Democrats and Republicans appear to
approve the naming Of Dwight w. Nor
row, present American Ambassador to
Mexico, as Senator from New Jersey.
He is expected to give attention to the
tasks Of the coming arms conference
and take his seat in the Senate later,
while temporary appointment is made
by the Governor Of New Jersey. Mr..
Morrow's success in business and di-
plomacy encourages a widespread feel
ing that he will be a valuable addition
to the Senate.
ut strikes u.s." remarks the Dayton
Daily News independent Democratic),
that Gov. Larson of New Jersey has
done remarkably wise and statesman
like thing in deciding to appoint AM
basSador Dwight Morrow to the United
States Senate. There Is more than one
reason why this Is so, the chief of which
is that New Jersey and the East need
men of the Morrow caliber in the Sen
ate. The United States is going
to be largely governed by the Senate.
It Is the part of wisdom for all interests
agricultural, industrial, labor-to see
that their ranks are raked for the big
gest men to put at that great task"
Senator Morrows should become q
name adding prestige and power to the
United States Senate" in the opinion
Of the Asheville Times independent
Democratic), which also comments:
THE former partner of the Morgan
Co. has manifested exceptional ability
for public service in the difficult field
OF this country's relationships with
Mexico. If in the past two years Mex
leo has made definite progress toward
sterilization Of its troubled political
affairs, domestic as well as foreign,
large portion of the credit must 60

His appointment, in the Judgment Of

statesman to the Senate at a time its
own prestige is none too high: a worker
when there is q mountain of accun1u-
lated work to be done" The News holds
that the New Jersey governor has gone
beyond the narrow confines of faction
alism to a national figure" and that
his action, besides being for the best
interests of the State and Nation, should
promote harmony among New Jersey
Republicans"
Taking up q point Of State politics,
the Newark Evening News Qndepend-
ent) declares: The most widely known
supporter of Joseph s. Frelinghuysen,
Jesse r. Salmon, charges Dwight w.
Morrow was tricked into becoming a
candidate for the Republican senatorial
nomination against Mr.. Frelinghuysen.
If there were any trickery, parties to 1t
must have been Gov. Larson, Senator
Kean, Senator Baird and Daniel e.
Pomeroy, national committeeman.
Trickery also would require a mental
density on the part Of Mr.. Morrow that
hardly seems probable. Ordinarily 1t
would not be necessary for the men
mentioned to deny deceit in making
arrangements that involve national and
international positions, but the high
standing of Mr.. Salmon in the Frelinr-
huysen councils requires that 1t be done.
Mr.. Frelinghuysen has announced he
welcomes a contest with Mr.. Morrow
because of the high plane on which It
would be conducted. The county chair
man Of Essex ought to help rather than
embarrass Mr.. Frelinghuysen in this
endeaVor."
