ton for governor.
Senator Colgate is charged with
not having passed "a single bill in
the Senate that is of direct benefit
to the wage-earner of the State this
session, and, furthermore, that we
have every reason to believe that you
do not intend to-"
Mr.. Hilfers declares the wage
earners of the State have at last
received the jolt they so much need
ed to wake them up and he as
sures Senator Colgate that the rep

awake with the aid you have given
us in voting for Senate bill 16S.'

Newark, N. J., April 3, 1915.
"My Dear Senator-On Wednesday,
March 80, 1915, you assisted, by your
vote, in passing the Ramsay State

given to understand that the bill was

Newarkers will catch their first
glimpse of Billy Sunday this after
noon, as the evangelist will arrive
here on the train due at the Market
street depot of the Pennsylvania rail-
road at sos o'clock. Accompanied by
MA" Sunday, the Observation-Disclosures
IS now speeding East from his home
at Winona Lake, Ind, aboard the
Chicago limited.
Mr.. Sunday has run into the snow
storm, which is central over the East,
but this is not expected to dampen MS
ardor, nor that of the throng of people
whj started to gather early this
afternoon to greet him.
Religiously inclined residents of
Newark, especially members of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, are taxi
ing almost as much interest in the
coming revival as though 1t were to
be conducted here instead OF in Pat
erson and hundreds and perhaps
thousands are expected to attend the
tabernacle from this city and the
Oranges.
Rev. George G. vogel, superintend-
ent of the Newark district Metho-
dists, said today that he expected to
ask clergymen in the fifty-nve
conduct special evangelistic services
in their churches during the latter
part of April or early in May, in
conjunction with the Paterson re-
viYal.
"About the third week of Mr.. Sun
DAVIS meeting in Paterson, when he
gets into full swing" said Mr.. Vogel,
II think it would be a good thing
for the Newark churches to hold spe-
cial services. The hearts of the
Newark people are in the revival,
and some Of the clergymen will con-
duct special services whether there
is any concerted effort in this direc-
ton or not
Advance Guard Early.
Shortly after noon today the ad-
vance guard OF Paterson enthusiasts
arrived in the city in order that they
might be the first to greet the evangel-
ist upon his arrival here. They came
bv train and trolley and dined in
Newark. in order that they would
be sure to be here on time.
Later in the afternoon about a
dozen automobiles, containing the
leaders of the campaign in Paterson,
came to this city and reached here
long in advance of the expected ar
rival of the evangelist.
William A. Arnold, brother OF
President George Arnold, of the Pat
erson and North Jersey Evangelistic
Association, is here to accord Mr..
Sunday an official greeting on behalf
of the association. Others here in

NEW GOVERNMENT FOR GREAT BRITAIN
 IS BEING FORMED
Leaders of Political Parties Confer Throughout Day Arranging De- tails-No Statement As to Per
 sonnel of Ministry Made

London, May 20.-t9,2O p. m.)--The national government which will guide the British empire for the duration of the war is in progress of formation. Leaders of the political parties con- ferred throughout the day and are arr ranging details.
 No statement as to the personnel of the new ministry has been made except that Premier Asauith and Foreign Secretary Grey will retain their posts. Thus far all statements as to the allotment of of ficias have been based largely on sur mise. It appears certain, however, that there will be a new civil head of the ad- miralty and war office, respectively. and possibly changes in the professional heads as well, or at any rate readjustment of responsibility.
 Earl Kitchener, secretary for war. it is generally agreed, has too much to do rais- ing armies and seeing after the output of munitions, and some of these duties will be shifted to other shoulders. Chancellor Lloyd-George and Andrew Bonar Law opposition leader are about equally fav- pred for civa head of the war office, and A J. Baifour is nenjioned for a simiIa, position in the admiralty. In the latter case there is some doubt as to whether Mir. Balfour would consent to accept this place.

Montgomery, May 20.-(Special)-All convicts in Alabama who have heretofore been working as personal servants to wardens, guards and employees of the state convict department must be re- turned to their respective prisons at once. according to an executive order issued late this afternoon by Governor Hen derson.
