Governor Edge made to the people two years ago and. was elected by the largest majority ever given the State's executive exceeding by one-third the phenomenal majority given to W'oodroiv Wilson at the '1010 election. His friends say that he has endeavored to protect the people's interests and, if by doing so he has gained the en-emity of the corporations and certain financial interestd and this fact is made clear there need be no doubt as to what the action o' the voters will be on election day.

Therefore, the Governor is not disturbed by the sp'enetic attack of rhe head of the great troPey-gas-electric combine. He made the short and dignified reply to the fiery Mr. McC'arter that discussion with a man who could not control his temper was to be avoided and furthermore that it was in bad taste for a litigant who had lest his case to turn around and abuse the court. That there will more fireworks is not doubted. A further statement from the Governor is expected.

There were admissions, however, thai there are still a number of wrinkles to iron out. if Kshe is to return a Republican delegation to the Assembly. The "wet" and tight ha split up the party in a way that is worrying the leaders. The Anti-Saloon League threatens to run an independent Assembly ticket at the general election if their candidate are defeated at the Republican primary, which would materially improve the Democratic chances for victory. While the defeated candidates oould not -run.

such a ticket cou'd be put in under the nr.me of the new National Party.in which many former Progressives and l'rohibiiionists are now enrolled. The Republican outlook in Passaic and Bergen counti was reported to be ouite satisfactory, with every assurance that both counties would re-elect Republican legislators. A renewed demand from the "dry' leaders that the Governor call the Legislature in special session, ostensibly to provide additional facilities for takirg the soldier vote, whith would afford an opportunity to press the Federal prohibition iwnendment to ratification, has met with a denial that there is need a special seasion.

"The South American merchant knows too well American trade customs, while the manufacturer in the United States and his selling agent, in most cases, knows too little of Eatin-Araerican business methods. Of the manufacturers in this country none will share in this South Ame'ican business more than those of Philadelphia, now the great producing centre of the l'nited States." Regarding conditions in Mexico, Mr.

Wallace told officials of the Bourse that industries were gradually recovering from the havoc wrought during the recent revolutions. The mining was almost at a stands; ill, however, he said. "Things are gradually shaping themselves in Mexico," said Mr. Wallace. "Many Americans are returning to the country and, while there is a little uneasiness felt in some quarters regarding the future, conditions are such now as.

not to interfere with business to any appreciable extent. The agreement where-Py Mexican and American railways are to exchang? equipment at the border has tended towards stabilizing internal affairs.

Hardin, the Newark corporation lawyer, as the Senatorial candidate who -was to have White House indorsement was the im-porrant dovlopraent on the Democratic side. It wa decided upon at a secret gathering in House of a few gentlemen who presumably have- th party's interests greatly at heart.

The State Committeemen and county chairman were not consulted. When Mr. Hardin's consent was obtained, telephonic communication was immediately established with Washington and the selection was "oked Information wns given out there that President Wilson is in warmest sympathy with Mr. Hardin's candidacy.

Mrs. Woodruff explained that she had received important information regarding the allotments made by these men and asked that their families or friends come forward at once if they can help locate any of the women named in the War Risk Bureau's list. "The family affairs of some of the service men appear to be badly tangled," said Mrs.

Woodruff, "and once the men are sent overseas it is difficult to get from them additional information to help straighten out allotments. At the same time many a wife is having a hard struggle to hold her family together and is badly in need of her allotment money, which the government is unable to pay, of rrmrse, until she can be located. "Within the past two weeks a number of these cases have been cleared up through the bureau, with the co-onera-tion of tne newspapers. In several -instances the whereabouts of missing families has been reported by persons living some distance from Philadelphia who learned of the governments' efforts through the! newspapers." An additional ease reported by the bureau is that of Mrs. Lenora Josephine Meeker, for whom a war risk Insurance policy made out by Private Ira Frank Meeker is being held by the war risk bureau.
