an old warhorse political speaker. Every
campaign finds him ready to sacrifice his
leisure moments for the success of the
Democratic party. His voice and brains
are generally the first placed at the dis
posal of the party and he is always
counted on for several speeches. This is
particularly so when State and National
officers are to be elected in Hudson
county. Thursday night the Prosecutor
went to Summit and delivered
an eloquent discourse on the tariff issue
and the particular fitness of the excellent
nominees of the Democratic party in that
district to fill the requirements OF the
offices He will go to another county to-
night and make another address and he
has been eagerly sought for in every
county in the State. Many Of the requests
for speeches he will favorably consider.

that ii there is lot of candidates for
Office that need their virtues made clear
to the public it is the list nominated by
the so-called Democratic party, but in

'My dear boy. am considering Twill

the smile grew broader.
"Why can not you tell me now, Sem

what about the ballot box stuffers?
then what?"
.sYou wouldn't know what to say" l re-
piled.
"Oh. yes would. Don't say that"
"And what would you say, Senator?"
The Prosecutor did not reply directly
to this but answered.
'You had better prepare for plenty OF
work, for the day after election will
move one of the election cases and from
that time on will keep one continual
procession from here to State Prison in
motion"
"And you will not speak in Hudson
county,"
.'Come to me the day before election

cutor. He laughed SO heartily that
could but feel that he fully appreciated
the grim hnmor of being called on to de-
fend the promoters of ballot box stuffing,
the friends Of the fellows he expects to
lodge in State Prison. OF course this
does not mean all the. Democratic nomi-

Judge Lippincott said there were six
teen cases of indicted election officers to
be tried in patches OF three and four. and
that it would probably require twenty
weeks to dispose Of the cases, although
he did not believe any of the trials would
be as long as that of the first batch.
