that Judge W escott is in sympathy with
the progressive and constructive poll
cies of the administration at Washington
and that he has the confidence Of Presi-
dent Wilson should be sufficient to en-
title him to the support of all thinking
Democrats.
Il have no doubt that he VA be nom
mated and elected United States Sen
ator."
Discussing this week the direct pri-
mary system, Snte Senator Lewis T..
Stevens, Republican, of Cape May, Sc
verely scored wat he termed the grow
ing practice of county committees en-
dorsiug candidates previous to their
nomination at the primaries. His at
tack was caused by the endorsement by
the Essex County Republican Committee
of former Governor Franklin Murphy
for United States Senator and Senator
Austen Colgate Scr Governor; Of the
Atlantic, Hudson and Morris County
Committee endorsing Senator Edge for
Governor, and of various other commit
tees endorsing certain candidates for the
Legislature and county Offices.
Such endorsement is contrary to the
spirit of the primary election law said
Senator Stevens, and if 1t continues and
the county committees cannot hear the
voice Of the people IN opposition to the
habit, L propose to offer at the next ses-
sion OF the Legislature a bill prohibiting
it."
He pointed out that both Democrats
and Republicans are guilty OF such pre-
primary endorsement and asserted that
1T promotes bossism and should be stop
ped.
Continuing fhe crusade for the eX-
termination of the mosquito, Alfred Gas
kill, Of the State Department of Conser-
walton and DEVELOPMENT. has issued d.
rections how to free communities of the
pests. lie says;
"Fhe only way to keep free from this
nuisance during the remainder of the
summer will be for everyone to keep
rain water receptacles from forming
breeding places. Water Is necessary to
the breeding of the mosquito. and the
only hope to success in controlling the
insects Is to prevent their multiplication
by eliminating all breeding places"
The question has been raised whether
the State Commission to recommend a
home rule law to the next Legislature
should include a local option bill in its
suggestions to the law makers. mas
much as Local option on the liquor ques-
ton Is pure home rule, 1t is claimed by
many that this subjects comes well with
IA the scope Of the inquiry of this com
mission. The members OF the commits
sion say they will look into the matter.
but do not seem to view the matter with
much favor. The members are Leon
Albeit. Jr., of Jersey City, son OF the
late Governor Albeit; Edward f.. Mer-
rey' OF Paterson, and Francis a. Stang
or. OF Brldgeton.
