For the same reasons the drys recognize that New Jersey will be an important teat of public sentiment and while the democratic nominee ,1 Just as wet as the repubhean. nevertheless he I will not be as strong a figure in the republican congress as would Mr. Mor row if successful. In fact, the leader ship is" being attributed to Mr. Mcjr-mo on a national scale.

From the wet viewpoint, however, it is an uphill f.ght, because in order to submit a repeal amendment to the 48 state a two-thirds vote i of both houses of congress becomes necessary. I Neither the southern democrats nor the western republicans have jn nounced their willingness to vote for repeal, though two of the western drys aid they would be guided by a referendum. As matters stand today, repeal amendment would hardly command one -third vote of the senate or the house, though It Is evident the wets are making gains due to such outspoken utterances as that Dwight Morrow and the action of the republican state convention.

Among the 250 representatives at the convention were Assessors Frederick T. McClatch-ey and J. M.

Linnehan of Pittsfield. Henry F. Long, commissioner of corporations and taxation of Massachusetts, was the most prominent figure at the convention. He led a round-table discussion and answered questions on the new motor excise tax in the afternoon and was the speaker of the evening. William E.

Sanderson presided over the gathering. The other i speakers were Deputy Commissioner John D. Donahue and' Mayor Dwight R. Winter. Concerning the new motor excise tax, Mr.

Long said in part: The new law has not been In force long enough to permit of comparison with that of 1929. To many the new law taxing by months instead of quarterly, is an Improvement, i The new provision for payment 30 days from" date of the bill acts to accelerate the early assessment of the motor excise and as no abatement is allowable that reduces the excise collected below $2. The elements of fairness in the principle of the law indicate its continuance as an important source of local revenue, and its administration in a way that will not annoy the, taxpayer or overburden the collect tor. The subject of Mr. Long's address in the evening was Valuable Machinery of Struggling Industries," in which he outlined the problems of local boards of assessors.

In conclusion he said: The assessor has no yardstick of value. He must exercise every particle of his ability in. reaching values and in so doing he will bring Justice and consequent relief to each struggling Industry." City Notes Miss Katie Kravetz of Brooklyn, N. i the guest of her sister. Mrs.

Massachusetts and Cher eastern states where the prohibition question has been dividing the republican party. The tendency of some of the republican in New Jersey was to straddle on the issue, as it had been be-l eved that, sinoe Mr. Morrow had made his own portion clear, the tate platform could really avoid committing Itself oh repeal.

iThe candidate, however, pointed to the fact that he believed his overwhelming victory was due to a sentiment for repeal and he demanded a flat recommendation advocating repeal as well as state control. There Is no doubt that the acceptance by New Jersey of Mr, Morrow's views has given him a potation of leadership which will Influence other statep. The democratic nominee for the senate from New Jersey, Alexander Simpson, also wiH run on a repeal platform, but his hopes are based- on the theory that dry republicans will cast their votes for the democratic candidate in order to prevent Mr. Morrows election, so that the republican party leaders may be punished for embracing the wet cause, Mr. Morrow's strength, however, goes beyond prohibition, and the general impression now is that he will carry New Jersey by a substantial vo tV tie Jubilant The wets here Jubilant over the turn of affairs, for they had not expected to make such rapid progress toward repeal planks In state platforms.

June 26 William Barnes, former republican leader, of the state, died at his home In Armon ic yesterday after a week's illness of pneumonia He was 64 years old. Burial will be in the family plot in Albany at 4 o'clock Friday afternoon. Barnes-was born in Albany and educated at the Albany academy and Harvard university.

I I ALBANY, N. 26 (AP) William -Barnes, former Albany county republican chieftain, who died at Ar monk yesterday, was, up to hi re tirement from active politics few years ago, one of the last of the old school political autocrats.

For more than 20 years he ruled absolutely the activities of the republican party in Albany, and his influence was exerted in both sate and national councils. From hi mother's father, the late Thurlow Weed, he inherited an aptitude for politics whicli landed him, as a young man ifito the very thick of partisan activities. He was born in Albany Nov, 17, 1866 and was graduated from Harvard college in 1888. Soon after leaving college he took over Control of the Albany Evening Journal, which had been founded by Thurlow Weed, and he continued as, owner of the paper until it was sold a few years ago to the Press Company, publishers of the Albany Evening News and the Knickerbocker Press. 1 During the campaign of 1912, former President Theodore Roosevelt, presidential nominee of the progressive party, in' a political speech referred to Mr.

Barnes as a corrupt leader." Barnes retaliated by suing Colonel Roosevelt for libel. The trial, conducted at Syracuse, made front page newspaper copy throughout its duration and ended in a verdict for Mr. Roosevelt. Shortly afterward, Mr. Barnes, while maintaining a voting residence in this city, moved td New York.

Unable to dominate party affairs while absent from, the city, his power began to wane and in 1921 It was broken when, after 22 years of uninterrupted control the republican administration in the city was overturned by the democrats, who have since continued in power, A year later the county government also was captured by the democrats. Since that time Mr. Barnes ha beenf seen in Albany only on occasional visits. He was United State surveyor of customs at Albany from 1809 until 1911. was 22 years a member of the republican state committee, of which he was chairman for three years, and he served four years as New York state representative on the republican national committee.

He was married twice. His first wife, who divorced him, live at Nantucket, Mass. His second wife died about a year ago. He leave two sons, Thurlow Weed Barnes and Landon Barnes.
