Unless Vice Chancellor Vivian M Lewis is pulled into the fight for the Republican nomination for Governor, former Assemblyman Goorge F. Wright looks like a winner of the State Treasurership. Tb*l seemed to be the opinion of those politicians who gathered at the State House. Wright himself is winning that he says “it is but the shooting." 1 cy. however, he takes reckoning of the fact that Vice Chancellor Lewis im the mine county of Passaic, with such obstacles to hli didtey as that fact may include, he appears to be “in right” with the “Daldavy” combination, and that means much, especially as the Passaic delegation in the Assembly walked right into it on the organisation elate, nils apparent evidence of preparedness on the part of the combination also looks tike’ a complete subjugation of the Stokes forces which were backing State Chairman Bugbec Tor the Job Treasurer Grosscup now holds down, but must sadly part with before the snow is done flying. The revival of the Lewis boom for overnor was one of the principal topics of the day's gathering. The Vice Chancellor, who was defetaed Woodrow Wilson Are years ago. has said on wndry occasions that he would not accfpt the nomination, that he is entirely pleased with his present pleasant occupation which nets $11,600 a year. $1,000 more than Is paid the ©overnor and Is practically a life position. His boomers, however, air unwilling to take “no” for an answer. «bcy ding to the belief that next year is to be a "Republican year,” that under ordinary cirenmstanews the Vice Chancellor might have been elected in 1010. that be Is the logical man. that he can bold all the warring forces of his party, that he can make a good campaign and In many pther ways help to win-the of

floe.

Many of those who keep sharp watch upon things beHeve the Vice Chancellor will finally be induced to reconsider his stand. A few nights ago a great dinner was given In Pas--aic county, at which nearly 600 per -<ms demanded that he run. Another dinner is to be given, presumably to Mayor-elect Amos Radcllffe. of Pater *on. and It Is planned again to demand the nomination of Lewis It is hoped to ultimately wear the Vice Chancel lor down to the point of giving con

rent.

The Republican members of the Senate held a conference and received the preliminary reports of the com mlttacs named to prepare bills to carry out the platform pledges. The work has progressed but little and It is not likely tbet either the Republicans or Democrats will be In any better shape for the opening of the session and 'or the facilitation of business than they have been at any previous open The Democratic Senators also a conference and the minority considered the subjects contained in the party platform Bills will be prepared and the usual minority fight will be made for their passage. Suite Comptroller Edward I. wards arrived at the State House after his trip to the (California fair. He 1- in excellent health. During his absence the story spread that upon his return he would announce his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for Governor. This was put up to him and he said that for the present there was nothing doing. Tve got a good Job." he said.

Even the ruins In the Mencos canyon In Colorado were explored as early as 1874. W. H. Jackson, who led tho government party, found there many small dwellings broken down by the weather. The next year he was followed by Prof. W. H. Holmes, later chief of the bureau of American ethnology, who drew attention to the remarkable rtone towers so character-

istic of the region.

But these discoveries attracted little attention bees use of their Inferiority to the better-known ruins of Arizona and New Mexico.

Many times it Is necessary to send to the commercial agents to foreign .countries. who have to go out and look for Information sought by a particular firm. A steady stream of letters to the bureau brings questions about foreign tariff rates tn various Central and South American countries, about railroad fares, economic conditions, markets for specific products and innumerable other subjects related to trade, especially the trade of the Latin republics to the south. American merchants are seeking to many ways to capture the attention of that section of the world on Its "shopping toure.” An Inquiry which involve* the study of railroad tares for various points to practically all the South American countries meant considerable r by the bureau, but it furnishes the information as promptly as possible, other correspondent desire* information about the varieties and q of fruit to be found among the products of South America and the lar locations of the varieties.
