King after Utility Board for
Delays--Runyon Working
on Ills Platform
By spseial oorrespoAdsnf.


TRENTON, July 23-Narren G.
King, Republican candidate for Gov
ernor, is attempting to draw the
Board of Public Utility Commissioners
into the primary campaign in New
Jersey, quizZing the commissioners
for what he considers unnecessary
delay in holding up decision of the re-
quest of the Public Service Gas Com
pany for increased rates until after
the September primaries.
Pointedly, Mr.. King asked the
utility board if they postponed the
hearing until September II, with the
idea of rendering a decision after the
Republican and Democratic fcandi-
dates for Governor have been voted
tpon ON September 20. Can it be
possible that the members of the
Honorable Board are waiting to see
which way the cat jumps?," aid Mr..
King.
Governor Runyon Is taking full
advantage of the opportunity afford
ed by the law of 1919, for the prefer
mont of veterans of the World-War,
for political Offices, outside of civil
service jobs. The Governor insists
that young men who answered the
nations call to arms be elected for the
vacancies this year on the twenty-one
County Boards of Registry and Elec-
tons.
Governor Runyon is still working
on the platform which will contain
his primary issues. AT the Governors
Day gathering at the State House
Tuesday, the Secretary to the Cover
nor, Vincent w. Nash. said the Gov
error was still working on his pro-
posed declaration of principles.
New Jersey Republican leaders find
great satisfaction in the compliment
paid State Chairman Edward G.
Stokes by National Chairman Will
II. Hayes for the excellent organiza-
ton work in this State. The Repub-
iican National Chairman said the re-
port of the recent conference of h
New Jersey State League of Republic
can Clubs have reached headquarters
of the Republican National Com
mittee and insures that there h be
no closed season in Republican poll
tics In New Jersey" as the National
chairman put it.
State Comptroller Newton A. X.
Bugbee was today privately solicited
for his views on prohibition, Sunday
moving picture shows and Sabbath
sports and re~creations by Benjamin
b. Bobbitt, former State Compiler of
Oficial Reports, and now publisher
of an independent Republican news
paper at Long Branch. Mr.. Bobbitt
also asks the Republican candidate
for Governor to publicly express his
views on utility regulation. Mr.. Bob
bitt quoted Mr.. Bugbee's address at
Madison on July 16, in which the
comptroller said prohibition Is not
an issue in the coming gubernatorial
election. The constitutional amend
ment becomes operative on January
1, 1920. 1t is therefore obvious that
there is nothing left for New Jersey
to do except cooperate in the enforce

CARDINAL GIBBONS URGES
AMERICANS TO BACK
SALVATION ARMY CAMPAIGN

James CARDINAL Gibbons, head Of
the Roman Catholic church in this
country, and one of the best
loved preachers and writer's in the
United States today, in letter sent
to former Governor Chas. S. Whit
man Of New York City, national
chairman for the coming drive, ex-
pressed himself as entirely behind
the work of the Salvation Army and
asked the citizens of this country -
rally to their support to gain the
thirteen million dollar goal which
the Salvation Army has set out 20
do
This unqualified endorsement com-
ing from the lips of man of Cardi
nal Gibbons type, carried dignity
and weight because Cardinal Gibbons
very seldom gives an interview On
any national subject outside of the
work of the Roman Catholic church.
His letter in full follows:
"I have been asked by the local
commander of the Salvation Army to
address word to you as the Ma
tional chairman of the campaign
about, to be launched in behalf of the
above organization. This I am happy
to do and for the reason that along
with my fellow-American citizens I
rejoice in the splendid service which
the Salvation Army rendered our SOL
dier and sailor boys during the war.
Every returning trooper IS willing
work of the Salvation Army both at
the front and In the camps at home.
l am also more happy to commend
this organization because it is free
from sectarian bias. The man in
need Of help is the object Of their
effort with never question of his
creed or color. I trust therefore your
efforts to raise thirteen million dol
lars for the Salvation Army will
meet with hearty response from our
generous American people
In hhs reply to the distinguished
prelate,, Governor Whitman said:
''Your gracious letter endorsing the
activities of the Salvation Army here
and abroad and drawing attention
to it's freedom from sectarian bias,
is received, expressing as it does.
that spirit of broad tolerance and
democracy which has made you be-
loved and venerated by all Americans
irrespective of race and creed. II
will be a great help to Commander
Booth and those associated with her
in the effort to raise the funds so es-
sential to the efficiency of their labors
for humanity. The Salvation Army
is honored by this recognition of it's
purposes and ideals. Our work will
be the better because of your inspir-
ing words of encouragement.

PLANS PROGRESSING FOR
GREAT COTTON CORPORATION
To Have Capital Stock of One or
Two Hundred Million Dollars.
Stock Being Subscribed.

Columbia. Apol 2S.-Plans for the
formation of big cotton export cor
poration with capital stock of one
or two hundred million dollars are
rapidly being worked out, says state
ment issued recently by the South
Carolina Cotton association. 1t is un-
derstood, says the statement, that the
city Of Birmingham, Ala, alone, is
preparing to take s10,0C0O0O of the
stock of the new corporation.

recent meeting in Memphis" says

tails Of the formation of great cot

tai stock Of s1O0, 100000 is proceed
ing very carefully with its task but
it is learned that the plans are being
rapidly worked out. The proposition
is said to be finding great favor over
the entire South and there is every
reason to believe that it will be put
over.
"The committee has not yet acted
on the suggestion of conference held
in Columbia recently that the capital
stock of the proposed corporation
be made s2OO,0OO00O instead of $780,
100000 as aadopted by the Memphis
meeting. The suggestion of the
South Carolina conference respect
ing the increase of stock will be
formally submitted to the committee
shortly.
"This corporation will have power
to handle cotton in all of its various
phases, including exporting, mar
keting, warehousing and financing;
in fact every phase practically tina:
touches cotton. 1t will largely fill
the place in the South, both to the
