JERSEY EDITOR DROPS
CLOAK OF DEMOCRACY
Benjamin B. Bobbitt Bitterly
Arraigns Party Leadership in
State and Monmouth County
TRENTON, oct. II.


Benjamin b. Bobbitt, who, until recently,
was the editor Of the Long Branch Record
and a strong Democrat, has been retained
as editor Of the Monmouth American, new
paper to be published Tuesdays and FRI
days as a Republican organ.
Mr.. Bobbtt has announced his quitting
the Democratic party and his afiliation
with the Republican party. and pledges
support to the Edge administration lie
was one Of the original Wilson men Of the
state, urging his candidacy in newspapers
and in n New York magazine of which he
was editor.
Last fall Mr. Bobbitt was prize winner
In an editorial contest conducted by the
Public Ledger, on the subject. "Why Presl-
dent Wilson should be reelected" The
Long Branch editor is at present State
Commissioner of Reports, having been APP
pointed to that position by Governor Field
er, and he has two years to serve in that
position.
Mr.. Bobbitt, in his statement, bitterly
arraigns the Democratic leaders in New
Jersey and in Monmouth County for stu
pidity, inefiicency and narrow PARTISAN
ship. He hints at graft and mismanage-
ment in the county and scores Democratic
legislative leaders, particularly Minority
Assembly Leader Geran, father of the
candidate for Sheriff in Monmouth County,
for opposing and obstructing the progress
of the Edge administration, which he
praises highly.
Mr.. Bobbitt says:
Every one is not informed concerning
conditions in Monmouth County and New
Jersey with respect to politics in its vari-
Gus ramfcations. That's no discredit TO
them because most people lack opportun-
ties and facilities engrosscd as they are
in their daily duties, to devote much atten-
tion to the sub jeCt II would be a disCredt
and disgrace, however if, knowing condi-
tions as [ do through my newspaper activ-
ties and my intimate acquaintance with
happenings at Trenton and Freehold, I.
pending a house cleaning, remained a DEM
ocrat.
Just so It would be a stain upon my
inner soul were |, knowing what l do, to
refrain from disclosing some of it. uld
not with a clear conscience remain on the
staff of a Democratic newspaper and pal
late, minimize and defend acts of gross
treachery to the public on the part of men
upon whom the public had conferred honor
and power
"I have never been able to believe that
any one party enjoyed a monopoly OF
honesty or brains. My political creed is
that principle counts more than party
My predictions and inclinations were long
toward the Democratic party For five
years l battled against the Republican tide
in this county until Bryan made me a Taft
supporter in 1908. Even in that year,
urged Woodrow Wilson for the presidency
and worked for and rejoined at his election
as Governor in 1910
"It is only an amazing record Of Demo
cratic inCapacity, ineptitude petty politics
and chicanery that has forced me to part
company until such time as conditin MS may
be different with the selfish, weak, arro-
giant clique that is in control in county and
State"

ARE
MADE AGAINST THE
COAL DEALERS

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-A gen
eral investigation into the retail and
Wholesale prices of coal throughout
the country appears probable.
In minor way, investigation of
the prices consumers assert they
have been compelled to pay already
has been started by the department
OF justice in various sections Of the
east and middle west, both as to
anthracite and bituminous coal.
Instructions have been sent to the
United States attorneys conducting
these local Investigations to summon
witnesses, determine the truth of
the charges and, where justified. to
bring promptly proceedings under
the criminal law against those be-
lieved to be guilty
These instructions were based on
complaints that the margin of profit
allowed the dealers by the govern
ment had been exceeded. Measured
by tn great volume of complaints
which have been received by the
fuel administration the instances un-
der investigation by the department
OF justice are comparatively incon-
soQuential.
The disposition of the complaints
Is one OF the subjects which now is
pressing the fuel administration it
is understood and action concerning
them probably will be taken within
a few days.
Indications are that the bulk of
the complaints upon which criminal
proceedings might be brought-if
the truth of the charges can be es-
tablished-will be turned over to
the department of justice, with the
suggestion that violators of the law
be prosecuted promptly.
