o plenish 1t, because the force at Cand-
4 ler Warehouse was engaged on of.

Trenton, Feb. ga repeal of the
Edge corrupt practices act is the idea
of bill just introduced in the house
of assembly by Assemblyman Seigler,
Democrat, of Essex. Many criticisms
have resulted as the outcome of the
first test of the Edge act in the last
campaign. 1t is very drastic in it's pro-
visions and surrounds the candidate
for office with so much red tape in the
handling of his campaign fund that
were disgusted Another Democratic
measure just introduced calls for an
amendment to the state constitution
providing for the election of assembly
men by districts. Many counties which
regularly return Republican members
of the house under the present system
would elect at least one or two Demo-
Gratis and vice versa in Democratic
counties if this equitable plan of cleo
ton by districts, which was once in
practice in New Jersey, is restored.
Assemblyman Finley, also of Essex, is
sponsoring this measure.
1t is quite probable that the week
after next will see the fixing of the
time limit for the Introduction of bills
in the present legislature. The Demo
Gratis will stand for short and snappy
session, it is believed, provided the Re-
publicans recognize their assembly

Gets A NASTY SPILL
PASSING ANOTHER CAR

Last Sunday afternoon about 4
O'Clock Shraft bakery and candy de-
livery automobile, REQ car, closed
box top, was coming east along the
Arcola road, making close to 80 miles
an hour, when its driver attempted and
did pass several other cars. A big
Hudson six, however, either did not
hear the oncoming Shraft delivery car
or did not move to the other side of
the road when the commercial car
made haste to go on anyhow. Here he
made miscalculation. The road at
that point has no abutting shoulder,
and the side earth was almost mushy
soft. The left wheels of the REQ took
the dirt line on the edge and was soon
in straits 1t wabbled for 80 feet or
more, then went into the shallow ditch
alongside the road. Fortunately it did
not completely overturn. When it
stopped cut craWled a man and a wO-
man, the latter riding inside, and the
driver. All got out, pretty we'll shaken
up badly scared, but otherwise I'M
hurt. 1t was a hazardous try the driv-
er made, and it might have been seri-
Gus. A PaliSadian family was just be-
hind the REQ and witnessed the acct

MOVES HITS AT EDWARDS,
SAYING BOND ISSUE
WILL WORK AT BIG COST

Trenton, Feb. 25.-Weller FL, Noyes,
chairman of the New Jersey Bridge
and Tunnel Commission, today adj
dressed letter to William H. Bright,
chairman of the Senate Committee on
Highways, in which he criticised the
Edwards BILL which seeks to build a
tunnel under the Hudson river by a
bond issue of $12000,0O0 Mr. Moves
called attention to the fact that New
Jersey is partner in the project with
New York.
Mr.. Moves laments that the Edwards
bill is not in conformity with legisla-
ton now proposed in New York and
says that this bond issue would double
in interest charges, delay for many
years the ending of the toll charges
whereby both New York and New Jer-
sey seek to discharge the debt. He
contends that by the direct tax both in
New York and New Jersey the Jersey
citizens will be saved $19,000,0O0.
