Hi aid
.'In the present campaign there is a great
difference in method between the Repuoli-
can and Democratic candidates. The DEM
ocratic candidates are able TO speak for
themselves on National and State issues;
they have come before the people all ov.r
the county and extensively stated their
views on all of the questions of the day,
there is not section of the county saere
they have not been heard. Their views
have been frankly explained to large meet-
ings The kepubli an candidates have
fhised to indicate their ideas in any wise.
My platform is brief-'Equal Taxation,
Equal Rights, Equal Privileges believe
that railroads ana other corporation should
bear their equal share of the burdens of
taxs tioa; if they did, the tax rate in Jersey
City would be less than per cent, instead
of 2.98. This question affects the tenant
as we'll as the landlord. because in tile cad
the tenant pays the taxes"
Mr.. Edwards showed how from the be-
ginning Of the agitation the Democrats had
taken up the canss of equal taxation. He
also expressed his views on the rights OF
ganized labor and ether imp ortsnt ques-
sions, and was frequently intercepted by
ap 2lause.
Joseph n. Noouan said: This being the
wake of the Republican party, and the will

asm, that if J.fferson could see such a
pseseztativs of his policy as Mr. Kerr
he would turn in disgust in his
coffin. He believed that Kerr uAs not
willing to beat McADoe further than to
elect representative Congressman. The
speaker believed Congressman MsAdos TO
be an honest msn because OF the two
terms tAere, he is yet poor man.
