LOCAL MAN FOR
STATE SENATOR

DR.. C. Il. Wagg, candidate for the
State Senate on the Democratic tic
ket, is making surprising gains in
his bid for that office. Not being
professional politician" it is ali
the more surprising that he has
made such inroads on the strength
that Senator Agans is supposed to
have. had. 1t is quite evident that
Democratic voters have largely been
dissatisfied with the weak represen-
tation they have had from Senator
Agans, and they were ready to flock
to man of DIR Wages calibre and
ability.
One Democrat who is stakeholder
in one of the Lambertville banks.
hit the nail on the head when he
said, "When Senator gets so busy
he can't answer letters from his
constituents, it's time to elect an
other man." Evidently Senator Agans
has felt so cocksure that he can't
condecend to waste his, time by ans
wering the letters that voters write
him. AS another man expressed IT,,
"He has had Hunterdon Democrats
by the tail with downhill pull so
long that he thinks he owns the
county"
There is a strong Democratic re-
presentation in Lambertville and the
southern end Of the county, but they
have never had the representation
such as has gone to the upper sec
tons. There has never been Sena-
tor from the lower end of the coun-
ty, and now Southern Hunterdon
Democrats have a chance to get the
representation that has long been
denied them.

fourteen years resident of Lam

at St. Francis Hospital, Trenton,
from stomach trouble, after an ILL
ness lasting since last December.
He had been a great sufferer, and
was twice at the hospital, last
operation being performed four days
before his death.
The funeral was held yesterday
afternoon at Centenary M. f.
Church, with the pastor, Rev. f. f.
Pursell, in charge of the services.

f. Holcombe. John NJ. Lambert,
James X. Masten, Werner Green, Ir-
vim Stout, James Whiteley, mem

Vile, Mercer County, SO years ago,
afterward living for many years in
Burlington County, where he served
on the Board of Freeholders for a
number of years and was an active
merchant in Bordentown for quar-
ter of a century. He was married to
Miss George Oliver, of Philadelphia,
who survives him. A sister, Mrs.
Wesley Gibbs, of Yardley, Pa, also
survives.
One of the organizers of the Lam
bertvllc Merchants Association, Mr..
Beatty was one ON it's hardest work
ers. actually securing by personal
solicitation, about one-half its entire
membership. He had served as vice
president for some time, and last
spring was elected president, but
his health had been so poor since
that he had never been able to pre-
side at "A meeting. He was a strong
and forceful personality, saying what
he believed, and believing what he
said, and was staunch supporter
of any movement with which he
was connected. He did great deal
of work for the Centenary Church
One of the last accomplishment was
the bringing to this city of the
District Stewards meeting of the
Methodist Church, highly success
full gathering held here last Spring
and for the first time in its history
He has many friends here who
will miss him. His place at the head
of the Merchants Association will
be taken by George b. Horner, the
vice president, for the remainder OF
the fiscal year.

"Wanderer of the Wasteland' is

deed, but good many people who
have seen both, absolutely agree.
Zane Grey's story is familiar to
many, but for those who have not
read the book we will say that it's
a story of man, who is driven
out into the desert by an unjust
persecution, to become wanderer
and an outcast The good that he
does for others gives him the eour-

fight his own fight and win it. There
is virtually every desirable fan in

And to top it all, there's tip-top

LONG DISTANCE
CURRENT COMING

In the near future, when custom
ers of The New Jersey Power &
Light Company switch on their cleo
trio service, they may be using cur
rent generated on the distant bank
of the Susquehanna River and car
ried to them instantly over several
hundred miles of wire.
Two hundred men are working to
rush completion of the new $4,-
100000 base load generating sta
ton built near Harrisburg, Pa, to
supply all parts of the Pennsylvan-
ia--New Jersey super power system,
of which The New Jersey Power
e. Light Company is an important
member. The new Susquehanna sta
tion is said to be the last word in
operating efficiency and economy. II
will generate electricity from pull
verified fuel, being convenient to
both hard and soft coal fields, and
will be provided with ample water
by the Susquehanna for steam con-
densing purposes. With an initial
capacity of 10000 kilowatts, the
plant is designed for ultimate ex-
passion to 100000 kilowatts.
This electricity can be used by
New Jersey power and lighting Gus
toners as result of development,
in recent years, of an extensive mod
ern system of sub-stations and high
tension transmission lines across
Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Con-
nection with this system provides a
large power reservoir from which
many thriving New Jersey towns
can draw for future industrial
growth, and also in case of emergen-
cy at the Dover station.
