TO BREAK THE DEADLOCK

Why is it necessary for the legislature to adjourn for a whole
week after every few ballots on the speakcrship are taken, thereby
losing much valuable time without any real effort to settle the matterf
their secret meetings and plan and scheme for a deal for their mutual
advantage.
The fact is, the legislature has got to organize some time. Why
not, then, keep everlastingly at it until organization is Accomplished
All of the legislators have their own private business to attend to and
if they found that they were to be kept at Trenton constantly until a
get down to work.
Already there are rumors of deals and scandals in connection with
the speakership. A secret meeting between the unspeakable jim
Eugent and David Baird is reported to have taken place in the Robert
Treat Hotel in Newark a few days ago whereby those two notorious
bosses of the Democratic and Republican parties respectively, are
laid to have got together, Nugent agreeing to deliver enough Demo-
cratic votes TO elect Pierson,. the Republican candidate, speaker, and
Nugent, of course, getting his reward in some way.
The whole thing smells of the rankest kind of politics. The scandal
is going to grow unless an organization is perfected quickly. There is
no sense in adjourning for a week after every few ballots. Let it be-
come known that the members of the legislature are going to be kept
right on the job at Trenton until they organize and they will not be
long reaching a settlement.
Under the circumstances, the simplest way is to settle the speaker
ship by lot. Our grand juries are thus selected; the position of can
didates on the ballots are decided in that way, men were drafted into
the army that way, then why not settle such a perplexing question as
the tie in the House in the same mannerf
But whether the speaker is selected by lot II not, the fact remains
that no good is accomplished by adjourning for a whole week every
time a few futile ballots ON the speakership ire taken. The least that
can be done is to keep on bslloting continuously until the deadlock is
broken
