The GOP leaders believed they had a good, fighting chance to win 15 to 17 senatorial seats from their opponents.

New Jersey, the Garden State, is more than the 90-mi- le trip from New York o Phila-delphia. It never can be appreciated by hur-rying through it, or by dashing over to "the Jersey side" fur a few hours. But the vaca-tionist and the sportsman, as well as the farmer, laborer, industrialist or home-seeke- r, will find North Jersey, South Jersev, and all points In between, well worth the time it takes for a visit and inspection. New Jersey is an empire in its own right, the "Mighty Atom" among the states of this nation. It has great industrial areas where "Made in New Jersey" is stamped on thousands of products. Its agricul- ture is highly developed. New Jersey provides homes for its own workers as weU as for tens of thousands who have business address In New York City or Philadel-phia. Its broad highways, each a scenic and historic route, offer motor trips along the coastline of the great Atlantic, or through the hills and valleys, forests and rms. orchards and parks of the interior. In New Jersey, one may have the bustle ef the city, the vibrant life of seashore resorts, or the quietude ef quaint, forgotten towns where time has stood still. There is Bordentown where the 19th cen-tury still lives on every street, as well as small vil-lages resting solidly In the pockets of northern moun-tains. There is much for every American to e In New Jersey, where Gen. George Washington spent a fourth of his career as commander-in-chie- f during the Revolu-tionary war. Its scores of historic shrines are rich lnc early American lore and legend. Take Cue From Indians. When the early settlers arrived in New Jersey from Europe, they found the Indians growing corn, pumpkins, gourds, tobacco and beans. Taking a lesson from the na-tives, the settlers cleared the land, imported seed and livestock from across the sea, and developed an impor-tant agricultural colony. It became "the Garden State" of Ihe colonies. Today, New Jersey has prosperous small farms and high types of agricultural specialization. Dairy and poul-try farms abound. Small grains and field crops are grown in most parts of the state. Most of New Jersey's v (Ska SI? It : qyAUANrifc farm products are consumed by$ its own cities, or by miladelphia and New York. It is but a step from farm to market. Alexander Hamilton selected the Sussex county, are world famous. Trap rock, sandstone, argillite granite, slate, marble, talc and con-glomerate are quarried in New coast resorts, with boardwalks and convention hall. Long Branch at-tracted visitors from Philadelphia as early as 1750. Wide, safe and sandy beaches are plentiful along the southern coast of New Jersey. Atlantic City is known as "the playground of a na-tion." Traditionally, New Jersey has been the home of many fa-mous people. James Fenimore Cooper and Capt. James Law-rence of "Don't give up the ship" fame lived next door to each other In Burlington. Robert Louis Stevenson, when in America, lived at Manasquan. Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamil-ton fought their famous duel near Weehawken. George Washington wrote his "Farewell Address" tc the army in Berrien House al Rocky Hill. Grover Cleveland, twice U S. President, was born in New Jersey. Woodrow Wilson was pres-ident of Princeton university and governor of New Jersey before be-coming President. Walt Whitman's tomb is at Camden.

Nature has provided abundant attractions to beckon vacationists to New Jersey. Sparkling lakes and moun-tains lure many to the inland areas while the thrill of a seashore vacation draws countless others to the New Jersey coast, with its 120 miles of sandy beaches. Site of Paterson for an industrial city. Early New Jersey scientists and inventors accelerated the trend toward industrialization John Fitch and Col. John Stevens with their steamboats, and Seth Boyden with malleable iron and patent leather-- to be followed later by the genius of Thomas A. Edison, the wizard of Menlo Park. Today there are heavy industries at Newark, brick and terra cotta works around Perth Amboy, ship-yards at Camden, ceramic plants at Trenton woolen mills at Passaic, textile plants at Paterson, and many others in such cities as Eliz- - abetii Bayonne and Jersey City. The State ranks first in smelting and re- - and finish-in- g fining of copper, dyeing of textiles, and ranks high in production. It is sec-on- d rubber goods in manufacture of silk, rayon and chemicals. New Jersey ranks sixth in the nation for value of Mining Starts Early. Few people regard New Jersey as a mineral state. However, in 1685 iron was mined in Monmouth coun-- y and this basic resource has been mined ever since Zinc deposits at Franklin Furnace and Ogdensburg, Jersey, and it has unlimited quanti-ties of sand and gravel, lime, greensand marl and peat. Despite three centuries of de-velopment, about 46 per cent of New Jersey still is In forest! Of great significance are the oystermen and fishing captains of the Jersey coast, one of the world's truly great fishing grounds. From Sandy Hook to Cape May, the coast provides every variety of fishing. Three Main Divisions. New Jersey might be called a peninsula since, with exception of the northern boundary from the Hudson to the Delaware, it is entirely surrounded by water. It has three physical divisions. In the north is a mountainous, lake-studde- d region known as the Appalachi-an Highlands. The central or Tri-ass-section, with gently rolling hills, supports most of the state's urban and industrial development. The large southern coastal plain has fruit orchards, market gardens, swamps, pine wastes and miles of beaches and shallow bays All of New Jersey that touches the Atlantic ocean is famous for its seashore.
