Trenton, dan, 20.-That very old and somewhnt commonplace proverly "The early bird Aatchor the worm," Is never theless 17 to shite In its appHcations, It comes in handy fJurt at present whet candidates on both sides of the politlcal fence nre grooming themselven for the highly honorable and: imp@rtunt mosition of governor of New Jersey. If you ask the early bird« why t have trken time by the forelock, they probably will tel you that they. want to gve the voter an winpde efimice to teil what manner of men they ure, mo that when he comes to cant his ballot he can do so with Intelligent diserlinInation. | Thin is very good political logic, quite na neceptable to the voter an to the candidnte. There are two classes of candidate the present | tme-avowed . candldates and receptive candidates. | Both of the big political partier have cand)dates of both clusses. Both ulno have plenty of "dark homes.". But If "dark horses" don‘t et _Into the running befare long they may fnd. themmelver under a considerable handicap, for a number of the candidates already. in the feld have mucceeded in getting n pretty good start. Leaders In both political parties ure well awnte of the importunce of the | governorship thi year, . It is the only office to be filed next fall by the voter of the stute ns a thole, Therefore it means more then the mere filling of the office, although that of ftwelf lx fmportot. It means a battle between the two parties to determine which In to get the supremacy in a year which in speciully wignificant because it is. the yeur preceding a presidential election. Makes Them 8it Up and Take Notice, ‘To the cusust observer It might seem that developments thus far lave not

produced anything of great. Imupor trace. As a matter of fact, a situtio parties which is regarded as of the highest Importance by the leaders o both parties, whether they wiil adm! it or tot, | It t a aftuation which ma muke fiself felt much more strong upon the result of the general electio than upon the result of the primary, Everybody. knows that: James R Nugent and Frank Hague, Jernoy City‘ mayor, ure the domitiinnt powers in. the Democratic polities of New Jersey todng, It was quite atural that Mexsra Nugent and Hague should get together and stage a coup which, with every thing trailing slong nicely, hell to kweep New Jersey into the De

column by the election of a Democratic wovernor. . These two. leaders: looked the eld over and weiscted as their cundidate Edward L. Eowards, formerly atite comptroller and now senator from Hudson county. ‘They tade no secret of their plans, and why should they? It was all cut and dried and an the porty leaders they expected the rank and file to fall tn tine, Mr. Edwards didn‘t exuetly accept. He fidgeted a bit if wes may pat it tnt way.. He came out In a qualitied statement muying that if he ran for governor he didn‘t want to run us the candidate of the boxses. . Thut wan in effect what he said, though be used a bit more finesse in saying It. He had been put Into the race by Nugent and Hngue and it may have been that he heard rumblings, Just about this time there came a crash. — t shook. the whole eliborate structure which had heen butlt up by the two party leaders and rattied om nousty in the ears of their enndidate, It cun‘t exactly be suld to have been expected, or unexpected, but when It came It guve the two leaders some. thing to think about that they hadn‘t thought about before, Hurled an Anti-Boss Deft. What was I7. Why, it was "Tom" Scully aplitng. the beans. . re in| nothing halfway. about "Tom," . His | reputation as the ulterior antithonis of | ® pumtyfooter hax gone far beyond the | confines of the Third Congremsional District. In fis clinructerisite, whee tncular faxilon "Tom" towed filk diut Into the ring and at the sume. time hurled a ded »auntely Into the faces of the Nugent-Higue-Edward« combinatton, — Then ind there he werved no: tee that he wouldn‘t «tind. for ony boss domination. In — the Democratic | party and that he propored to tight It out on this Hine If It took ull summer, and all fall, too. It was fun for the gailery. It was fus for the Republicans. ng to happen. If theif frgseng should win at the primary, as they atlil appear to be confident he will, what will be | the, chance of getting a united party rew

nery aind pacer ap the broken gos Ing so nx to ger the whole thing going 1 right nealn after the pritoury. fight 18 over, or wi‘l they tive n milly divided and disorranized party on their hand? The Republicans are not siging much, but ther are watching: the. sdtuntion With the keenest Interest aud with ow lutce an admixture of muinprthy. m# posible — under the . elreumstunces. The — Demaerste arent anying. much, either. | Thus fur, they have heen let» thg "Yom" Seully do mont of the tntkInc. A wood many of the friends of Senntor Edwnrds are of the opinion that under the. clreamitances 1U might be | well for Nugent und Hague to "ny off" But if they do, how are they goIme to keep on the Job ns leaders? And what good is a leader if he Inn‘t on the job? ‘The situation in distressing, to aay the least. . And "Pom" Heatly tn‘t through yet, not by any means. It% a good wgn that a man moans bust ness when he takes to the advertising columns of the newspapers. NOW ANXIOUS TO HAVE THE VEHICULAR Tune Lor I CRAC T CEC Improvement Receives a Sudden Impetus. ‘Trenton, Jan. 29.-"It‘s an I11 wind ‘at blows nobody any good.". ‘The recent harbor strike in the port of New York bas apparently convinced the commercial Interests there that a vehieular tunnel connecting New York and New, Jersuy is not merely desirubie, but In the light of auch emergencles as the one brought about by the mtrlke, a necessity, It now soems probable that the Now York leglalnture at its present sesion will npprove the full amount of New York‘s share, which ix $8,000,000, and will make the frst Installment of $1,000,000 avails ble during the your 1910, Pully realizing the great benefit such tunnel woutd be to New Jersey, Govstor Edge and others bf the state uu» horitler hive been trying. for some Ime to got New York to take metion. ow that this action in likely to come soon, It is up to New Jersey to tow that sho will not be behind band n the work of carrying out the big Man. pamsenger tunnels under the fudaon river have resulted In vat eBt to the communitien tapped by he ralironds operating directly or inIreetly — throbigh those t
