'STOKES REAL G.O. P. LEADER
ft
Kptcial Dispatch to nimfito Public t.tdorr
Trenton, Mny ". liovrrnnr l.il
wards ald rccrutly at hi presidential
campaign lirndiiiiartors in Now York
that he did not think he could go to the
Democratic national convention in .Inne
an one of New Jersey's Democratic IMk
'Four, because he had to keep an eye on
"those birds." referring to the New
Jersey Legislature, which i controlled
by the Republican.
f Tho "birds.'' while relenting the ex
tcutke's characterization, lat week al
lowed him to tix. through Senate Ma
jority Leader Allen, the time of the
legislative recess which will end on dune
2, showing apparently thnt the Repub
lican legislators are not going to embar
rass the governor in hi presidential
aspirations.
t The understanding seems prctt clear
that after June li the Legislature will
again recess until such a time as the
governor may desire, if he lias not then
made his appointments to tho utility
board and highway commisiou.. It is
these appointments, of cour that arc
holding the Legislature in ..os-dou when
It should have ndjounied weeks ago in
accordance with custom. 'Hie Senate.
however, desires to be in session mi as
to censor the appointments the governor
may maxe. , . , i
The1 governor will continue the trial
01 tlie PUDUC UWIHltS LUIUUIire..
here tomorrow on the charges preferred
by Jersey City, which alleges miscon
duct in office and neglect of duty on
the -part of the utilities commissioners
In allowing Increased trolley fares and
utilities rates. It Is believed that the
trial will be ended tomorrow or pos
sibly Wednesday and the governor wil
then have from that time on In which
to make his decMon. If he desires to
get rid of the board and the Legis
lature It Is pointed that lie can Kill
two political birds with one stone l
"firing" the commission and sending
his new appointment for that body to
the Senate bv June 'J. If the appoint
ments are satisfactory to tho Somite
and those also of the highwny com
, mission the upper homo will iiiiuu'di-
atcly confirm them and uie die ad
journment ma. bo expected a fe dn
thereafter or as soon as the Senate
disposes of the rive hou-ing bills which
the Assembly has passed to relievo the
acute rent profiteering situation in the
state. t, , .
In the Republican camp State Chair
man Stokes seems to keep in the saddle
on the matter of the state leadership.
While it is true that fnited States Sen
ator Walter B. Kdgo landed on the
Big Four as well as Stokes, yet the
fact remains that Stokes's pcrsiMcut
attitude in favor of t'.eneral Leonard
Wood won the da. as tin state indi
cated its preference for the genera .
This has given Stokes the upper hand.
as Edge will be obliged to take hi, cue
for Wood from the preference of the
Toters. Another indication of Stokes s
-leadership was his control of the con
ference of national delegates at Newark
recently, when he engineered tho plan
of pijiUpg Colonel Austin Colgate to
aorvajUfl tho convention's resolutions
committee. The trend of events at
that conference showed that apparently
Scokc Had a majority of the delegates
and It Is pretty well understood that
the former governor could have put
himself on the resolutions committee
had lie so desired, but be sidestepped
for tho sake of harmony.
It Is generally' known that Stokes's
ambition is to become United Stntes
senator. On the other hand, Ldge
would not object to ITeeomlng the tall
to the Republican presidential kite and
taking the vice presidency. Therefore,
instead of lighting each other, friends
of the two men expect to see the
chasm crosded, and the two working
band in hand to promote the ambition
of each other.

$50,000 OFFERED
FOR BANDIT VILLA
Chihuahua State Starts to Run
Down Still Dofiant Out
law Chieftain
U. S. MINES" THREATENED
By the Associated Pre.
Kl Paso, Te.., May 24. A reward of
100.000 pesos for the death or capture
of Francisco Villa has been offered by
the government of the state of Chi
huahua. This announcement was made here
late yesterday by Provisional Governor
Tomas Comoros, who added thnt 12000
troops left Chihuahua City this morn
ing under orders to hunt down the
bandit chieftain.
An unconfirmed report that Villa had
ordered American and other foreign -owned
mlnliic companies in Chihuahua
to pay him M00.000 and that he had
cut the power lino between ltoquillas
and Parral, caused considerable con
cern in Mexican revolutionary circles
here.
The report would indicate Villa had
taken up the cudgel ngalnt the new
do facto government. Previously it wns
officially reported Villa and General P.
Kilns ('alios had failed to agree on
terms looking toward tho bandit's elimi
nation from Mexican affairs.
A military campaign against Villa
Is an immediate prospect, It was said
b revolutionary agents. Villa, it is
said, can be captured because of his
present inability to recruit n large force,
or if successful lir recruiting, to equip
and supply n large force.

of the forces of Kmlll
ono Zapata In Hidalgo, who was ac
cused of dealing with the rebels. He

The way to gain that extra cabinet is to increase the
capacity of your present files by using L. B. Reinforced
folders.
They take up only half as much space in the files as
ordinary extra heavy stock folders. They-permit one cabinet
to do the work of two, thereby saving space, tinfe and
money.
L. B. Reinforced folders are made in medium and heavy
weight, with or without tab. Come in and see them. .

Will YOU Profit by the Experience of the
Western Union Telegraph Company?
J. C. Willever, Vice-President in
charge of Commercial Department, says:
"The Dictaphone is in extensive use in
our various departments and is giving
good satisfaction. A short experimental
try-out showed it to be a time-and-money
saver, and our use of The Dictaphone has
grown steadily."
As you will note, the Western Union
Telegraph Company made tests to deter-
H
mine whether The Dictaphone would
meet its requirements, and after a brief
trial The Dictaphone proved to the com
pany that its use speeds up letter produc
tion and saves money, too.
No matter whether your office is large
or small, you, too, can make the same test
in your business and on- your work. All
we ask for The Dictaphone is a working
demonstration today.
