Stokes Goes to Newark to Take
Up SituatiOn.
By Special Correspondent.

TRENTON, Oct. 18,-t1llmore
Condit's bolt from the Republican
state ticket for governor, after his
retirement from the rae as an d
pendent Republican candidate in ia
vor of Mr.. Bugbee, caused something
of a political sensation here among
the State House politicians who are
following closely the course for the
battle, kor the States political supre-
macy this year. They a anticipated
that the Republican State Organlza-
ton had Condit and the rest of the
dry organization "sewed up" so to
speak, for the rest of this years
fight, and Condit's declaration that
Mr.. Bugbee will be The worst de-
feated candidate ever nominated by
the Republicans in New Jersey had
the effect of a thunderbolt from a
clear sky.
Not only was it received with con-
sternation among the dope tiers at the
state capital, but at the headquarters
of the Republican State Committee as
well n yesterday afternoon it was
announced that State Chairman Z. G.
Stokes had gone to Newark. Although
no explanations for the reason for his
trip were made. it was understood
that Condit's latest position induced
Mr.. Stokes to make a flying jump to.
Essex county to see first hand what
the situation is in the home county
of the former dry candidate for
governor.
A little more than two weeks re-
main, before the election on Tuesday,
November 4. and during the past week
the campaign so increased in tense
ness that indications today were for
one of the most spectacular fights in
the closing two weeks the State has
eve witnessed. Both Mr.. Bugbee
and Mr.. Edwards, Republican and
Democratic rivals for governor re-
spectively, are out on the stump n
already the lie has been passed be-
tween them. Mr.. Bugbee accused Mr..
Edwards of classifying when the DEM
ocratic nominee charged his rival with
having an alliance with the Public
Service Corporation.

NAL demand, to say nothing of MAX
ing up for lost time. Many architects
have received stop orders from the
builders on account of the uncertain
condition of material and labor"
Outlook said the average increase
in the cost of material throughout
the country is from 70 to rs per cent
since 1918. In his opinion owners
who charge 100 per cent more rent
than in 1913 are not profiteering
but those who charge more are.
Government Offers
Nothing to Help.
No department here is giving the
general housing situation n atten-
ton. All any Washington official
knows is that houses are scarce and
rents high. Congress has attempted
to legislate rents down in the District
of Columbia and the landlords have
been branded as profltecrs.
The only way to solve the housing
problem is to build more houses.
Two cities in the United States have
more houses than they can use, Erie,
Pa, and Bridgeport, Conn. All the
other cities are suffering from q short
rents are high.
The United States Housing Corpor-
alton has quit providing homes and is
selling off the 5000 houses it built
during the war. Congress has two
bills, one to make the bureau a per-
manent branch of the Labor Depart
ment and the other to abolish it. The
latter probably will pass.

There are five million more families
In the United States than there is liv-

AS a matter of fact, the five million
families are jammed with the rest of
the hundred million or more and
many, many millions of the whole
population are at the mercy of land
lords.
And landlords are living up to their
ancient reputatinn in the majority or
cases.
They hardly can be called merci-
full.
The natural cause of the shortage
of homes is the growth in population,
and the increase in the number of
crease in the number of houses.
In 1910 there were 20,255,555
homes in the United States and in
round numbers about 20, $4,000 900 fam
lilies occupying them.
The 10 years previous to 1910 the
number of homes had to increase 25
percent to keep up with the increase
in the number of families. That would
mean that the increase since 1910
would have to be in round numbers
5000, 900 more homes.
But the war stopped building for
two years of the decade, thus pre-
venting construction of 100000 of
the homes. In round numbers, the g.
