-
tion of Roscoe c.. Ward, the County
Solicitor, who explained the act as
well as it is possible. The act does
not provide any method for the raising
of the money by the Board of Free
holders, and makes no provision for
compelling county to make any such
provision. However, Mr.. Ward stated
that it was undoubtedly proper for the
Board to make such an appropriation
as may be deemed to be necessary TO
carry the provisions of the law into
effect.
The members of the Board discussed
the matter at some length with a view
OF determining just what appropria-
tion should be made. A reading of the
law would indicate that many mothers
will be disappointed upon making ap-
plication for relief. The law, it would
seem, will only provide financial as
sistance to widow with dependent
children who cannot maintain a home
and without aid would become depend
ent upon public charity.
1t was stated that since the 4th of
July there had been made to the Coun-
ty Clerk twenty applications for relief,
and nineteen blanks had been sent out
to the applicants. These blanks must
be filled out, andNa a copy go to the
State Board of Children's Guardians,
the local Overseer of the Poor and
the Court of Common Pleas. 1t is only
upon order of the court that any re-
lief shall be furnished by the county,
and this money will go to the State
Board of Children's Guardians who
will provide relief for the widowed
mother and dependent children.
After full discussion of the entire
matter the Board passed a resolution
appropriating $4,000 for the dependent
widows, and the County Collector was
directed to certify the amount to the
County Board of Taxation that the
amount may be made a part of the
budget of 1918.

Farmers CAR
ON RAILROAD

The Pennsylvania Railroad COM
pany has fitted out an agricultural car
and a dairy exhibit car, to promote
scientific farming methods and eff
cient farm management among the
farmers.
The agricultural car will be NOV
ing college and farming exhibit. The
exhibit contains some $50 perfect sam
pies of vegetables, grains, hay, tobac-
CO, cotton, etc., grown in the terri
tory traversed by the railroad.
Modern dairy methods, buildings
and machinery are shown in the dairy
exhibit car, in charge of the milk
traffic department. The car contains
models of a modern dairy barn, silo
and water tower, together with full
section of COW stable with feed car
and litter carrier.

office, where farmers will have the
privilege of private consultation with
representatives of the company's ag-
ricultural and dairy departments.
The cars will visit the agricultural
region along the Pennsylvania Rail-
road and stimulate an interest in ad-
vanced methods. This plan has been
tried with great success by the pro-
gressive Western railroads.
The agricultural car will go to Erie,
Pa, on its first trip and will be ex-
hibited coincident with the celebration
of Perry's Battle The New Jersey
schedule for the car is being made up
and it will shortly visit South Jersey
