PEAGIRT. N. J.. Aug. T.. In startling
public proclamation issued today from th
i.u!iimer capital. Governor Fort declare
that unless the excise law is observed ia
Atlantic City, a hich he calls a "Saturnalia
of vtre." next Sunday, and all saloons and
cafes closed tightly, he will call an ex
traordinary session ol the legislature and
may send the New Jersey state troops to
the fsmnus resort, declaring th city to be
under martial laa-
This is tli most drastic action evr taken
to enforce a general law in New Jersey
Governor Fort, In his proclamation, ridi
cules the fiasco of ten days ago. when a
grand Jury at May's Landing, the county
seat, refused to find indictments and say
that the action was a burlesque; that three
members of the grand jury were owner
of saloot'S in Atlantic City and that th
others were in eymrwtry with the violator
rf the lnw. The grand Jury now In session
is not likely to find mdictments. the gmr
mor declares, and In his proclamation he
state that he hss affidavits from James
C. Rteelman -and William Reeves Winters
stating that they purchased liquors last
Bundsy in saloons operated by three mem
bers of the grand Jury.
The governor says he can see btrt em
of two things to do under th rhr-um-tanres.
Frst, call out th militia and
police of Atlantic City, declaring the re
sort to be under martial law. Tills would
rulr an approprition ry the legislature.
Second, he will ask a aitecial session of the
legislature to enact special legislation
authorising him to appoint a disinterested
commission to take charge of the affairs
of Atlantic City. He also wants a law
authorising him to remove officers, after
a hearing, for failure to perform or who
wilfully refuse to do their dty.
In his proclamation the governor incor
porates an affidavit made by James C
Steelman and William Reeves Winters. In
which they declare that they purchased
liquor on Sunday in the open saloons of
thre rrand Jurors, Hairy S. Graff,
Anthony N. Fuflu and W. S. Stafford.
4V, eraar's Praelaaa.tf.
"The sheriff has made no effort to en
force the law relative to selling liquor
on Sunday." the proclamation reads, "the
chief of police wl'l make no effort to en
force these laws or the laws against gamb
ling or immoral houses and lewd women
unless ae ordered by the mayor, and the
mayor refuses to so order. Therefore, L
as governor of the state, propose to see
that the laws are enforced, and to that
end I will ask the legislature for power
to remove delinquent officers and to other
wise enforce the laa.
"Two methods sugrest themselves a a
retmdy when the officials refuae and the
court of .laa- ara xiowerleaa to punlea the j
I wTongduer.
"First, to caTl out the militia and polio
i th city with soldiers and cloe up the
! Illegal places by the mili ary arm of the
state. This amounts to declaring martial
i law.
j "Second, to call the legislature together
, to grant an appropriation to cover the rost
; of the m.lltary Increase of its being called
' out or to enact leg.siation to place the
drawing of all Juries in the hands of an
! lndejiendent oommisHon, that fair men may
j be selerled for this du'y; and also to au-
thorlxe the governor or the courts to re-
move, after hearing, officials who wilfully
! and perversely refuse to do their ditty.

Mr. Martin was
on the program for a discussion of a paper
by Attorney General West of Oklahoma
on the subject, "Experiments
in Gnvern-

to the effect thst the Nehraskan gave the
legal lights something to think about.
As a matter of fact, as Mr. Martin told

The activity of Chairman Stephen of lh
democratic committee of the Third district
in working for the nomination of Senator
Latta and against Edgar Howard, the Col
umbus editor who has been a pilar in the
parly since the year one, and who has done
Lis work without any exjectation of re
ward, is worrying th democratic state
committee.
It is charged by friends of Howard that
Stephens used the name of Br-an and the
democratic commute to secure a poll of
the district and the names secured acre
then used In the Latta campa.gn.
Howard, a a closing stmt of the cam- i
paign. ha just published Number j of "The i

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug T. 'Special
Telegram X'nless something unforseen
happens to change materially the political
situation, th great stale of the mldd'e
and far west unquesi ion b! v will cast their
electoral vof s for William lloaard Taft
of Ohio.
I have given In detail In previous letters
thr situation as it rxints In West Vl-g'.nla.
Ohio, Indiana. Illinois. Missouri. Iowa. Ne
braska, the states of the northwest sod
cf the Pacific slope, but there remains to
be considered some potters cf reneral Im
portance which are worthy of discussion
in weighing th relative chances of the
republican and democratic candidates.
Mr. Bryan Is admired rathir than con
demned for his persistence in seeking again
the presidency. H Is stronger today than
b ever has leen. lrgly because of the
rxtenslv advert isemi'St he ha received.
It is pointed rut, ton. that ome of the
measures h ads m ated years ago have
been adopted by th republican partv.
There is no stain upon his private lite and
tt is realised if he were elected he would
make an honest president.
Mil at lssa.M
Rut Mr. Bryan ha never recovered from
his advocacy of "lamn," the free ilvr tag
still hangs around his neck. It frightens
the business element. The objection entei
tained to him by this S'-cticn of the com
munity has been Intensified by Tils declara
tion in favor of government ownership of
railroads, about which he is now Uent; his
general attitude towards railroads nnd cor
porations, and his support of the Oklahoma
plan of governnient insurance of bank de
posits. Business. tof, scents trouble, along
the line of the boycott nd labor agitation,
from the democratic anti-Injunction plank.
What the democrat might do with reapct
to the tariff also is or Importance lo the
business element, but mor than th!. It
is of individual moment to the small pro
ducer, whether h be manufacturer or
agriculturist. When tt i considered that
in a southern state like Missouri the demo
cratic candidate for congras fisAa 4t

raw products of bis dlafiot the Importanca
of the tariff In this campaign will be real
ised Vpon the Pacific roast Mr. Bryan's anti.
imperialism policy of 3OT0 ts not forgotten,
and it is difficult to make the people of
the Pacific slope bellev that a man who
spoke as be did has abandoned hi views

western ocean. Th sop thrown to them

Harxnoar ! Real.
There is doubt the democratic party
is more united today than it has been since
G rover Cleveland's election in 18112. Tins
is an advantage which friends of Bryan
argue will have a wonderful effect when
I the votes are cast. Many of the gold demo-
one.
More independence is bring manifested
by the voter in the matter of hi choice
for tiie presidency. It is less today a ques
tion of party affiliation than it ever has
been. have hi ard democrats assert they
j sill vote the republican ticket, because they
j do not like the radical principles for which
; Mr. Bryan stand, while practically Ik
republicans are prepared to transfer their
vote to the democratic candidate. This
particularly is true of th negro. In spit
