PANTER & MORGAN EARN ENDORSEMENT FROM AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF UNIVERSITY PROFESSORS
Assemblymen Michael J. Panter and Dr. Robert L. Morgan today announced that the American Association of University Professors endorsed their candidacy for re-election to the state Assembly.

At 4:25 PM on Tuesday, Assemblyman Upendra Chivukula formally announced that on Sunday he was among the 40,000 people who attended a lecture given by the Dalali Lama at Rutgers University, and that he was among a smaller -- but still massive -- group at a reception before the lecture. In Chivukula's own words: "It has been a goal of mine to meet this most esteemed world leader promoting." Chivukula doesn't say what the Dalai Lama was promoting, but it doesn't matter -- the important thing is for voters to know that without his attendance, the crowd may only have been 39,999.

From the Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers University: "In the spring of 1910, Col. George Harvey, editor of Harper's Weekly, persuaded [former U.S. Senator] James Smith of Newark, "boss" of the New Jersey Democratic Party, to support [Woodrow] Wilson for the gubernatorial nomination. Wilson, who had recently lost an internal struggle at Princeton with one of his deans, agreed to accept the nomination if it were offered without conditions. Smith's well-oiled machine worked perfectly, but his plan to elect a dignified puppet soon went awry. Wilson accepted the Democratic state convention's nomination, aligned himself with the progressive forces that had been fighting Smith, and won in a landslide on Nov. 8, 1910. It was only the beginning of the revolution. Before his inauguration Wilson prevented Smith's election to the United States Senate by the state legislature. Inaugurated on Jan. 17, 1911, the new governor maintained such heavy pressure on the legislature at Trenton that he won enactment of most of his program in one session: direct primaries; effective state regulations of public utilities; workmen's compensation; municipal reform; and reorganization of the school system. In early 1913 he won the last of his important demands--antitrust legislation to drive industrial monopolies from New Jersey."
