Every Pledge Enacted Inte Laws Along With Many Other Reforms. ‘Wilson as Governor a Fair Sample ot What He Will Do as President. By JUDGE THOMAS H. OWEN, Muskogee, Okla, The Democratic state platform in the New Jersey campaign of 1910 promised | five particular reforms, each of thew radical and apparently academic. They were: A new election law to the control of nomina tions out of the hands of the bosses, | an lability Just to) both employer and employee; a cor fupt practices act, to stop the wrong ful or excessive use of money in elec tions; a publlie utilities with actual andsnot merely theoretical power, and a law regulating the col: storage of food These five thing were promised in the Democratic p form. New had a machine ruled state for yeurs, and nobody too Nobod each of them take employers’ law, commission Jersey been platform prowises seriously expected them to be redeemed. A po Utical party platform was like a street car platform mething to get in on What They Said Would Happen. When the election was over New Jersey found that it had a Democrat governor, a Republican by to 9 and a lower house Democratic b 42 to 18 Of course the Republican controlling the senate, could block ar legislation they desired. They deter mined at once to stop all the bills of the governor's program, and, what more, the old time Democratic m chine leaders ided not to let th bills pass the lower house. That the situation when the legislature met in January When it adjourned in April one of the five promises made in th: Democratic platform were laws on the statute books of New Jersey, and along with them were several pew reform laws Credit Due to Wilson. That the redemption of those plat forin promises was dne solely to the courage and practical common sense of Governor Woodrow Willson Is ad mitted by everybody In New Jersey.
