VOTERS SHOW APATHY. Small Rtfllrtratlon M»Kt. R.publl can Leader, of New Jereey Unaaejr. rrom N. Y. Tribune Correepoodent. TTenlon. N. J, Oct 10—There li much alarm emons the Republican poUUdana in many parte of the State ever the lack of Interest manlfeetcd by the voters In the oomln* election, and the foetlna la (enera! that If th> remalnlnt re*Utratlon days do no show a large Increase In the nun. • of rotate who want td jo to vtir pot. cn the first Tuesday in .November some labetantial gains will be made by the Democrats While there la apparently Uttlc doubt that the nest Legislature will be Republican, many things depen., on the slse of the majority, for If It la overwhelming the bosses hope u enact some unpopular pieces of legts 1st!on which could not be lorceU through If the majority la email. A* a matter of fact, the bosses hare all been suffering from swelled head, since the primary eiectioon and banbeen talking of repealing all the di rect primary laws. Including the Hll lery law. which provide* that the Republican or Democratic voters may designate at the party primaries their choice for United States Senator, which has never yet hsd a trial. The ClTtl Service law has Uao hurt the tender corns of these patrlots.and If this measure is not declared unconstitutional by the Court of Errors and Appeals shortly, efforts will be made to repeal it, providing there art enough votes to override the wishes of the more independent members. Of course, in the carrying out their plans U la essential that the majority leaders In both houses be who will ask no questions, but aim plydo as they are told. While the leader In the house last y<-sr was all they could desire, they had conslderabb difficulty with the majority leader of the Senate, who had a pretty strong mind of his own. and they are going to take do chances at the coming sesalou. Under all the rules of precedence- Senator Ernest R. Ackerman, of Union County, should be the next Republican leader of the Sedate. In the closing days of the last Legislature, when Senator Frellnghuysen was unanimously elected to the presidency of the upper house, following the resignation of Senator Robbins, ‘ the Union County Senator was chosen to lead the Republicans, which It was understood carried with It the leadership of the Republicans at the coming

session.

Soon after the primaries, however, the bosses made up their minds that a man of Senator Ackerman's known independence would never do for the place, because they felt sure that he would not even vole for, much leaa aland for, some of the things they purpose doing, and they decided to eliminate him. In casting about for some one who would suit them they offered the place to two or three Senators, who refused K, and finally decided that they had found their man in Harry Leavitt, of Mercer, who. when not attending to bit legislative duties. Is a cashier In ex-Governor Bloke's bank at Trenton. Senator Ackerman has had tour years experience In the upper house, while Leandtt has Just finished his second year, but (hat made little difference; and eo. if ail goes well with the bosses. Senator Leavitt wlQ be the Republican leader for the next Senate. Mr. Ackerman was reelected to the Senate last year by the largest majority ever given to s candidate for state office in Union County. He It also one of moot popular members of the upper boose and he has a hoot of friends throughout the state who win resent the actions of the bosses In turning him down.

akc Immediate action.

The defeat of the postal savings ■ank bill In Congress last winter miuti, >e counted up against that session is one of Us gravest failures to comlity with the people's wishes. It was a measure that overstepped party

pledged by all the great

parties. And Republican party, when placed in control by the people, was :barged with the duty of fulfilling this pledge. It failed to do so. Big ualnese took care of that- It said: If a postal savings bBU Is to be mlawed to pass, it must be ene that will be satisfactory to Well Street-” Champions of a measure In the interest of the people found It impoesible to accomplish anything against the opposition Of the ••system." So the session ended with nothing done. But the failure of Oongreas seems only to hare stirred the public to greeter efforts. Agitations In favor of postal savings baa continued with greater fervor than before. Pres ident Tart’s recent speech endorsing this legislation has stimulated this agitation. It has given rise to the hop that a wiae postal aariags bank law may be forced from the reluctant leader Congress at tbs sen session. It has led to the ^expectation that the pressur of executive •recommends-

tbs weight of public

demand, will at last prove effective. we abould not ariae our hopes too high. We should remember that Cannon M still in control. He is against postal aariags banka. When reelected Speaker at the laat session, be was given power to ap point the committee through whoso hands the postal savings bill mnK pass. In advocating this measure, sad in recommending Us enactment intc law. President Taft should consider this fact K may become necessary to Cannon from control before pos a rings can be secured. But w batmust be done to compel the machine in Congress to fulfill the party

with 0

r postal savings should continue, and will tlnue, until the people win.
