the "Drys' made a special tight.
y y =
The return of State Comptroller Ed
ward l. Edwards from the Panama Pacl-
hc Exposition, and his temperance at
the State House yesterday, started a lot
of gossip as to the probability of his be-
ing a Democratic candidate for the nom
nation for Governor. During his alb
sence, there was a m that as soon
as he returned to New Jersey he would
declare himself. Asked yesterday if he
was ready to announce himself as a
g~ubernatorial candidate, he replied:
Il have a good job as Comptroller n
do not propose to give it up. L am TOO
busy now to think about booming a can
didate."
Does that mean that you will not be
a ca~ndidate?' he was asked.
"Oh, no, / don't say that" was his
reply. Further than this he refused 10
discuss the matter.
Word was brought to the State House
Yesterday that State Senator Austen Col
gate is preparing to enter the race for
Governor, and will e'er long announce
his candidacy. Senator Edge, of Attain
tic, is already in the race, and 1t is ex-
pected that shortly former Senator JOS
eph Frelinghuysen, of Somerset, will de-
clare himself either for United States
Senator or Governor. 1t will be seen
from this that the primary. contest for
the nomination bids fair to be of unpre-
cedented warmth and interest.

This guardianship or sleep by means of dreams is due to the persistent dynamic action of the cen sor. In sleep the censor is exceeding ly active, and it's function is to protect sleep from the mass of repressed emo. tions which threaten to overwhelm the sleeper in the shape of a dream. This is done by means of the dream mecha- nisns. in which the dream thoughts are fused and displayed, thus under going such disguise and symbOization as to be unrecogniZable to the sleeper and consequently not disturbing to him.
