New Jersey’s Greatest Store |: TALK OF TRENTON ■ ON TIMELY TOPICS Utility Commissionership, Som erset Senatorship and Monday Night Dinners on the Side. [Special to the Newark Star.] TRENTON, Feb. 10.—Pending the consideration of the confirmation of Wlnthrop More Daniels, of Princeton, to the Interstate Commerce Commis sion by the United States Senate there [Vill be no vacancy of his position as public utility commissioner, for he will not resign the State post until his appointment by President Wilson to the federal commission Is confirmed. Nevertheless, the appointment of | former Judge of the Court of Errors f and Appeals John J. Treacy is re garded on all hands as a practical certainty. Governor Fielder has not said a word to anybody in regard to the matter, and former Judge Treacy Is, naturally, silent on the subject, but the idea has gradually spread that he Is the man who will be chosen. The mention of his name has occasioned more complimentary comments than Is usually the rule, considering that there were a large number of candi dates for the appointment, most of whom have given up hoping that It will come the way of any one of them. Friends of former Judge Treacy say that he Is seeking no appointment, but that such xa post as this would not be refused by him “any more than it would by any citizen with the red blodd of constructive democracy in his veins." The quotes were contributed by a legal associate of former Judge Treacy In Hudson county. , _ , Already Speaker Azarlah M. Beck man, of the Assembly, is being men tioned In connection with higher honors. It is said that he Is being groomed for the Democratic nomi nation for State senator In Somerset county. State Commissioner of Banking and Insurance La Monte Is the Democratic leader of Somerset county, they say around the State House. He is the groom who Is said to be preparing the speaker of the House for the senatorial nomination, which is said to be as good as secured to Assemblyman Beckman already. ... Beckman’* Opportnnltle*. The present State senator of Somer set is William W. Smalley, Repub lican. He was elected In 1911. and, incidentally, he defeated no less an opponent than the present Demo * cratic leader and State banking and insuranc commissioner at that elec tion. The plurality of Senator i Smalley at that time was small, 295 votes separating the winner and Mr. LaMonte. Senator Smalley Is popular In Somerset county, but Mr. LaMonte evidently believes that he can square the defeat of 1911, which was a nar row one, by "putting over" Speaker Beekman next fall. Part of the "grooming" is said to be Mr. Beek man’s choice as speaker of the House, and he is counted on to make many friends and attract much attention while In occupancy of that position. Monday night dinners in Trenton are getting to be quite de rigeur, as it is said in the society q|Iumns. Former Governor Edward jasper Stokes is now giving one weekly. Republican State senator* and a few Republican assemblymen are usually his guests. Formerly it was Briga dier-General Wilbur F. Sadler who gave the Monday night dinners and he had no rivals. While the adjutant general of the National Guard of New Jersey still holds his Monday night dinners, he is not thqj only one. There has been no declaration of rivalry by former Governor Stokes, but the dinners are an accomplished fact L*ast night four Republican senators and two Republican assem blyman were his guests. There are six other Republican senators, but 'Whether General Sadler bagged them all is not known on good authority. Gathered from “Siftings.” “Siftings,” a weekly newspaper, with a following usually to be found under a Republican banner, when the campaign is on. has a leading article in the current issue which opens with the announcement that "after all, it looks as If James R. Nugent would have to come to the rescue of the 1 Democratic party in New Jersey, t The article goes on to remark on the strength of Democracy two years ago i to point out the weakness of some of i the lieutenants on whom Wilson dropped his mantle and says that for mer Governor Stokes has begun to f batter Democracy with the aid of young political cavaliers until it is In danger. The article continues: Is Nugent fit for leadership? Ask Stokes, who regards the Essex man as the most astute politician in New Jersey. Is he progressive enough for these times? Ask Supreme Court Clerk Gebhardt. who declared in the corridor of the State Senate last win ter, that Nugent was one of the most progressive, one of the ablest and one of the best men in the State of New Jersey. A few months later, Geb hardt, speaking for Fielder, went about the State damning^Nugent as a ’reactionary’ and as a ’boss.’ You see, Gebhardt’s opinion, privately ex pressed, and Gebhardt’s estimate, publicly expressed, seemed to be dif i ferent matters. But please remember that Gebhardt owes his job to the enemies of Nugent. * * * The out look for the Democratic party, with Stokes hammering away at It, would be miserable Indeed, were it not for Nugent. As It is. Nugent can hold Stokes down for the rest of his life— 1f the Democrats only have sense to let him do It.” , . , The article has attracted a lot of attention in and around the State House. It may be a Republican point of view, but It Is Democrats who are . seen reading the paper In odd cor ners of the State House corridors.
