worked for four years however
since he was fifteen-he's sure of his
three squares every day. And then
he has $40 or $12 a week coming in

Fact is, none around the cafeteria,
except the bookkeeper, remembered

But down in Gals" savings ac-

STEVENS AND
CASE PROBLEM
Difficult to Figure What Ar
gument Democrats Can
Make Against Them

TRENTON, Aug. SOTO those
who followed the intracacies and
various turns in tie fight which Gov
ernor Silzer waged in the last legis-
lature for new State Highway
Commission untrammelled in its
political and patent paving connec-
tions it is difficult to figure what
kind of an argument the Democratic
managers, in their fight to return
lawmakers of their own party for
the 1929 session, can make against
the reelection of State Senators
William A. Stevens of Monmouth,
and Clarence L. Case, of Somerset.
Probably more than any two other
men in the last legislature, in either
party and in either house, these
Republican members played a lead
ing pavt in helping the governor to
win that contest The stake was
thousands of dollars, perhaps run
ming into million or more dollars,
in money of the people of New Jer-
sey and the question was getting a
board of road officials who would
administer those road funds in the
most economical manner for the
taxpayers.
the fight charged that approximate
ly million in road funds had been
wasted by the board which he oust-
ed. With $40,000,000 to be spent
under the approved bond issue, Mr..
Silzer insisted on set of new COM
missioners who would pick the best
pavements for the roads at the
cheapest prices. Every taxpayer
was Interested in the outcome of the
fight for the new board.
A band of Republican senators,
plus the Democratic minority, final
ly pushed through the Silzer pro-
gram OF a new board of four. In
that band there stood out Stevens
and Case. First Stevens because he
was the Republican floor leader in
the senate and stood between two
fires. Nine of his own party col
leagues were against the governor
and in the final show down eight of
the majority voted to confirm his
appointees. There were seventeen
Republican senators in all. Thus
with his majority split wide open the
leader from Monmouth was con-
fronted with an unusual situation.
The night Governor Silzer remov-
ed the Democratic highway board
Stevens, accompanied by commit
tee of the senate Republicans went
10 the Executive offices and pledged
themselves to support his program
for a new road deal. They realized
the governor had outflanked them.
He--a Democrat-had removed a
powerful state board controlled by
members of his own party while a
Republican senate and House had
been sleeping on the job.
Stevens and his committee was
sent from the conference of senate
Republican members to pledge their
support to the program for a new
highway commission which would
operate free from any influences.
! They did that that night, not so
much out of admiration for the
Democrat who occupied the exeeu-
tive chair, but because they real
lied that 1t was necessary to do
something, and do it quick. to show

run for reelection this year, Pierson
OF Union, for instance, and possibly
Parry, of Essex, but the actions of
the voters of Monmouth and Somer-
set counties on the candidates. of
the two leading Republican figures
in support of the Democratic gov
ernor last winter will likely create
the greatest interest and present a
most absorbing study in govern
ment at the coming election.
Senator Case, of Somerset, is
staunch Republican. 1t would be
harder to find a stronger one in or
out of the legislature in this state.
Yet he too was wheel-horse in the
highway battle of last winter. While
Case loves his party and believes in
its mission, he is more interested in
serving not only his own constitu-
ents but the entire electorate of this
state. So he too, seeing the inexor-
able logic of the Silzer position in
this controversy, and having no
sympathy with that group of Re-
publican leaders who wanted to
rip" the power of appointing the
new road commission out of the
hands of the governor, took his
stand alongside of Stevens.
When it is recalled that Case had
been senate Republican leader and
senate president himself in the past
as the choice of the organization and
had been regarded as part and par
eel of the Edge group of senators,
his position in the legislature on the
road question may be more fully ap-
preciated. Case had been in the
senate six years practically when
this issue arose and for a Republican
of this type to align himself with
the Democratic governor was an ad-
vance indeed.
United States Senator Edge took
hand in the situation in an en-
deavor to wean the group of inde-
pendents led by Stevens and Case
away from the stand they had taken.
How Edge failed to move Case is an
interesting incident of the contro-
versy. AS has been stated before.
the Somerset senator was always an
organization man from the time he
came to the senate and was clearly
affiliated with the Edge group in
that body. In fact, in the deadlock
in the senate Republican caucus
prior to the session of 1919 he be-
came the choice of the Edge sena-
tors for president of that body as
against William N. Runyon. who was
the candidate of the independent
group. Finally they drew lots and
Runyon won the prize.
Yet despite his organization pre-
dictions, as indicated in his past al
liances, the member from Somerset
stood out for the bipartisan road
board, as advocated by the Demo-
cratic governor and refused to har-
ken to the desires of his old leader,
Edge, when the latter came to Tren-
ton one Monday night last winter 10
mix in the fight.
Senator Case has one of the best
minds in the ranks of New Jersey
Republicans. He and Stevens cor
rectly reflected the views of the Re-
publican voters in the highway bat
tie last winter. Some people have
taken the view that as leader of the
majority which controlled the last
legislature the Monmouth man viol-
ated his trust as spokesman for the
party in the senate by lining UP with
the Democratic governor. They have
held that the Republicans to the,
greater number in both houses were
against his stand and he should
have respected that sentiment.
