amount Of coal mined in this state
has been less by more than 5000
600 tons than the tonnage of the

Haunted Bed Room"
Today at Royal Theatre

Do you believe in ghosts? OF course
not, neither did Betsy Thorne. but If
you saw a weird figure moving about
in the dim light of a dilapidated
graveyard, would o have the cour-
age to try to solve the mystery?
That was the task assigned her as
a girl reporter in the latest Thomas
II. Ince p~hotoplay, The Haunted
Bedroom" starring Enid Bennett,
which comes as a Paramount attrac-
ton to the Royal Theatre for today
anly.
1t was a mystery a detective could
MT ferret out; it baffled a materials
tic doctor; it staggered the reasoning
of the owner of the property, and 1t
surely was too much for the old col
ored servant.
But the womans wit of Betsy Thorne
tore away the veil of mystery and
made the m~eanderings of a ghost HOOK
as reasonable as syrup on your cakes
for breakfast.
Charming Enid Bennett plays the
part of a Betsy in this story from the
pen of c. Gardner Sullivan. She Is
supported by an unusually capable
cast, including Dorcas Mathews. Jack
Nelson, William Conklin. Harry Arch
er, Otto Hoffman and Lloyd hughes.

TRENTON, oct. 27:-The maj
drive in the present political cam

opening of the last week Of the con-
test. In the clOseness of the tght
for governor the battle for control OF
the next legislature which, on JOINT
ballot, will ave the selection Of a
state comptroller for three years at
$4,000 a year is being overshadowed.
In the last session the Republican
majority on joint ballot was eight,
after the retirement of Senator Rich
ards, Republican, Of Atlantic, and
nine votes do not provide a very
comfortable margin. They held the
senate by a good majority, but the
House of Assembly vas tied, which
cut down the Republican strength
when the two houses met in joint
session.
Indications at this writing are that
the Republicans viii retain their

Of the legislature the Republicans

Vivian Martins latest starring We
hicIe, 'The Home Town Girl" is the
big attraction at the Crescent theatre
today and will be retained for tomor-
row.. The charming star offers one
of the most delightful characterize
tons ever contributed to the screen
in this charming tale of New England
life.
Nell Fanshawe, a little belle in an
old New England town, has many
s~uitors, among whom are John Stan
ley and Frank Willis. She favors
Stanley, but as he is only a soda clerk
in a drug store, their speedy mar
riage is out of the question. Inspired
by the girl. John goes to New York
to get a better job, she promising to
wait for him. John obtains work at
Jellaby &c Company, antique dealers.
Steve Rafting, q ne'er-do-Well en-
ploye, is discharged. John makes a
$500 sale and Steve, envious of John,
entices him into a poker game n
John loses the money. Afraid to face
Mr.. Jellaby, he writes him that his
pocket had been picked and h a he
won't return until he pays back all
the money. A private detective, hired
by Jellaby, goes to the small town to
inquire about John. Nell hears the
news and goes to New York TO find
John. She Is employed by Mr.. Jella-
by, who tells her that John Is send
ing a little money each week without
disclosing his whereabouts. Nell
catches Nan Powderly reading q let
ter with money from John and pro-
ceeds to give her q calling down. Nell
locates John in a drug store and he
confesses how he lost the money.
She persuades him to go to Jellaby
and confess everything. WhereuDOn
Jellaby forgives him.

Mr.. Wight is ~strenuously opposed to
overburdening the statute books OF

legislation of all kinds. He believes in
enactment only of laws that will bene-

at Trenton supports this assertion.
The Perth Amboy candidate worked

From the foregoing, the character

In the tenements while her father is

the opinion of political observers, will
again be very close in h matter or
political balance. In the 1918 seS-
sion there were thirty Republicans
and thirty Democrats. Indications
seem to point to the election of a
Democratic delegation from Essex
again, which would very materially go
to swell the Democratic strength. The
Democratic Assemblymen in Essex are
running again on the wet" issue
which elected them last year and
they expect to repeat the trick. The
Republican Assembly slate is some
what mixed. A portion of the ticket
is dry" and the rest Is wet the re-
suit of the recent primaries, and it is
thought here that the entire twelve
may go down before the united Demo-
cratic opposition. James r. Nugent is
managing the Democratic campaign
for the Assembly ticket in Essex as
he did successfully in 1913.
Mr.. Bugbee's term as State Comp
troller ends next January. If he is
elected Governor, he, of course, will
not be a candidate for reelection to
the Comptrollership. If he is defeat

guided very much by which party has
