King Repeats Promise to Dust
Jersey Utility Board.

Warren C. King. who wants to win
the Republican nomination for Governor
in New Jersey on Tuesday. has Nit-
Grated his promises to remove present
members Of the Board of Public Utility
Commissioners in his State If he is
elected. He declared before his cam
paign league in the Robert Treat Hotel
in Newark last night that he was con-
fident of nomination, election and the
overwhelming success of the entire Re-
publican ticket in November. He said
in part:
1.-THE people of New Jersey during the
past week have had the opportunity of
actual experience with the new trolley
zone system, complacently acquiesced in
by the Board of Public Utility Commits
sioners at the instance of the Public
Service Corporation. The system. with
Its extortionate rates and attendant in
conveniences to the public, is the climax
OF a long series of outrageous practices
on the part OF the corporation affecting
every man, woman and child in the
State OF New Jersey and which the
Board of Public Utility Commissioners
has either been powerless to prevent or
has itself engendered."
