ping the devil around the prohibition post.
But, as Sara ). g. Downs truly says, "Ths
die is cast !" That little temperance plank,
neighbors, is a little too weak for the Pro-
hibitionists and good deal too strong for
the large class of-as we stated hereto
fore-good, solid, thrifty, law-abiding citi-
zens of this State who enjoy and intend to
stick to their enjoyment of glass of beer
when they feel so inclined.
Mr.. Green pledges himself to carry out
the great reform problems of the day in the
State by continuing the policy of equal
taxation inaugurated by Leon Albeit, and he
is the man above all others in the State,
except Leon Albeit, best fitted for the
task. If Leon Albeit were candidate
to-day for reelection to the highest Office
within the gift of the people Of this State
he would sweep the State by clear ma
jority of 1000, against the combined oppo-
sition of the Republicans, the Prohibition
lists, the Littlss and tho Kelseys; but as
the constitution prohibits man from being
Governor for two successive terms in this
State, the voters of the State will act wisely
by going to the polls on November I'd and
voting for Robert Stockton Green, who will
have proven himself when his term has
expired the peer of any Executive the State
of New Jersey has ever had.
Among the State political notes pub
lished on the second page of this paper,
are several suggestive little items. They
point to the universally of the opposition,
even among Republicans, to the return of
Railroad Republican, or a Railroad man,
whichever you please, to the United
States Senate. In Newark we know the
feeling against the monopolies to be as
strong as it is in this county. Jenkins of
Morris is having lively fight vita the
Arti-Sewell Republicans. in his efforts to
reach the State Senate, and he is con-
fronted besides with dangerous labor
candidate, and probably more dangerous
Prohibition candidate His path to glory
seems to be thorny one indeed. and it is
doubtful if he can hold out to the end
Speaker E. Amber Armstrong, Gen. Sew
ellis chief cook in the Republican kitchen,
has an Independent Republican contest
against him, with slim" Scovel as an ac-
tive candidate, and altogether the prospect
of the three Sewell candidates there is so
that one of the local papers
there says that they all think seriously of
The railroad question-in
its political and economic aspects-is the
overtowering issue in the progressing cam
paign, and if the taxpayers of Hudson
county are true to themselves, they will
see to it that all the Republican railroad
candidates here are eliminated from poll
tics on election day, and the Democratic
Anti Monopolists sent to carry out the re-
forms already happily inaugurated by the
closing administration. It is not enough
to elect Democratic Governor to insure
the largo corporation tax reform that is
needed, or even to make that which has
already been accomplished permanent and

the Legislature 1t is there that the law
must first be made. Till the Legislature
has taken action, the Governor is power

the legislature directs, and execute it
after it has been directed. But without
