EDGE SELECTED'
SENATE LEADER
Prince, of Passaic, Is Named
for President.
MS DISTRIBUTED.
Nichols’ Son Gets Fat Job in Order
to Keep Papa in Good
humor.
Trenton, N. J., Nov. 28.—After one
of the sharpest caucus fights ever held
in the State House, Senator Walter E.
Edge, of Atlantic County, was selected
as Republican leader of the Senate
this afternoon, and with his selection
was set on foot a movement to depose
Congressman John Gardner, of the
Second Congressional District, by
pledging to Senator Griffith W. Lewis,
of Burlington County, the support of
that county. This was the deal, which,
it is said, was made behind the closed
doors of the caucus, and which won
the fight for Edge.
The Republican Senators will meet
again December 12 for a conference,
and they will talk over means to car
ry out in detail all the pledges of the
Republican platform made in the last
campaign. The Senate will hold its
first meeting of the session for the
purpose of organizing January 9, at
which time the House will also meet
and organize.
Jn the leadership fight Senator Har
ry D. Leavitt, of Mercer County, made
j a strong stand. Leavitt was set aside
last year for the leadership on the
plea that Senator Prince should have
It In order to land the presidency this
year and go before the people for re
election with the added prestige of
president of the Senate. It was pret
ty thoroughly understood last year
that Leavitt should have first chance
at the leadership this time, and ev
erything looked favorable for the Mer
cer man until Senator Edge stepped
into the arena.
Senator Leavitt, nowever, was a
good loser, for he was the first man
to congratulate Senator Edge on his
victory. Edge was opposed by David
Baird and other strong Republican
leaders.
Senator John D. Prince, of Passaic,
last year’s majority leader, was select
ed as president of the Senate without
opposition. Other officials named to
act during the Senate session are:
Secretary of the Senate—Francis B.
Davis, of Gloucester County.
Assistant Secretary of the Senate—
Edwin S. Nichols, of Cumberland.
Journal clerk—John W. Clift, of
Union.
Assistant journal clerk—Assigned
to Burlington County, but not yet
named.
Sergeant at arms—Goudaloup A.
Holl, of Mercer County.
Assistant Sergeant at arms—Joseph
Fitzga, of Somerset.
Calendar clerk—Tuttle Walker, of
Atlantic.
Bill clerk—Charles C. Bohm, of
Cape May.
Supervisor of bills—Assigned to
Essex.
Assistant supervisor of bills—As
signed to £amden.
Secretary to the president—As
signed to Passaic.
A steering committee composed of
Senators Leavitt, Mercer; Lewis, Bur
lington; Gaunt, Gloucester, and Smal
ley, Somerset, was appointed by the
new leader to arrange the apportion
ment of the patronage not yet as
signed. This committee will meet
soon.
The Republicans of the House, it
was decided today, will have their
mucus next Tuesday at the State
House, and a committee from that
jody will meet with a committee from
he Republican Senators on the carry
ng out of the party platform. In all
likelihood Assemblyman Thomas F.
VIcCran, of Passaic, will be chosen
Speaker of the House; Assemblyman
Jeorge W. Whyte, Republican major
ity leader, and Upton S. Jeffreys, of
Camden, clerk of the House. Th^ lat
:er for several years has been assls

Which Roofing Shall I Use?
Answer that question for good and all. When you
buy prepared roofing you expect years of wear and satis
faction. Here is the way to insure getting it. A simple
way — an easy way and a quick way to find out just
exactly how any prepared roofing will stand up under
ten years of the hardest kind of wear on a building.
* First, get our book from the dealer. It’s called
“ Ten Years Wear in Ten Minute Tests.” Then —
getsamples of any prepared roofings you are considering
and subject them all to the six tests contained in the
book. These tests correspond to ten years of extreme
weather and emergency conditions. Choose the roofing
that stands them best. 11 w'ill ingest on your building.
If you really want to know which roofing is best, don’t fail to
include
vulcanite Roofing
in your tests. We furnish the way of knowing. We furnish the
samples. You do the rest. Decide for yourself which roofing you want
to use. Base your decision on the way the roofing is going to wear.
Don’t let any one’s talk influence you. Just choose the roof
that makes good best.
fcYou won’t be sure of money’s worth in roofing until you try
these tests. Ask or write the dealer whose name appears below.

MILLVILLE TAX
MATTERSJMJDDLED
fill 11 vine, N. J., Mov. 28.—One hun
dred property owners appeared before
the Cumberland county tax board,
which sat here to-day, and asked that
tbe assessment made against their
properties by tbe local assessors be re
ouced. Herbert Bartlett, of Vineland,
counsel for the Millville Gas Company
and the Millville Water Company, ap
pealed to tbe board to increase tbe
assessments levied against tbe cotton
Company, and the big glass works of
Wbitall Tatum Company for the sake
of equalization of taxes.
The board fixed December 18 as tbe
date upon which Mr. Bartlett is to
present testimony that the assessments
of the manufacturing plans, as com
pared with those of the utility con
cerns, are not equal. The Villville
Gas Company’s plant and the Millvill
Water Company’s property were
assessed $150,000 each last year. On
appeal to tbe county tax hoard they
were reduced to $87,015 and $64,044,
respectively. The city appealed in
t n 'the State tax board, which
placed tbe assessment on tbe gas
works at $106,lii9 and on the water
plant $127,658. The local assessors
took these figures as tbe assessments
against the utility plants this year.
It is rumored to day that there will
be many charges and cross charges
in which other manufacturing plants
of tne city will be involved before
tbe assesments are adjusted. The
small property holders have charged
for many years that the big corpora
tions are not paying their just share
of taxes, and will now use every effort
to have a thorough investigation
made.
