TltBNTON, N. .1. Pol). 8 There, hni '
been much adverse criticism over the re- '
fusal of the Kcmibllrnn innjorlty In the i
New Jersey Rennto to conllrm sonio of
the nominations of Oovernor .lames V
Fielder for Important Stale ofllecs
It has been alleged, n In the rase of
the nomination of William 11. Hlchmond.
to be I'rosecutor of the Pleas of (lloticcster
County, that the nppolntmenl li belnjr held
up for purely political reasons. There Is
one nomination, howeor, that of rieorue
St. I.amonte to succeed himself as Com
missioner of Ilanklnc and Inmirnnce for j
nnother term or three years, whli-li tlio
I Ilcpubllran majority in the Senate may
hold up without beliiK rlmrffctl wltli do
Itift so for p.itllsnu rennonn only.
Hepuhllenns In the Senate ore In po
sesxlon of Informntlnn which Indicate-)
that Commissioner LnSIonte, while act-Inn-
as supervisor of all Iho State banklni;
nnd trust companion as well as Insurance
coinpanloM nnd bullilliiK nnd loan associa
tions, has been very active In endeavor
Ins to bnve these companies use a partic
ular brand of safety paper mado by the
linn of Oeorne St La Slontc & Sons, with
mills nt Nutley, N. ,T.. of which company
Commissioner I.nSfontc Is tho president.
I'nder ordlnnrv clrcunistnncs Mr. In
Slonte, like any other business man.
would have the rlKht to advertise lil-
wares In any manner he felt llspocd.
Hut ns ho holds tho olllce of Commis
sioner of llaukhiR and Insurance, some
bankers think It Is at least "Indcllcnte,"
on his paH, to send them olrculnr over
his 'own signature Inuding the virtues of
!.- "safety paper," In the manner In
whl-h he Is allowed tc have done It. tint
few of them enro to discuss It; some, pre
sumably because they think their Insti
tutions may be subject to Commissioner
LaStonte's supervision for another three
years, and others for tho reason that
they consider It nu Incident too small for
consideration. Nevertheless, the banks
mny brine sulllclent presstiie on the Re
publican majority In tlm Hennto to with
hold confirmation of Commissioner Ln
Stonte's appointment for another term.
The commissioner does not deny bavins
attempted to boost his business, nor does
he deny hnvliiK sent out clrculnr letters
over his own signature as president ot
the company, but It Is said that be has
recently discontinued the prnctlcc.
