DEMOCRATS CLAIM. PROPOSE DRASTIC. [Etat Detivery Truck Suitable To Numerous Lines of Business By 15 Artists Is WTORY WM ERSEY| LEGSLATION.T BYSO0O0MARGM CHECK THEVERY Tide Is Setting In for Edwards Important Confererice Soon to for Governo:—Republi- Be Held Will Consider cans Cry for Help. Severe Measures, ‘The Now Jersey Democratic State} Acting upon the request of the New Committee estimates that Edward L/Ydrk State Automobile Association FAwards, Democratic Gubernatorial 'State officials are now at work pre- candidate, will be elected by a plural- ity of at least 50,000 votes. The com- mittee claims that the switch of over 100,000 votes necessary to accomplish this result in a State normally Re- Dubiican will be from three sources. ‘The greatest defection from Repub- Moan ranks will be among those who @re compelled to dajly ride on trolley cars and who blame the Public Util ties Commission for the fare increase, The next great source of help toward Edwards's election, that can- didate’s campaign managers believe, will be the enemies of Prohibition, Friends of Edwards, who have all along accused Newton A. K. Bugbes, Republican Gubernatorial candidate, jasue, claim that Prosident Wilson's apt in vetoing thé Prohibi- tion Dnforcement Bill and the action of the Republican controlled Congress in overriding the President's veto paring a workable legislative pro- gramme in the interests of motorists. The resolutions adopted by the asso- Clation at its recent State convention in Albany have been placed before them and several definite suggestions are now being considered by Attorney General Newton, Secretary bf State an: and Major George F. Chandler, iperintendent of State Troopers. ‘Two measures to strengthen the law have found considerable favor, One would meet an opinion of the Attor. ney General by permitting arresta tn the daytime for having improper headlight equipment. Mr, Newton held ttiat this could not be done un- der the present law. » The second would enable the con- fiscation of lights when found to be in violation of the law. Plainly show that the Demooratic | % Party is against Prohibition and that the Republicans are for it. In @ formal statement given out by {he Democratic State Committes, an alliance between the Public Service Corporation and the Republican Party for the increase of carfares is openly charged. The statement, in part, follows: - “With their backs to the wall and defeat staring them in the face, the Republican leaders of New Jersey are clamoring for help. Readizing that the Democratic Party for the first tine in years is united and that thousands of independent Repupli- cans are disgusted with the attitude on the State issues of Newton A. K. Bugbee, Republican candidate for Gevernor, the Edge-Baird-Stokes combination has appealed to the Na- tional Republican Committee in the} hope of stemming the tide that is/| setting in. “Hoping to divert the minds of the voters from State issues, the Republican machine is bringing into the State Republican orators of ni tional reputation, who are inject- ing national issues into the cam palgn. This in itsewt is convincing proof that the Republican Party does not dare to fight this campaign out on State issues, : “How could they? Controlled as they are by the Public Service Cor- poration, which is financing the Bugbeo campaign, how would the Edge-Baird-Stokes machine dare de- clare opposition to that corporation? On the other hand, they could not defend it, because they know that such acttion would be suicide. You do not have to tell the people of New Jerscy that the Public Service Cor- portion dominates the Republican Party. Facts prove this. ‘ “Every request made by the Public! Service Corporation since the Edge- Balrd-Stokes machine came into con- trol has been granted by the Public association has Chandler that it will favor legisia- tion increasing his force. State off- cials have also taken up the com- aint that trolley cars, running on ines paralleling highways, are not obeying the Anti-Glare Headlight Law and action will be taken in this matter, The effort to prevent automobile thefts, which was initiated at the an- nual convention of the association, is also receiving particular attention. Major Chandler has suggested that a law be passed making mandatory the issuance of a deed similar to that used in real estate transfers when- ever an automobile is sold or trans- ferred. It is proposed that the deed of sale be witnessed by a police off- cer, Justice of the Peace or Sheriff, Thereafter any person offering a car for sale who could not produce such a title to the car would be considered to have it by unlawful means, The Proposed measure is now being drafted. A conference on automobile legis- lation will soon be held by State of- cials and Traffic Court officials, in ac- cordance with the suggestions and recommendations of the New York State Automobile Association. jt aa con AUTO OPERATION ECONOMY. “To a great extent economy of oper- ‘ation depends as much upon the owner as upon the car itself,” says H. 8. Daniels, Advertising Manager of the Dort Motor Car Company. “It is possible to get greater gasoline mileage through the proper edjustment of the carburetor, Of course, this has to be performed by one thoroughiy conversant with the carburetor con- struction, and for this reason we main- tain an expert mechanic to handle this feature for Dort owners. “Again, if you are of the qually of gasoline and oll you buy, you Utility Commission and the interests| will find that the higher grades’ give of the travelling public and the people of the State disregarded, That the Public Service Corporation helped to ti extent to finance former Gov, campaign for United States enator is a matter of political his- tory. When nominated at the pri- maries for the Senatorship, Mr. Edge was still Governor and the day after Nis nomination the State wag startled by announcement that the Board of Utility Commissioners appointed by Mr, Edge and controlled by him had given the Public Service Corporation the right to increase its trolley fare from 6 to 7 cents, “A few months previous to this, the Public Utilities Commission had re- fused a similar application, and Pres- ident Thomas MoCarter of the Public Service Corporation at the time char- acterized the members of the commi: sion as a lot of political horse thieves, Since then, due to the close partner- ship between the Republican machine und the Public Service Corporation, the Utilities Commission has granted other requests of the Public Service Corporation, including the establish- ment of the outrageous zone system that has taken from the pockets of the people of the State of New Jersey many millions of dollars, “Shall it be a Government in New lersey by the Public Service Corpora. | L. tlan or by the people of New Jersey? This is the paramount issue in this campaign. “Senator Edwards, thé Democratic candidate for Governor, says that if he is elected one of his first official acts will be to oust the present Public Ser- vice controlled Utilities Commission ‘and that he will insist on a return to the old flat rate of 5 cent trolley fare, Republ candi: Bugbee is ev: sive on this important issue, just as he is on the question of Prohibition, and because of his straddling attitude he has alienated independent Republi- ion of the State, vtie can- s frank on the p is on that of ution control, 4 Dn the other didate -Prohibition issue as Public Servic: claring t uinst Prohibition and that if elected he will use every lawful means to prevent its enforce- ment.
