...both candidates, victory means more than the governor's job. Candidate Meyner, mentioned in passing as a presidential possibility in 1956, will be mentioned even more strongly in 1960 if he can keep his hold on New Jersey. Candidate Forbes has a double goal: long-range, the Princeton graduate ('41) and publisher (Forbes business magazine) would like to be President too. But shortrange, his victory would go a long way toward offsetting recent losses of G.O.P. governorships in Maine, Kansas, Iowa and Pennsylvania and the resounding Republican setback in Wisconsin's Senate election...
Taxes, Taxes, Taxes. To reverse the trend in New Jersey, Forbes quickly discovered he needed both friends and an issue. To gain friends, he revved himself up into an Estes Kefauver of suburbia. He has climbed aboard Manhattan-bound ferryboats to shake hands, waded into lakes, scoured supermarkets, logged 6,000 miles on the converted milk truck. Along with this "Operation Doorbell" went "Operation Coffee Cup." By the hundreds, New Jersey women are sitting down to sip coffee from Forbes-decorated cups, dab at their lips with paper napkins imprinted with a Forbes family cooky recipe, listen to a tape...
...When I started this campaign," says Forbes, "I had a dozen things I wanted to indict the Meyner administration for. But I found out that people were only interested in spending and what we were going to do about taxes, taxes, taxes."

But he is achieving results by scoring the rising budget, blasting Meyner as the biggest-spending governor in state history...
...back from his own party. The key to a Democratic victory rests in Hudson County, where last election Meyner won almost half his 154,000-vote plurality over Republican Candidate Paul Troast. Now Hudson is racked by internecine warfare; "Victory Ticket" Democrats, who last spring wrested control of Jersey City away from Boss John V. Kenny, this election are trying to take the whole county. The conflict and confusion may rob Meyner of many of the votes he needs to roll up in Hudson in order to overcome a Forbes edge in such heavily Republican counties as Essex and Bergen...
...other complainants refuse to go along with the cuts, they will wreck the plan. To date, the six other companies that had been importing heavily for years and whose base-period levels are high have agreed to abide by their quotas. The six (Atlantic, Gulf, Socony, Standard of California, Jersey Standard, Texas), which imported 573,800 bbl. a day in July, plan to cut to 471,000 bbl. by December, 22,000 below the Government's request. But last week they showed signs of weakening, nervously eyed the appeals for quota boosts. Gulf Executive Vice President David Proctor warned...
