Press Comments.

The State Board OF Commerce and
Navigation rejected all bids for the con-
tract for building the Bay Head-Manas-
guam River canal for the reason-given
that all of the bidders wanted more
money than the $4,000 that was appro-
priated by the Legislature.
Much better reasons would be that the
board cannot possibly get hold OF the
money without the consent of the State
Comptroller, and that the Governor is
forbidden to sign the contract unless
there is sufficient money available to
finish the job.
An investigation has already made it
plain that three times the sum appro-
priated would not suffice, consequently
there is nothing to be done but let the
money revert to the state treasury. under
the provisions of the appropriation law.

To-Day the members of the differen,
parties will meet in Trenton and con
slider probable platform planks. One
paper says: From this viewpoint i,
looks as though both parties are going to
have fight on their hands if they wish
to keep q local option plank out of the
platform on which the candidate will
rum" Taking the returns of primary
day as an indication this statement is
certainly near the truth. The results In
nearly every locality were highly gratifv-
ing to local option advocates. In coun-
ties where the candidates who sought
reelection had voted for the local option
bill that was before the legislature last
winter, there was an effort to defeat
them, but in nearly every case it was
unsuccessful, while in many counties
where the members of the legislature
voted against the measure and sought
70 be returned they were turned down.
In Burlington county a decided local
option sen timent has developed. In
Burlington city three candidates for CITY
council openly announced their inten-
ton of voting against license, and they
received the nomination despite much
opposition. They will be fought at the
polls by the liquor men, but the senti
mem. in favor of their election is strong
today. There is no use trying to wipe
the fact out Local option is gaining
ground. This is not personal opinion
but one that is voiced throughout the
land.

SEVERAL changes took place Tuesday
and among them was the revolt in Hud-
non county which relegated Governor
Fielderto the rear and put Otto Wittpenn
ID as leader Of the Democrats in this
state. The Wittpenn men nominated
eleven of their twelve assembly candi-
dates and two Of the three freebooter
candidates. The anti-Wittpenn combin-
alton, headed by the Governor, included
state, county and city machines. Field
81 was on hand at his own polling place,
trying to save his face, but it was no go,
the other side wiped him from the po-
Itical map. The result was smashing
blow to the Fielder administration, in
that not only Fielder wanes as political
star, and goes out of the race for the
Democratic nomination for United
States Senator, but the Gubernatorial
aspirations of State Comptroller Ed
wards also 60 under cloud. Wittpenn
Is at the head Of the machine, and out
side Of the President, is the greatest
power in state Democratic rankssto-day;
and 1t is doubtful if the President will
be able to check Wittpenn's strides to-
wards supremacy. And in Essex county
James Nugent rolled up another victory
and defeated the Wilson league.

The Rcttino of Pea2hes.

There is much trouble from Brown rot of peaches this season, and 1t is possible by prompt action to save a part of this damage by spraying the crop with self-boiled lime sulphur or with sulphur paste. The self-boiled lime sulphur is perfectly safe if made strictly according to the directions given in Bulletin IA of the Arkansas Experiment Station. If cooked too long it may injure the foliage of the tree and thereby endanger the crop. The sulphur paste can be bought in this state under the name of atomic sulphur. There is an agency at Rog.
