Justice Swayze Revered for Wise Rulings in Union to Hudson Shift

The change in the fate of Justice Francis J. Swayze from Union to Hudson counties sparks regret here while Justice James J. Bergenia is anticipated with uncertain confidence. Swayze’s May charge to the Grand Jury on Sunday liquor sales in Elizabeth drew statewide notice for fearless, clear reasoning on inn and tavern licenses. He built a long career from 1879 Marvard College to 1882 admission, 1903 Supreme Court appointment, and leadership roles in Sussex County and the state Republican committees. Diphtheria at Rahway Reformatory is under control but calls for a thorough overhaul persist as Governor Fort’s policies draw mixed reaction from clergy and politicians.
