Special 20 the EVENING NEWS
Trenton, April 9.-The signing OF
the Economy and Efficiency by Gov
ernor Fielder and their final pas
sage by the New Jersey legislature
in the face of a powerful lobby and
following two years of failure dur
ing Democratic control, has directed
the attention of political observers
more strongly than ever to Colonel
Walter e. Edge, personal sponsor of
these bills. who is rounding out his
sixth year of service in the state
Legislature, and this year president
of the senate.
VIII Edge be the next governor
Or the next United States senator :?
These are questions frequently asked
and heard discussed throughout the
states just now. Senator Edge him
SELF is not answering them, even
though the election of 1915, less
than two years distant, must decide
both. If he has any ambitions In
these directions, the public does not
know of them for a fact and the fu-
ture must decide.
Astute political observers of the
state see La Edge first-class timber
ioT citntT 6OheThOT VI UEiitu states
senator, but the United States sena-
torship seems to claim more eonsid-
Grafton just now. Edge Is young
not yet rty-two-energetic, re-
sourcefuL and every inch a business
man-and 1t is conceded that In this
day of direct election OF United States
senators the public is giving more
consideration to the record of a can
didate in private and public business
than was given by legislatures under
the old system. Legislatures regard
politics and personnel; the public
will regard business ability and busi-
ness accomplishment.
AS far as business test goes there
are several candidates for the United
States senatorship from New Jersey
who will pass it, all having more or
less claim to public support; but
there is an obvious conviction among
many that the candidates who will
receive the greatest measure of sup
port from a public which has tired
of all extremes in government and
longs for common-sense principles, Is
the candidate who conforms best to
the political evolution of the past
three or four years.
