CORRUPTION (Continued from page 1) has a show, is preferable to the bosscontrolled convention method of nominating candidates, declares the congressman.

He suggests that Stokes "appoint a committee of loyal Republicans to submit to the legislature a re-draft of the primary laws." The state committee Itself should investigate any county where it has reason to belleve there is corruption, without depending on an inactive legislature to make an investigation. says Patterson. He declares that he that Camden county the Republican executive com committee has worked, against Republican candidates and openly boasted they had orders to do r. Expenditures, for already senator made were in the referred to first by Chairman Stokes, who in his reply to Patterson's Arst spoke the "full-fledged bitterness" and the "will saturnalia" in the expenditure of 1 money. The blame for this situation 1s passed back to Stokes himself by the Camden congressman.

"If these conditions are true," he says, "and I do not for one moment doubt your word, it is the duty of the state committee and its chairman to try and put a stop to such a saturnalia to prevent the Republican party in New Jersey from facing such a situation in the United States senate as now confronts the party in Illinois and Pennsylvania. I know morals and appetites of people cannot be corrected by legislation and I have no doubt that the grafters thruout the state are encouraging a three- -cornered fight for senator with the idea not 80 much of corrupting the electorate), as for the single pur- pose of lining their own pockets and gaining political prestige. While the United States senate might have something to say about the seating of a candidate nominated and elected under such conditions you know as well as anybody that there are merous ways of evading the present state primary law and apparently getting away with it. Therefore why not correct that law while there is time Instead of injecting another controversial question like the convention system into our already muddled political situation." The prohibition issue, which is splitting the party, may well be dropped for the present, says Patterson. "The next Republican national convention, on the challenge of Butler, will probably outline the policy of our party on the 'wet' and issue, and it will probably be time enough then for us to decide individually whether we subsribe to its declaration," he alvises.

"Individually all have the right to our own opinions and we are always at liberty to change them but it we run on a. party platform we should be ready to sustain all its 1927. MISS SUPPLE BRIDE OF AVON PUBLISHER J. Thomas Gagen, son of Mrs. E.

On resolution of Senator Cole of Sussex, Miss Catherine Pierson, daughter of Senator Pierson Westfield, was adopted as the daughter of the senate. Miss Pierson and a girl companion occupied seats on the senate floor with the Union senator. Before recessing until Monday night, confirmed in the executive following: session the Johnson senate Aller, Clinton, Hunterdon prosecutor; Clifford Emmons, Pemberton, Burlington tax board; T.

Robbins, Flemington, Hunterdon Common Pleas court; George R. Vaughn, Newton, Sussex prosecutor; Jacob R. Lefferts, Matawan, Monmouth tax board; Frank R. Neutze, Camden, Camden District court. Session to Week of March 21.

Adjournment of the 1927 legislature during the week of March 21 is the tentative program of the Republican majority leaders. An all-year session, such as occurred in 1926, will not be followed this year, because the several proposed constitutional amendments are required to be submitted to the electorate within four months after final adjournment of the legislature. Speaking for the majority party, Senator Stevens of Long Branch, in checking up on the Republican program said the solution of the state highway financing is the most perplexing of the issues remaining. The Joint Republican Conference committee, according Stevens, favors a combination state bond issue and two cent gasoline tax, to yield 000,000 to be expended in six years. Senator Emerson Richards of Atlantic is opposed to the bond plan, and favors the gas Richards has deferred his promised attack on the bond program until next week's session.

Republican senators are also seeking to reach some agreement on the three party bills for ratification of the Tri-State Water compact for allocation of the waters of the Delaware among New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. Stevens practically conceded that revision of t'e archaic Vice and Immorality, or "Blue Laws" is doomed to defeat, probably by being held in committee. Reorganization of the higher state courts, in accordance with a resolution sponsored by Senator Case of Somerset, is awaiting disposition. Senator Case did not urge advancement of this proposed constitutional amendment with the other companion measures which were approved yesterday.

23. (P) -Near panic prevailed in the native quarter of Shanghai today as deserters and stragglers from the broken army of Marshal Sun Chuan-Fang continued to arrive in increasing numbers and rumors were that they were planning a wholesale looting of the prize city. French authorities strengthened the defense about their concession, which yesterday was bombarded by a Chinese warship which had deserted Marshal Sun's cause and gone over to the Cantonese. The French quarter was struck by five shells and the native section by five more because of defective guns and poor marksmanship. The intention was to shell Marshal Sun's arsenal by firing over the city and the shells fell short.

