JAMES 4. BRADLEY'S ACTIVE CAMPAlGN-H1S
VIEWS OF TIE SITUATION
BED Bank ~ j. Oct. q (SpecaD.-Ths week the
aggressive fusonists settled upon this beautiful town
as their base OF operations against the gamblers
ticket and the many raids they have MADE INTO the
camp of the enemy have been fruitful OF the most
satisfactory results Recruits by the score and
surrenders in goody numbers tell the story OF
weeks campaigning. Not the least among the
number of influential men in the county who have
abandoned party that they might the better serve
the people Is ex-Judge Pitney Curtis. or Manas-
guam, an old Jefersonan Democrat. who up 70
last January honored member or Mon
mouth Countys bench. sitting as an associate In
the Court of Common Pleas with the present pre-
siding Judge, J. Clarence Conover; Aaron e. john
son. of Howell ex-Assemblyman from this county.
and now Assistant Prosecutor OF the Pleas, also
a Democrat and A. l.. Moreau, Editor OF THE
Freehold Transcript" Of the leading organs
OF the Democratic party in the county. Other de-
fections from the Democratic column in the county
include more OF the most solid men IN
Mddleown and Shrewsbury townships: men whose
Democracy has never been impeached but whose
manhood rebels against the domination OF the race
track gamblers influence in the councils OF their
party and who have declared themselves uh-
equvocally In favor of the fusion ticket, and VINO
have given assurances of their intention 10 Work
and vote. for the first time in their lives against
of the home and the integrity Of Monmouth County
This defiant attitude of such considerable pody
of citizens who have hitherto voted and acted with
the Democratic party has greatly alarmed the lead
ers. Their organs and spokesmen now resort 10
vulgar abuse and vilifcaton of the head of the Re-
publican and Citizens League ticket, James a.
Bradley. who is making such a strong fight for the
State Senatorship. The gallant leader OF the fu-
sion ticket chivarously refrans from attacking
any part of his opponants public record save that
bearing upon his in the Legislature on the
racetrack and gambling laws.
The weakest cry so far sent up by the frightened
Democracy Is the shibboleth vote only for Demo
crdt, for the Senator elected this year has voice
and vote next year in the choice of successor to
John r. Mcpherson in the United States Senate
This already has acted a sort of boomerang and
has had much to do with disgusting decent Demo-
Gratis and Independent citizens, who disdain asso-
citation with the Duke of Gloucester, and declare
that with Dir. Bradley in the upper house or the
legislature the people may be sure AT least OF one
vote that Will be recorded against the impudent
pretensions of billy" Thompson. who is ppelaying
for Senator McPhersons old shoes; and who II Is
