-Four years ago Democrats
Governor Robert 81 Meyner
rode TO victory in New
Jerseys gubernatorial cleo
ton on the issue Of scandals
IN the state Republican adj
ministration. plus the fact
that the COP. candidate for
Governor, Paul Troast, had
written Q letter asking favors
Of Gov. Dewey Of New
York for Joey Fay. q con-
victed labor extortionist do
ing time In Sing Sing. Gov.
Meyner Is seeking recollection
on November 5 In the face
Of Q Republican bafrage OF
scandal charges In his own
administration. None Of these
charges implicate the Cover
nor personally. but they are
aimed ct Democratic ofncials
under him. The principal
charge Is directed against the
insurance department and
has stirred up q lot Of criti-
cism. John n. CoOney. for
mer president Of an insurance
company, was indicted on O
charge Of embezzling $780,

surance Company and on

has charged again and again
that Gov. Meyner had known
about the insurance scandal
for "a months and done
nothing about 1t.

charges and Mr.. Forbes

tive who would bring upon
the State an income or q
sales tax, 1t win be q political
upset Of major proportions
II the Republicans should win
this contest. Gov. Meyner,
the first Democratic chief
executive Of the State In
years. has made himself solid
with q lot Of Republican
businessmen and at the same
time has held the support Of
labor leaders and much Of
the rank and file. Indeed. he

New Jersey is q Republican
State, and IL Mr.. Forbes loses
as Is now expected. it is the
Republicans who will be II
blame. He could be elected Il
the COP. turned out soiidly
to vote for him.
One reason for the belief
that Gov. Meyner has this
kind Of support is found IN
the outraged cries Of the
Republican managers that
they can raise no money foi

the obvious fact that the

active campaign. but most
Of the political observers and
politicians say he started
way back Of the Governor
and while he has made con-
siderable progress, has not
been able to 0Vertake him.
They could be wrong. for Mr..
Forbes has been closing the
gap. President Eisenhower
carried the State last Novem-
Der with Q lead Of 100000
votes over Adlai Stevenson,
and also the Republicans
made gains In the House
delegation. 81
Republicans Pressing
The Republicans are ex-
erting every influence they
can bring 10 bear TO put Mr..
Forbes across. Half q dozen
members Of the Eisenhower
cabinet have been in the
State speaking for him. and
only q few days ago Vice
President Nixon spent q
feverish day campaigning
with and for the O. o. p.
candidate. Republican man
ayers insist that Mr.. Nixon's
campaigning gave the neces-
sary shot in the arm to the
Forbes candidacy to put him
across. Anyway. 1t stirred
them to greater activity. Mr..
Nixon made the point that
the eyes of the country are
upon the Jersey guberna-
torial race; that a defeat
for Mr.. Forbes, added to the
loss Of the. Mccarthy Senate
seat in Wisconsin last sum-
mer, would be a terrific blow
TO Republican hopes and
morale for the 1858 political
campaign.
The Democrats, on the
other hand. have no delu-
sions about what will happen
II the Governor loses. DEM
ocratie prestige viii flop.
Also. Democratic forces will
be minus q bright young
presidential possibility in

the nomination almost three
years hence. II he is beaten
now by Mr.. Forbes, he will Be
q dead duck politically. The
Governor has a pleasing per-
sonality and makes friends
easily. He has played his
hand conservatiyely, hoping
to retain his Republican
support. Indeed. he is re-
garded in New Jersey as q
kind Of local Democratic

In q measure, he combines

Here's q nice chatty letter
from M. B. N. Of Arlington:
Please help me out Of my
confusion.
Il seem to have q yardful
Of female cardinals and very
few males. I wondered
whether the males ever
changed their color and be-
came less fiashy at certain
times Of the year.
IF they are all lady cardi-
nails, that still suits me. for ]
feel as you do about these
lovely birds. when you wrote:
No one can know how beau
tiful the female cardinal is
until he sees her close at
hand. Then he realizes that
here is one of the beauties
of the bird world. Not that
her flashy husband Is not
fine, too, in his handsome red
coat. The sweet loneliness Of
his mate. however. is Q fairer
thing, and one which remains
In the mind and heart Of the
watcher as q gift from the
Creator.
II cherish this quote as one
Of your finest.
ALSO the one In which you
ilken the hummer to a bird
out Of fairyland.'
please tell me the source
OF one poem YOU used to
quote often but which ! don't
recall seeing in your column
for some years.
II do not think I have the
words right. but you viii
know the one ! mean:
"'de loveth best, who
loveth most, all creatures
great and small
AT the risk Of trying your
patience, tell me where this
one, in your column. comes
from: ~
abide with me. Lord, for
it is toward evening, and the
day Is far spent Of this fret
full life.'
I'm closing. ! will send you
one from the Episcopal book
Of common prayer, that / be-
lieve to be one Of the most
beautiful ever written:
"'Oh Lord. support US all
the day long, until the shad-
ows lengthen and the evening
comes, and the busy world is
hushed, and the fever Of life
is over, and our work is done.
Then. in Thy mercy. grant
