acts of State Comptroller Newton A.
X. Bugbee as chairman of the Repub-
llcan State Committee, pending his
resignation from the Craftsmanship to
take UP actively his campaign for the
Republican nomination for governor
was to address an open letter to State
Senator Edward l. Edwards of Hud-
son county, candidate of the Hague
Nugent machine for the Democratic
nomination for governor, demanding
that Edwards come ont of the vague
haze of denunciatiOn and give specific
reasons why he has INDUCED in such
RABBIT attacks on the recently enacted
appropriation bill, fathered by Re-
publican administration. AS an inn
portant part of the administration it
would be natural for Comptroller Bug
bee to make this demand, as we'll as
by reason of the fact that he was the
official head of the Republican party
In the state.
Mr.. Bugbee takes up categorically
the various appropriations which make
up the total of the bill, and. presenting
each to Senator Edwards. asks
whether his objections We're definite
as to items included in the bill.

"My Dear Senator:
when the appropriation bill was
introduced in the senate it was scath-

occasion, however, were so general in
their character as to leave consider

Of the state as to whether the entire

objections were definite as TO items
Included in the bill l therefore take
the privilege of asking you the follow

Like Mr.. Stokes. Mr.. Bugbee has al
ways been advisory not compulsory,
in his methods and has never sought
or acquired the reputation of Il politi-
cal boss His especial success in the
various state campaigns he has han
died has been in getting the party
tremendously together and developing
enthusiasm among all elements. The
campaign of 1916, in which the Re-
publican party carried New Jersey by
such remarkable pluralities, in the
vain attempt to stem the Democratic
tide, which was sweeping over the
country, stands out particularly as
monument to Mr.. Bugbee's ability as
an organizer and leader.

STOKES LOGICAL
STATE CHAIRMAN
Press Approves in Advance Sc
lection of Republican State
Committee.
VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN ASSURED
New Chairman, Like Retiring One,
Comptroller Bugbee, Has Never
Been Known as a Polit-
ical Boss.

Trenton, April 22.-Anticipating to-
days action of the Republican. State
/ Committee in unanimously selecting
former Governor Edward C. Stokes to
succeed State Comptroller Newton A.
K. Bugbee as its chairman, numerous
newspapers throughout the state, Dem
Ocratic as well as Republican, have
referred TO the former governor as the
logical man for the place and have
paid tribute to his ability as political
manager as well as to his long and in
innate experience with state affairs.
Reports that anybody was seriously
considered for the Craftsmanship be-
sides Mr.. Stokes are made out of the
whole cloth. As soon as Mr.. Bugbee
made it known that he intended to re-
sign Mr.. Stokes was the one man the
committee had in mind as his sue
cessor. His election was in accord
ance with the unanimous recommended
ton of a special nominating commit
tee consisting of William Bowman of
Somerset county, former United States
Senator David Baird of Camden, Sher-
tff John r. Flavell of Essex, c. Asa
Francis of Monmouth and William HI.
All right of Gloucester.
Never a Political Boss.
In all the years he has served as
acting chairman, vice chairman or
chairman of the State Committee, Mr..
Stokes has never acquired in the
slightest degree the reputation of be-
Ing political boss, because the meth
DDS he has adopted have been advisory
and not compulsory and the work he
has done has been constructive. with
the view of building up the party as
a whole, never promoting the interest
Of any candidate at the expense Of the
party. For this reason he is looked
upon as a man who will be eminently
fair under the trying conditions of
primary campaign.
Certain it is that under the direction
Of live wire like Mr. Stokes the Re-
publican campaign will be prosecuted

ly conceded that the result of the
congressional elections throughout
the country last fall was evidence that
the people are turning against the do

will get business solidly on its feet.

THE HOME BUILDING TOWN

 Most of the country is Adding around with its hos- ing situation getting few houses built here and there, leaving every opportunity open to the building shark to build in the possible and to extract the best price from the hOme-hungry
 Connersvile. lnd has decided that the only way to do thing is to do it. Leading citizens of the town have formed a big stock company and are selling stock n small blocks to very large proportion of the citizens spending every available dgesting the letters and pamphlets received from other cities showing how
 they dealt with housing problems Plans being drawn and all arrangements made for building the needed houses in a complete and effective way.
 One of the important points brought out by the ln- veStgatonS that the probitlvc cost of building at sent myth Building costs more than It did. of course, The dollar is worth less in labor and material But bud ngi homes for city which needs them is not pcnsvc-and in fact is rather less sothan buying food for stomachs which have to be fed.
 And proper housing at any cost is cheaper than ov er-crowdng with it's attendant dscomforts strain morals and invitation to epidemic.
 But to build houses economically city needs to know how says the Conncrsvlc Evening News. That what the committee is studving. even while it studies the community organization idea.
 It is probable that nowhere will cooperation and wholesale methods show better advantage than in building these houses Material can be bought much cheaply and labor arranged various jobs more advanta tageouSy. than in the individual building pan There is suppose that the houses built the Connelsville plan will be constructed with greater. solidv and lasting quality. better arrangements for venience in living and working than the average small house constructed by the individual.

THE POT THAT MELTS

 ''To stimulate the recruiting of iterate and English speaking by actually showing prospective applicants what has been and what is being accomplished in given tme
 To refute assertions that the army is not finding practical solutions to pressing problems with which 1t confronted.
 TO show people that, while others have been talking natuIazaton Americanization, the melting pot etc, the army has gone to work and has established melting pot that actually 'melts.''
 It would be to find in almost any army unit who could give eloquent testimony this melting pot character of the United States army today There are facts toO that speak loudly any words Of over 100000 men already enlisted for the army than twO-thrds are men only recently discharged from the army Tha is fine evidence iii itself of what the army has done for young men, both native and foregnbO and the high regard they have for it.
