the advantage of the ladies' influence
at the time the ticket was made up.
but hoped that they would assist in
the selection of candidates text year.

Party had always been more atter-
tive to the Women's Club than had
the Democrats. In several instances
he pointed out where the Republic
cans were the more progressive in
civic affairs.
Mr.. Tremble of Asbury Park, spoke
next. He also had to leave for Par
lin. Mr.. Tremble stated that he was
of the opinion that New Jersey would

taught in all the schools of the coun-

clared that everything looked fine
and that little or no trouble would
be experienced in putting over the
ticket.
When called upon Mr.. Hackett
declared hat he was up against a
hard proposition. "Mr. Dey made
me- and now the people of South
Amboy are saying that he is going
to sell out" declared MIR. Hackett
Hackett declared that Mr.. Dey wa.
too good a friend to do hat and was
confident of his support. Mr.. Hac.
kett stated that when he accepted
the nomination he had only the mer
to contend with. 1T looked gooC
for me at that time and now with
the women in the field they say
they're not going to support me or
account of my looks" He urged
the adoption of the bonus referen,
dunn.
Mr.. Leonard. candidate for coun,
Gil, stated that he had little to sa,

UTILITY BOARD ACTION
Off UNTIL NOV. 8

lo1S ~
court there is a doubt of the gov
ernor's right to remove the ola
board. The Pritchard decision in
volved the action of a governor in
removing police commissioners In
Jersey City, Chief Justice Beasley
held that the executive had no au-
thority to exercise such a judicial
power as was then exercised, be-
cause the legislature had not dele
gated to his office.
The marked difference between
the Pritchard case and the present
situation is that the legislature by
the public utility act of 1911 has del
egated to the Office of governor the
right to remove the board after
hearing and proof of it's incompet-
ency.
Until the courts and the attorney
general, therefore, have disposed of
the legal question involved, the SEN
ate. at least the Republican major
ity does not propose to take any
steps toward confirmation of the five
new commissioners named by Gov
ernor Edwards. Messrs. Hamill,
Whittemore. Quinn, Cleveland and
Johnson. The Senate and House
both meet again on Nov. s, a week
after the coming election, when it is
expected the question of the gov
ernor's right in the premises will
have been sufficiently determined TO
take up the question passing upon
the eligibility of the new board.
Senator Brown. Democratic lead
err, pointed out yesterday to the Re-
publicans that they could immedi-
ately confirm Hamill. as he has been
named 20 fill the u~nexpired term of
Alfred S. March. of New Brunswick,
who resigned early this year.
The Senate yesterday gave Cum
berland county a new judge when il
unanimously confirmed the appoint
ment by the governor of William J.
Losue. unanimously. He is a Demo
rat and lives at Bridgeton. and is
nov a member of the Fish and
Game Commission.
Senator Simpson, of Hudson
wanted the Senate to take up the
acute election board situation in his
county. where he says 1000 voters
are registered for Nov. in some dis,
tricts. No action could be taken OF
cause the Senate was convened only
for the receiving of the governors
nominations. Simpson stated thai
Governor Edwards had declared tina
if convinced that the situation need.
&c attention he would deal with il
later on. This was taken to NEAR
he would call a special session be.

SAYS HARDING

By The Assc ciated Press.
JASCKSON, O., oct. 20-Demo-
cratic 'phrase-making" and Itepub-
lican performance were c~ontrasted
by Senator Harding in a speech laud-
ing the protective tariff policy as an
example of Republican accomplish
ment.
1.-THE truth is" he said. that with
all the progressive tongues and all
tho literary idealism of our opponent
it is still the Republican party not
only as to tariff protection. but as to
every other kind of protection which
stands as the safeguard of America.
1t is a simple matter to make
phrases: il is much more difficult to
perform. but it is on their respec-
tive records is phrase makers and
as performers that the Democratic
forces of this campaign and the Re-
publican party oppose each other

OUTLINES SANE POLICY
FOR HIGHWAY BOARD

tCuUtAHuCU HUN pdSS ~
Your excellency has been criti-
cised for removing the former state
Highway Commission by IN of the
great political parties Of our coun-
try, and your right to do so has
been questioned. 1t follows that IL
you had no right to do so. that any
occupying the office is practical
ly a receiver of stolen goods. l have
always voted the ticket of that party
for more than half a century, and L
am one of those men who have al
way thought that the acts of the
party were nearly always right. The
law establishing the State Highway
Commission was dictated and ap-
proved by a Republican governor,
and passed by a Republican House
of Assembly and a Republican sem
ate, and it contains the clear pro-
vision giving the governor the sum-
mary right to remove the members
of the commission at his Will. L
supposed that the provision was in
serted for some wise purpose, and
so did not hesitate to accept the
office. l did not suppose that 1t was
a power that was meant to be ex-
ercised only by a Republican gov
ernor. OF course, you will under
stand why l do not wish TO hold an
office that my W party thinks l
have no right to hold"
Mr.. Young, who is seventy-one,
served in the assembly in 1882 and
1888. He is now completing his
second term of another period of
service in the same body. LAS your
excellency is aware" he states in
conclusion, the members of the
State Highway Commission receive
no compensation for their services,
save what is called expenses, and
have not so far and do not intend
to present any bill for the same,
and, therefore, the only reward
awaiting me or my colleagues Is
honor. / a assure your e~xcellency
that l can see no honor awaiting me
for any service / can render the
state under the inadequate prov:-
sions of the present laws"

An unsuccessful attempt was made
to rob the First National Bank at
Cripple Creek early last Sunday morn
ing, says the Tibes-Record of that
city. Mrs. Briggs, who lives above
the bank, was awakened at about 8
o'clock in the morning by a noise al
the back door of the bank. She i'm
mediately arose and in opening her
door evidently frightened the would
be robbers away. Mrs. Briggs aroused
the night men at the city fire de-
partment, who investigated. A broken
key was found al the back door OF
the bank. and 1t is quite evident that
but for the action of Mrs. Briggs and
the f3remen the robbers may have ef-
fected an entrance. The robbers ran
down the alley in back Of the bank.
and It is supposed they made their
getaway in an automobile which was
heard to start Immediately after the
alarm.
