FIRST OFFICER WAS
 DIRIGO WRECK aEkO


 Seattle papers have dubbed Gus. BIumberg. chief officer of the freight steamship Cordovas "thc hero of the Dirigo wreck
 The Dlrigo was being lowed to se' at.le by the Cordcvo 10 be convert ed into an oil burner. The vessels were 5overtaken by 9 terrific gale. on November 16. The Dirigo sprung 8 Ieak and soon became waterlogged. Capt. John Johnson, the master gave the order to lower the small boats. In the meantime the Cordova which had cut the hewser used in towing ahe doomed vessel was standing by. The first two boats launched from Che Dirigo were smashed against the side of the doomed vessel.
 Capt Thomas Moore, of the CordoYa then ordered one of his small boats lowered. Chief officed Blumberg then promptly took command Although it looked almost like certain death Blumborg drove the small bout to the Dirigo and rescued Q number of the crew. BY that lime Captain John son had succeeded in lowering third boat lrom his vessel and 9 few mos ments later he and the remaining members of the crew succeeded =in leaving the ship. Both the small boats had long and dangerous battle with the clements before they gained the lee of the Cordcva. The skill and nerve with which Biumberga handled his boat both iu going to the Dirigo and returning to tho vessel won the piaudits of all on both vessels.

aided the foreign producer at the ex-

REPUBLICANS ADOPT
PARTY PLATFORM
The Following Pledges Conserva.
tive and Calculated to Garry
the Party to Victory

The Republican State Convention
held IN Trenton on Tuesday last, the
29th day of September, according to
law, adopted and respectfully submits
to the voters of the State the follow
ing platform for their consideration:
This convention is mainly composed
of candidates for the Senate and gem
eral assembly and we consider our
platform to be promise to the people
of New Jersey. If the people accept
it by electing US to office, we shall con-
slider it as an offer and acceptance ac-
cording to the law of contracts, which
means a binding obligation upon our
selves to fulfill all of our promises.
We condemn the record of the Dem
ocratic Party in our state because it
has failed to keep its platform con-
tracts with the people. In 1913 out
of twenty-three pledges they fulfilled
six, doubtfully provided for three 9TH
ers, and absolutely failed in fourteen.
In 1914, out of sixteen pledges they
performed three, partially fulfilled
two and utterly failed in eleven. Dur
ing these years the Republican Party
introduced legislation to fulfill all
their pledges but because of democrat
ic majorities were unsuccessful in
having many of them enacted into
laws. We feel that this record en-
titles US to have our offer accepted
New Jersey is in a serious financial
condition. When the Republican Par
| ty took over the management of the
State in 1894 the treasury was empty.
From 1894 to 1910 the various Repub-
lican administrations so conducted the
affairs of the state that they spent
less than their income and on October
31st, 1910, there was a balance in the
state treasury of>ever $2,100,000, with
uncompleted contracts of S500,000
leaving az free balance $1,600,000
Since 1910 the Democratic Party has
been in power in the state and on
October 81, 1913, the state treasury
showed balance of S1,600,000, with
uncompleted contracts of S1,300,000,
leaving free balance of but 100000
In the Democratic platform of 1910
the Republican Party was criticized
because the expenses of the state had
grown from $2,000,000 under the last
democraticslegislature to S5,000,000 in
1910, under sixteen successive Repub
, lican legislatures, an increase of less
than 100000 a year, while the popu-
: lation during that time increased
| from 100000 to 100000.
Since 1910 the Democratic Party
has been in control of the State of
New Jersey and the expenditures of
the state have grown from $5,000,000
to $8,000,000 or about $750,000 a
year,while the population has increas-
ed but 100000 in all that time. In
the year 1913 under Democratic ad-
ministration the state spent 100000
more than its income, while the ap-
preparations exceeded by $457,000 the
amount there was in sight in the
treasury.
The Democratic administration in
national affairs, representing a min
ority of the voters of this country,

uous session and has enacted impor-
