HOW PAPAL INTERNUNCIO
At HAGUE WAS SELECTED

ROME, July 30.-"Priests and sol.
diers receive orders and must obey
them" were the words of the pope
in deciding the question who should
become papal ~internuncio at the
| Hague. You will be the right MAI
in the right place" Monsignor Or
senigo bowed, and the matter was
The monsignor had hesitated fol
conscientious reasons, not consider
ing himself fitted to deal with the
responsibilities of the position. But
the pontiff thought otherwise, and
thus disposed of a problem which
for some time had caused Specula-
ton in vatican circles.
Monsignor Orsenigo's life, for the
past twenty-five years has been de-
voted to the works of charity. To
be torn from the paths he had chos-
en- for himself made him hold back;
he was perpleXed by the possible
difficulties of a diplomatic post which
has acquired special importance in
view of the Russi;,I conference re-
Gently held at the Hgue.
Usually the representatives, abroad
of the Holy See are chosen from
among the young priests who have
attended the Academy of Noble &c
clesiatics in Rome. which has so apt
ly been called the nursery of ar-
dinals.' They are generally first
sent out as secretaries. and are la
ter promoted until they reach the
rank of Papal Nuncio. The pope had
met Monsignor Orsenigo in Milan
where he had elaborated with him
in a church paper called "St. Charles
of Borromeo." Plus \I noticed then
his great culture: his fluent knowl-
edge of most modern languages, and
the historical insight shown in some
books which Monsignor Orsenigo had
published. These qualities the pope
remembered when the question
of who to send to the Hague, and
the decision was quickly made.

PROHIBITION PARTY VS..
ANH-SALO0N LEAGUE

NEW YORK, Aug. 17-New vigor
is being infused into the almost
dormant Prohibition party with
these strangely coupled aims:
To elect dry congressman and dry
state legislators. irrespective of po-
litical parties-and to prevent the
Anti-Saloon League from running
prohibition"
This is the statement of John Nc
Kee, recently elected New York
state chairman of the Prohibition
| party.
Mckee is a Brooklyn real estate
man, seventy years old, a temper
J ance worker all lis life. He is also
treasurer of the Native Races Anti
Liquor Traffic Association and treas
urer of the Prohibition Trust Fund
which has S3S, 900 left in requests
to fight booze.
Plans Party Slate
The Prohibition party in this
state as in other states" says Chair
man Mckee. will put tickets into
the field at the coming election but
though the party machinery will be
preserved the tickets will contain
the names of dry candidates of the
major political parties.
I'm other words we are not fight
us u pui patty ll1htL 81 iIutI as
we are for dry officials. no matter
what their political Affiliations.
Our aim is not to set a fox to
guard the geese. The man who likes
beer isn't fit to enforce the dry law.
1t is the real prohibitionist. who
drinks dry as well as talks dry, who
ought to enforce it.
1--WE are also against the Anti
Saloon League. 1t may want pro-
hibition, but it wants to run it and
maintain its members in jobs as
censors of morals.
THE Anti-Saloon League is one of
the worst enemies of the Prohibition
party. 1t is a dominating, tyranni-
cal crowd, and it should be COM
PEELED to render a public account of
the money it collects and spends"
This, Mckee was told, was exactly
the proposal made by Governor Ed
ward /. Edwards in his campaign for
United States senator from New
Jersey.
II don't care If it is said Mckee,
Governor Edwards is a wet and l
am a dry-but l agree with him in
his opposition to the Anti-Saloon
League.
Drys Hold Numerical Power
1.-The big fight between the drys
and vets is on national ana state
legislators. The drys r in the ma
jority 2 to /. and we mean to hold
our own and increase our numbers
if possible.
1--WE are against light wines and
beer because the liquor traffic can
not be regualted-it must be abol-
ished. l think the wine and beer
agitation will die out in two or three
years and bootlegging will a
within ten years. Only death can
cur the old drunkard.
"All this trouble and controversy
and enforcement failure and break
ing of the law are due to the fact
that the eighteenth amendment was
not properly written.
THE amendment says 'intoxicat-
ing liquor. If it had said alcoholic
we would now have prohibit
ton in fact instead of theory. We
shall have it eventually, and without
changing the amendment, too. The
biggest force in bringing it will be
the Prohibition party, not the Anti
League"
Mckee predicts the return to con-
gress of Randall of California in the
next election, and the victory of at
two additional dry congress-
men in Ohio, as well as some in
other states.

HACKETT OUT;
FAV0RS CHASE
Republican MayoraIty Candi-
date in So. Amboy Springs
Surprise

SOUTH AMBOY. Aug. IT.
James H. Hackett, who a few days
ago said he was certainly a candi-
date COR mayor of the city and who
outlined what was considered an ex-
cellent platform. sprang a surprise
at the Republican Club meeting last
night when he ore into bits his
petition containing hundreds of sig
natures and said he was out of the
race in order to give way to Daniel
G. Chase. ex-senator and candidate
for mayor running independently.
Mr.. Hackett's petitions had been in
circulation for one day only.
No full explanation of Mr..
Hackett's action was forthcoming
until this morning, but today's
statement has given rise to consid-
cradle speculation here. Political
forecasts have been upset entirely.
"Now that for a certainty Mr..
Chase will run for the office of
chief executive" Mr.. Hackett said,
Il feel that it would be inconsistent
with my lifelong teachings thdt
South Amboy needs a business ad-
ministration To continue in the
race opposing a man like Mr.. Chase,
whom l believe possesses a para
mount knowledge of business traits
that this city needs to take her out
OF the slump into which she has
been pushed. would flout my own
convictions"
Questioning ELECTED a further
statement:
Yes. l believe l am making a sac
rifice in view of the fact that so
many men and women have hasten
ed to sign my petition. but with it
all in the interests of the city / am
glad to do it. l will say that | am
out for Chase regardless of party
feeling, and will do all in my power
10 have him placed as head of the
city. l believe there should be no
opposition to Mr.. Chase at the fall
election. We want to get away fl om
politics. There has been too much
of it used instead of real business
methods.
Factions will never agree and
when the minority proposes what is
considered the best thing for the
city the majority at once over rules,
but generally, several weeks later,
brings up the self same proposition
under a different ca ption.
AS soon as the people wake up
to the fact that South Amboy needs
4 rejuvenation in Its business meth
DDS, then will South Amboy start on
the upward climb. Again | say that
there should be no opposition Il Mr.,
Chase and / am inclined to feel that
that there will be little"
The Disbrow, Hackett, and Kvist
ward trio of some importance
made things warm at last nights
meeting when a discussion arose Mr..
candidacy for mayor. Mr..
Disbrow has already announced his
entrance into the race and when the
question was put by Mr.. Hackett as
TO whether he had changed his mind
Mr.. Disbrow is quoted as making
a hot retort without answering the
question.
The hot reply lit the smouldering
.ssNgxGSYd the, ext few minutes are
said to have resulted in the revela-
lion OF large sections of each mans
political history. Personalities were
INDUCED in, it is reported, and ar
gument ran fast and furious for
time before repeated appeals
rom the chair succeeded in restor-
ng order.