In spite of the incident in the French quarter, thousands of refugees poured into it from the native section as the situation outside became more tense. Meanwhile the strike abated apprecially. It was estimated that 30,000 of the men which were on strike yesterday had returned to work. Local authorities of Marshal Sun resumed control of the warships Kiangwei and Kiangkang, which were in the river at the time the other Chinese warcraft opened fire. Marshal Sun was reported to have reached Shanghai today from Nanking, capital of this province, which he surrendered to Shantung military forces.

The Shantungese took over the city as a part of their plan to bring troops from the north to aid Suns' tottering army in the defense of Shanghai against the approaching Cantonese who are lining up south of here. SHANGHAI, Feb. 23. (AP) --Marshal Sun Chuan-Fang, once overlord of five of the richest provinces in China, today surrendered the capital of his last remaining state to an erstwhile enemy in a desperate effort to prevent Shanghai and the surrounding important territory in Kiangsu province, from falling into hands of his mortal foes, the Cantonese. Meanwhile, the international city remained on edge tho result of being bombarded yesterday by a Chinese gunboat in the Whangpoo river here which deserted Marshal Sun's cause and attempted to shell his arsenal by firing over the metropolis.

The guns were defective, and the shells fell short, five landing in the French concession and five in the Chinese section, killing two native and damaging two American residences. Instantly the French forces here were aroused. Two French gunboats trained their guns on two other Chinese war craft which were nearby and which also were reported to have turned against Marshal Sun in favor of the Cantonese. The other two Chinese craft did not open fire, however, and a clash was averted. Feng Tien Forces To Defend Shanghai By JAMES L.

23. (P) "Commerce, when guided right, can become greatest instrument in promoting thin international cooperation and international peace," Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia university, New York City, told the Chicago Association of Commerce today. "The world is being bound together day by day more closely than ever before," he said, "its various parts and its various peoples are steadily growing more interdependent. The time has come to think in terms of the new order and to look upon kind as one great family, but of diverse traditions, languages, religions and economic interests: The dominant problem for the statesmanship of the future is how to guide and to teach a nation to live in fellowship with all other nations and in cooperation with them for common ends, while maintaining its own integrity of ideals and its own independenc3 of government."

Should the Cantonese expel the foreign Reds it is believed a compromise political principles be made.

on, "A compromise is possible, even with Communists, they they are Chinese," Yang said. "But as long as the Soviet agents remain we will fight. We hope the north and south can meet and discuss the whole political situation, but the time is not yet." Discussing military plans, Yang eXplained the north's failure to make headway in the last six months as due to difficulties with Wu Pel Fu and Sun Chuan Fang, and the failure of these allies to cooperate and act opportunely, at the same time refusing proferred Feng Tien assistance. He compared the situation with Europe in 1914 under divided allied command. Owing to Wu Pel Fu's failure, Yang sail, Hankow was lost.

A similar failure by Sun Chuan Fang now has cost Chekiang and imperilled Shanghai. Mukden still wishes to cooperate with Wu Pei Fu and Sun Chuan Fang, but now plans to go ahead altho the spirit of cooperation is not complete. yet, "Henceforth, the question between Mukden and the south will be a direct question," Yang said, "and we expect come into direct contact with the south soon, along both the Peking and the ShanghaiNanking railways. We that Cheklang is lost and that the south's goal is Shanghai. Should they, while employing political labor instigators within the city, attempt to isolate it by cutting the Shanghai- Nanking railway, we will meet them along the railway between Shanghai and Soochow.

"Should they move direct against Shanghai, wo will defend the city. The other main point in the general plan contemplates retaking Hankow and we still hope to convince Wu Pel Fu that our entry into Honan is purely for the purpose of reaching the Bolsheviks, and that he will facilitate the advance and cooperate. Third. should the Cantonese invade Anhwei province, we are prepared to strike thru that province against Chekiang." Yang Yu Ting stated that the Mukparty will not approach political problems until the country north of the Yangtze river has been unified. Questioned regarding the rumored plan to hand the Russian ambassador his passports, Yang said the matter had not yet been considered, but that it was possible this would be 1927 by the Chicago Daily News company.
