is frequently asked: what will the
short-hairs do if Chancellor McGin
should be nominated9' He declares

but he qualities the statement with big
'if."
The ex-jailor of Hudson County is
still active in politics, and he is in it
| because he is naturally a politician and
cannot keep out of political excitement.
| He is now making a living as the man

that ''The Daily Advertiser correspon-
dent saw in the establishment indicates
that he is in the plumbing business,
which is, as everybody knows, pronta-
bic business. but not so quick at money
producing as being Sheriff or jailer.
The M-jailer was at his desk with his
sleeves rolled up. wearing rusty straw
hat. which had unusually large ventila-
ton holes. He was busy and was die
tating some letters to his typewriter
when 1.-THE Daily Advertiser correspen-
dent intruded. Over his desk hung
placard bearing his picture, and the an
nouncement that the Robert 5. DAVIS
| Association would give an outing to the
poor of Jersey City. This is an annual
event and is appreciated by thousands

be cussed in politics, the poor of the

Bob Davis has one virtue more than
any otfTer-it is frankness when ne
chooses to talk. He is oftener a SPHINX IGS
talking day. The question as to VINO

my choice will be the choice of the
Democrats of Hudson county" he
shrewdly observed. IF it is Chancellor
McGiil; he is my choice, and :, | !. believe ls4
he will be supported by every Democrat.
He is a man universally respected and

of course, you know there is considera-
bic said about the ballot box stufIerS
and the pardoning. of the big -Four

is not man that was put away for
| ballot box stuffing, as they described II,
who would not support Chancellor Me-
always contended that many of those
| men knew nothing of the offense of
which they We're charged and indicted,
and the fact. that Chancellor McGfl as
a member of the Court of Pardons vo-
| ted against their release, would not af-
feet his political chances. for every one
of them would turn in and, work for him.
Even Mr.. Mclaughlin himself is a warm
admirer of the. Chancellor, and the fact

McLaughlin's interest in the success of
the ticket.
There is no doubt that Mr. McGill
win receive the united support of the
Democratic party of Hudson county. He
is to my mind Hudson colnty's candi-
late. There are some who think that
Hudson does not particularly need a can
didate, that some other part of the State
could furnish a good. man. an and it would
matter of opinion. I do think myself
that, considering what the party has to
do this fail, that it might be. better to
among the people. The Republicans, no
matter whom they nominate, will do con-
siderable talking, and will have their
what great and glorious reforms the
party has accomplished. We also need
a man that can go out and talk to the
people. There are lots of men in the
Democratic party who can do good talk
ing but we want the candidate to move
around-that's. my, notion of the demands
would You regard Attorney General
Stockton as a strong candidate?" Mr..
well the Attorney General is not a
candidate, that is. as understand it.
He has said as long as McGill is in it.
. have his name mentioned in any way
with the nomination as long as McGil
remains a candidate. There is no doubt
that the Attorney General is we'll known
throughout the State. can make a rat
Ting good Democratic speech but it is a
question whether it would be wise to
manner connected with the present ad-
ministration. There would be the cry,
HE belongs to the State House ring,
that he was mixed up in this matter and
that matter, and particularly the senate
trouble few years ago. Personally, !
like the Attorney General and would do
all could for him, but think it is the
year for the Democrats to get together
and select their strongest man;

Morris would not make good candidate
for just this particular reason: He has
not been connected with politics of re-
the farmers, has good ideas about gov
ernment, and could so about the state
hour without even giving the Republi-
cans a chance to point finger at him
1t is a question with some whether the
son and Hoboken, would enthuse over
candidate that would come from the
country Some of the young men do not
seed candidate, while / think that the
Democrats should support any good
Democrat for that office,no matter tWhere
'I believe that New Jersey is Demo-
cratic, and that if we have good can
didate and organization throughout the
State we can win. People are willing
to come back to the Democratic party
and place them in power again, for they
very quick to see through political
lodges and are disgusted with the way
State and local affairs have been con-
Quoted. Here, in our county OF HUDSON,
we can easily elect all our Democratic
candidates for we have worse state OF
affairs here now than ever before, even
in the days when it was claimed that
Hudson was ring-ridden. If we We're to
hold an election tomorrow we could
easily sweep the county, and our Re-
publican friends here are as well aware
of that fact and are making no preten-
no one prominently named for Senator
or for County Judge. 1t would be very
easy for US to get both of these offices,
and we will get quite some few Assem-
blymen, too, for the Republicans did not
redeem the pledges they made in refer
people What people like is consistency.
If the party that is in power takes
political advantage of the existing COM
ditions that are natural, it is expected
and the results accepted, but when any
set of men come into power because they
are reformers, who turn out to be the
worst kind of political tricksters, the
people turn against such men with more
hatred than would be shown towards an
onnosfng party. Hudson County is nat

of New Jersey, and if the Democrats do
not get back the votes they lost it is
their own fault. Because they have
