There was some difficulty in get
ting passed the Republican measure
by Mr.. Evans, of Passaic, permitting
the appointment of county attend
ance officers by the commissioners of
education, on recommendation of
county school superintendents. AS

a bill to create twenty-one more

lie poinsec to experience in Nor
ris and Monmouth counties. where
the plan of an attendance officer has
beer triad. declaring that in those
W counties the attendance is about
the worst in the state. Mr.. Evans,
speaking fer his bill, declared that
it was part of the party platform,
and fad lie backing of the State
Board of Education and educators
generally.
A cracl. at the swarm of lobbyists
who have Teen bssieging members

| Will Power After All
Republican machinery. so far as
it affects the House of Assembly.
| at least has worked to perfection on
| all the big things thus far put across.
Not a single Republican assembly,
man presumed to vote for an inves-
tigation into the alleged "sneakinS
in" of three bills, including the
bridge and tunnel commission GUST
err, after the expiration of the time
limit for new bills. and when the
House wasn't even in session.
But, apparently, desiring to prove
themselves endowed with will power
| just the same as the big boys who
are on the inside of party politics,
a number yesterday decided to
kick over the traces on no less an
important bill than that of Mr.. Pier
son, of Union. which would ope the
woodcock season on November
10th hereafter.
Headed by Mr.. Littell, Republi-
: can. of Sussex, they got a few Dem
ocrats to make up the requisite fir
teen members. and filed their de-
mand hat the woodcoclk bill be re-
ported out by the fish and game
committee. where, it is supposed.
they feared it might die. The bill
must o be reported out.
The moral of this little tale is
grease all the wheels, even the lit
tie ones, to avoid friction
