Even when he ran for Governor in
1884. the year Of the big Democratic
landslides, he won under the Repub-
lican banner with an 5000 majority
when every index pointed to defeat by
100000.
Ever since he displayed six years
ago his desire to become Governor he
has been ruthlessly bounded and
ridiculed by his enemies, but steadily
he grew stronger and stronger. Hal"
Hoffman knows a secret. Treat peo-
pie right" says he. "and they're your
friends"
Answers All Mail.
Right now, when public journals
are saying nasty things about guber-
material interference" with the ma
chinery of justice, Gov. Hoffman Is
making political hay.
Neither fan mail nor pan mail
winds up in Hoffman's waste basket.
Every letter of the thousands received
in his Office is answered by the Gov
ernor. Maybe he didn't dictate the
answer, but this much is certain: He
read the reply, and the signature at
the bottom is his.
Only a few hundred letters were
received each day until the nocturnal
visit, but now they have grown tre-
| mendously and come from all over
the country.
"Hi-De-Ho" Campaign.
The Governor is man of personal
following-a following not confined to
his home State. Broadway and Holly
wood have come to his assistance
many a time. For year before he
became candidate for Governor high
priced stars came in droves to perform
at his Saturday shindigs" in local
ball room, with no ticket-takers at the
doors. The performers, it was said,
received nothing-and wanted moth
ing. Hal" Hoffman, they boasted, was
their friend. And when they appeared
on New Jersey stages they often
dropped subtle boosts for Hal" His
enemies called it the hide hi de- no
campaign"
A man of swift energy, he often
stays up all night. Rarely does he ap-
pear at his desk-one or another
later than 7:30 in the morning. Per-
sons who know him well say he eats
more church suppers than any man
in New Jersey. He continually fits
from one public gathering to another
defending the sales tax he won after
six months fight, only to see it re-
pealed
r,,t &,,k~ A,Yvn:usc% ro t;ru
During the past year he has spread
out over the country, flying from one
convention to another He stands high
in the circles of World War veterans
and in his out-of-State speeches he
tut-tuts the Roosevelt administration.
Back to the Constitution" is the gist |
of his national platform so far.
Once regarded as one of New Jer- |
sey's handsomest men, the Governor
has grown portly and shows signs of
wear the past five years. He never
exercises. When he wants to relax he
just sits and smokes long cigars. His |
sense Of humor Is well known. One of |
his favorite tricks is to pull a black
typewriter brush out of his desk and
place it under his nose, let his hair
fall over his forehead like Adolf Hit
ler's and thrust a hand forward in
Nazi salute.
Not long ago stranger, wishing
to get quick audience with the Gov
ernor by pretending to be a personal
friend, approached the Governor him.
self, without knowing it, and asked
where's Harold?"
(Which would you prefer" queried
the Governor, chocolate or vanilla?"
The Governor has q colored aide
named Harold.

WORK At BRIDGE
Reduction of Triangular
Park for Taft Span
Traffic Opposed.

Workmen OF the District Highway
Department today proceeded with the
widening and repaving Of the road
way across Taft Bridge while officials
of the National Capital Parks Office
considered protests from number of
persons over reduction of the size of
q park triangle on the side OF Con-
necticut avenue at the southern edge
Of the bridge.
A narrow strip Of park land in the
street south Of the bridge is to be
narrowed feet on each side and
streamlined to make more room for
trafic. This project has been ap-
proved by the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission. The COM
mission some years ago favored the
complete elimination of this strip, but
the District Commissioners wanted
the strip to remain to segregate traffic.
This land is owned by the District.
In the case of the triangle at
Kalorama road and Connecticut
avenue opposite Ashmead place 1t is
planned to knock off 10 feet of the
parkway, to widen the street to SO
feet.
The triangle comes under the Ma
tional Capital Parks. While waiting
for action on narrowing it, the Dis
trict is taking feet of a s-foot side
walk. which it owns. to widen the
street by 4 feet.

NEW CHAIN BRIDGE
TO HAVE ; LANES,
MEETING IS TOLD
Sultan Revises Plans for
Span After Study of
Budget Hearings.
WORK ON CONSTRUCTION
TO START NEXT MARCH
Authorized Cost Of $350,000 Is
Held Sufficient for Increased
Width of Structure.

The new Chain Bridge, to be erected
over the Potomac on the piers of the
old span, will provide for three lanes
of traffic instead CT merely two, ac-
cording to plans announced today by
Engineer Commissioner Dan I. Sultan.
Col. Sultan revised tentative schemes
for the new structure today as re-
suit Of questions raised at a conference
Yesterday between the Commissioners
and spokesmen for civic interests OF
the District and Virginia. He said:
This much is certain: We will
build a bridge to the full width posi-
BILE under the authorized cost OF
$3.50, 900 and the fact the new struc-
ture must be built on the existing
piers. This will mean approximately
20 feet. After again reading hearings
on the 1887 budget estimates, I find
we gave congressional committees the
understanding that the new bridge
would provide three lanes of traffic.
We will carry out that understand
ing unless something insurmountable
arises as we get down to details.
do not expect that"
Not Debated at Length.
The point was not debated at length
at the conference. Several attending
the meeting said they had understood
three lanes were to be provided. Col.
Sultan agreed with them today after
studying testimony given by officials
before congressional committees.
Col. Sultan estimated the bridge
would have to be closed next year for
about six months while the new span
is built. He said work probably would
not be started until March, so there
would be no halting Of the work mid
way. For the present fiscal year
there is available $250,000. The re-
naming 100000 is to be considered
at the next session of Congress. The
start of construction therefore Is to
be delayed so the work may be con-
tinued without a break to await for
the additional money needed.
It was generally agreed that be-
cause of the limited size Of appropri-
alton the questions of high level or
monumental type of bridge were elm
mated. II costly type of high-level
span is to be erected, the Commis-
sioners explained, it should be located
much farther north, beyond the Dis.
trict line, since one of its major pur-
poses would be that of a Washington
bypass.
Needed for Local Service.
A replacement of Chain Bridge on
its present site will continue to be
needed to provide for local service
needs, the group was told by Capt.
H. c. Whitehurst, director Of high.
ways.
General agreement on this subject
followed a statement by Representa-
tive Howard Smith of Virginia that
interested leaders had understood all
along that there was present need
for useful bridge and that the plan
for an ornamental high-level span
should have to await later action.
Frank Lyon of Mclean, Va, urged
that the speed limit across the new
bridge be raised. He declared a Is
mile speed limit would be ridiculous"
District officials indicated the speed
limit would be the same SIS for District
| streets.

Cattle Guarded
From Vegetation
Poisoned by Heat
u. S. Yarns against Ger
tain Green Crops For.
merly Good Pasturing.

BY the Associated Press.
A warning that drought converts
certain green vegetation into poison
deadly to animals was issued today
by the Department of Agriculture.
Experts said that live stock in
drought areas must be kept out of
the drought-resisting green fields of
Sudan grass, cane or any kind Of
grain sorghum.
In ordinary years these green crops
are safe for pasture, but when their
growth is stunted by dry weather,
deadly doses of acids-hydrocyanic or
pruSSic-reSult.
It was explained that when drought
interferes with the growth of these
plants a chemical reaction results.
Two harmless substances. a glucoside
and an engine, react to form the
poison.
These same crops are safe for feed
ing when they have been cut and
cured, experts said.
Green tops Of potatoes, green and
sprouting potatoes, green tomato
vines and some other plants also are
Likely 10 b poisonous. It was said,
