strated the business capacity for efficient
organization and exhaustive detail which
has been of such value to him in his
public career.
Senator Edge always has found time
to interest himself in the local affairs Of
his home city. He is President of the
Boy Scouts Council of Atlantic City,
and has had prominent part in the
agreeable task of creating an organiza.
ton Of more than. 500 uniformed bows,
fitting themselves to be better lads and
more worthy citizens. He is actively
connected with banking and other in.
situations in his home section of the
State, as director or officer.
HIS PLATFORM.
Senator Edge has pledged himself to
give New Jersey business administra.
ton if he is made it's next Governor.
He also has announced very clearly
his conception of the duty and the func-
tions of State Executive.
1t is his earnest conviction that the
Governor of New Jersey should be the
Business Manager of the State, and that
he should in addition to constitutional
requirements assume the same response
bilities that fall to the head Of great
business organization.
He believes the Governor should there
fore be in daily touch with his Office and
his work.
lie believes also that the Governor
should familiarize himself, through the
heads of departments, with all branches
of institutional work. and cooperate
with the responsible heads of these de-
partments and legislative committees
and commissions to systematic the ma
chinery, to the end that the greatest
possible measure of results may be OBJ
tanned.
His legislative experience has con-
WINGED Senator Edge that there must be
political leadership within bounds in
order to procure these results.
He believes legislative cooperation
will follow if the Governor,
having thoroughly familiarized himself
with the needs of the State, and having
proceeded to place the administration of
State affairs upon sound business basis,
demands that CO operation in the name
Of the people of the State and demon
strates that he knows what he is talking
about
He realizes that the State has powers
to serve its stockholders, the People, |
that are not given to private business,
and he believes these powers and oppor-
tunities can be so co-ordinated, under |
she direction of the Governor, as to en-
able New Jersey to meet, far better than
before, the needs of it's institutional de-
and on the other hand by bust
less treatment likewise conserve the
States resources and vastly expand the
development Of the Commonwealth
rom an industrial standpoint.
Senator Edge believes that the Cover
Tor, In order to carry out such plan of
development, should to an extent be the
financial administrator of the State, and
hat he should be prepared, through
rained assistants, to generally direct the
Hairs of every branch of the State gov
rnment with the same efficiency that
las made American business organiza
ions a model for the world to copy.

Colonel Edge was elected to the Sen
ate in the following year, and, with the
present session, will have served si1
years in that body He served as majority
leader and in recognition of his ability
was made President of the Senate fol-
the session of 1915. During Governor
Fielder's absence in California and in
Boston last year he served as Acting
Governor for five weeks.
During this period he was called upon
to decide some very important extra
dition matters, one of which established
a legal precedent, an exhausted opinion
from the Chancellor of New Jersey sus
tanning his conclusions and furnishing a
rule for further guidance. His know.
ledge Of legislative and executive de.
tails, therefore, is the product of studious
observation and wide range of exper.
fence.
Colonel Edge long has been interested
in military matters. He volunteered fol-
the Spanish-American war in 1898 and
was commissioned Second Lieutenant OF
Company F, Fourth New Jersey Volun-
teer Infantry. When mustered out he
became Battalion Adjutant of the Bro
Regiment, New Jersey National Guard,
headquarters in Camden. He later ac-
cepted the captaincy of Company L, Bird
Regiment, in Atlantic City, and held
that position for a number of years,
bringing his command to a high plane
of efficiency.
subsequently he was made Lieuten-
ant Colonel and Chief of Ordnance on
the staff of General Wanser, and later
held the same rank on the staff of Gen.
eral Murray. He is now upon the un-
assigned list Of the National Guard.
During these years of military training
Colonel Edge served also upon the per-
sonal military staff of Governor Foster
M. Voorhees,, of Governor Franklin
and of Governor Edward C.
Stokes.
Senator Edge was elected a Presiden-
tial Elector in 1904, and was an Alter
nate Delegate-at-Large to the Republi-
can National Convention in Chicago in
1908.
The Senator rather inherited q taste
Tor public life, as two great uncles were
members of the Pennsylvania Legisla-
lure and another Collector of the Port of
Philadelphia for years. His great grand
ather was judge of the Supreme Court
If Pennsylvania for forty years.
HIS BUSINESS LIFE.
Senator Edges business life, probably,
s similar in details to that of many
mother self-made man. He did not
AVE the advantage of a college educa-
ion. He began his school life in the
public schools of PleasantviIle, N. j.,
,oing through the various grades to
radiation under New Jerseys admir-
bile system of public education.
He started his business career as an |
flee boy and printers devil in the
flee of the Atlantic Review, then |
weekly newspaper. He advanced |
through the customary stages learning
he printing trade and some of the de- |
ais OF the newspaper business. AT the |
ge of Is he became associated with the
)orland Advertising Agency, then a
urely local institution in Atlantic Citv. |
making speciality of hotel publicity.

While the Presidents presentation of
the situation to his visitors was not dis
closed, it is known that war department
officials have in view tht possibility that
American troops might be needed in some
southern country to aid in repelling an
invader. and that the constitutional linz

to territorial United States hampers prep
aration for an adequate defence of the
Pan-American doctrine in case of need
Both Democratic and Republican men,

position that the contnentals would not
in any case be available for immediate
use outside the country under the train

they hold, the continentals would need
months of additional training before they
could take the field.

militia to large extent and also to
grant the regular army increases asked
by the war department.
