TRENTON, Sept. 6:-Unless the
managers of the Edwards and Nugent
rival booms for the Democratic nom
ination for governor stop the quarrel
which is now injecting bitterness into
their contest a breach will be made
in the ranks which will throw away
all chances of Democratic party sue
cess at the November election. This
Is the opinion of political observers
at the State House, as well as
throughout the state. For months it
has been conceded on all sides that
the prospects of a Democratic victory
were at least even with those of the
G. o. P. in this falls campaign for
governor, legislature and other Offices
but the recently developed tactics of
the two leading candidates to charge
each other with Justification and
other equally reprehensible things do
not augur well for harmony after the
smoke of the primary battle clears
away.
1t is predicted here, in view of the
present controversy over the question
of Scully notes In the Edwards Jer-
sey City bank, started by Nugent,
that already the disruption has been
created and an Edwards victory,
which seems likely, at the primaries
means failure to hold the Nugent
Essex county support for the ticket
at November and Nugent primary
nomination, 80 far as the Hague or
ganization support in Hudson is con-
cerned, would have the Same detri-
mental effect ON the Essex mans
candidacy in November. In other
words, Essex would not stand pack
of the Hudson mans candidacy and
vice versa, in view of the row which
is growing greater with every day OF
the contest.
While the Republican leaders have
plenty of trouble on their own hands
to settle, not only so far as the gup-
ernatorial nomination is concerned
but in many of the counties as well,
it is O. known fact that they are
taking considerable satisfaction ou'
of the inability of Nugent and Ed
wards to refrain from personalities
and bitterness in their contest, with
all Its attending lack Of harmony az
ter the. nomination fight is settled.
The Republican State Committee
meets here next week not to tall

WAL Street RAILROAD PLANS
TERMED seGRASPING'' BY MR.. PLUMB

posed, in the various bills brought
forward by Wall street to legalize
this property investment account
as the actual value of our railroad
properties. 1t is proposed that the
Federal Government shall guarantee
interest or dividends on this total
sum.
That Is why we say that the Wall
street bills are more revolutionary
than labor's bill. The Wall street
bills propose to legalize fictitious val
ues. If that were done, the people
would have no recourse save through
extra-legal action. AS sure as the
sun will rise tomorrow. these bills
contain the seeds of revolution.
1t proposes, in short, to make per-
manent the thing that has already le-
gally happened through natural eco
nomic action, namely, the drop below
par value that is represented by the
market value of railroad securities
That is about what 1t amounts to.
Roughly, the legal value, based on
charter rights, of all the railroad
property, would not run to more than
$12, 100000.

scuIly Has more to Saw.

Representative Thomas ]. Scully is
sued another statement today denying
even more categorically Nugent's story
of the $4,000 note transfer.
81 see," he says. that James r.
Nugent persists in his lying statement
about $4,000 note deal. and de-
clines my challenge to meet him on
any platform and determine by proof
who is the liar. Really, there does
not seem. to be anything to do with
Jim but to let him wallow.
THE persistence with which he
maintains his he, in the face of the
challenges and denials of Mr.. Ed
wards and myself. and his own fail
ure to furnish proof or name his in
formant. to some extent make denials
undignif1ed and superf1uous. Never
theless, I wish to clarity the situation
by adding something to my statement
of yesterday-somethin which escap-
ed me in the moment of issuing hur-
ried denial. I wish to say not only
that 1 never transferred $4,000 in
notes from Perth Amboy banks to Mr..
Edwards bank, not only that I never
transferred them to any other bank,
but wish to say clearly and positive
ly that there never were any such
notes to be transferred, because they
did not exist and do not exist.
"Mr. Nugent is a candidate for Gov
ernor of New Jersey. He has pub
lished a malicious lie. He has been
told publicly that it is a lie. Is he go
ing to refuse to furnish proof OF his
statement and still remain a candi-
date? I presume he is. because that's
the kind of a man he Is and the kind
of Governor he would be.
"Mr. Edwards and myself are men
of honor and integrity. Each of US
knows the facts of which we speak.
Men of honor and integrity will be-
lieve us when we say that not only Is
Mr.. Nugent's statement not true as
he made it but that there Is not an
atom of foundation for 1t.

have said that labor's plan for a
solution Of the railroad problem in
America IL the only plan 20 far pro-
posed which safeguards the interests
OF the public. It is the only plan. In
fact, which pretends to safeguard the
interests Of the public.
The railroad properties OF the
country are waterlogged; they are
heavy with illegitimate stock and
fictitious values. There are few rail-
roads in the country which have kept
within its charter grants in the issu-
ing of stock. Vast sums out Of earn
ings taken from the public. have been
capitalized Illegally, in excess Of the
rights granted by the public. The
traffic, paid for by the public. has
had to bear the constantly increasing
rate necessary to pay the interest on
this Illegal capitalization.

Crowley June "a to 27.

A school for threshermen will
be conducted at Crowley. Louisi-
ana, for four days. June "a to q,
inclusive, by the department Of
agronomy, Louisiana State Uni
versity, assisted by specialists from
the L. S. Department of Agricul-
ture and manufacturers of thresh-
ing machinery.
A study of the threshing qucs-
ton throughout the small grain
belt, including the rice belt, of the
country has revealed the fact that
there lis much waste OF material
and energy in harvesting of the
crops, due to lack of efficiency in
the machines and on part of the
operators. 1t is proposed to as
semble for use in instruction at
this school an ample supply of
threshing machinery, both new
and old, and devote the four days
to instructing those interested in
the construction and operation of
the machines so as to get the best
service from them.
All threshermen in the rice dis
trict who feel that they could de-
rive benefit from attending such
meeting are invited to be present.
Ii further information is desired,
write to the Extension Division,
