"VILLAIN"
 AT HOME AS A HERO"

Bryant Washburn is becoming thor oughly at home in the "hero" parts of Essanay productions. Since being taken out of villain" roles some time age he has played in numerous photo plays where he could renounce the three -pronged fork.
 The latest of these is "The Blind ness of Virtue" in which he takes the part of Archie, the law student, playing opposite Miss Edna Mayo.
 "When fellow has been playing the leading villain parts for years, Y" he remarked as he finished one of the "The Blindness of Virtue" scenes, land then goes into hero role, the transition is sudden and it is some times difficult to refrain from scowl- ing.
 q am becoming used to taking these parts, however. In this latest film am supposed to be in love with the minister's daughter and to protect her from the folly of her ignorance. :"
 This moral film will be shown here at The Gem theatre Thursday, mati- nee and night.

ment was the urging of many represen-
tative Democrats that my work in the
Legislature during four sessions would
furnish a record for achievement that
would provide a ground work upon which
to uild a substantial campaign, should
my candidacy be successful at the pri-
maries."
Mr.. Martin reviews his legislative rec
ord briefly, showing that he supported
the bills giving cities commission govern

reform laws; the workmen's compensa-
ton and employers liability laws, the
full crew laws; the grade crossing re-

A new element of politics is brought
into the newspaper field of New Jersey
by the acquisition of the Newark Star
and Eagle by a syndicate headed by Sen
ator Austen Colgate, Republican. of
Essex County. The two papers, which
were long owned by former United States
Senator James Smith, Jr., have been con-
solidated and will be issued as an after
noon paper. The fact that Senator Col
gate is one of the owners of the paper
has given rise to the report that it will
be controlled by the regular Republican
faction of Essex County which is backing
Ex-Governor Murphy for United States
Senator and Senator Colgate for Gov
ernor, but this is denied. The editorial
announcement is that the journal will be
independent in politics and the fact that
George Smith, the son of ex-senator
Smith, has been retained as a employe.

is likely, however, that the management
of the paper will be inclined to favor
Senator Colgate in his aspiration to be
Governor.
The sudden death of George W. Deck
er IN Jersey City, makes a vacancy in
the State Republican Committee, as he
was the Hudson County member of that
Committee. The vacancy will be filed
for the ~unexpired term by the Hudson
County Republican Committee, as pro-
vided in the act of April 6, 1915. The
term of the members of the State Com
mittee is 3 years. The new State Com
mittee of both parties will be chosen at
the primaries next September, the pro-
vision of the Geran act being that these
committees shall be chosen at the pri-
maries in each year that a Governor is
elected.
Several names are being mentioned for
the slate of the Republican big four"
among them, State Chairman Newton A.

off the tendency toward Wittpenn. Witt
penn has been showing growing strength
during the past month or two, SO that
even State Chairman Grosscup admitted
two weeks ago that as matters then
stood Wittpenn was the strongest man
talked of for the nomination. However,
many Democrats think that Wittpenn is
not the strongest candidate that can be
named, and to some, this feeling explains
the action of Mr.. Martin throwing his
hat into the ring. For example, if Sec
rotary of Wal Garrison could be induced
to run, there would be no Wittpenn boom,
Martin boom or any other candidacy but
his. But the Secretary of War remains
firm in his declaration that he will not
be a candidate. One explanation, there
fore, of the Martin announcement is that
the anti Wittpenn men desire to stop the
trend toward Wittpenn while they look
around for the best man to defeat him
for the nomination. In the end this man
may be Martin, or some other Democrat,
in which latter case Martin would with
draw and throw his strength to the Sc
lected candidate.
Another view of the situation is that
Secretary Martin has entered the race
in order to divide the Hudson County
vote and thus prevent the nomination of
Wittpenn. Such a game is an old one in
politics. Hudson County has by far the
largest Democratic vote of any county
in the state, and the candidate that gets
its undivided and untrammeled vote is
quite likely to be nominated. There
fore, it will be seen at once that if the
vote of the county can be split by the
anti Wittpenn Democrats they can great
ly weaken Wittpenn's chances and aid
their own cause. If this were accom-
plished and the -Wittpenn candidate
were nominated and elected Governor,
the faction opposed to Wittpenn would
be SIT" with the administration, while
the Wittpenn faction would not be recog-
nized.
All these speculations seem to be dis
counted by Secretary Martins statement,
which on its face puts him definitely and
unequivoeally in the field for the nomin-
alton. He not only says he has decided
to become a candidate, but states that
he will make a fuller announcement lat
err.
81 have decided to become a candidate
for the Democratic nomination for Gov
ernor," says Mr.. Martin. MANY circum-
stances have entered into the decision,
n of them being the recent harmony
conference in our own county which
makes possible the entrance of a Hudson
county man under circumstances that will
not initiate against party success in
other parts of the state. Another ele-

They are children of your fancics,
