Especial Trenton Correspondence.)
Trenton.-Governor Fielder's veto
OF the branch bank bill was not receiv-
ed with salvos of Joy by Senators who
had stood for the measure. Senator
Read, therefore, brought the bill up in
the Senate on the question of passing
1t over the veto, but only nine Sena-
ttors voted in favor, while eight voted
to sustain the veto, and the Camden
Senator then had it laid over. There
was a parliamentary scrimmage upon
this question, but it finally prevailed
by vote of Is to 5.
In opposing the veto Senator Reed
said the Governor was more in a posi-
ton OF representing Hudson county
than he people Of the State. Senator
Ackerson, Democrat, Monmouth, spoke
OF his loyalty to the Governor under
all circumstances, but expressed the
belief that the veto was wrong, as the
bill was designed to prevent larger
banks from getting control of the
money market. Senator Hennessy,
the Democratic leader, said he favored
the bill, but believed the Governor
should be sustained, as his sense of
public duty had led him to act as he
did.
When Assemblyman Dayrymple's
bill, providing for the repeal of the
Preferential Primary law, came up in
the Senate, it was batted around the
chamber with no friend to give it sue
cor. No n vote was recorded in it's
favor, while, on the contrary, the ma
iority of the Senators spoke against
it.
The Senate passed Senator Rath-
buns bill providing for small boards
of freeholders in all counties except
those of the first class, Hudson and
Essex. The law is to be adopted in
counties IN the motion of the present
boards OF freeholders or on the pc
tition of 5 per cent. of the voters of
the county.
Another bill passed by the Senate,
which provides for a State mounted
police force, is considered antagonis-
tic to the labor interests. If such a
force is organized, labor men claim
that it would greatly aid manufac-
turers in fighting strikers.
What is known as the Anti-Injunc-
ton bill, SO long fought for by the
labor organizations, was temporarily
defeated in the House, but Assembly
man Quinn, of Middlesex, it's sponsor,
put it in position for reconsideration
and may be able to get the required
majority later. The bill is intended
to prohibit the issuance by the Courts
Of the State of injunctions to restrain
workingmen on strike from interior
ing with others called to take their
places, several such writs having been
issued in recent years by the Court of
Chancery.
Taylor for Appeals Bench.
Among a number of his other ap-
pointments, Governor Fielder also
sent to the Senate the nomination of
Thomas w. Synnott, of Wenonah,
Gloucester county, as a member of the
State Board of Education. He will
succeed DR.. William G. Schauffler, of
Lakewood, president of the board at
the present time.
Mr.. Synnott from the same
town as State Treasurer Edward E.
Grosscup.
One of the surprises in the list of
appointments was that of Frank NJ.
Taylor, of H~ackensack, to be a judge
of the Court of Errors and Appeals.
Mr.. Taylor will succeed John w. b.
CERT of Hohokus.
Hoff Reappointed.
Joseph S. Hoff, of Princeton, was
reappointed by Governor Fielder to
the Civil Service Commission. Mr..
Hof is a Democrat, and his reappoint-
ment maintains the political division
of two Democrats and two Repub-
licans in the Civil Service Commits
sion. Mr. Hoff, at the present time,
Is chairman of the commission.
Mr.. Hoff has been the object of
criticism by the House special COM
mittee which is investigating the Civ
il Service Commission. The Repub-
lican Assemblymen on the special
committee have criticised MI. Hoff for
holding a place on the Civil Service
Commission and at the same TINT be-
ing a member of the State Democratic
Committee and chairman of the Mer-
Ger County Committee. What effect
the reappointment of Mr.. Hoff will
have on the probe OF the commission
is problematical. 1t is likely, how
ever, that the committee will continue
its work without going into further de-
tails as to the position which Mr.. Hoff
holds.
