Through the cooperation of the Fed
eral, State and municipal authorities upon
a plan worked out by State Commissioner
of Labor Lewis T. Bryant, after confer
ence with COMMISSIONS General of I'm
migration Caminetti and other United
States officers, it is expected that the
problem of the unemployed in this state
Will be solved as far as possible. This
movement to provide work for all men
OF the state is to be worked out through
the Joint administration of the act of
1918 for the establishment of free en-
ployment bureaus by the Labor Depart
ment, and the act of 1916 creating with
the Labor Department a workmen's com
pensation aid bureau. The h~eadquar-

Former State Senator Joseph S. Ere
li~nghuysen, of Somerset County. is us
ing a novel method of getting his plat
form before the Republican voters in his
campaign for the nomination for United
States Senator. When a Republican
signs n Of the petitions being circu-
lated for Mr.. -Frelinghuysen to get his
name on the primary ballot, he has an
opportunity to read a synopsis of his
platform. This is ACCOMPLISHED bv an
attachment to each petition which has
been copyrighted by z. S. Atkinson. the
campaign manager.
Manager Atkinson states that from all
parts of the State excellent reports are
being received regarding the campaign of
ex-senator F~relinghuysen.
The candidacy of former Senator
Frelinghuysen," continued Mr.. Atkin-
son, is meeting with marked approval
in every county. judging from letters
that are being received at his headouar-
tiers from prominent Republicans.'
