The Penn's Grove record., 1916-04-14

The New Jersey Anti-Saloon League
is beginning the most active campaign
it has yet waged in the interest of a 10
cal option bill. The progress made the
past three years in favor of local option
and the increased vote on the question in
the last Legislature makes it logical that
this will be a crucial year for this ques-
ton. The League organizers are busy
in several counties and the officers say
that before the primaries in September
they will have every county in the State
thoroughly organized. In Trenton they
have started to organize a Local Option
Club in every ward. The local option
forcer will quiz all legislative candidates
and will only support those candidates
who pledge themselves to vote for the To-
cal option bill next year. The bill has
passed the Senate twice and will likely
pass it again next year. This session
it received 10 votes in the House, or 10
less than the required number to pass.
The Penn's Grove record., 1916-04-14

Every Democratic candidate and alter
nate who has filed a petition has express
ed a choice for Woodrow Wilson for
President, and, therefore, New Jersey
will send a solid Wilson delegation to the
convention. The % votes in the conven-
ton at st. Louis from the Presidents
home state, backed by the more than L.
600 Wilson boomers from New Jersey
who will go to the convention city by
special train, will cut a big figure in the
denomination of the President. As was
true four years ago at Baltimore, the
eyes of the whole country will be on the
New Jersey delegates at st. Louis, with
this difference-that at Baltimore con-
vention there was strong opposition to
the nomination of Woodrow Wilson, then
Governor of this state, while at st. Louis
next June, President Wilson will be I'M
opposed, and will likely be nominated on
the frst ballot, if not by reclamation.
