Protestant churches and Sunday
school organizations here. The GEN.

workers was held in the Presbyterian
chapel.
The meeting of workers In the
chaple was addressed by u DIR. Pattcr-
son of New York City. DR.. Patter-
son represented the Inter-church
World Movement and instructed the
canvassers how to make out the CEN
sus cards and outlined the work to be
done during the week in order to
make the cancassers successful.
The committee in charge of the cen
sus have adopted the map Of the city
used during the war in the campaign
for the conservation of food. This map
has the city divided into blocks and
the canvassers have each been gwen
one block as their territory. 1t Is estl-
mated that with the canvassers fol-
lowing the territory as mapped out

other cities in this district will follow
the action being taken here within a
very short space of time.
The workers are we'll organized and

urged to finish the canvass in thelr
districts as soon as possible. The rec
ords which are obtained will be filed
away at either the Public Library OF
the Y. M. c. A, and will be open al
all times to the pastors and represen-
tatives of the various protestant
churches OF the city for personal worh
or anything of interest which may
| take place In church life.
| During the canvass the workers
will obtain the names of each mem.
ber in all protestant families, ane
whether or not they have any church
or Sunday school affiliation and II sc
what church they attend. Those WHIT
have no church affiliation Will be re

CANDIDATES. END
STATE CAMPAIGN
All Factions Express Conf
dence Of Success
By Special Correspondent.


TRENTON, Sept. 22:-Governor
Runyon today summarized his views
of the primary outlook as follows: II
will be nominated. There is no mis-
taking the attitude of the Republi-
cans of the state, many thousand OF
whom have been privileged to ad-
dress and meet during the past few
weeks. From all counties have re-
ceived most encouraging reports. and
the friendly receptions which have
been given to me in all, OF them
merely bear out the statements of my
supporter. My campaign in all but a
few counties has been in the hands
of leading citizens of the counties,
many Of them men who have here
tofore not taken an active part IN
politics.
During the past week I have been
in eleven counties in all parts of the
state and everywhere sentiment
seems to be the same.
1.-THE machine politicians, or at
least large majority of them, are
supporting one of my opponents. The
people of the state are not being led
by those men, but are doing their
own thinking. I expect to carry Es-
sex, Passaic, Union, Morris, Somer-
set, Monmouth, Ocean, Cape May,
Burlington, Cumberland and Hunter
don counties and probably Hudson
where in the last few days represen-
tatives of all but the Garven faction
have assured me that I will have
their support. The split between
two of my opponents in Atlantic and
Camden counties coupled with the
vote that will get elsewhere assures
me substantial vote In the rest OF
the state.
'srhe campaign has been conduct
ed without any spectacular features
on our part. 1 have had very small
organization, only three men, al
volunteers in handling the statewide
campaign. We have had but two
paid clerks, one of them for only
two weeks. We have had no financial
support from any so-called interests
who would look for favors later. Not
a promise has been made by me to
q single man of a single office. All

the arsenal. But only few minutes
ahead of the trolley the jitneys reach
ed the camp loaded to the gunwale,
with every available inch packed with
humanity. Only the roofs of the Jlt-
neys were not filled, it seemed.
According to guards at the arsenal
gates the explanation of the sudden
turn in favor of the jitneys lies in the
fact that both lines carry the passen-
gers at a lower rate than the Public
Service. The trolley fares are now Il
cents from New Brunswick and 19
cents from Perth Amboy, one of the
guards said, while the jitney fares
are only 10 cents from New Bruins
wick and 15 cents from Perth Amboy
1t would seem that the company
efforts to increase it's revenue by the
zone system gave the jitneys an OPP
portunity to enter into competition
that would have been obtained In nc
other way. The old trolley fares were
7 and IA cents, both cheaper than
the present jitney rates. But the In
creases sought was sufficient to allow
the jitnies to squeeze in between
and get the passengers at a margin OF
profit 2
